OWN IT The Confidence Podcast

She is the power behind me being able to transform my body from totally out of shape, to feeling really confident and good about myself again.

Send us Fan Mail How do you keep producing and showing up when you don't find the motivation? I often get this question from my clients, and I always give the same answer. Very seldom in my life do I feel a lack of motivation, but... today it happened. So, what a great opportunity to showcase an example of how I do to keep producing and showing up even when I don't feel like it. Today&ap...

Send us Fan Mail Do you get to the end of the day feeling exhausted because you just didn't stop?

This episode is for you! Perhaps my story of how an incident of fate helped me change from being a burned-out perfe...

Send us Fan Mail Whether you identify with this as a parent, as a leader of a team or more generally from a self-leadership perspective not feeling quite successful with your actions, I hope you will consider the point that when we feel like we're about to "go bananas", it's too late. That sounds negative, but what I really mean is this: when you feel that you're being tri...

Send us Fan Mail Recording this episode was quite tough, especially towards the end, as I really just wanted to cry. I don't know how impactful a podcast is if the listener can't really hear what you're saying because you're crying or sobbing, or sniveling. Anyway, I made an effort to get this out of me, because I believe it has a very powerful and very important message. I kno...

Send us Fan Mail Are you a perfectionist? With constant and omnipresent pressure on yourself to always be, do, and deliver PERFECTION? This is a subject that comes up quite regularly with my 1:1 coaching clients. Their struggles with the feeling that they HAVE to be perfect. And of course, their pain and suffering when they feel they didn't reach perfection. When there was a tiny mistake, a s...

Today's episode is about exploring "the other perspective" in a situation where you feel stuck, down, irritated or perhaps grumpy. Don't walk around thinking of yourself that...

Send us Fan Mail Today is my little brother's birthday. He turns 35, almost adult now :) Let me entertain you by singing the Swedish birthday song, and share a little story from when we grew up. I was 14, he was 4, and I loved when he wanted hugs and let me carry him. At one point, I was quite creative in finding a way to get him to want more hugs. So... I took my Tiger Balm , put a thin laye...

Send us Fan Mail I'm not saying YOUR communication style sucks. I am talking about when you feel like your communication style sucks, or the way someone talks to you. So many times in life do we find ourselves in conversations that hurt, that make us sad, make us feel less intelligent, super frustrated, angry, scared, pressured, humiliated even. All the feelings. And of course all the good on...

Send us Fan Mail There is so much that "helps" us create and shape and mold our self-image as we grow up and continue through life. As of today, if you hadn't considered it before, I would like to invite you to take full responsibility of your self-image. Join in on the journey of exploring, understanding and improving our self-image to become something that supports and helps us ac...

Send us Fan Mail The world is changing again, many of our old routines start to take space on the agenda again, like going to the gym . Today was my first visit, after three months of lockdown.

Are you one of the persons who's gotten in better shape during these months, are you one of the totally overw...

Send us Fan Mail What do you think is better? Being an introvert or an extrovert? Which personality type has a higher success rate in society? Who is perceived as the better person? I used to think, until just a year ago, partly because I was told so: that I am an extrovert. Then WHY did networking, mingling and attending "girls nights out" feel so incredibly uncomfortable? Why did hangi...

Send us Fan Mail Why does growth hurt so much? Why is personal development, and personal growth so very uncomfortable that most people just don't pursue it? Compared to the pain of growing into a better, stronger version of ourselves, many prefer taking the pain of frustration, the pain of being stuck, and the pain of unfulfillment. I hope that these stories about growth and creating change,...

Send us Fan Mail They say we die twice; once, when our physical body gives in, and the second when someone speaks our name for the last time.

Send us Fan Mail Have you also received some really fun or sweet or totally mad messages during the lockdown? I'm sharing some of the most unprofessional, disturbing, and sweet messages I have received. And possibly a marriage proposal...

Send us Fan Mail Following up on Episode 3; Done is better than PERFECT , we're talking about what you have to do if you want to be successful. What is the first thing you have to do?

I’m not ready yet….” For how long are y...

Send us Fan Mail The most important relationship in your life, is the one with yourself.

I think this episode is valuable for everyone, because we all have relationships, at...

Send us Fan Mail We're all going through a lot of change now. For some it's more on the personal side, having to work from home, with children in the "working space". For some it's more on the professional side, not gaining an income as they cannot sell to their clients right now. For some, it's both personal and professional change in a big and overwhelming way. The...
