Intuition vs. Pattern Recognition: Can You Really Trust Your Gut?

This week, Adamandia and Vanessa discuss the fascinating overlap between intuition and pattern recognition.  Are our gut feelings truly instinctual, or are they shaped by everything we’ve experienced? Adamandia shares some of the ideas she’s been exploring in school, and the conversation evolves into how we make decisions, when we trust ourselves, and what happens when that trust gets shaken. That leads them to chat about the book Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and how reconnecting with ourselves is often a process of unlearning, healing, and rebuilding trust. Plus, a little preview of what’s coming up: Vanessa will be testing out some fresh jokes on next week’s episode (pray for her), and the week after that, they'll be talking about self-sabotage.
