S3 | 4. Fear or Intuition? How to Tell the Difference When You Feel Both
If you ever receive a feeling with your horse and find yourself wondering, "Is this fear… or is this my intuition?" this episode is for you. Many compassionate horsewomen feel stuck between wanting to move forward and feeling paralysed by indecision, unsure whether the sensation in their body is a warning or a nudge. When you don't trust your inner guidance, every next step can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Felicity Davies explores the tender and powerful process of discerning fear from intuition. You'll learn why both can show up at the same time, how childhood conditioning can lead you to outsource your decisions to others, and why you may have been taught to dismiss or push past your internal signals. Felicity offers gentle clarity around the differences between the two so you can begin listening to yourself with more confidence and ease. Inside the episode, you'll explore: 🌙 The difference between feeling fear and intuitive messages 💛 Why both can rise together and create mixed messages 🐴 How to listen to yourself so you can trust your decision to slow down, pivot, or take the next step with your horse 🌀 How to rebuild self trust using past experiences and somatic awareness You'll also be guided through simple practices to help you recognise your intuitive yes or no, reflect on past aligned and unaligned decisions, and feel into the future versions of yourself who have already moved through the crossroads you're standing in now. If this conversation resonates, The Field offers the support, reflection, and community that make self trust easier to access and maintain. It's where your insights deepen, your stuck places soften, and your confidence expands through being seen, supported, empowered and celebrated. — Explore the full Horse Human Connection Playlist here -https://open.spotify.com/playlist/53IV4jlWiRko5JJx0DqbJM https://www.instagram.com/felicitydavies_/ https://www.facebook.com/felicitydaviesintuitive/ https://www.felicitydavies.com.au/
