Is it intuition or anxiety? If you are struggling to tell the difference, you are not alone. In this episode, I explain why true spiritual guidance is never loud and how to finally stop overthinking so you can break the mental loop of doubt.

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by a decision, wondering if that "urgent feeling" is a warning sign or just fear pretending to be helpful, this episode is for you. We often mistake the loudness of anxiety for the importance of a message. But as you'll learn, your true inner voice doesn't scream—it whispers.

In this episode, we explore:

• The "Siren" Trap: Why anxiety attacks use urgency to trick you, and how to spot the difference between survival instinct and true intuition.
• Decoding the Texture: How to identify the "jagged," constricted energy of fear versus the "smooth," expanded nature of trusting your intuition.
• The Relief Trap: Why making a fast decision just to end the tension is usually just "solving an emotion" rather than finding mental clarity.
• Practical Discernment Tools: How to use the "Return Test" to filter out mental noise and hear your inner voice clearly.
