This episode is inspired by a recent experience I had being invited to a conference when the imposter syndrome showed up. So, in this episode we explore what that means, and what that fear of being found out, of being a fraud despite all the evidence of competence. What is the connection with self-awareness and what can we do to not let ourselves be limited by that feeling of not being good enough anymore. Listen now.

In this episode, I am sharing the story of how our Nala, a rescue dog from Portugal, came into our lives and made us a family. Join me on this journey that is also the continuation of the story of the very first episode - about closing a chapter intentionally and going at my own rhythm - all the while guided by my gut feeling. Listen to this episode that connects the joy of finding our soul dog with the power of intuition. I am also sharing practices that help you ceconnect, listen and trust your intution more.

In this special story time episode, I am sharing my journey of going from loneliness and self-judgement to self-acceptance and self-love. It was in a very difficult moment of lonliness after the end of my first romantic relationship that I had a realization that lead to the question: How do I become a friend to myself? And the willingness to pursue that question has changed my life. Recorded on my 33rd birthday, I am reflecting back on difficult moments and how the growing friendship with myself truly makes all the difference - also for the relationships in my life (Hint: A friendship with yourself is great prevention for co-dependence).

And here is, as promised, a wonderful practice to cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion by Dr. Kristin Neff - the foundations of a meaningful friendship with yourself.

Why do the best moments happen when we allow ourselves to go with the flow? When we are present and say YES to the moment and how it unfolds, we can naturally experience the connection, joy, fulfillment and aliveness we crave so much. This episode is an invitation to reflect on the hamsterwheel of productivity that keeps us busy and distraced, unaware of magic waiting to find you.

This episodes invites you to come as you are, take a breather and slow down. The autumn equinox is one of the harvest festivals and in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the transition from summer to fall. If you have been feeling stressed and exhausted lately, this episode is for you. We reflect on the strain of productivity and find a more authentic and healthy relationship with work and the need to constantly productive. Maybe, resting is an act of rebellion in a society that measures our self worth by how much money we make, how many likes we get, etc.? Maybe, giving ourselves permission to slow down and be more intentional about how we move through our days is actually what we need? What allows us to focus more on the things that are truly important in life?

Health habits - the word alone causes most of us to roll our eyes or groan in frustration. Of course we know how important healthy habits are and yet the gap between knowing and DOING is huge. This is why, in this episode, I share honest and humbling experiences of falling off the healthy-habit-wagon and how I got back on, but with more integrity and above all, from a place of self-love instead of fearful self-improvement.

I share how Yoga with Adriene on Youtube changed my life and I highly recommend you give that a try. If you would like to explore a mindful morning routine, check out my guided morning meditation here.

For most of us, change is messy and scary - but why is that? Might there be a reason for that resistance that is deeply human? And how can we learn to find the courage to befriend change? Because after all, the only constant in Life is change so it might be a good idea to learn to embrace it. I share little stories and reflections that hopefully allow you to find new meaning in the big topic of change.

In this episode, I share my personal story of starting therapy. It is a vulnerable yet conscious choice to share this journey because I believe in the power of storytelling. When we tell our own unique stories, we allow others to find inspiration and meaning for their own lives. So yes, I speak honestly about the fears I felt before starting therapy and I also share many of the benefits I am living thanks to therapy.

We dive into questions like: How to start therapy? How to choose a therapist that fits me? And why to go to therapy in the first place?
