You know that feeling when something big is coming up. An interview, a deadline (me, yesterday!), or the sheer experience of putting yourself out there. Nervousness builds, and the gut often senses it first.
Butterflies? Maybe. A sudden wave of nausea? Also possible. That unmistakable churning that makes you rethink all your life choices? Definitely.
But how does your stomach know? It’s not like it was in the meeting where they scheduled your presentation. It didn’t read the email reminding you that your deadline is today. And yet, there it is, reacting, tensing, flipping as if it got the memo before your brain did.
What if I told you… it kind of did?
Your gut stays in constant conversation with your brain, and at times it takes the lead in shaping how your body responds.
The question is: who’s really in charge…your head or your gut? Or both?
