About this episode

Julia explores the complexities of intuition and the feelings that often accompany it, distinguishing between genuine intuition and other emotional responses.

When something feels off, most of us don’t trust it. We explain it away. Override it. Or ask everyone else what they think, as if someone else might have better access to what’s going on in our own heads. In this episode, Julia takes a closer look at that hard-to-pin-down sense that something isn’t quite right, and why it’s rarely as random as we’d like to believe. Drawing on psychodynamic thinking, she explores what’s happening beneath the surface: how we pick up patterns, respond to micro-signals, and react to things we can’t yet consciously explain. She also makes a crucial distinction. Not every feeling is intuition. Sometimes it’s anxiety, old patterns, or projection. The challenge is knowing the difference. Because ignoring that feeling completely? That doesn’t tend to end well. If you’ve ever left a conversation thinking “that was weird” but couldn’t say why,this episode will help you think about it differently. Here are the highlights of this episode: (1.47) Our brains hate ambiguity (2.34) What’s actually going on in these moments? (4.20) Not every feeling is intuition (5.55) What do we do about this?
