Dave shares the real story of turning down a job he wanted, because a feeling inside him said no, and he read it as a verdict instead of what it actually was. Years later, sent back to the same city, he finally knew what to do with that alarm instead of obeying it.
In this episode:
- The moment a job offer turned into a whole-body no
- Sorting intuition from pattern, trauma, and an old protector part
- A practice for telling a real signal from an old alarm
- What changed the second time disorientation hit
- Why old, sequential strategies don't work when change is stacked and running in parallel
- Becoming an inner wilderness guide for your own signals
