ENDLESS BLUE PODCAST

In this episode, I sit down with Pilar Casquilho, an extraordinary athlete who continues to redefine what's possible. At 67 years old, she is still training, competing, and recently set the Master's world record in Static Apnea (STA) with an incredible time of 5:35 . What stayed with me most from our conversation wasn't the record itself—it was her perspective. As freedivers, we often...

In this podcast episode, I raise the question:  Could freediving be used as a form of therapy? As someone who has struggled with eating disorders and spent years staying out late and partying, I've come to love early mornings, a healthy lifestyle, and feeling deeply connected to myself. I talk about how the ocean helped me reconnect with who I am and allowed me to grow in ways I never thought I wa...

Do you sometimes feel stressed and overwhelmed by life? I meditate every morning to give my mind a small reset... But nothing relaxes me more than the ocean. I can't even put it into words, but it's such a relieving feeling. It's like being a snake and shedding its skin... It's a deep connection with the ocean and with myself. It's being forced to come back to the present moment. Becoming truly aw...

„Wenn der Ozean dich lehrt zu leben“ In dieser Podcast Episode interviewe ich meine gute Freundin Dr. Lena Kemna, Big Wave Surferin und Freediverin. Wir tauchen ein in die Frage, wie es ist, Balance zu finden zwischen zwei verwandten, aber doch gegensätzlichen Sportarten – und gleichzeitig den Spagat zur Businesswelt zu meistern. Wie ihr die Arbeit mit Marketing leicht fällt und sie trotzdem den O...

In this week's episode, I talk about different ways to learn and train in free divining—a much more holistic and sustainable approach. Instead of putting pressure on yourself, pushing everything through the mind, and forcing results, this method focuses on building trust from the inside out. I believe growth happens naturally when we give ourselves the time and space to develop. That's why this ap...

Dive into yourself In this week's episode, I take you to breathe with me. Few words, but a deep connection. For this one, take some time for yourself. Find a calm place, sit or lie down so that your spine is straight, and breathe. This is really special for me, bringing freediving techniques to firm land—calming the nervous system and coming to the here and now. Like in a perfect dive: completely...

Welcome to a new podcast episode! Today, I’m taking you into the fascinating world of underwater photography. I’ll share my personal journey — from my very first dives with a camera to the challenges and unforgettable moments beneath the surface. We’ll also talk about how you can become an underwater photographer too: the skills that matter most, and why patience, creativity, and respect for the o...

I get up every morning without excuse. I started this when I became a freediving instructor, with a clear goal of gaining depth and apnea. Today, for me, it’s more than that. It’s about getting clarity, finding calmness, and having a moment with myself before the day starts. Come and breathe with me… through my morning kundalini meditation. Starting in June: Weekly sessions — “Just Breathe” https:...

As freedivers, we have to be calm and clear before we enter the deep — every thought and every tension costs oxygen... A way to get to our own still point. A moment where you are calm and clear and can focus on the challenge right in front of you! A perfect way to dive, but also to go through life. So let’s take a moment to breathe <3 Lots of love, Janna And if you need help on your way join me...

The breath changed my life. A magic tool everyone should know how to use. You want to dive with sharks? Breathe through it. Your niece and nephew are flying down a near-vertical slide and you want to join? Breathe. Afraid of speaking in front of people? Breathe. Recovering from sickness? Breathe. Confused? Breathe. Looking for your way? Breathe… and listen. I could go on and on. What I really want...

Come and dive with me into the endless blue. Leave behind the stress of modern life for a moment, reconnect with yourself, and the wonderful planet we call home. Freediving became my gateway into a meditative state — moments of true presence, deep relaxation...A liminal experience that changed my life forever. Just listen… relax… and enjoy the ride. <3 Connect with me on Insta: ⁠⁠⁠@janna_nadjej...

In this episode I take you behind the scenes—what it really feels like to take on a new challenge: opening a freediving school. Because 10 years ago, I would’ve faced something like this very differently. Back then, I was working as a film producer… constantly stressed, anxious, lost in endless tasks. Always doing, always thinking—completely disconnected from myself. There was no space. No clarity...

I grew up in Greece, surrounded by the ocean and nature... I had a deep connection with myself... I knew where my limits were...and what I was capable of .. But I left the beautiful island and became scared so badly I couldn't look at a shark in a newspaper.. Here I share with you my journey ...back to the ocean and so to myself <3 Connect with me on Insta: ⁠⁠@janna_nadjejda⁠⁠ Connect with our...

Hier nehme ich euch mit nach Patagonien Tomi ist Argentinier, doch seine Wurzeln reichen bis nach Europa: Sein Urgroßvater stammte aus Stettin – damals noch Deutschland – und musste während der NS-Zeit mit seiner Familie fliehen. Sie wanderten nach Buenos Aires aus, wo er sich als Kieferchirurg ein neues Leben aufbaute. Von einer Patientin kaufte er schließlich ein Stück Land – ein Ort, der heute...

Every thought and every tension costs oxygen — that’s why in freediving we learn to calm the body and the mind. By doing so, we start to truly connect with our inner self, see what comes up, and be honest with ourselves. From there, we can let go… and grow. I share how, years ago, I went on a deep meditation retreat and couldn’t find that connection — and how freediving opened that door for me. No...

I had just returned from a wonderful trip to  Puerto Blest  in Argentina’s first national park, which has a  selva fría , a cold jungle. I came back completely recharged. It made me think about freediving, how it is a way to connect with nature, about the breath—which is how I connect to my own nature, to myself—and how it always recharges me. I take you through my challenges and how nature and th...
