Can your body actually help you make better decisions? This episode dives deep into the science of interoception and your brain’s way of reading internal signals like your heartbeat, breathing, and subtle physical sensations and how tuning into these messages can guide you toward aligned choices.

If you’ve ever felt “something’s off” in your body about a decision, this episode explains why those signals matter, and how to use them without blindly following every gut feeling. Inspired by cutting-edge neuroscience and the work of Antonio Damasio, you’ll discover how your body, emotions, and mind work together in decision-making.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How your body constantly sends signals before your mind even knows
Why interoceptive awareness can improve emotional clarity, self-regulation, and risk assessment
Simple practices to notice your body’s messages before making choices
How tension, relaxation, or subtle shifts in energy inform but don’t dictate your decisions

We guide you through practical exercises to feel your body’s responses to real-life decisions. This isn’t about replacing logic,it’s about adding a vital layer of intelligence to your decision-making process.

What did your body tell you when you tried this exercise? Did anything surprise you?

Decision-making isn’t about forcing clarity or thinking harder. It’s about creating space to listen to your body, interpret your emotions, and evaluate with your mind. When all three voices are invited to the table, your best path forward becomes visible and not because you overanalyzed, but because you allowed yourself to truly hear what’s already there.
