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?

Rick and Monique Elgersma have for 30 years been partners in life and partners in business. Since 2015 they have been co-therapy specialists. They’ve experienced ups and downs like any couple and sought counseling. They noted the difficulty of both of them feeling heard, understood, and respected at the same time! Alas, Co-Therapy was born. Rick and Monique share the reason they have chosen to own a practice built using co-therapy, the practicalities like scheduling and billing and how to maintain a healthy work-life business when you are married and business partners. Counseling together with clients certainly creates balance in the counseling room and reduces bias. Co-Therapy makes certain that no one will get ganged up on or feel left out of the counseling process. And, Co-Therapy is more creative and collaborative, a true “round table” equality-driven effort in the counseling room. Three years ago they added the enneagram to their efforts for clients, and have since become enneagram experts and coaches.

Erin Coram, LMFT shares her professional and lived experience in helping survivors of intimate partner abuse/violence. Erin discusses misinformation, what to look for in the therapy room and the long-term impacts to health. Erin is a licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of a group practice in Indiana. Erin has been in practice for over 20 years beginning her career in Community Mental health, then becoming a clinical director of a residential facility community outreach for at-risk adolescents. Erin then launched her private practice Indiana Family Therapy Center, Inc. in 2008. In 2020, Erin teamed up with her business partner to open another group practice, Voyage Counseling, LLC. Erin also works with an adoption agency supervising the completion of home evaluations for adoption. In 2022, Erin launched Embrace for Impact, LLC where she provides coaching, consulting, community groups, retreats and speaking engagements. Embrace for Impact was born out of a passion for entrepreneurial healers and therapists with their own trauma stories. After a personal journey of owning her story of abuse and violence in her previous intimate relationship, she recognized the need for a place where healers can step out of the shame of secrecy of abuse and into the light of the strength within that it took to survive. During this journey, she also discovered the high correlation between trauma and chronic illness and the additional complexity of treatment needs when trauma meets physical illness or injury. As a type 1 diabetic who suffered extensive physical injury from assault requiring multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, she is passionate about educating our mental health and medical professionals about the complexity of working with victims/survivors of intimate partner violence and trauma. These patients require patience, humanity, authenticity, safety and agency at the highest level to reduce the risk of re-traumatization/revictimization through medical interventions. Erin empowers therapists to step into and own their stories and embrace their beautiful kaleidoscope of trauma and resilience to amplify their impact on the world. Being a therapist and a survivor of intimate partner violence does not make you a fraud or incompetent, it makes you human and capable of connecting in a very attuned way. Erin is a member of and a fierce advocate of the LGBTQ community. Erin is also a mother of two, a wife and a chronic illness warrior. Erin believes that it is through the owning and sharing of our own pain and healing journeys and the connections we make with others that we can have a profound impact on the world.
