Your Gut’s Been Right This Whole Time

That Feeling You Can’t Explain? You Don’t Have To

We’re conditioned to justify everything:

Stay in the job because it's stable.

Say yes to the offer because it’s a raise.

Keep the peace because “that’s just how the industry is.”

But here's the truth:

Your nervous system doesn't need a résumé to tell when something’s off.

If your stomach drops in the interview...

If your excitement fades after accepting the role...

If your energy tanks every Sunday night...

Your gut already voted.

Intuition Isn’t Woo—It’s Wisdom

Science backs it up: your body processes signals faster than your conscious mind.

That “gut feeling” is your internal warning system, based on patterns, experiences, and subtle cues your brain registers before you can articulate them.

In a career context, intuition shows up as:

Resistance to saying yes (even to something that looks “perfect”)

Dread before meetings or projects

Physical tension when you think about work

Peace when you imagine something different

Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away—it just delays what you already know.

How to Use Your Intuition With Intention

1. Pause Before the Plan: Give yourself a beat before acting. What does your body feel?

2. Separate Fear from Knowing: Fear says, “What if I fail?” Intuition says, “This doesn’t align.”

3. Use Your Words: Try journaling what your gut is trying to say. Often clarity comes when it’s on paper.

4. Play Out the Opposite: Imagine doing the thing you’re resisting anyway. Do you feel relief or regret?

You Know. And That’s Enough.

So many clients I’ve worked with already had the answer before we even started—

they just needed permission to trust it.

This is your reminder:

If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

If it feels like peace, possibility, or power? That’s your next step.

What’s your gut telling you to do next?

Say it in the comments. Or just say it to yourself.

And if you need a sounding board—I’m here to help you honor that knowing.
