Judgment or Discernment? Here’s How to Tell.

Dear Beloved Friend,

You know that feeling when something just doesn’t sit right?

It’s subtle. Quiet. It doesn’t come with a spreadsheet of evidence.
But it’s there, whispering in your gut, tugging at your heart.

And almost immediately, the second-guessing begins:

“Am I being too judgmental?”
“Maybe I’m just scared.”
“Who am I to trust this?”

This week on The Timing Effect Podcast, we’re talking about discernment. The sacred, often misunderstood wisdom that helps you make aligned decisions… even when it doesn’t make logical sense.

In this episode, we explore:

🌿 The real difference between judgment and discernment
🌿 Why ignoring your “no” can create unnecessary detours
🌿 How discernment evolves as we mature emotionally and spiritually
🌿 Why listening to your inner knowing doesn’t make you harsh

We also share some of our favorite personal stories, from Matt’s almost-career as a WWE writer to Joy’s powerful moment of clarity that helped protect her son from an industry path that didn’t feel right.

If you’ve ever stayed quiet to avoid rocking the boat…
If you’ve doubted yourself because you didn’t want to seem negative or “less spiritual”…
This conversation is for you.

Discernment isn’t judgment (and we break down exactly why).

With love and timing,
Matt & Joy
