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?

Last episode of Season 1

We were back after a four-month break! Amy joined me as my permanent co-host for what we hoped would be a new format. However, we never recorded it again. Too much life and illness getting in the way. Join us one last time as we draw for several prizes and talk about upcoming goodies in the shop!

Double the Pleasure

Since I had so much to talk about, it is close to an hour long instead of the usual 20-30 minutes. Hence the name “Double the Pleasure”. That’s what happens when you don’t record for almost three weeks! Too much to talk about!! Long tail provisional cast on tutorial will also be posted under the Tutorials Tab. Enjoy!

Carolyn the Red-nosed Podcaster

12 years ago

—

The red is from allergies, not drinking, though I definitely think the drinking would be more fun! I am SO unorganized this week, but I have two FO’s and a bittersweet new WIP to show you. I will have better notes, and the cool Ravelry pages in the episode thing, again next time. I am going to discontinue the fitness segment until mid-June. I watched the documentary “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” with Joe Cross at the recommendation of ploverbird and I found it incredibly inspiring. However, the whole idea of a 60-day juice fast is also very controversial (I am not doing a 60-day fast, just saying!) so I don’t think that what Joe has to say is for everyone. I am going to be trying some of his ideas and I will be documenting my progress on this journey to share with you all at the end. I just don’t want it to be mixed in with the podcast.…
