Episode Synopsis

What if the pressure to reinvent yourself every January is actually pulling you further away from who you already are? In this episode of StarrCast Podcast, host Lisa Starr sits down with Jennifer Walsh to explore why remembering your natural intelligence matters more than optimizing your life, your body, or your productivity. Together, they unpack how presence, ancestral wisdom, and human connection offer a more sustainable path to wellbeing in an increasingly artificial world. What You'll Learn: Why the "new year, new you" mindset can create unnecessary guilt and burnout How natural intelligence differs from artificial intelligence and why it matters now The role of quiet, stillness, and sensory awareness in restoring mental clarity How journaling, walking, and embodied practices support emotional resilience Why biohacking and constant measurement can disconnect us from bodily intuition Episode Highlights: 04:10 – Why "new year, new you" assumes something is broken 10:45 – Consumer wellness vs. inner understanding 18:30 – Reclaiming ancestral intelligence and bodily intuition 27:05 – Quiet as a practice in a noisy, digital world 38:20 – Grief, journaling, and the power of honest reflection 49:10 – Biohacking vs. bio-remembering 57:40 – How wellness and hospitality can restore humanity Meet the Guest: Jennifer Walsh is the founder and Creative Director of the Lost Art of Being Human Lab. A longtime wellness entrepreneur, author, and speaker, she has spent decades exploring biophilic living, human connection, and what it means to live well in a technology-driven world. Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned: Natural intelligence Ancestral intelligence and embodied awareness Journaling as a reflective practice Walking and sensory immersion Mindful technology boundaries Closing Insight: "Wellness isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering who you are." This conversation invites listeners to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the intelligence already within them.
