Overthinking vs. Intuition: How to Tell the Difference

Have you ever made a decision and then immediately started second-guessing every part of it?

You thought you were following your gut… but now you’re spiralling, wondering if it was intuition or just anxiety in disguise.

In this episode of Unwind Your Mind, I break down the key differences between overthinking and intuition and why it’s so hard to tell them apart. You’ll learn what each really feels like, why overthinking tends to drown-out our inner wisdom, and how to start reconnecting with that calm, grounded sense of knowing.

If you're tired of over-analysing every decision and want more clarity (without needing a 12-point pros and cons list), this episode is for you.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Overthinking is loud, urgent, and fear-driven. Intuition is quiet, calm, and reassuring.

2️⃣ Many high-achievers have been disconnected from their intuition for years but the good news is this is a skill you can rebuild.

3️⃣ Start small by practising “body-up” decisions and learning to notice how clarity feels, not just how it sounds.
