We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

At last, Ana and Kendrah are back to talking Canadian crime. This time they are discussing a very Lifetime-esque Canadian Thriller, Savage Messiah (2002), and it's all too real inspiration, Roch Theriault and his cult, The Ant Hill Kids. This one is not for the faint of heart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
Since prep for some of the next episodes is taking a little longer than expected, this episode consists of Ana and Kendrah quizzing each other on horror movies and true crime. Enjoy.

Today's episode is a very special episode. We are covering the Dark comedy thriller TV show, (not the first time we've talked about a TV show.) Baby Reindeer that centers around Richard Gadd and a very traumatizing series of events in his life. Gadd writes, stars, and is the real life inspiration for the show, and the drama surrounding him and the show continues to unfold. Join us as we try to unravel fact from fiction. CONTENT WARNING: Normally we don't do content warnings bc True crime and horror both tend to delve into taboo and trigger topics, however, Baby Reindeer discusses.... A LOT. So CW for sexual violence and assault, stalking, hate crimes, and male rape. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
