When Your Instinct Is Actually Just Your Trauma in a Vision Board

How to tell if that burning impulse is your soul calling, or just your wound screaming for proof you matter 🐅✨🔥

What if what you’re calling instinct is actually just your nervous system doing interpretive dance while screaming “VALIDATE ME DADDY” into the void? Yeah. Sit with that for a second. 🫠

Because here’s the thing nobody tells you about “following your gut”: sometimes your gut is a LIAR. A beautiful, convincing, Oscar-worthy liar who learned all her tricks from your childhood trauma and now cosplays as intuition at spiritual retreats.

But babe. Is that really your soul talking? Or is that just Brenda, your inner people-pleasing gremlin who’s been running the show since you were seven and learned that being “good” kept you safe? 👹

And if you don’t know how to read the signals? You’re gonna keep mistaking fire alarms for dinner bells, babe. 🔥🍽️

This essay grew up and moved out. It lives in NO LONGER AVAILABLE: Why Everything Falls Apart When You Finally Choose New and How to Stay now.

The full text is in print. A book with a spine, a cover, and a body that holds the whole thing.

You finally chose different. Then 48 hours later, every old pattern knocked on your door wearing a new outfit. This is the book about what happens AFTER you change, and how to not go back.
