In this episode of Exploring Magical Portals, Shannon Mary unpacks the fascinating link between brain states and that little voice in your head. Is it your intuition guiding you, or is it fear talking? The answer lies in understanding which brain state you’re operating from.
Shannon breaks down the three brain states—executive, emotional, and survival—and explains how they shape your thoughts, decisions, and ability to process emotions. She also shares simple yet powerful ways to cultivate brain state awareness in your daily life, helping you make better decisions, regulate emotions more effectively, and avoid mistaking fear for intuition.
Highlights include:
- The three brain states and how they impact your thoughts and emotions.
- Why your intuition isn’t always trustworthy (and how to know when it is).
- How survival brain tricks you into making bad decisions.
- A simple practice to check in with your brain state throughout the day.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new lens through which to view your thoughts—one that empowers you to trust yourself when it matters most.
Tune in, get curious, and start decoding the voice in your head.
