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
