Most of us in today's world have lost what once was a fairly normal and widespread skill: deciding intuitively. Statistics show that 73% of millenials suffer from decision paralysis and overthinking. And we are longing for that "inner knowing" that we usually see in superhero movies.

To relearn intuition, we need to first understand what it is and what it is not. More often than not, the inner voice gets confused with things like gut feeling, anxiety responses or mental longing.

In this episode, we explore 5 practical ways of accessing intuition. We also learn what an "educated guess" is, why the subconscious mind is a better decision maker than the conscious mind, and how to train your inner guidance system to reveal your next steps with clarity.

What if boredom isn't something to fix, but something to embrace? In this episode, we explore boredom as the essential "corridor" between life's rooms - that uncomfortable but necessary space where we can hear our inner voice and discover what comes next. Learn why boredom is designed to feel agitating, how to surrender to the discomfort instead of rushing to fill it, and why those quiet moments of stillness are where genuine inspiration begins. Discover how to resist the urge to stay busy and instead follow the soft creative sparks that emerge when we allow ourselves to simply be bored.

We all have coping mechanisms to deal with stress or difficult feelings — whether it’s drinking, overeating, or scrolling through social media. Once we realize that coping only soothes the symptoms and doesn’t fix the root problem, it can feel tempting to try and get rid of coping altogether. But the truth is, coping mechanisms are part of being human — and they always have been. In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy and unhealthy coping, and share a simple exercise that can help shift unhelpful patterns and bring us back to a more embodied, connected way of living.
