Summary

What would life feel like if you could reliably tap into your intuition, even when your logic is pulling in another direction? Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir is an Icelandic author, speaker, and creative leader known for popularizing the concept of InnSæi, the Icelandic approach to intuition. She spent years working in international development (including the UN) before shifting into coaching, writing, and teaching how to access inner wisdom. Her book InnSæi: Heal, Revive, and Reset with the Icelandic Art of Intuition draws on psychology, neuroscience, poetry, and cultural insight. In our conversation, Hrund talks about what intuition is and isn’t, and how her InnSæi framework can help us reconnect with it.  We explore how intuition is both real and learnable, and how it can work alongside logic to guide big life choices, including where and how you want to travel. You’ll get practical tools to calm your nervous system, tell the difference between fear and true inner signals, and create space in your day-to-day life to actually hear and trust your intuition. What decision or longing is tugging at you these days, and how can you use your intuition to help guide you? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message. Tune In To Learn: How InnSæi maps to “the sea within,” insight, and seeing from the inside out Hrund’s definition of intuition as the efficient use of unconscious information  When intuition is most reliable and when emotional states might cloud it Two powerful journaling practices to sharpen self-awareness and help decode your inner signals A simple breathing technique to calm your system before a decision How to show up grounded in meetings, creative tasks, and travel decisions How intuition and creativity are intertwined, and how to create structure to channel them Why self‑trust and confidence in your own judgment matter more than any external validation And so much more Resources: Sign up for our FREE newsletter Hrund’s website and book InnSæi course Want More?

Intuition speaks to us, but we're not always ready to act on our intuitions and it's okay, you know, it's okay. Recognize it.
