JORMAZIN'

What if sharing something that makes you smile could open a new connection - even with someone you've known for years? 😊 In this episode, you'll discover a simple three-minute game to find unexpected common ground. After loving The Strokes for over 20 years, I finally saw them live. I shared my excitement and was surprised when people reached out to say they were fans, too! Suddenly, we had somet...

Have you ever left a job, finished a project, or moved into a new chapter of life - but somehow, part of you was still holding on? Letting go doesn't have to mean forgetting what you're grateful for. In this JORMAZIN' Pause, we explore how to consciously complete a chapter of life, appreciate what it gave us, and create space for what comes next. I share a personal story about a job I left years a...

What if the reason something feels off in midlife isn’t that your whole life is wrong — but that some important parts of you have slowly become too quiet? For more than 20 years in corporate life, I became very good at turning up certain channels: Work. Responsibility. Performance. Solving problems. Getting things done. All valuable. But at some point, I started wondering: What happened to the oth...

What if the reason you don’t know what you want anymore is that you’ve spent so long listening to what you should do that it has become difficult to hear what you actually want? For more than 20 years in corporate life, I became very good at knowing what came next - the next meeting, responsibility, target or problem to solve. At some point, I noticed something uncomfortable: I had become incredib...

What if reinventing yourself is not really about becoming someone new? For more than 20 years in corporate life, I changed roles, companies and systems again and again. And almost every transition gave me another opportunity to reinvent myself. But after recently changing companies once more, something felt different. This time, I did not enter the new system asking: Who do I need to become here?...

If you are stuck in a decision, waiting for clarity, or trying to control what comes next, this conversation is for you. In this episode of JORMAZIN`, I’m joined by Jeffrey Schwab, founder of Uncertain Pathfinders and wonderfully, Chief Possibility Officer. Together, we explore how uncertainty can become less of an enemy and more of a companion. Not because everything becomes easy. But because we...

You’re amazing. I mean it. And maybe part of your amazingness is that you know more than you allow yourself to know. Not in a loud way. Not always in a clear way. Sometimes it starts as a tiny signal. A feeling in your body. A word that appears. A silence that suddenly feels full. A sense that there is something more here. Before you know, you sense. In this Pause, I explore what happens when you...

What if the person you are looking for is not someone you need to become, but someone you need to remember? In this Pause, I explore what changes when we stop treating ourselves like a problem to solve and start meeting ourselves with curiosity again. Because some of the things we call self-knowledge may actually be old stories we have repeated for so long that they started to feel like truth: “I’...

Have you ever been physically present somewhere - but mentally completely elsewhere? In this 10-Minute Pause, I explore one of the most generous things we can offer - to another person, to a moment, and to ourselves: our real attention. Because presence is not about being perfect. It is about returning. In this Pause: Why your body being somewhere does not mean your attention is there too What a t...

Something broke. Maybe a relationship. A dream. A version of yourself you thought would last. And maybe your first instinct was to hide it or move on as fast as possible. In this 10-Minute Pause, I explore Kintsugi - the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold. Not to hide the break. But to honour it. I’m not a ceramics expert. This is my lens, my understanding, and what...

You're amazing. I mean it. Not because everything is perfect but because underneath the noise, the overthinking, and the old patterns, there is something whole in you. But how well do you actually know that person? In this 10-minute Pause, I explore one of the most powerful movements in personal growth: letting learning and action become partners. Not as a concept, but as a lived experiment you ca...

You are hoping things will work out. You are hoping the decision becomes clearer. You are hoping you will feel ready — soon. And maybe that hope is exactly what is quietly keeping you still. In this 10-Minute Pause, I explore a German word that English doesn't quite have - Zuversicht - and why the difference between hoping and moving may be the most important shift you make this year. This episode...

You can keep moving forward. Solving, performing, preparing the next thing. And still feel like something is quietly waiting behind you. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active principle of Process (Presence) and why a present, alive life is not built from moving faster, but from staying with what is real long enough for something to move. This episode grew out of a personal realization:...

Sometimes life feels like there is only one option. "I have to." "There is no other way." "This is just how it is." And still, something important in you may not be fully honored. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active principle of Balance - not as work-life optimization, but as conscious choice. Balance begins when we slow down, notice the perspective we are standing in, and gently ask:...

You can build a life that works perfectly on paper. And still feel like something important in you is not being honored. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active theme of Values and why a fulfilling life is not built by achievement alone, but by listening to what is already alive in you. Two weeks ago I explored Fulfillment and what it means to live a life that feels valued, purposeful, an...

You don't know what comes next. The path is unclear. The answer isn't there yet. And something inside you says: fix this. Figure it out. Know. In this 10-Minute Pause, I borrow an idea from Quantum Physics - the Uncertainty Principle - and explore what it can teach us about how we live, how we grow, and how we relate to the unknown. I'm not a physicist. This is my explanation, through my own lens....

You built the career. You hit the goals. You did what made sense. And something still feels like it's missing. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active© principle of Fulfillment and why a truly fulfilling life is not about achieving more, but about living in a way that feels valued, purposeful, and alive. This episode is for you if you've ever felt the gap between a life that works on pape...

Sometimes we get reduced to the problem, the pressure, the role, or the thing that is not working. But the problem is never the whole person. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active cornerstone "Focus on the Whole Person" and why real coaching, leadership, and human connection begin when we stop meeting only the issue and start meeting the human being underneath. This episode is about mor...

Some conversations create insight. But real change asks for something more. In this 10-minute Pause, I explore the Co-Active cornerstone Evoke Transformation — and why awareness alone is often not enough. Reflection matters. Insight matters. But transformation asks for courage, presence, and a willingness to respond to what the moment truly needs. I also weave in Dance in This Moment - because rea...

When someone irritates you, drains your energy, or triggers instant judgment, it’s easy to reduce them to a problem. But what changes when you pause and choose curiosity instead? In this 15-minute Pause, I explore one of the most powerful Co-Active coaching cornerstones: people are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. This belief sounds beautiful in theory. But in real life, it gets tested...

Most people think coaching starts with the first powerful question. I’m discovering that it starts earlier - in the conversation where the relationship itself gets designed. At the beginning of my Co-Active certification, one of the first big surprises was this: we didn’t jump straight into coaching, feedback, or performance. First, we took time to design our alliance. How do we want to be togethe...

Some relationships stay stuck not because people don’t care - but because nobody ever tells the truth about what the relationship needs. If you’re a leader, a partner, or someone navigating important relationships at work or in life, this matters: you’re not just dealing with the issue - you’re living inside the space between you and another person. And when that space is full of assumptions, unsp...

Saying no is one thing. Saying no without guilt - and staying calm when people push back - is the real skill. In this 10-minute Pause, I guide you through a simple, coaching-style tool to: find your boundaries (body, time, energy, respect) name them in one clear sentence handle pushback when someone asks again or crosses the line My coaching stance is simple: I’ll slow things down with you, help y...

Anger isn’t “bad.” It’s often energy + information - a signal that something you value is being touched, or a boundary wants protecting. In this short JORMAZIN` Pause , I’ll guide you through a calm, somatic reset to: notice the “heat” in your body discharge the charge (without suppressing it or acting it out) decode the value or boundary underneath choose one clean next step you can take within 2...

The thing that keeps you stuck isn’t what people think of you - it’s what you imagine they think. If you’re a leader or a changemaker carrying a lot, you’re not just doing the work - you’re managing an invisible audience in your head. In this 10-minute Pause, I share three real moments from building my coaching practice (launching this podcast, reaching out to my network, and posting on LinkedIn)...
