Last week, I learned a really cool trick to help you go with your gut.
I guarantee you’ve never heard gut decisions explained this way before. Because I stumbled upon it in a very random way—while touring colleges with our son Oakley!
We hit 5 schools in 4 days, and over the course of that time, it hit me. Holy smokes, that's the perfect hack for making big decisions.
You can use it anytime you feel torn, uncertain, or scared about how people might feel.
What you’re about to learn is so helpful and memorable, you’ll turn to it over and over again.
This is one of my favorite kinds of episodes, because I’m going to put you right at the scene—the moment I had the epiphany. I’ll give you all the hilarious details, and there’s even a part of the story where, I am embarrassed to say, I acted pretty cringe-worthy.
And that’s not all; as I was taping this episode, two friends chimed in with stories of their own.
So I asked them to jump on the mic and share them with you. Two stories about a moment in their lives that’s so relatable—when they ALMOST didn’t go with their gut and looking back, they’re thankful they did.
Because going with your gut always changes the trajectory of your life. It just does.
That’s why I don’t like the term "trust" your gut.
It’s not about trust. You KNOW your gut is right. You’re just scared to go with it.
So join me, Oakley, and two of my friends. I’m taking you on an entertaining and profound tour today.
