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?

When midnight comes, I will not run Into the arms of my regrets, Nor will I fear the pain of wounds That have not scathed me yet. I will stand upon the border Of this year and the next, And say farewell with open hands And a whispered thankfulness. When midnight comes, I will not tie A burden round my neck, Nor weigh down my soul with resolutions To validate my breath. Instead, I’ll bless this new beginning And who I am becoming, For we are works of art unfinished— A living canvas full of colors Help support and sustain the podcast.

I had the absolute JOY of sitting down with Scott Erickson who's an incredible artist, speaker and creative curate. We covered a lot of ground in our conversation such as navigating an evolving faith, developing a visual language and learning to say yes to our own stories. You've probably seen Scott's incredible art on IG but if not: https://www.instagram.com/scottthepainter Join The Pilgrimage Co www.thepilgrimage.co Intro music by TWICEYOUNG…
The latest conversation to drop is with Zoe Clarke-Coats, who amongst many things is a grief specialist. Aquatinted closely with suffering, she is a guide for us upon the tricky terrain of loss and gives incredibly helpful (and hopeful) language for that which is so hard to speak of.

How do you hold your own when everything around you feels like it's falling down? I chopped it up with my brother Mike McGlynn for the latest instalment in our conversations series. Mike is a husband, a father, pastor and a creative juggernaut. He's got a voice and message that I think our generation need and I'm so happy to share this conversation with you! @michaelmcglynn Join The Pilgrimage Co www.thepilgrimage.co Intro music by TWICEYOUNG…
Yes my friends! Okay, you're in for a treat with this one. I sat down with my friend Ruth Naomi Floyd who is an exceptional songwriter, Jazz composer and singer and the first African American woman to serve as Founding Director of a university jazz program in the United States. We cover a lot of ground in this chat from the power of beauty to the importance of sorrow and the work of Fredrick Douglass. I hope you enjoy and once again, thanks for the support!

I had the honour of (virtually) sitting down with John Mark Mcmillan. Not only a songwriter and lyrical mastermind, but John Mark also seems to speak prophetically into our times, each time his new record drops, with poetic depth and honest care for his listeners. We cover a lot of terrain in this conversation and I can't wait to hear what you think! https://www.johnmarkmcmillan.com Join The Pilgrimage Co - www.thepilgrimage.co Intro music by TWICEYOUNG…
We're talking about resistance, indifference and the fight to become our most authentic self. TRIGGER WARNING: The passage of scripture we explore (2 Samuel: 11) involved reference to sexual abuse.

It is the story of a child who was born a stranger to his father and mother; the story of a magnificent strongman who ceaselessly yearned to win his parents’ love — and, therefore, love in general — which in the end he never received. - David Grossman…
