  Access Your Intuition Through Outdoor Intelligence - The August Refresh, Archive Episode

  Aug 16, 202629 min

  Part of the August 2026 Refresh Series. We know that getting outside does us good. But outdoor intelligence - the idea that we actually think, see and know more when we're in nature - goes a step further than that. In this episode, Maya is joined by Fi Macmillan, coach and adventurer, to explore what outdoor intelligence actually is and how it differs from simply going for a walk. By the end of the conversation, they co-create an equation that sums it up neatly: nature + walking = deep work + intuition. What you'll learn: How to start accessing outdoor intelligence Three simple practices to help you reconnect with your intuition through time outside You can connect with Fi Macmillan at https://www.linkedin.com/in/fi-macmillan/ As usual, connect with Maya at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayagudka/ And subscribe to her YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MayaGudka?sub_confirmation=1 For all other info, visit the website www.mayagudka.com

  Aug 2, 202618 min
