So I really recommend people clocking when they have an intuition. I keep a note on my phone of these sorts of things, whatever kind of inclination I'm having that day, how I knew it and how it panned out, because then you do actually have some hard data to pull from rather than our very fallible memories and storytelling that we all do.

It's such a great question. And it's a question that I was really interested in pursuing because I became interested in this topic, this question of intuition when I became a mother myself. And I felt I had this stream of kind of non-cognitive knowledge really kicking on in my body in this meaningful way. So I did want to find out about women's intuition. And here's what the research shows.

There is a seminal study from the 1980s where they paired mixed groups of people, men and women. They assigned one person to be the boss and another person to be the subordinate. And what they found is that the people who were in the position of power did not have to have any awareness or empathy or intuition around their subordinate.

The subordinate, however, had a heightened awareness about the boss, about what was going on with them, about what they were saying, thinking, feeling.

So what that study has shown is that, quote unquote, women's intuition is really more about positionality and about people who are marginalized and have to have more of an awareness of the dominant group do tend to notice and exhibit more intuition toward that group than people who do not have to have that awareness.

Let me give you an example. A friend had a 40th birthday party a few years back, and the party was just this amazing girls trip. We were going to fly to Milan, take the red eye, and then rent a car and drive up to the mountains to wine country to go to this wine festival. This is so dreamy. However...

Prior to this trip, I was having horrible nightmares about the car careening off the road, about doom and disaster. And I was feeling really some very, very... aroused very high level fear around this trip. Now, if I had not been thinking very deeply about intuition, it would have been really easy for me to say, my intuition says don't go on this trip.

I'm just having a really bad gut feeling that something bad is going to happen on this trip. But what I did was I stopped and took a deep breath and tried to really examine what this fear was. Well, the fact of the matter is I was anxious because I was going with people I didn't know very well. I was anxious because I was in a car accident years ago.
