Taylor Swift said it best on her The Life of a Showgirl album when she sang “And my advice is always answer the question – Better that than to ask it all your life” in Ruin the Friendship. That one line hit Laura like a lightning bolt. It’s simple, but it’s everything.

In this week’s One Card Shy podcast episode, we talk about intuition tips and why your soul actually wants you to answer the question.

Why “Answer the Question” Hits So Deep

When Taylor says “answer the question,” she’s not just talking about a kiss — she’s pointing to that moment we all hit, when your heart already knows and your head hesitates. Ruin the Friendship captures it perfectly: the what-ifs, the missed timing, the reasons it’s “not convenient.” It’s the energy every nudge we ignore because it doesn’t fit our “plan”.

The longer we sit in the should I or shouldn’t I, the more stuck we become. There’s no forward movement. Nothing shifts. We stay frozen in the loop instead of taking the step that could change things or help us move past the question.

This episode keeps circling back to Taylor Swift’s line—answer the question—because if you’re asking it, some part of you wants the answer.

What Your Soul and Higher Self Want You to Know

Your soul isn’t grading you on right or wrong; it just wants motion. Every time you act, you create a new experience—and that’s how your soul learns. When you stay in overthinking mode, everything stalls. You stop learning. You stop feeling. You lose flow.

Once you practice it, your life starts to run on a different rhythm. You make decisions faster. You second-guess less. And you feel lighter because you’re not dragging every choice through the mental mud.
