Jannecke Øinæs was a celebrated child star in Norway during the 1980s and 1990s, with notable roles such as Little Cosette in Les Miserables and Annie in Annie. As an adult, she secured major roles in productions like Hotel Cæsar, Grease, and Little Shop of Horrors.
At the age of 21, Jannecke's life took a dramatic turn. Her dream of becoming a musical star in London was shattered when she developed vocal cord nodules, forcing her to leave musical theatre. This led to a severe depression and a dark period in her life. However, it also marked the beginning of a new path.
Jannecke believed there was a deeper meaning behind her experiences. In 2012, she founded the web series Wisdom From North on YouTube. She began interviewing coaches, mystics, authors, visionaries, and spiritual teachers about the big questions in life: Why are we here? What happens when we die? Is there a deeper meaning to our lives?
When Jannecke launched her podcast, very few were exploring spirituality on YouTube, making her a pioneer in her field. Today, the channel has a substantial following and has garnered millions of views. Wisdom From North now offers memberships, online courses, and education for those experiencing a spiritual awakening, helping them reclaim their power, step confidently into their life purpose, and radiate self-love, so they can share their unique gifts with the world and live a life filled with authenticity, joy, and meaning.
