The Real Intelligence Podcast with Jenny Swim
In a world moving toward artificial intelligence, what if you could reclaim your real one?
The Real Intelligence Podcast explores nervous system regulation, intuition, emotional patterns, leadership, and the deeper intelligence that helps us navigate life with clarity and self-trust.
Host Jenny Swim explores how we move from overthinking, burnout, and internal friction toward more natural ways of living, leading, and responding to life.
This is not about optimization or surface-level self-help. It’s about learning to hear yourself clearly again.

23: The Power of Questions: The Subtle Skill That Changes Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore the underestimated power of asking better questions—not just of others, but of ourselves. Whether you're leading a team, navigating a tough conversation, or sitting with your own inner conflict, the way you question matters. We'll explore:
- How to shift from judgment to genuine curiosity,
- Why simple, open-ended questions can be powerful connection tools,
- And what it looks like to tune into the right kind of question for the moment at hand.
This isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about becoming someone who asks the right questions—and in doing so, unlocks insight, connection, and possibility.
Perfect for leaders, coaches, creatives, and anyone ready to bring more intention to how they show up in conversation—with others and within.
