The Importance of Trusting Your Intuition

Trusting one's intuition can be a vital instinct for self-protection, as evidenced by a personal story shared in the podcast. A listener recounted a high school experience where her gut instinct warned her against giving a ride home to a man she just met, despite a lingering sense of guilt for leaving him behind. Only later did she discover that the man had been charged with multiple crimes, including kidnapping and assault against others. This experience highlights how listening to one's inner voice can lead to safer outcomes and validate the need to prioritize personal safety over social pressure.
