In this soul-stirring episode of the Sparks of Gratitude podcast, we welcome Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir—an Icelandic author, filmmaker, speaker, and visionary behind InnSæi, the global movement and documentary exploring the deep power of intuition. With a career spanning over 30 diverse roles—from UN leader in post-war Kosovo to poet and activist—Hrund shares her deeply personal story of burnout, healing, and how reconnecting with the "sea within" transformed her life and mission.
Together, they dive into the intersections of trauma, intuition, nature, and the urgent need to reclaim our inner wisdom in a hyper-rational world.
🔥 You’ll learn:
✔️ What InnSæi really means—and why it matters now more than ever
✔️ How to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and intuitive intelligence
✔️ Why trauma, when processed, becomes a gateway to growth
✔️ How gratitude and presence can rewire your perspective—and your future
✔️ The role of nature and co-regulation in emotional healing
Whether you’re navigating change, burnout, or simply seeking deeper clarity—this episode offers both poetic insight and grounded guidance for the journey within.
