## Resource

What if intuition isn’t a feeling… but a form of deep inner knowing? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Brandon Nappi , a teacher at Yale Divinity School , for a grounded, refreshing conversation that bridges spirituality, mysticism, psychology, and self-trust—without bypassing reality or common sense. In this episode, we talk about: Dr. Nappi’s journey and what led him to teaching at Yale Divinity Why spirituality, religion, and mysticism feel threatening to so many people How to explore the divine without losing discernment or grounding The difference between spirituality, intuition, and inner self-confidence Why intuition is not emotion—and how to tell the difference The five lies that block intuition Simple reframes for perfectionism and imposter syndrome What to remember when you’re struggling to believe in yourself How inner self-confidence differs from external confidence Where to find Dr. Nappi and continue learning from his work This episode is for you if you’re craving depth without dogma, spirituality without bypassing, and confidence that comes from self-trust—not performance.
