Fives rely on analysis and clarity, but intuition offers something logic can't: a deeper wisdom that defies explanation.

In this episode, we explore what intuition is, why Fives struggle to trust it, and how embracing it can positively influence our lives. We share our personal experiences with intuition, examine how it's different from emotional decision-making, and discuss unconventional theories that stretch our understanding of time and consciousness.

We also dive into the tension between intuition and logic, the creative insights intuition can unlock, and practical ways Fives can learn to tune in and trust themselves more deeply.
