In this episode of Now I Get It, I explore one of the most dynamic and misunderstood cognitive functions: intuition—specifically, its outward-facing form, known as extroverted intuition or “the brainstormer.” We dive into how this function generates creative options, seeks out new possibilities, and thrives on surprise and novelty. I unpack how this cognitive tool fuels innovation, shapes our personal identities, and even transforms our relationships when it’s nurtured and understood.

I also share personal stories, including how my late wife’s creativity and love for surprise reflected her intuitive strength. We’ll look at how you can activate and strengthen this ability in your own life through reflection, gratitude, and intentional practice. If you've ever wondered why some people constantly bounce with energy and throw out ideas like confetti—or if that's you—this episode will give you language and insight to better understand and honor that spark.

Let’s connect!
