#6: How Brain State Awareness Unlocks True Intuition

In this episode, I’m unpacking something we all wrestle with – that little voice in your head. Is it your intuition? Or is it fear dressed up as guidance? The key to knowing the difference lies in understanding which brain state you’re in when that voice shows up.

I’ll walk you through the three brain states – Executive, Emotional, and Survival – and how each one shapes your thoughts, your emotions, and the decisions you make. Once you start recognising where you’re operating from, everything changes. You begin to catch yourself before reacting, trust yourself more deeply, and make clearer, more aligned choices.

I’m also sharing a super simple practice you can use daily to check in with your brain state – it’s like learning to speak your nervous system’s language.

If you’ve ever second-guessed your intuition or felt hijacked by your own mind, this episode is here to give you a new lens – one that brings calm, clarity, and confidence back online.

This episode may include adult language. Listener discretion is advised.
