Episode Notes:
Dr. Laura hosts another solo episode to discuss the topic of intuition. A topic she is passionate about, she defines intuition as a gut instinct, feeling something is off, or a hunch that something isn’t right. Our intuition is as valuable to our lives as science and data, and Dr. Laura explains why.
Our inner voice is an accumulation of so many experiences we’ve had as a human being and it needs to be taken into account. The common perception that our intuition is “fluffy” or just “emotional” discounts our natural instincts and inner knowing. Dr. Laura explains some of the science behind intuition, the ability to sense external cues that stems from our spinal cord and guts, and why learning to factor intuition into our daily lives gives us extra insight into decision making. Intuition is a gift; we should be conscious of honing it to the benefit of our work and lives.
“We all make decisions that we end up regretting. But I want to encourage you to turn that regret into learning. Say, what did I learn from that for next time that I’m going to put into action so that I can better trust my gut? Because again, the concrete data is important, but it does not always tell us the full story of what lies ahead.” Dr. Laura
