Ep. 92: Courage Casts - Trust Your Gut
In this episode, Josh breaks down what it really means to trust your gut and why those first instincts are often more accurate than people think. He explains how pattern recognition, experience, and subconscious cues shape your internal signals long before your mind has time to overthink. Josh talks about the difference between intuition and anxiety, how ego can cloud judgment, and why quiet moments are essential for hearing what your body is trying to tell you. This is a practical look at how to make clearer decisions, avoid overthinking, and build confidence in your own internal compass.
