Favorite Moments: Trust Your Gut! The Neuroscience of Intuition with Dr. Tara Swart


Listen Later

Ever feel torn between what your gut says and what your brain is screaming at you?

In this 15-minute power cut from the original interview with neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr. Tara Swart, we dive into the real reason we second-guess ourselves, get stuck in fear, and stay disconnected from our own inner wisdom.

It’s not just mindset. It’s biology. And once you understand how your beliefs are formed — and how they’re stored in your body — you can finally start to shift the patterns keeping you stuck.


You’ll learn:

  • Why your intuition feels blocked (and how logic hijacks your decision-making)
  • How to reconnect with your inner voice and actually trust it
  • Mindfulness vs. meditation: what’s the real difference (and why it matters)
  • How cortisol quietly impacts your mind, body, and decision-making
  • Why being fully present is the secret to deep self-trust
  • What “healthy risk” really means — and how it creates a more aligned life

This short, potent episode will help you begin to reflect, release, and reprogram the narratives keeping you stuck — and offer a new way to approach healing that’s rooted in both science and compassion.

🎧 Hit play to shift from confusion to clarity — and start building a life that’s led by your intuition, not your fear.
