Brain Breeze #3: Grandma's Buttons

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?

Brain Breeze Special: Bloody Spokes (Rachel's Movie) 1:23:36

5 years ago1:23:36

1:23:36

Rachel's movie idea gets outlined... Brain Breeze style! Introducing Bloody Spokes - a unique cinematic experience for our time! It's a tale of gender role reversal as a girl's bicycle gang in the 1950's deals with the universal themes of love and crime, brawls and blood, music and mayhem! And don't forget the ever present threat of global nuclear annihilation! The Bloody Spokes is a gang from the wrong side of the tracks who would sooner slash your tires than give you the time of day! But we think you'll make the trip to the bad side of town for this feast for both the eyes and ears! Rachel has pretty much already planned out the soundtrack, hoping to include several local artists (such as Pharoin, among others), and is typing up the script as we speak. So don't be a square!

"I wanted to say no to Ray and Jay's all new, all animal, film noir Brain Breeze, but that raccoon had gams that went all the way up to her neck, I tell ya, and i just couldn't say no." -- you (if you're honest with yourself) Now listen up, toots. Are you ready for a black and white film noir cast with all different types of animals the way God and your mother intended? Then buckle up, sweetheart, cause this one's gonna knock yer socks off! We got Barry the skunk as a hard-boiled private dick on the case. We got Rebecca (Didi) Raccoon as the fabulous femme fatale! We got cops on the take, tiger gangs, lion gangs, wild catnip addicts who'd do anything for a fix! We got gams! Oh my God, the gams! Don't get me started on the gams! And... what was i talking about? Oh yeah - trouble. Trouble with a capital T! They're all of 'em in it... right up to (hand up to our necks)... HERE!!! Dun dun DUN!!! P.S. - apologies for the sound quality for the first 39 minutes or so. It does get corrected. P.P.S. - "If I was into skunks, you'd be MY skunk... Oh, Barry... you're quite a stinker." -- Rebecca…

Remember that time Tupac Shakur was in the Velvet Underground? No, wait, I mean the Digital Underground with Humpty Hump, and the fly girls danced on that gross judge who squirted mustard on stadium dogs from a toy train? Of course you do. Witness Dan Ackroyd's magnum opus about that one time he got pulled over by the police, except it's not boring. Also includes: giant demon babies playing poker with Demi Moore as they are surrounded by highly explosive DOOM! barrels. And I didn't even mention Chevy Chase engaged to marry John Candy as the band chants "Tie the knot, Tie Tie Tie the knot!" ad nauseaum. How can anyone pass up this tune as their wedding reaches its crescendo? I'll never know!…
