Episode 12: How to Trust Your Inner Nudges: Learning Your Body’s Yes and No

Welcome back to All the Feels, sweet friends.In this episode, Lauren explores how to tune out cultural noise, especially around the New Year, and reconnect with your own inner timing, rhythm, and wisdom. Instead of making decisions from pressure, trends, or “shoulds,” this conversation invites you to learn how to listen to your body and emotions as reliable guides.This episode is about developing the skill of discernment: knowing when something is a true yes, a true no, or simply a not-right-now.

✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why calendar dates and cultural trends don’t override your biology or emotional state
  
• How urgency and pressure can pull you out of alignment
  
• The difference between external influence and internal wisdom
  
• How emotions function as an inner compass
  
• What a subtle yes vs. a subtle no feels like in the body
  
• Why pausing is often the most powerful choice you can make

🧭 A Key Takeaway

You don’t need louder guidance, better discipline, or the “right” plan.You need attunement.When you slow down enough to include your body and emotions in the conversation, you stop building your life from pressure and start building it from truth.
