Your gut is a popular refrain these days. I’ve heard it multiple times on different podcasts. It’s catchy. And I think it’s really misguided. What they mean to say is ‘don’t trust your reactions.’ That’s very different. Because your gut is actually a good meter. How do we distinguish, then, and understand when it’s our ..read more

During our initial consult of 15 minutes, she was curt, impatient, rushed and concluded the call at minute 13.
