episode 16: Episode 16 - Are You an Imposter?
Do you doubt you live up to people's expectations of you?
Do you tend to belittle your own successes?
Welcome to the club of many.
Sometimes we call it modesty, sometimes we speak in the name of realism, sometimes we claim to acknowledge the support of others.
But frankly: oftentimes we simply cannot accept our own greatness...
episode 15: Episode 15 - Luck or Fate? No Success Comes By Chance - Romeo Salazar
Are you holding open the door for fate to enter or do you push it close?
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Sometimes we hit obstacles, sometimes miracles lift us across them.
In this episode, musical theatre performer Romeo Salazar shares his experience of losing the stage to perform on during the Covid pandemic. In this juicy, textured conversation we contrast seemingly mere luck and helping fate find you through your active being and doing...
episode 14: Episode 14 - Fear of Not Being Perfect Is Costly
How much are you willing to sacrifice in order to hide your „imperfections“?
We all do it at times. We throw our energy, time, and an impressively creative charade of excuses onto the things we feel insecure about, ashamed of, or „not ready yet“ for. We willingly trade our dreams, opportunities, and belief in ourselves for a chance to hide our imperfections from the people around us...
episode 13: Episode 13 - How to Find Humility and Dignity on the Journey to Fertility - Sandra Winterbach
Did you know that up to 1 in 4 recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage?
This is something few know about. In school during sex education, we learn how to avoid pregnancies. However, the other side of the medal is rarely spoken about: How to deal with not being able to get pregnant or the child never making it through to being a new, miraculous life on this planet...
episode 12: Episode 12 - Loving 2-4-1 - Chris, Sven and Andy
Can you imagine sharing life with more than one partner?
Find the love of your life, get married, buy a house, have kids. This default notion of a desirable, successful path in life is a common theme in society. In this picture, a monogamous “escalator” type relationship plays a central role.
However, vowing sexual exclusivity to, loving and living with one partner only is not the sole option. It is estimated that about 4-5 % of people living in the U.S...
episode 11: Episode 11 - Challenge Is a Given, Attitude a Choice - Kara Scott
Have you ever questioned feeling pity for someone with a disability?
This conversation might make you do just that.
Kara Scott had been confronted for years with strange neurological symptoms and vague diagnoses that would make a spelling champion break a sweat. Her life changed for good when, on the flight home after a family vacation, paralysis hit from her chest down. She has got every reason to resent her fate, or so one might think. But she won’t buy that...
episode 10: Episode 10 - Higher Quality Questions, Higher Quality Results
Does your way of asking questions get you ahead or does it set you back?
We pose questions all the time, out of a desire to understand, to connect, to get clearer on a course of action, to challenge others, and a million more reasons. Questions are such a basic component of our linguistic toolkit, rarely do we pay attention to their power. Yet, questions are far from being innocent or incidental...
episode 9: Episode 9 - Sometimes 80 Percent Is Good Enough - Sarah Appelt
Are you attuned to your inner voice?
Can you relate to the feeling of not being able to be your true self in the circumstances you are in? To experiencing pressure, stress, and the resulting effects on your body and mind as you try to meet the expectations of yourself and others? Depending on how deep you are stuck in the rabbit hole, you might think that there is no way out, that you are just not enough to meet the demands, that you’ll have to continue to fight...
episode 8: Episode 8 - Challenge as a Meditation - Jason Stephenson
How well are you connected to who you truly are being at the core?
What might sound like an awkward question to some is a game changer once we actually open up to it. We are more than our name, our profession, our history. Jason Stephenson, the creator of guided mediation and affirmation recordings, reflects on how mindfulness helps to strip away those superficial layers of identity and to get closer to your authentic being and your calling in life...
episode 7: Episode 7 - Embracing Uncertainty - Francesco Leone
Have you ever wondered why phone booths in Italy might be wider than elsewhere?
Well, it's most likely an untrue myth, to be fair. Plus, this is definitely not the topic of the episode - but you'll hear an answer anyway if you keep listening to the very end.
In this episode, you'll get to meet Francesco Leone. A serial entrepreneur who does not consider himself to be one...
