You Have a Secret Advantage (That Might Surprise You)

Aug 13, 2025

Dear Beloved Friend,

Have you ever felt “not smart enough”, even though you know you’re capable, creative, and deeply human?

Maybe someone once told you your worth comes from grades, credentials, or how quickly you can find the “right” answer.
Maybe you’ve been running to keep up… with other people, with technology, even with AI.

This week on The Timing Effect Podcast, we’re talking about what intelligence really is and why your mind is only one part of the story.

Because here’s the truth: you don’t just have one brain.
You have three: the mind, the heart, and the gut.
And when they work together, you have access to an advantage no machine can match.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

🌿 Why mental intelligence has been overvalued (and what’s been missing)
🌿 How emotional and instinctive intelligence can save you from “smart” mistakes
🌿 The unexpected human edge AI will never have
🌿 Simple ways to create harmony between your head, heart, and gut

We also share some of our own stories, from being told we were “too smart” for what we loved, to navigating learning differences no one spotted until adulthood and how we both found our way back to using all of our intelligence.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, compared yourself, or felt the pressure to “keep up,” this conversation will remind you:
You are already enough.
You are already intelligent.
And you have gifts no machine can touch. ❤️

With love and timing,
Matt & Joy
