We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

The 50/50 of Life and the Importance of our Thoughts 55:14

4 years ago55:14

55:14

This episode dives into the concept of the 50/50, explaining that approximately 50% of the time, simply because we are human beings, we are going to experience difficult and uncomfortable times in our lives. And with those times come difficult and uncomfortable emotions... such as anger, frustration, sadness, disappointment, just to name a few.The other 50% of the time, we'll be happier and excited about life and feeling more comfortable emotions such as excitement, joy, inspiration and creativity. If we willingly accept that we will always waver between comfortable and uncomfortable times, we can stop resisting and start feeling all of our heart-breakingly beautiful moments, experiences, and seasons of life...You ve heard the saying WE are what we eat Guess what .the reality is much more WE are what we think! The thoughts that we choose - help us to create our moods, attitudes and beliefs.Often we think it is the Circumstances of our lives that are causing how we are feeling - but in fact it is ALWAYS the THOUGHTS that we have chosen to think around them that are causing our emotions. If there is one big takeaway from today - it is this!!*The secret conversations that you hold in the privacy of your own mind are shaping your destiny, little by little.New research indicates that the average person thinks approximately 60,000 - 80,000 thoughts per day.This is either good or bad news because every thought we have moves us toward our God- given potential OR away from it.…

Or are you living unconsciously in the past? One of the main causes of current problems in our lives is our desire to hang on dearly to our past. It s comfortable - it s what we know. Our past is where all of our current thinking was learned and developed..But being Past-focused prevents us from trying anything new. It inhibits growth, imagination, creativity and stops any kind of dreaming in its tracks! It doesn't allow for deeper AWARENESS and fresh, new deliberate thinking for our futures.When we are present and future-focused, we are taking control of our thinking and deciding how to think intentionally about our future...and I gotta tell you - this is an exciting way to live!!Join me for this podcast where we will learn to find OUR FUTURE SELVES!!…
