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?

How Food Labels Are Lying to You 32:48

for 4 dager siden32:48

32:48

If you’ve ever felt proud for picking the “low fat” yoghurt or choosing the cereal with all green traffic lights… but still found yourself stuck, tired, and not seeing results this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into the world of food labels, and exposing why the traffic light system, calorie counting, and diet food marketing are leading so many women astray. Especially if you're over 40 and noticing that what used to work for weight loss just isn’t cutting it anymore. You’ll learn: Why the traffic light labelling system is deeply flawed (and what it doesn’t show you) The crucial nutrition info most people skip, and what to look for instead Why fat and salt are not the enemies you’ve been led to believe they are How the “calories in vs calories out” model is holding you back What “low fat” and “diet” really mean, and why they often do more harm than good What actually drives fat burning in your 40s and beyond (hint: it’s not restriction) If you’re tired of feeling like you’re doing everything right and still not getting results, this episode will help you see food (and your body) in a completely new way. ✨ Mentioned in this episode: 👉 Download your FREE Fat Loss Fundamentals Guide: https://bit.ly/fatlossafter40 This guide walks you through the key steps to rebuild your metabolism, balance your hormones, and finally lose fat without tracking, calorie counting, or cutting out everything you enjoy. 📩 Love the episode?
