About this episode

Vanessa Bennett discusses how women are conditioned to distrust their intuition and the importance of rebuilding somatic literacy.

If you’ve ever felt something in your body long before you had language for it, and then immediately started talking yourself out of it, this episode is for you. Vanessa Bennett explores how women are conditioned to distrust instinct, often becoming the first ones to disbelieve themselves. She explains why this isn’t accidental, it’s socialization and policing. Using Jung’s frame on intuition and the Cassandra archetype, we unpack the difference between intuition, anxiety, trauma activation, and projection. We also explore why “not irrational, early” is a more honest way to name what the body registers. The repair starts with relationship: rebuilding somatic literacy, pausing before self-gaslighting, and letting the signal matter before you have a PowerPoint’s worth of proof.  For educational purposes only.
