Untamed Voices

The Soft Voice Within: Intuition, Survival, and Learning to Discern

Lizzi Varga Reinard Season 1 Episode 2

In this second episode of Untamed Voices, Lizzi explores what many of us call intuition—the soft inner voice that grows clearer when we learn to listen. But what happens when trauma, fear, or inherited biases sound just as loud? Drawing from lived experience and clinical insight, Lizzi unpacks the difference between intuitive knowing and survival responses, why they can feel identical in the body, and how to build discernment without shaming yourself for being human.

You’ll hear real-world examples (like reacting to a familiar “trigger” in someone’s appearance), a compassionate look at intergenerational fear and cultural conditioning, and simple somatic check-ins to help you pause, get curious, and choose from clarity rather than panic. This is not about ignoring caution—it’s about learning when your body is wisely protecting you and when it’s safe to widen the lens.
