Is That Intuition or Anxiety? Here's How to Finally Tell the Difference

Is That Intuition or Anxiety? Here's How to Finally Tell the Difference

Author: Will Rodriguez & Karen Endsley | Consciousness & Enlightenment Guides July 1, 2026 Duration: 58:41
Most people who think they're listening to their intuition are actually replaying an old survival pattern. The difference matters more than you think, and once you understand it, you can't un-see it.
 
Laura Day is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the most respected intuition consultants in the world. For over 40 years she has worked with billion-dollar companies, Fortune 100 executives, and some of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. Her new book, The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future, is the framework she spent decades building. and surviving. to finally put on paper.
 
In this conversation, Laura breaks down why smart, self-aware people keep repeating the same patterns, why healing requires rebuilding rather than just understanding, and why getting what you want is actually the first step in the process. not the reward at the end of it.
 
In this episode:
  • Why intuition and anxiety feel similar but work completely differently, and the one question that instantly tells you which one you're dealing with
  • The reason you keep attracting the same relationships, the same dynamics, and the same outcomes. even when you know better
  • What Laura means when she says "you cannot think outside the box because you are the box"
  • How the first seven years of your life built the structure that is quietly running your adult decisions
  • Why insight alone. no matter how much therapy, journaling, or inner work you've done. won't change the structure underneath
  • The practical, non-mystical case for intuition. backed by a Nobel Laureate
Laura doesn't ask you to believe anything. She asks you to run the experiment and see what happens.
