"You can turn your poison into your purpose." This was one of the many teachings from my yoga teacher training. On March 25th, 2012 I went through what I would consider the hardest day of my anxiety journey (I will never ever forget it). It was the day the poison was the most potent. That day and that experience is what started my yoga journey - I started going to ease the anxiety, to heal myself. On March 25th 2022, exactly 10 years later to the day, I became a yoga instructor. Not a day before...

Feeling inadequate, not included, or purposeless usually makes us ask why we are like this or make the choices we make. The problem with asking "why" is an endless path. We'll discover we react in a certain way because we were conditioned to, and then we'll ask why those who conditioned us did it, which will lead to answering another why, and then another, and another. Instead, we should look at what is not serving us and think of how we could do those things differently. Today, Ewa Josefsson jo...

Since this thousand miles journey started almost three years ago, I've never stopped learning. The show's concept changed in its essence, and the answer I thought I was looking for evolved. I discovered that the element that pushes us out of bed every morning is active because it is an active search for our truth and also because it is actively working on itself. Today, we explore the 10 most impactful takeaways I've learned throughout my podcasting experience. We talk about the life-changing sk...

Being an accepted member of a group, also known as belongingness, is a human emotional need. It is also considered a significant source of motivation and one of Maslow's five human needs. However, when the necessity of acceptance intersects with the fear of suffering rejection, it can severely affect our growth and evolution. In this episode, we talk about what I feel is one of the cornerstones of growth: releasing what others think about us. We explore the "Rebecca Minkoff mindset," how powerfu...

I've realized that consistency is the most potent fuel we can use to propel our self-discovery and personal growth journey. Some time ago, I started asking myself a couple of questions before starting my day, basically to ensure my actions would feel in alignment with my true self. Throughout the years, I refined that practice into asking myself the three questions that turned into my North Star in my quest of living a fulfilling life. Today, we delve into the three questions I ask myself to hel...

After a severe head injury that compromised the parts of the brain responsible for processing language and social interactions, Ben Easter found himself in a tough spot. Like every other human, he strived for connection and belonging, which the consequences of his accident were clearly making more difficult. Ben devoted his entire being to achieve a fast recovery, and within 6 months, he was already on his feet and, (according to him), fully recovered. But he wasn't; he still had issues processi...

The constant bombarding of edited images of unattainable beauty standards has multiple effects. They set the expectations of what beautiful and desirable bodies look like, especially for women. They push millions of people into absurd and unhealthy diets, and, most importantly, they reinforce the idea that we don't know what's good for us. They mine our intuition, and we develop a limiting belief: we will only succeed with external guidance. In this episode, we go through a sensitive topic that ...

We are so used to being constantly entertained that boredom has become almost a bad word or an ancient sensation virtually no one remembers how it felt. We exist in a world where silence is a rarity. We live surrounded by noise, and our society, as a collective, has decided that it is entirely normal to do everything while we consume content. Today, in this solo episode, I take a moment to talk about silence, my relationship with it, how it helped me, and the growth and evolution I've experience...

Still, Jenni's creativity, love for details, innate taste for fashion, and hands-on and gritty personality were already pulling the strings of her destiny. Fast forward some years, Jenni turned her name into an all-encompassing...

I know for me when I first heard of boundaries I thought it meant putting up a wall, closing people off, and being hard to work with or unreasonable when in actuality, it is more about building bridges and getting to a place where everyone’s needs are being met. When working with someone, we are dealing with two different sets of expectations; setting boundaries then becomes more about being flexible enough to make those expectations met than building a barrier between us. Today’s guest is Karle...
