In this unscripted and deeply grounded conversation, Kaye sits with Ian Russell to explore intuition, nervous system regulation, and inner power — and how these capacities are developed and applied in high-pressure environments.

Ian shares his journey from growing up in Scotland and training as a forensic psychiatric nurse in London, to migrating to Australia and retraining in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Along the way, intuition was not a mystical concept, but a necessary skill for survival, clarity, and self-regulation in challenging and volatile environments.

Together, Kaye and Ian explore:
Why intuition and inner wisdom are natural human capacities, not rare gifts
How high-stress environments shape or suppress intuitive intelligence
The impact of modern psychiatric systems on nervous system overload and staff wellbeing
Practical nervous system regulation through movement, breath, and patterning
Rites of passage, initiation, and the role of storytelling in building resilient neurology
Indigenous wisdom and cultural memory as foundations for inner strength
Qigong, martial arts, meditation, and internal power as a continuous energetic spectrum
Why intention alone is not enough — and how repetition builds the neural pathways required for real change

This episode bridges Indigenous knowledge, Eastern philosophy, modern neuroscience, and lived experience, offering grounded insight for leaders, practitioners, and anyone navigating pressure while seeking clarity, steadiness, and connection to their inner voice of knowing.
