"Is this intuition or is this anxiety?" This question haunted me throughout my 20s.

People would often say, "Intuition feels calm, anxiety doesn’t." But that didn’t feel clear to me at all. So, I went into detective mode, friends 🕵🏽‍♀️.

I think I finally got to the bottom of this question and discovered the real solution you need to stop doubting yourself, build resilience for life changes, and finally trust your intuition again. Plus, I’ve put it all into a FREE guide just for you!
