271: Grow Your Intuition: Hi y'all! I love today's topic because it is a question I got from y'all. Or more specifically, this is a question I got from Stephanie in Ohio. She called into the hotline to ask this one: I'm trying really hard to listen to my gut in like my inner knowing, but I feel like I'm constantly second guessing myself and I'm debating whether I'm making the wrong decision. So...how do I know the difference between what's my gut and what's my head? I think as women we're told that we are supposed to have this deep, that we were born with an intuition that guides us. And that is 100% the truth. You are supposed to have that, but it's not your fault that you don't! Most of us from the time we were little girls have been told that someone else knows best. So I really want to dig into this question, and let you know that if you're feeling this way, you are NOT alone. --- Do you get my weekly Sunday email?
