Have you ever found yourself second-guessing a decision? What are the subtle signs your intuition gives you—and are you paying attention to them? How do you balance gut feelings with data when making big decisions in your business or life?
In this episode, I dive into the power of intuition in decision-making. I share a personal story about a decision I kept going back and forth on—one that made me realize just how important it is to recognize and trust my intuition. When we learn to listen to those inner nudges, we can make choices that feel more aligned and ultimately lead to better outcomes.
I also talk about how moments of reflection—especially during everyday activities like driving—help me process my thoughts and get to the root of what’s really going on. If you find yourself constantly revisiting a decision, that might be your intuition trying to tell you something.
While intuition is powerful, I also believe in the importance of data. The best decisions often come from a mix of both. There are times when intuition can see things that data can’t—like when sensing market shifts or coming up with new, innovative ideas.
Before we wrap up, I invite you to think about how your intuition shows up in your own decision-making. Try journaling about it or discussing it with someone you trust. You might be surprised at what you discover!
In this episode, I discuss:
• Understanding Intuition in Decision Making
• External Recognition of Intuition
• Feelings Associated with Decision Making
• Blending Intuition with Data
