What happens when the life you've built no longer feels like it truly belongs to you?

In this thought-provoking episode of Create the Courage to Be Fearless, Anita Mattu sits down with intuitive energy guide, author, and podcaster Dr. Brandon Croud to explore authenticity, self-trust, intuition, and the courage it takes to live in alignment with your true self.

Brandon shares how his journey inward helped him move beyond external validation and uncover a deeper sense of purpose. Together, they discuss the signs that you're living according to other people's expectations, why change can feel uncomfortable even when it's necessary, and how learning to trust yourself can transform every area of your life.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How to recognise when you're living for approval instead of authenticity
• The difference between intuition and fear-based thinking
• Why spiritual awakenings often begin through everyday life experiences
• How becoming a father later in life shifted Brandon's perspective and emotional awareness
• The connection between nervous system regulation, fear, and personal growth
• Practical ways to build self-trust through reflection, journalling, and mindfulness
• Brandon's simple coin-flip exercise for strengthening intuition and decision-making
• Insights on workplace wellbeing, leadership, and creating healthier organisational cultures
• The inspiration behind his children's book Alden and the Light That Blinked Back

If you've ever felt caught between who you are and who you think you should be, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, listen to your inner voice, and take the next step toward living more authentically.
