Ep. 51 - Social Media Detox & Simplicity
At the end of 2021, I decided to go one week without social media. Here are 5 observations I've made and how we can all bring some of these lessons into our daily lives and enjoy the ride a bit more. Let's make 2022 shockingly simple!
Ep. 50 - Should I Stay or Should I Go?
When it comes to your job, your partner or the place where you live, there sometimes comes a breaking point when you ask yourself: Should I stay or should I go? Is this right for me? Would I be happier somewhere else? In this episode, I explore 3 unusual questions you can ask yourself to help you make a decision.
Ep. 49 - High-Quality Selfishness
Selfishness has a bad reputation and I want to change that, because I believe that being selfish (a.k.a. doing more of what we really want) allows us to offer a much higher quality of selflessness. If everyone prioritized the filling up of their cup, we would bring a completely different energy to the world. In this episode, I explore how to put your desire for freedom first, and why this can change the world.
Ep. 48 - Feeling Guilty
Guilt is a feeling that gets in the way of too many dreams, especially women's. Imagine what you would you be able to create in your life if you could put yourself first more often without being consumed by guilt! In this episode, I explore ways to pursue what you most want in life without letting guilt slow you down.
Ep. 47 - Reflecting on 2021
In this very personal episode, I answer 15 questions to look back on the year and share my biggest challenges, most important breakthroughs and favorite books with you. I encourage you to grab your journal, make some tea and do the same. Cheers to another year of podcasts and growth!
Ep. 46 - Stay Focused & Finish What You Start
You are all multi passionate creative nerds who can come up with ideas quite easily - but when it comes to sticking to a project and seeing it through without losing steam? That's a whole other challenge! There are just so many interesting things you could be doing! Alas, you can't do it all at the same time. In this episodes, I give you 3 ways to make sure you stay focused on what excites you so you can finish what you start and feel proud of yourself.
Ep. 45 - How to Accept That Life Sucks Sometimes
Life totally sucks sometimes, and accepting that simple fact can make the journey easier. In this episode, I tell you why there is no point beating yourself up for feeling shitty and how your suffering can actually contribute to your growth.
Ep. 44 - Setting Boundaries Sets You Free
It's never too late to set new boundaries, no matter how long you have been in a relationship with someone. This will feel counterintuitive at first, but eventually will set you free and allow you to be truer to yourself as well as a more patient and loving partner, friend or colleague.
Ep. 43 - Unsolicited Advice
When a loved one is unhappy with their life, it's easy to barge in with our strong opinions about what they should do to feel good again. If only they would follow our advice, everything would be so much better, right?! But that's not how relationships work... and we can fall into a trap of endless frustration if we expect others to do as we tell them.
Ep. 42 - The Energy Behind Your Actions
We take action to improve our lives or achieve our goals, but sometimes the results don't seem to follow no matter how much effort we put in. So we try something else - like a new routine or another software... But too often forget to question the energy that fuels our actions, and I think that's where we get stuck. In this episode, I explore how the same action can lead to better results by changing our underlying thoughts and feelings.
Ep. 41 - Show Your Mess, It's The Best - with Gail Muller
"You can't have a new life while sitting in your old life." In this episode, Gail Muller and I talk about hanging out on the edge of our comfort zone, taking mini leaps towards our dreams and giving ourselves the permission to change our minds at all times. This one is full of laughter, British expressions and stories from her time on the Appalachian Trail and Continental Divide Trail. Gail is wise beyond her years!
Ep. 40 - Making Decisions for YOU (and no one else!)
This is a short personal one about how challenging and liberating it is to make decisions for ourselves, despite other people's thoughts, opinions and judgements. If you want to feel content and confident about your life choices, listen to this.
Ep. 39 - Believe It's Possible Without Evidence
Letting yourself shine is a challenge when the people around you are keeping themselves small. Just like dreaming, big feels impossible or even dangerous when you've been told you cannot be or do something all your life. What if you were born to be a trail blazer? What if you are meant to be the first in your family, in your circle of friends or in your work place to do things differently?
Ep. 38 - How to Listen to Your Inner Voice
Your inner voice (or intuition, heart, soul) keeps trying to guide you towards a more joyful life... but we have forgotten how to listen and don't have to tools to deal with the discomfort of actually following its guidance. In this episode, I explore how to quiet your racing mind so you can hear your deepest desires and discuss what it means to take action from that place.
BONUS episode: How to feel more motivated
If you are stuck at zero motivation and "positive thinking" has not worked for you, listen to this bonus episode to learn the 3 surface solutions that will NOT help you feel motivated in the long-term and what will be much more powerful instead.
Ep. 37 - Dealing with Fear of Failure or Criticism
How often do you keep yourself from doing or saying something because you're afraid of how people will react? In this episode, I explore how you can follow your dreams without letting your fears of offending, being judged or feeling embarrassed get in the way of achieving success. At the end of the day, fear is very often a sign that you are growing in the right direction.
Ep. 36 - Just Decide To Go All In - with Allison Boyle
Outdoor adventure is a unique opportunity for personal growth and what we learn in the wilderness can empower us in our "real life." In this episode, Allison Boyle and I explore how to find fulfillment and freedom by going towards what scares us and committing fully, no matter our uncomfortable we might feel. Allison is a backpacking coach for adventure-seeking women and creator of the Backpacking Badass program.

Ep. 35 - Stepping Outside Your Emotional Comfort Zone
Creating a more epic and fulfilling life isn't just about going on more adventures - but also about being able to move through emotional discomfort to see what's on the other side. How would you blow your own mind if you could feel all of your feelings? These are the questions I bring up in this week's episode.
Ep. 34 - Changing Jobs Won't Make You Happier
Hopping from one job or career to another as a way to find more happiness is a popular strategy with very disappointing results. Once the novelty of change wears off, you are often left with a new kind of dissatisfaction. If you don't treat the problem at the source, you'll exhaust yourself trying to chase something that doesn't exist. Listen to this week's episode to learn how to generate fulfilment whatever job you are in.
Ep. 33 - How to Settle Down Without Getting Bored
For many of us, there's a desire to settle down that becomes stronger at some point in our life and feels contradictory to our multi passionate and adventurous nature. I believe that this need for security and for foundations that will support you in the future CAN 100% COEXIST with your need for flexibility, meaning and fulfillment. I explain why in this episode.
