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?

Listen to an audio version of Nicole Walters' "What Strong Women Do" post at The Mudroom . " I’ve always prided myself on being part of a line of strong women. It wasn’t until I was a young working mom myself, wracked with anxiety brought on by all the things I believed I should be doing but couldn’t manage, that I realized a weakness I inherited, too. The waters of all the expectations I placed on myself were rising higher than I could swim. I was going under. When I started admitting my feelings of failure, the women around me echoed back my anxiety. “Why can’t we do it all?” we said. We all felt weak, believing the strength of a woman meant being all the things to all the people all the time. My mom admitted the disquiet she lived with as well. She never let us see it as children, but she struggled to keep her head above water, too. When I looked at her as a real person and not just Supermom, I saw the crack in the facade, the weak place I’d missed before: her inability to rest."…

Our guest at The Mudroom today is Tammy Perlmutter, Founder and Curator of this space, and--among so many other things--our resident expert on longing. Tammy’s journey is a mixture of heartbreak and hope--including childhood abuse--so we want to issue a trigger warning here. But, as Tammy expresses here, there is also God’s beautiful redemption arc--and for her, it’s made all the difference. Enter in with us as we parallel pieces of the Christmas story in the early chapters of Luke, from Elizabeth’s longing for one child to the prophetess Anna’s joy over beholding another --the Messiah--at his temple dedication. And his mother Mary’s contemplation of it all. There’s no one else I know who embodies all of these longings as Tammy does--or who more clearly follows its leading to Him. Lean in now for her incredible story . . . References: "I felt a mother-want about the world, And still went seeking, like a bleating lamb Left out at night, in shutting up the fold,– As restless as a nest-deserted bird Grown chill through something being away, though what It knows not." Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh , 1864 “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthy pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. ... I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and help others to do the same."
