Niko found peace and a way of improving his mental health. Klaudia finds nature fascinating and energising. We're both excited about foraging more this year and getting closer to mother nature but in a completely different way. Obviously, we're not planning to live from the land. We need stuff from shops, but if there's a way of being more sustainable by just looking around the closest meadow, woo...

Hello hello!  In this episode, we discussed some of Klaudia's key reasons why and how we should allow ourselves to be wrong, learn more and be open to the idea of questioning more often. You can do all of this by being more humble and sometimes trying to ask different questions.  In Adam Grant's book "Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know" there is a lot about the idea of...

Some of us have a deep need to support other people. We thrive and flourish when we help others to do the same. But, on the other hand, we get frustrated, sad and disappointed when we see people not taking the opportunity to be better, to try differently.

What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole futu...

It includes autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD - although Niko doesn't like the...

Did you know that in 2020 there was 110 000 research publication with the keyword "social media"???!!! That number is growing with every passing month, and what's scary, to a large extent, we're starting to realise that online life is not so healthy.
 Social media has become an integral part of our lives. Every aspect of our life is bonded to social media. From daily communication to the whole pro...

Today's episode is about creating a new romantic relationship after you've just closed a chapter...

In this episode, we're talking about our feelings about 2022 and plans for 2023. Questioning the idea of New Year's Resolutions and looking into our thoughts, fears and worries when looking at 2023. As Layne Norton said in Andrew Humeberman Lab (Klaudia's favourite podcast - Niko jokingly calls K.- Mrs Huberman (no offence, Andrew, but this lassie is mine), why wait for New Year, discard the last...

There is no "one size fits all" cure for depression or other mental health issues. Today's episode was born from Nikos' struggle to stay above to surface of sadness.

Who are we?  We're nearly two decades in the country we haven't been born. We both left our home country in our early twenties. Carrying a heavy weight of our past on our shoulders. What immigration gave us? What challenges did we come across? How did being Polish-born in times of ending communism help us in a journey? And finally, what is our best advice to other people trying to make a good...
