Questioning the Narrative and Trusting Your Intuition

Stephen Bartlett shares his natural inclination to question societal narratives and trust his own intuition rather than blindly accepting what he was told. Growing up in challenging circumstances, he developed a belief in his own potential and refused to let external factors define him. He encourages listeners to challenge societal norms and question what they have been conditioned to believe. Steven emphasizes the importance of tuning into your own feelings and intuitions and using them as a guide in decision-making, rather than relying solely on external sources for answers.
