The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

In times of uncertainty, when we need to get unstuck or figure out our next steps, whether personally or professionally, we can all benefit from more clarity. The great news is that we all have access to an inner compass trying to guide us to what's in our best interest—and that is our intuition. In today's enlightening conversation with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, she teaches us about the framework she's created from the icelandic word for intuition, InnSaei. She's the author of a book and documentary by the same name and shares simple but impactful practices we can use today, based on her two plus decades of work in this area. So much to learn from this insightful interview.

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal digital detox journey—what started as a simple two-week break eventually turned into six months away from social media (specifically Instagram). I'm sharing the truth—why Instagram felt addictive and how disconnecting brought me more clarity and creativity.

Many women struggle for years with overwhelm, emotional chaos, chronic stress, catastrophic thinking, and feeling misunderstood—without realizing the root cause could be ADHD. In this episode, Shanna Pearson, founder of Expert ADHD Coaching and a lifelong ADHD advocate, dives into how to recognize the signs, get an accurate diagnosis, and implement practical tools that actually work. She says that "An estimated 50% to 75% of women struggling with ADHD don't even know that they have it." And to make matters worse, when they enter perimenopause and menopause, the systems that used to help them cope, often no longer work. Women are also often misdiagnosed with depression and/or anxiety and prescribed medications that don't help. Perhaps you've helped your child with their ADHD diagnosis and are now wondering if you have it to?
