What does it really mean to trust your gut—especially in high-stakes environments where every second counts and lives are on the line?

In this episode, ILA Radio welcomes Jenn Johnson, author and critical care nurse, who has spent years navigating life-or-death moments guided by both rigorous training and something less tangible: intuition.

From working with energy in the ER to witnessing the rise of AI, Jenn brings grounded insight, surprising science, and a deep reverence for connecting with the body.

We talk about:

– What intuition actually feels like in real-time

– The two steps anyone can take to begin practicing intuition

– Why it’s time we teach intuition alongside intellect in schools and hospitals

– How AI is being trained to "listen" to the same signs our bodies already know

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt something before they could explain it, who’s learning to listen more closely to their body, or who’s wondering how the wisdom of the gut might guide us in an age of information overload.

🎧 Listen in and remember: the body knows—sometimes before the mind can catch up.
