161: The Truth About That "Bad Feeling" You Just Can't Shake

Send us a text

Here's the truth about that "bad feeling" you can't shake.. you know.. the one you had when you spiraled over that text, replayed a conversation 100 times, or felt a knot in your stomach and wondered—Is this my intuition warning me… or just fear playing tricks on me? 

Today you’ll learn how to finally tell the difference between your inner wisdom and your old survival patterns—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start building real trust with your own intuition.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why many highly sensitive people mistake fear for intuition—and what to do about it
• How past trauma creates "false alarms" that feel very real
• The physical differences between fear and intuition in your body
• Why intuition feels calm and expansive—while fear feels tight and urgent
• How fear often disguises itself as logic (“I’m just being realistic…”)
• 5 practical tools to help you tell the difference between fear and intuition:
  • The 10-second body check
  • The 24–48 hour time test
  • The “Best Friend” perspective shift
  • Journaling to connect with your intuition
  • The worst-case scenario exercise
• How to know when it’s a true intuitive nudge vs. emotional reactivity

Challenge for the Week:

Choose a current situation where you're feeling uncertain or emotionally activated.
Apply the 10-second body check and ask:
💭 “If I say yes to this, how does my body feel?”
💭 “If I say no, what shifts inside me?”

Then journal using the prompt:
🖊️ What does my intuition have to say about this?
Let your body—not your fear—lead the way.
