Research shows women’s intuition is more powerful than you may realize. Our gut knows more than we do on a conscious level. From meeting someone who makes your skin crawl, to just knowing that it’s not a good day to get in the car and drive across town, our intuition can guide us to safety if we’re willing to let it.
