What if Life was Easy? 14.05.2025

What if life wasn't meant to be a constant struggle? In this episode of This Life or Something Better , I'm inviting you to question one of the most deeply held beliefs we carry: that life has to be hard in order to be meaningful.

The Illusion of Control 12.03.2025

Today's episode is a topic that I think every one of us has struggled with at one time or another - The Illusion of Control.

What if Change was working For You, not Against You? 26.02.2025

When we make big life changes, our minds tend to focus on everything we're leaving behind instead of what we're stepping into.

In this episode, we're diving into why we do this, what it costs us, and...
