    Ep: 39 Intuition: The Feelings That Guide You

    Join Versa Manos and guests Bill Hoversten and Kimberly Skyrme as they dive deep into what exactly intuition is and why it matters so much to an actor. By knowing this, you can use this to your advantage through your decision making process, learning how to access it, and putting it to use real life! You'll hear insights on: Intuition is real and powerful: It’s not a luxury—it's a survival skill that often communicates before conscious mind processes. Distinguish intuition from fear: One is quiet, repetitive, calm; the other is loud, urgent, reactive. Cultivating intuition requires practice: Pause and breathe before making big choices. Notice how your body responds—tense or open? Write down intuitive insights and reflect on what happened when you followed them. Personal stories reinforce trust: Many breakthroughs—career pivots, creative inspiration, audition wins—stemmed from listening to that quiet guidance. Starting small, builds confidence, even small intuitive nudges (who to call, whether to say yes/finish work) can reinforce your connection to that voice. This episode is a must-listen for any actor ready to ask questions like “what whispers have you ignored?” “what would change if you listened?” Intuition is a quiet and calm inner guide and one should start trusting those small whispers in daily situations.
