In this episode, I sit down with Alex Monello to explore the connection between fear and intuition. We talk about how tuning into your body’s signals—and learning to hear the soft whispers—can guide you toward what’s truly meant for you, ultimately leading to a life rooted in love and alignment with who you really are. We also dive into why self-compassion is essential on the healing journey, and how to recognize when your choices are coming from love versus fear. Your body is your compass, and we share practical ways to begin tapping into its wisdom.
Alex opens up about her own experiences with chronic illness and emotional suppression, highlighting the importance of listening to subtle signals before they turn into “hard lefts.” Together, we discuss building inner strength, the role of awareness in decision-making, and the practices that help us cultivate deeper trust in our intuition.
Throughout the conversation, Alex emphasizes the value of patience, presence, and forgiveness as we move through life’s nonlinear path of healing.
Key Takeaways:
* Why your intuition is a powerful compass for healing
* How ignoring subtle body signals can create bigger health challenges
* The role of self-compassion and forgiveness in the healing journey
* Fear often shows up as control, while love creates openness and ease
* Decisions rooted in love feel expansive, while fear-based choices feel constricting
* How meditation and stillness strengthen your connection to intuition
* Building a personalized self-care toolkit for resilience and healing
