Rethinking 'Trust Your Gut': A Guide to Authentic Decision-Making for Women

Before we can effectively use or question our intuition, it's crucial to understand what gut feelings really are. What we often call intuition or gut feelings are typically rapid, subconscious processing of information based on past experiences and learned patterns. While these can sometimes be valuable, they're not infallible.

Gut feelings can be influenced by various factors:

  • Biases and prejudices we may not be consciously aware of

  • Fear and anxiety, which can cloud our judgment

  • Past traumas that may trigger fight-or-flight responses
