When Intuition and RAS Meet Strategy: The Opportunities You’ve Been Missing

A Conversation with Joyce Layman

Have you ever wondered why once you start thinking about something — a new car, a speaking opportunity, or even a business idea — suddenly, you seem to see it everywhere? That’s not a coincidence. It’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work.

In this episode of Intuition Unleashed: A Revolution in Personal Liberation, I sit down with Joyce Layman, speaker, coach, TEDx presenter, and visibility strategist, to explore the powerful intersection of RAS, intuition, and strategy. Together, we dive into how to recognize the nudges, synchronicities, and hidden opportunities that are already around you — and how to align them with strategy so you can finally act.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• RAS explained in plain language — what it is and how it influences your perception.
• Why intuition is more than a hunch — and how to recognize when to trust it.
• How synchronicity works in real life — stories of “impossible” connections and doors opening at the right time.
• The role of strategy — why intuition and synchronicity only create results when paired with practical action.
• How to train your brain to spot opportunities you may have been missing all along.
