Episode 147 - How to Cultivate Confident Intuition (Even as an Overthinker)
If you second-guess every decision or get stuck in analysis paralysis, this episode offers a grounded path forward. Intuitive guide Monica Akasha joins me to unpack how to discern intuition from anxiety, how to build self-trust in daily decisions, and why embodiment makes your inner guidance clearer. We explore practical tools that help you read your own energy, regulate your nervous system and choose aligned action in business and life.
You will hear what overthinkers can do to create clarity on demand, from silence practices and journalling to micro-grounding rituals that bring you back into your body. We also talk candidly about burnout, triggers and shadow work, and how honesty and self-resourcing shorten the path between clarity and action. Monica shares how branding supported her confidence and client attraction, plus first steps for women who feel intuitively blocked.
If you are ready to lead with calm authority, this conversation will help you cultivate a reliable relationship with your intuition, simplify choices and move with integrity.
