What does “going with your gut” feel like to you? How did you learn to “trust your gut”?

As the title indicates, I am curious how folks have “gone with their gut intuition”, especially in circumstances where they are faced with tough decisions or life-altering changes. Some thoughts/prompts for discussion:

What does your “gut” feel like to you?

How do you reconcile differences between your “gut feeling” and what your brain is thinking/telling you?

How do you get to the point where you decide to “go with your gut”?

Can you share examples of when you went against your brain, and followed your gut, and it turned out to totally be the right decision for you?

Do you have any examples of when you followed your gut intuition, instead of what your brain/logical mind was telling you, and it came back to bite you?

How have you learned to “trust your gut”?

What tactics or steps have you learned to take when trying to parse between what your “gut” is telling you and what your “brain” is telling you?

Curious how other people listen to their gut and use that intuition to make decisions or choose which direction to go in (concerning life stuff, career stuff, relationship issues, etc.).
