If you make decisions through intuition or are currently stuck in overthinking, this episode is for you. Most of my decision-making comes from a place of logic but the final word is often what feels right - the intuitive voice inside or signs that keep redirecting us. I share what this looks like, which is very 'woo' for us logical-thinking physicians. On my birthday I had wished for a sign or the next stepping stone to help me move forward in my practice and I got an unexpected gift, clarity. Listen in for some woo entertainment.
