68. When (and how) to trust your intuition (with Helen Pamely)

15 Minute Freelancer

Do you follow your gut instincts when making business decisions? Or do you prefer poring over logical lists of pros and cons?
Intuition and logic might not be as far apart as you think. On today's episode, Helen Pamely, a former city law firm partner turned wellness coach, helps us figure out how to tune in to our intuition and why it can be such a powerful guide in business. We cover:

• What is "intuition" and how do we know what it's telling us?
• Is intuition something you're born with or can it be learned?
• How do we tell the difference between gut instinct about red flags and a fear that's holding us back?
• How to explain intuitive decisions to clients who may be looking for concrete data.
