feelgoodery
Hey friend - my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

Why Intuition Might Be Your Superpower (And How to Train It) with Elizabeth Greenwood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is it intuition, or is it anxiety? It can be REAL hard to tell the difference sometimes.
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking what intuition actually is, how it works in the brain and the body, and how to tell the difference between your inner voice… and your inner chaos.
I’m joined by author Elizabeth Greenwood, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, GQ and more, and whose new book Everyday Intuition explores what science, psychology and even psychics can teach us about trusting ourselves.
Together, we explore:
✔️ What intuition actually is (and why you already have it)
✔️ The key difference between intuition and anxiety
✔️ Why your body plays a bigger role in intuition than you think
✔️ How to spot when you’re being an “unreliable narrator”
✔️ The HALT rule (and why it can save you from bad decisions)
✔️ Why intuition works best when you feel safe, not stressed
✔️ How power dynamics shape who becomes more intuitive
✔️ Why you shouldn’t wait for big life decisions to start trusting your gut
✔️ Simple, everyday ways to build your intuition like a muscle
