Your Intuition Isn’t Broken — Your Nervous System Is Overstimulated

In this episode, the relationship between the nervous system and intuition is broken down through both science and lived experience. Chronic stress, sympathetic dominance, and lack of safety in the body are explored as the real reasons intuition feels quiet or inaccessible. Regulation is presented as the foundation for clarity, self-trust, and active participation in health and healing.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why intuition goes quiet in survival mode
• Everyone has intuition, but not everyone can access it
• Nervous system regulation as the gateway to intuition
• Why healing cannot be outsourced
• The role of self-efficacy in health outcomes
• Navigating the healthcare system without giving your power away
• Why meditation is suggested and what it actually does
• How quickly the nervous system can begin to shift
• Why you can’t think your way into parasympathetic
• Intuition as body-based information
• How intuition communicates through physical sensations
• Simple daily nervous system regulation practices
• Creating safety before asking for answers

Summit Takeaway:
If you want clearer intuition, don’t ask better questions — create more safety.

Reflection prompts:
Where in your life are you asking for answers before offering safety?
What would change if you regulated first?
