(Summary by Bridget Gaige) Everyday Intuition Susan Gorman Intuitive Counselor What's it like to pull intuition out of the margins? Intuitive counselor Susan Gorman wants you to find out. In Seasons 1 & 2, friend Lara Bricker signs up to be her guest intuitive-in-training and discovers how to trust herself. In following seasons, Susan shares the personal stories that span her career and how they shaped her perspective that intuition is our most natural resource. Susan's specialty is taking on New Age myths and misconceptions which have caused nothing but mischief for most of us, and which prevent us from understanding that intuition is for everyone, every day.
