The University of Life & Amanda Chabonier

What if the life you’ve been building has been powered by someone else’s script? In this episode, we sit down with Crystal Clear to explore a journey that moves from Ashtanga rigor and IFBB stages into a radical experiment with stillness, plant medicine, and deep self-inquiry. The throughline is simple and deeply human: when you stop running, what you actually want can finally find you. We talk about the cost of living on autopilot — and the relief of naming it for what it is: conditioning, ego ...

The University of Life & Crystal Claire

What if the thing you’re chasing isn’t missing at all — you’re just moving too fast to feel it? In this candid, wide-ranging conversation, we journey from years of hardcore Ashtanga and professional bodybuilding into radical stillness: long hours of sitting, letting the inner snow globe settle, and learning to live proactively rather than reactively. We explore the masks we wear to belong, how motivation is really the redirection of desire, and why the most powerful move is often to slow down. W...

The University of Life & Jenna Switzer

A whiff of peppermint sets the tone for a fearless conversation about sex that actually works. We begin by mapping the real motivations behind intimacy — escapism, recreation, connection, and the spiritual — and why friction so often arises when two people arrive in the same bed with different intentions. The shift isn’t a trick or technique; it’s language. When we name the experience we want in this moment , we create safety, integrity, and space for a genuine yes. We also dismantle tired datin...

The University of Life & Jonny Dodge

A business built around freedom shouldn’t chain you to a desk. Jonny Dodge joins us to share how he engineered eight companies around experiences that energise rather than exhaust, from Formula 1 hospitality and global adventures to superyacht brokerage, private jet charter, and even commercial space trips. The common thread isn’t luxury; it’s a deliberate system for living well while scaling impact. We dig into the mechanics: hiring for your weaknesses so you can operate in your zone of vision ...

The University of Life & Bec Mylonas

What if intuition isn’t a soft skill, but the sharpest edge you have? In this episode, I sit down with an “oracle to emperors” to explore how mystic counsel once shaped empires, why patriarchy forced magic underground, and how to reclaim a clear inner signal in a world addicted to noise. This is a journey through history, body, place, and power, and how to realign them without losing your grip on the real. We trace the arc from ancient courts guided by astrologers and oracles to a culture that p...

The University of Life & Sebastian Tiaga

Ever reached a finish line and felt… nothing? In this episode, we open a raw, grounded exploration of what happens when the life you built on performance finally collapses, and why that collapse can become the most important turning point of your life. This is a journey from numbness to embodiment. From leaking energy to living with coherence. From chasing validation to standing in your own signal. Sebastian shares how bullying, shame, and the hunger to prove himself created a hollow drive, and ...

The University of Life & Jaro Cabla

It starts with a simple question: “How are you, really?” What follows is a raw, honest conversation about growth, responsibility, and the quiet cost of success. Our guest built a massive audience as a travel creator, then pivoted into mentorship, now leading a 20-person team. That shift comes with new weight: guiding people, protecting energy, and keeping your voice intact when others help you speak. We explore the difference between being stretched by meaningful work and being drained by misali...

The University of Life & Talia Di Giulio

What if the fastest way to better work… is to slow down and build a stronger family? In this episode I sit with Talia, speaker, guide, and proud “wellness warrior”, to explore how motherhood reshaped her sense of purpose, softened her drive, and deepened her relationship with her body and nervous system. From the vulnerability of a Kambo ceremony to the fierce trust of a home water birth, this conversation unpacks agency, presence, and the village it takes to raise both children and leaders. We ...

The University of Life & Gary Lineham

We begin by breathing together, moving together, syncing. It sounds simple, but it changes everything that follows. When breath and posture align, the nervous system recognises safety, and that’s where real conversation begins. From there, we explore how energy, fascia, and frequency shape connection long before words or chemistry arrive. Why acceptance outperforms control. And how community, at its best, is a biological regulator. We talk about the quiet power of environment: clean food, real r...

The University of Life & Anna Marie Kramer

What if the “safe” life is the very thing keeping your nervous system on high alert? In this episode, I sit down with Annie, a somatic practitioner, breathwork guide, and unapologetic wild soul, to explore how chasing safety, performing for approval, and suppressing truth can trap stress in the body that words alone can’t release. Annie calls trauma what it often is, incomplete stress cycles lodged in the breath, the muscles, and the fascia. The way through isn’t more mindset work, it’s sensatio...

The University of Life & Arja Hendrikx

Tantra, Sensitivity & the Art of Presence Forget the clichés, this isn’t about gimmicks or quick fixes. In this episode, I sit down with Arja to explore Tantra as a grounded, embodied path, one that treats the body as a portal, not a problem. We talk about what it means to live with sensitivity in a world that values speed, and how slowing down can bring more connection, joy, and courage into everyday life. Arja shares how breath, sound, and small movements can reawaken the body’s natural in...

The University of Life & Katie Jonzen AKA Path of Peace

What if rock bottom isn’t a failure, but sacred ground? In this episode, I sit down with Katie, a doula for life transitions, to explore what awakening really looks like when life falls apart. We talk honesty, surrender, and the quiet power of choosing truth over comfort. Katie opens up about her family’s story with suicidality, the moment she chose life, and how she now helps others move through their own death–rebirth cycles without bypassing the pain. We explore why breakdowns often precede b...

The University of Life & Eri Kardos.

What if love isn’t something you promise once, but a practice you return to — again and again? In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Eri Kardos to explore what it really takes to build lasting connection in modern relationships. We talk about trust, triggers, communication, and the courage it takes to grow alongside someone, not just love who they were when you met, but who they’re becoming today. We get into the difference between therapy and coaching, how somatic work helps you m...

The University of Life & Dylan Werner

Tattoos, grief, and the meaning we make from pain, this one goes deep. What starts as a chat about ink turns into something much more personal: identity, loss, and the courage to evolve when life asks you to. Dylan shares the story behind covering old tattoos, and how choosing beauty over biography became a way of honouring both who he was and who he’s becoming. We also talk about grief — the kind that cracks you open — and what it means to find peace, not through explanations, but through prese...
