Welcome to the WHYLD Podcast.
Inspire people. Support others' growth. Create a meaningful life. If this mission resonates with your own values, this podcast is for you.
My name is Tina Hewelt and I create WHYLD because I love people and am deeply curious about why they do what they do. Especially if – to me – they seem to have weird hobbies, quirky personalities, out-of-the-box thinking, I love exploring what gets them excited and drives their actions...
Would you have it in you to cross the US all the way from the southern to the northern end… on foot?
Well, in episode 2 you get to meet someone who did just that. Thomas Clemens walked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), a long-distance hiking trail that stretches for 4270 kilometers, in 5 months and 13 days...
Do you take others for granted?
You would realize that, at the latest, if you complained about something someone did “not right”.
All of us are making hundreds of choices daily when interacting with ourselves or other people. We could choose to be rude, to be unreliable, to be ignorant. Yet instead, most of us most of the time decide to be respectful, to do our best, to be trustworthy. We learn and grow and we become damn good at things others rely on us to do...
What proof do you need to believe in your own resilience?
A lot of people tend to attribute their successes in life to external factors. Well, I was just lucky… I had help I couldn’t have done it without. This does not really foster one’s self-esteem...
Pleasure, indulgence and abundance is a popular theme of society
Especially in safe and economically prosperous parts of the world. Abstaining from something that we enjoy and think we need can therefore be experienced as anything between pointless, sad, and even downright scary. This could apply to all kinds of things, like cars, kitchen gadgets, sex, traveling or posting selfies on social media...
Are you putting others first and leaving yourself behind in the process?
There is no right answer to the question of how much sacrifice is adequate and what degree of egoism is healthy. Luckily, life is not about either/or. Our span of life provides plenty of room for taking care of others as well for exploration, self-expression, and goal pursuit.
When Bek Huynh was only a teenager, she made a decision to get her parents out of debt...
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...
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...
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...
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...
