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?

Influence and Exercise: The Social Media Effect Step into the dynamic world of "Influence and Exercise: The Social Media Effect," a thought-provoking podcast that delves into the intricate relationship between social media, influencers, and exercise through the eyes of Bella, a 17-year-old navigating this interconnected landscape. We embark on a comprehensive exploration of the dual-edged sword social media represents in shaping exercise habits and perceptions. From the pressures of adhering to aesthetic standards—right down to the perfect drink bottle and attire—to the profound impact of positive role models online, this podcast uncovers the nuanced ways social media can both hinder and enhance our motivation to stay active. We tackle the critical question: Are we exercising for health or merely to fit a certain image? Bella's insights offer a fresh perspective on how young people today are influenced by the digital world's omnipresent standards. With a balanced approach, we delve into the positive effects of social media, highlighting how inspirational figures can genuinely encourage healthier lifestyles and foster a supportive fitness community. Moreover, we address the often overlooked negative aspects, such as the daunting experience many face in school physical education, where the ritual of being the last one picked can leave lasting scars on one's self-esteem and relationship with exercise. This podcast isn't just about the challenges; it's a journey to understand how setting boundaries and seeking accurate information can lead to a healthier, more informed approach to fitness. Join us for this crucial conversation about finding balance in a digital age that often values appearance over well-being. Listen in as we dissect, discuss, and discover the complex interplay between social media influences and our exercise routines, guided by Bella's authentic and insightful experiences. | www.when.org.au | Copyright Women's Health Education Network | Need Immediate Help?
