Published: Mon Jan 30 2023
Description
I pride myself on my sense of intuition, but those gut feelings can be easy to ignore especially if you’re like me and like giving people the benefit of the doubt. In this episode I share a story where gaslighting and red flags were ignored until my gut was screaming at me. Sometimes we get too in our heads to listen to that built-in accuracy radar but know that feelings of insecurity are normal, and the right person will work through those feelings with you.
