E133: Accessing Your “Higher Wisdom”

Have you ever noticed that your biggest insights rarely show up when you’re forcing yourself to figure something out? They arrive in the shower, on a walk, in the quiet moments between all the doing. They come when your mind finally slows down enough for something deeper to surface.  In today’s episode of The Inner Edge, Janet explores this “higher wisdom” we all have access to but rarely create space to hear. Drawing from neuroscience, decades of leadership coaching, and personal stories, Janet reveals why relying solely on rational analysis leaves our decisions incomplete and how integrating intuition, stillness, and embodied awareness leads to truer, more aligned choices.  In a world obsessed with speed and productivity, reconnecting with our inner intelligence is not just helpful, it’s essential. In this episode: ✅ Why your deepest insights emerge when you stop overthinking ✅ How leaders limit themselves when they rely only on rational analysis ✅ What neuroscience reveals about intuition and the default mode network ✅ How to create stillness to regulate your nervous system and think more clearly ✅ What your body signals before your mind catches up ✅ The power of stepping away to let unconscious processing work for you About Janet Ioli: Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.
