This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

The Icelandic Art of Intuition with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir | 307


Listen Later

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?
