Have you ever had a feeling about something before you could explain it? A thought that came out of nowhere, a sense that something was off, or an instinct you couldn't ignore?

In this episode, Jenny explores intuition as an often-overlooked source of intelligence. She shares personal stories and practical insights on what intuition is, why we tend to dismiss it, and how to tell the difference between intuition and anxious feelings.

You'll learn why intuition can help in a world full of noise and information and how we might build a better relationship with our intuition.
