Have you ever known deep down what the right decision was—but still found yourself analyzing it to death?

Whether it’s a relationship, job, or life decision, intuitive people—especially empaths—often get stuck in their heads, trying to logic their way through emotions. In this episode, we’re diving into why that happens, how it disconnects you from your authentic self, and what you can do to break free from the cycle of overthinking and step back into trust.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

💡 Why intuitive people are especially prone to overthinking
💡 The difference between logical reasoning and inner knowing
💡 How ignoring your intuition can lead to decision paralysis and burnout
💡 Practical tools to clear mental clutter and reconnect to your intuition
💡 How to tell what’s your energy and what’s someone else’s
💡 The role of ego in blocking intuitive wisdom
💡 A personal story about trusting logic over intuition—and the consequences

Challenge for the Week:
This week, notice when you’re overthinking a situation. Pause and ask yourself:

-Is this my intuition speaking… or my fear?
-Am I tuning into my own feelings, or someone else’s energy?
-What would it feel like to just trust my inner knowing right now?

Journaling, meditation, and energy clearing can help you get clarity. Try the mantra: “What’s mine is mine. What’s yours is yours.”

Healing the Fixer, the Controller, and the Victim: Trying On New Roles for Growth

Sometimes the roles we’ve played in order to survive—like the fixer, the controller, or the victim—become so familiar that we mistake them for who we truly are. But what if those identities were never you? What if they were just survival strategies… and it’s finally safe to take them off?

Today we explore how to recognize when these old roles are at play and how to shift into new, healing identities that support your growth and relationships. You’ll learn how to try on new ways of being like the accountability coach, the curious collaborator, and the hero—roles that are empowering, connected, and aligned with your healing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to identify the “fixer,” “controller,” and “victim” roles when they show up in your life
• Why these identities often develop as a way to create safety in unsafe environments
• How to shift from the fixer to the accountability coach—supporting without enabling
• How to transform from the controller into the curious collaborator—inviting trust and flexibility
• How to evolve from the victim into the hero—finding your power through choice
• Questions to help you reflect on which roles you tend to wear and what it’s time to release

Challenge for the Week:
Notice when one of your old roles starts to take over—like the fixer jumping in to solve something that isn’t yours to fix. Pause. Ask yourself: “What would it feel like to choose a new identity here?” Then take one small step into a healing role, even if it feels unfamiliar.

Work With Me:

Here's the truth about that "bad feeling" you can't shake.. you know.. the one you had when you spiraled over that text, replayed a conversation 100 times, or felt a knot in your stomach and wondered—Is this my intuition warning me… or just fear playing tricks on me?

Today you’ll learn how to finally tell the difference between your inner wisdom and your old survival patterns—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start building real trust with your own intuition.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why many highly sensitive people mistake fear for intuition—and what to do about it
• How past trauma creates "false alarms" that feel very real
• The physical differences between fear and intuition in your body
• Why intuition feels calm and expansive—while fear feels tight and urgent
• How fear often disguises itself as logic (“I’m just being realistic…”)
• 5 practical tools to help you tell the difference between fear and intuition:
  • The 10-second body check
  • The 24–48 hour time test
  • The “Best Friend” perspective shift
  • Journaling to connect with your intuition
  • The worst-case scenario exercise
• How to know when it’s a true intuitive nudge vs. emotional reactivity

Challenge for the Week:

Choose a current situation where you're feeling uncertain or emotionally activated.
Apply the 10-second body check and ask:
💭 “If I say yes to this, how does my body feel?”
💭 “If I say no, what shifts inside me?”

Then journal using the prompt:
🖊️ What does my intuition have to say about this?
Let your body—not your fear—lead the way.

Work With Me:

If you're ready to stop living in your head and start living in alignment with your inner knowing, I’d love to support you.

My coaching packages are designed for those who want to reclaim their energy, trust their intuition, and create balance in relationships.
