Hi Strands fans. Another puzzle where the theme sent me the wrong way!
When I saw "I just know...", my thoughts immediately turned to gut feelings, and I spent some time looking for the likes of "instinct", "feeling", "hunch" and so on.
Upon failing to find any, I used a clue that revealed MEDIUM, and I realized I'd been barking up the wrong tree.
I then found PSYCHIC running diagonally parallel with it, and spelled out the spangram of SIXTHSENSE in the path between the two answers. TELEPATH was in the top-right corner to complete the side.
That left two answers to find on the other section. I found CLAIRVOYANT at the bottom, with ORACLE above it to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. A bit of a sluggish start to the new year for me, and I found myself struggling with today's puzzle.
That was, until I used a clue to reveal FRESH on the right, when I realized that this was set to be synonyms for "innovative". That helped me get the spangram of BREAKNEWGROUND to split the board in two, and crack the puzzle wide open.
With that division, I was able to find NOVEL and ORIGINAL above FRESH to complete the right-hand side.
After trying to find a double 'N' for "innovative", I realized that the letters at the top of the left-hand side were actually part of INVENTIVE. I then connected SEMINAL below it to complete the puzzle.
