How to Trust Your Intuition (Even When You Feel Fear)
Summary
The host explores the science behind intuition, explaining that gut feelings stem from the enteric nervous system, or "second brain," rather than mysticism. He distinguishes between the loud voice of fear and the quiet whisper of intuition, using his own career decisions as examples of trusting instinct over logic. The episode offers practical advice on developing this skill through silence, meditation, and self-awareness to make better life choices.
