Ever had that moment when logic says one thing, but your gut says another? In this Spark Short, hosts Michele Dempsey and Liz Graham dive into the art (and challenge) of trusting your gut.

Michele shares a raw, real-life story about a moment when her intuition told her to pause even though logic said, “Go.” It’s a story about slowing down, listening to your inner wisdom, and realizing that sometimes your gut knows before your brain does.

Liz reflects on her own early-career moment of courage when she stood up for herself and learned the powerful link between self-worth and intuition.

If you’ve ever second-guessed that inner voice or wondered whether intuition really gets stronger with age and experience, this Spark Short will remind you: the gut rarely lies — you just have to quiet the noise long enough to hear it.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why trusting your gut can feel uncomfortable and why that’s okay
• How intuition strengthens with experience
• The difference between fear and instinct
• How standing up for yourself can start with a “gut moment”
• Why listening to your inner voice often leads to the right decision (even when it doesn’t make sense on paper)
