OWN IT The Confidence Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Not so long ago, my son gave me a beautiful reminder of how powerful it can be to be seeing things in only one perspective, when literally always, there are other parts, angles and perspectives to a story. When we hear something, when we see something, when we feel something, and when we think something - we think we know. We even KNOW that we know. Cause we know, right!? Well, in...

Send us Fan Mail What do you do when you're single and you've had enough of being single, and you'd really like to meet someone? Not just anyone, but THE ONE... do you get on Tinder? Or do you absolutely not get on Tinder? That's the question today. I have a whole long list of arguments against it, but then again... it's the curiosity and the happy stories you hear about t...

Send us Fan Mail Strange... I had everything lined out to create, plan, record and release a new podcast episode every week. I rrrrreeeeally wanted to, I've been waiting and waiting and collecting stories to share with you. But then... life happened. You know: conferences, evening activities, work, plowing through more episodes of the series I've become addicted to on Amazon Prime (almos...

Send us Fan Mail Hej hej!!!! And we're back on track. I had to take a break to sort out my professional situation. My time as an independent coach is over. The pandemic hit hard for many, including my business. So, this is a new start, of a new year, with me in a new professional role, with a new series of the podcast, but with the same focus on what we talk about. One difference is that ther...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we need to take inventory of what we do with our time. Are you investing it? Are you spending it? Or are you wasting it? If you want results, and if you want to be in control of your life and situation, here's a great tool to help you move ahead. The PoPoP is a system I have developed with my clients, helping them identify the tasks and actions of their daily schedu...

Send us Fan Mail Swimming in self-loathing right now. From end of March until end of July, I worked out harder than I have ever done in my whole life, including the time when I competed in full-contact kickboxing. I got in the best shape I have ever been, at 45. I was happy, I was proud, I felt so great, I loved it. And then... little "challenges" started pearling up. I dealt with them,...

Send us Fan Mail Rules make life easy! Rules make life boring! Which one is more true for you? For me, it's definitely something that makes life easy. Being Swedish and totally respectful of standing in line, waiting for my turn, and accepting the rules of the game makes it natural for me to feel it's a good thing. I know this is not the same for everyone. And lately, I have been thinkin...

Send us Fan Mail Life and death in perspective. Someone told me not to share that we have Corona in my family, because it may lead to people not wanting to get close, we may have problems after, and other brutal things. But you know what... we have done nothing wrong. Someone in the family has this stupid virus. Very mild symptoms, if any at all. Could hardly believe the test result. The kids HAD...

Send us Fan Mail Paying it forward! As a token of my appreciation to my phenomenal and generous mentors Chris Robinson and Tim Novak , who both took time for me today and helped me with something I needed excellent thinking partners on, I am gifting a free coaching session to someone.

Imagine being told by the docto...

Send us Fan Mail In the celebrations of Women's Entrepreneurship Day 2020, I had the honor to interview Dr. Deena Brown who has done extensive research on a topic so many suffer from: IMPOSTER SYNDROME. We talk about where it comes from, how it shows up and what to do to not have to deal with this ingredient in our life. This information is incredibly valuable and everyone who hears this will...

Send us Fan Mail The greatest lesson a con artist taught me is, surprisingly enough, about self-worth. Let's be clear, at the time I heard these words, nobody considered this person anything else than a super successful entrepreneur, who had lots of wisdom to share. And, here is one piece of gold that is worth sharing and spreading. How much are you really worth? Why do you so easily downgrad...

Send us Fan Mail Who said or did something that really hurt you? You know that comment or the words that still hurt... Perhaps there's a way to shift that pain and transform the "hurtful comment/words" into an empowering message. Even something that can help you become an EVEN better version of yourself! If The Dalai Lama could forgive the Chinese government for having chased him an...

Send us Fan Mail Who is the person or the project you are most committed to? Who would you drop everything for if they asked or your help? Who would you adjust to and be flexible for? In my personal opinion, the one person you should be the absolute most committed to is: YOU! This morning as I was brushing my teeth I realized that I keep making the same mistake over and over, in so many different...

Send us Fan Mail I believe that one of the best ways to ruin a relationship is to give a lot of space to your ego. Have you ever been in a "conversation" with a partner, friend, colleague, lover and you feel 100% triggered and get sucked into a "fight" because you KNOW you are right? And the most frustrating thing is that the other person, who you KNOW is wrong, also believes t...

Send us Fan Mail Whether you manage your time or not, the same thing will happen: tic... toc... tic... toc. Yes, time passes, for every breath you take, for every step you take, for every blink you make, for every drop that falls from a fountain, more of your time is forever gone. Pretty impressive thought, the kind that makes you want to stand up and get things done NOW! Today we're talking...

Send us Fan Mail Clarity is key to any change or improvement, to understanding where you are and what you have to do to get to where you want to be. Without clarity, you will never ever know if you're taking the right action. Without clarity on what you want to do, be, have or achieve in your life, how on earth are you going to feel in control of your situation on a daily basis when you don&a...

Send us Fan Mail Watching our Tiny Dwarf Rabbit explore my office space today with a full floor carpet was exceptionally entertaining. He started out by just strolling around sniffing cables, biting binders, looking into the recycling paper bin and sitting still just watching the new space. Then all of a sudden he went crazy. Like totally cray-cray. He took off like a rocket. The usual surface he...

Send us Fan Mail Tough times now for a lot of people. Is it the pandemic? Is it actually tougher now...? Or are we all getting wound up in our own negative thoughts? It would be nice to just blame our sad mood on the government, the rain, the grey sky, or the train passing by the bedroom in the middle of the night. But, that won't change much, will it? Like many of you, I am currently going t...

Send us Fan Mail  The power of our thoughts is one of my favorite topics. Today I share something VERY interesting I read in one of my favorite books, Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. And yes, the book goes deep on the power of our thoughts and how we can use them to reconstruct and improve our self-image, and thus our results and our whole life. Sometimes we create more pain than we really ne...
