Intuition vs. Anxiety: How to Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
Send us a text
What if the voice you’ve been quieting is the one that would change everything? Today we talk about the messy middle between “I can’t” and “I’m doing it”—where intuition lives, fear gets loud, and small, repeatable moves create outsized momentum.
My guest is Amanda Riffee—bestselling author of Unleashing You, internationally certified expansion & empowerment coach, speaker, and host of the Unleashing You with Amanda Riffee podcast. After 18 years in corporate leadership (17 with the same company), Amanda hit burnout on repeat and made a radical, values-led pivot that turned into retreats, a hit podcast, a book tour, and a business that actually fits.
If you’re on the cusp of a leap—or you’re done outsourcing your decisions to fear, ego, or someone else’s expectations—this conversation is your permission slip. We break down the difference between intuition and anxiety, how to take the first three steps when you can’t see the whole staircase, and how to use your values to decide what’s truly worth your energy.
What You’ll Learn
- How to tell intuition from fear and ego (and why your first quiet signal matters)
- The “first three steps” method to start anything when you can’t see the roadmap
- Using values as a decision filter to avoid burnout-level sacrifice
- Boundary-setting in real life: “If it’s not a heck yes, it’s a heck no”
- Small steps → big outcomes: Amanda’s first retreat story and how she trusted the nudge
