Beschreibung

Episode 15 in English with Christian Would you walk away from a high-paying, “successful” job if it no longer made you happy? Have you ever seriously asked yourself that question? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Christian to talk about career pivots, burnout, intuition, and trusting the timing of your life even when it feels uncertain. Sometimes we stay in jobs, relationships, or versions of ourselves simply because they look good from the outside or because we feel like we’re supposed to. But deep down, we know something isn’t right. And eventually, life, God, the universe, whatever you believe in starts pushing you toward the direction you were truly meant for. Christian and I reflect on our friendship from our London days, the pressure of figuring life out, learning to listen to ourselves, and finding the courage to choose alignment over appearances. ✨ This can be harder to do in reality with a Balkan and Eastern European upbringing where you´re not supposed to question the societal and family expectations. If this resonates, let us know in the comment section or privately. Thank you for listening. Much love <3

Episode Women empowerment in Corporate - Why some women have a scarcity mindset Cover

Women empowerment in Corporate - Why some women have a scarcity mindset

Episode in English with Manisha Description: In this episode, I sit down with Manisha, a former colleague from the pharmaceutical industry, for an honest conversation about women in the workplace, empowerment, and the importance of supporting one another. We explore why women sometimes view each other as competition rather than allies, while men often seem more willing to champion and promote one another. Together, we discuss how we can move from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset—one where there is room for all of us to succeed. We also talk about the value of traditionally "female" strengths that are often overlooked in corporate environments. While technical expertise, analytical thinking, and hard skills are essential, qualities such as empathy, collaboration, relationship-building, and creating inclusive cultures are equally important. These skills help shape strong teams, healthy workplaces, and better outcomes for everyone. This episode is a candid reflection on leadership, workplace culture, and why lifting each other up is far more powerful than tearing each other down.

Episode Just because YOU don´t understand it, it doesn´t mean it isn´t REAL. So check your privilege please! Cover

Just because YOU don´t understand it, it doesn´t mean it isn´t REAL. So check your privilege please!

English episode 16 Description: YOU don´t get to tell me that my LIVED EXPERIENCE is not real. On today’s episode, I talk about what it feels like to be called a “victim” simply for sharing your story. I talk about having my pain invalidated by people who have never lived through the things I have. People whose baseline in life started at zero while mine started at minus one hundred. People who were handed safety, stability, opportunities, and dignity, yet still feel entitled to tell marginalized people what is real, what matters, and how we should feel. I talk about growing up having to earn everything from an early age, constantly fighting to create a better and more dignified life for myself without ever allowing myself to sink into self-pity. Survival became motivation. Pain became fuel. But there is a particular arrogance in privileged people dismissing struggles they have never had to endure themselves. This episode is a reflection, and a conversation about class, privilege, survival, identity, and the audacity of people who think their limited experience is the universal truth. Listen now if you’ve ever experienced having your experiences or feeling be invalidated by people who cannot possible know what it feels to be in your shoes...

Episode From Denmark to Australia: Building character takes courage Cover

From Denmark to Australia: Building character takes courage

English episode 14 In today’s episode, I talk to Caroline, whom I met 10 years ago when I worked as a guide for a language travel company in London, UK. At the time, Caroline and the other teenagers had travelled abroad to learn English, but things quickly became disorganized. The host families were not welcoming, the conditions were poor, and many of the teenagers felt abandoned and unsupported. I found myself being one of the only adults trying to help and speak up for them, something that eventually came with consequences for me professionally. After the trip, Caroline went to the Danish media and spoke publicly about how badly the teenagers had been treated, which in many ways became a form of vindication. But this episode is about much more than what happened back then. Today, Caroline is in her late 20s, living in Australia and trying to find herself, navigating identity, relationships, work, love, belonging, and the feeling of being ethnically Danish while still not fully feeling “Danish" and feeling more at home in Australia. We reflect on how life changes from your 20s to your 30s, the courage it takes to build character and reinvent yourself, and how genuine human connections can survive time and distance. Because when something is authentic, it stays.
