In this episode I share my worldview on “travel” that invites the entire world to feel like home. I don’t like “travelling” in its conventional sense. But I like absorbing the culture, let it soak into my skin, my eyes, my belly, my breath – when I’m at a new geographical location. I like standing still at a new place – letting these new experiences flow through me.  Some say that I travelled exte...

In this episode I explain what neurodivergent means and its multiple “faces”: ADHD, autism, hypersensitivity amongst many others. I share how I've learnt to thrive with it and how you can do, too. Having a brain that processes the surrounding world differently is actually a superpower, that opens up a window of possibilities, rather than a deterrent to your life. The thriving comes when you be...

That feeling is a reaction to the external world or our own inner workings & thoughts. The problem is that we don’t always KNOW what the feeling is... let alone how to feel it in a way that doesn’t overwhelm or “destroy” us. I share a practical approach on how to fee...

Is fear really something you should be fearing , or...? We dive into the psychology of this primal emotion. Fear protects us from danger, it alerts us when something isn't right and needs to be avoided – whether physically or psychologically – but it also prevents us from growth. Growth is danger – it is the unknown, unexplored , while our brain likes the opposite: the familiar and the comfort...

We are shaped by the languages we speak and we shape the languages we use - an on-going circled process. In this episode I share a simple "trick" to dissociate yourself a little bit away from the words you use in an emotionally charged situation – in order to introduce more control and agency over how you feel. Excited to share concepts like "language linearity" and "conte...
