Your Gut Whispers. Your Mind Argues for Hours.
Have you noticed this?
The answer usually comes fast.
Quiet. Clear. Simple.
And then your mind shows up.
With logic.
With fear.
With “what ifs.”
With spreadsheets and scenarios and second-guessing.
Your gut whispers.
Your mind argues for hours.
And most people mistake the loud voice for the right one.
The Difference Between Intuition and Overthinking
Intuition feels:
✔ Calm
✔ Direct
✔ Neutral
✔ Certain
Overthinking feels:
✖ Urgent
✖ Defensive
✖ Chaotic
✖ Exhausting
One is clarity.
The other is protection.
Your mind is trying to keep you safe.
Your gut is trying to move you forward.
In Business, This Shows Up As…
Sitting on an offer you know is ready
Over-editing your messaging
Delaying the launch
Asking five more opinions
Changing direction when things start working
You knew.
You just didn’t trust the whisper.
What If You Moved on the First Signal?
What if you responded to the quiet clarity instead of the loud fear?
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you don’t know what to do…
But because you already do?
Leadership requires less arguing.
More listening.
And the whisper?
It’s usually right.
