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?

In this soulful and hilarious conversation, I sit down with content creator, speaker, and menopause advocate Jesse Schewchuk, founder of Modern Muse Media and The Menopause Mission.

What if your healing wasn’t just for you —but for everyone you're connected to? In Part 2 of this heart-opening conversation, I’m back with my bestie and soul sister, Mandy Trapp, and we’re diving even deeper into the messy, magical journey of healing, integration, and leading from embodied truth. Mandy shares how her deepest pain became the doorway to her purpose—how she found her voice, reclaimed her story, became a Vedic Master, and stepped fully into her calling as a teacher, breathwork facilitator, and spiritual guide. We explore the sacred work of telling the truth (even when it’s hard), asking for what we need (hello boundaries), and how the breath can become one of our most powerful tools for transformation. We get into: Why reclaiming your story matters before sharing it with others The difference between pain and suffering—and how to meet both with compassion Mandy’s path to becoming a Vedic Master and Chopra Center teacher Why embodiment is the spiritual work The birth of Lifestyle Meditation How breathwork can support healing across lifetimes (yes, really) Honouring mental health as a sacred priority The power of “breathing for the ones who couldn’t” Why it’s not just about transcendence—but about integration This episode is a powerful reminder that when we choose to heal, we help liberate others too.

What if the pain you’ve been carrying is the key to unlocking your purpose? In this raw and real episode, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Mandy Trapp, for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, healing, and the truth she’s held in silence for decades. Mandy—an internationally recognized meditation and mindfulness expert—shares her story publicly for the first time, opening up about a family secret that shaped her entire childhood.

What happens when your identity is rooted in doing—but life calls you to simply be? In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Dr. Kara Otuomagie—chiropractor, community leader, Ironman athlete, and founder of Kinetic Living, a multidisciplinary health clinic in Edmonton.

This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes your biggest achievements come from the moments you’re forced to sit in discomfort and listen. In this episode, we cover: Kara’s journey from caretaker to chiropractor and entrepreneur The origin story of Kinetic Living and the power of community support How doing an Ironman became a spiritual and personal reckoning Navigating injury and what it taught her about identity The emotional growth that comes from stepping away from toxic relationships What it means to lead quietly, intuitively, and wholeheartedly The joy of reconnecting with your inner child and choosing presence over productivity Connect with Dr. Kara Otuomagie: Website: http://www.kineticliving.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreveryfriday/ https://www.instagram.com/kinetic.living/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkarao/ Connect with Jillian: Join The Joy Club [FREE]: https://jillianschecher.com/thejoyclub/ Website: https://jillianschecher.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianschecher/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyfullivingwithjillianschecher LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillianschecher/ Ready to Practice Joy Daily?
