 Is intuition really just a “woo woo” concept, or is there evidence to support it? In this episode of Rewired Woman Podcast, Kat and Mads explore how neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality overlap when it comes to trusting your gut. We talk about what makes intuition different from impulsivity and insight, how the insula and vagus nerve help explain gut feelings, and why women are often better at reading nonverbal cues. We also unpack Dr. Joel Pearson’s SMILE framework for using intuition wisely and reflect on where science stops and spirituality begins. Along the way, you’ll hear personal stories about love, relationships, and even adopting a soul-dog, plus practical ways to strengthen your intuition through mindfulness, journaling, and dancing. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How intuition and impulsivity potentially overlap, especially for people with ADHD The brain regions involved in intuitive knowing (insula, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate) Why the gut–brain connection and vagus nerve make “gut feelings” feel so real The role of intuition in language, communication, and nonverbal decoding The SMILE model and when to trust your gut (and when not to) Spiritual perspectives like ancestral memory, “future memories,” and higher-self guidance These science girlies have come to a verdict. Intuition is not some pie-in-the-sky concept. It is a blend of unconscious pattern recognition, interoception, and emotional evaluation (with a little dash of mysticism if you ask us). Understanding how to harness your intuition can help you make better decisions, deepen relationships, and strengthen your confidence. 💬If you enjoy this episode, subscribe wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with a friend. It helps us grow and reach more women who are ready to rewire their lives with science and soul.
