How to tell intuition from anxiety, conditioning, archetypes and fear
In this milestone 30th episode, Jill Marshall flips the script on intuition. What if your gut feeling isn’t always right? What if the voice you think is divine guidance is actually ego, conditioning, or an archetype in disguise? In this wise, witty, and deeply practical episode, Jill explores how to distinguish true intuition from false flags - and how to train your inner knowing with discernment, strategy, and soul.
If you’ve ever struggled with trusting yourself, made a big decision that felt right but wasn’t - or been hijacked by your Inner Saboteur - this one’s for you.
