Rob Bell: What If You Already Know the Answer? Pt 2
from It’s Both — Living in the Messy Middle · host Nikki P
What if the anxiety and overthinking aren't because you don't know what to do — but because you're afraid of what you already know? In Part 2 of my conversation with Rob Bell, we talk about the difference between overthinking as avoidance and trusting your inner knowing. About navigating the messy middle of major life changes when your gut is telling you one thing and your fear is screaming another. For anyone stuck in analysis paralysis, terrified that trusting yourself means you'll get it wrong. Rob shares why anxiety spikes when we disconnect from our bodies, how religious conditioning trains us to distrust our own knowing, and what it means to move from "What should I do?" to "What do I already know?" You'll hear about the grief of realizing you've been betraying yourself to stay safe, and why starting over means listening to the whisper you've been ignoring. In this episode: - Why overthinking is often a way to avoid what you already know - How anxiety disconnects you from your body's wisdom - The grief of realizing you've been ignoring yourself - Boundaries as a practice of honoring your inner knowing - Starting over by trusting yourself first - Faith transition and reclaiming your own authority - Navigating major life changes when fear and intuition conflict - Emotional regulation through body awareness This episode builds on Part 1 ("The Certainty Trap & Overthinking").
