How to Harness the Power of Your Intuition (Using the Icelandic Concept of Innsæi) with Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir


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.
