About this episode

The episode explores the origins of gut instincts and how to differentiate between wisdom and prejudice.

In the weeks between new episodes, we'll be revisiting some favorite old ones with some new commentary from Mauricio. In this episode from Season 2, Vanessa brings a question about instincts and intuition. She's always felt that she has good instincts about people, but recently she's started to wonder: where does that gut instinct come from inside of her? And how can she make sure her 'gut' is reflecting her wisdom, instead of her prejudices? With help from Into the Woods and Gilmore Girls , Vanessa and Casper explore how to give people the benefit of the doubt while still being able to trust your instincts. Stick around until the end of the episode for Mauricio's thoughts!
