Intuition 101 with Shashonna French

Intuition is such a fascinating topic! Scientifically, we know so little about it!! We hear people say, "follow your gut", "mother's intuition knows best", but our society really doesn't reflect back to us that following our intuition is best. With all this easy online access to outside sources, who needs their intuition for decision making?!And, like so many things, the less you use your intuition the quieter it becomes. So now, for some people, those outside sources ARE actually needed for their basic decision making. This is especially true of women's health care! Reproduction, pregnancy, birth and mothering have been largely taken out of women's hands and put into those considered to be professionals in the care of women and their babies. I'm not too proud to call myself out on the fact that I have a lot rigidity in my opinion of women health care in the medical system, and its this exact reason why I love this conversation with Shonanna so much! Because she helps me soften my rigidity around this topic (which was a unexpected surprise!)! Which is why I do this podcast, to love more and to learn more! In addition to all that, she and I also discuss:

her religious up bringing
Why she doesn’t resonate with the title “psychic”
Her quote “if you want to feel alive, feel uncomfortable “
What is intuition exactly?
The role that science plays in intuition and in life in general.
Intuition for entrepreneurs.
What intuition feels like especially during pregnancy.
When it’s easiest to hear your intuition.
The Mechanics of intuition.
Practices and simple tools to help hone our intuition.
The history of humans and Intuition and when we stopped trusting it.
“Mom Intuition”
Using intro guide you through birth.
Do women have stronger intuition then men?
Profound experiences which can awaken intuition.
Being empathic and how that compares to intuition.
How to use the gift of empathy.
