ORIGIN - Remember Your Truth

20 | When the Shit Hits the Fan ... You Get a Shitstorm

Life doesn’t break down in neat, manageable pieces — it tends to hit all at once. In this episode, I talk about what happens when overwhelm takes over and everything feels like too much at the same time. Not from a theoretical place, but from the lived experience of being in it. The focus is on how to stay with yourself when things get messy: slowing down instead of spiraling, not adding meaning to the chaos, and remembering that overwhelm is a state — not your identity. It’s also about relieving pressure. You don’t need to fix everything at once. You need to find your next right step and come back to your own ground again and again. This episode is a reminder that even in chaos, you’re still connected to yourself — even if it feels buried.

19 | Make the Decision Right — And How to Actually Decide

Making decisions can feel way harder than they need to be. Not because the decision itself is unclear — but because of the pressure to choose “right” and avoid regret. In this episode, I touch on why there’s no such thing as a perfect decision — and why trying to predict the “best” outcome often keeps you stuck. But the main focus is practical: I walk you through different ways to actually make decisions — from structured approaches to intuitive ones. We explore tools like Human Design, working with your body and nervous system, kinesiology, future-self perspectives, and simple mental shifts like removing money from the equation — so you can find what genuinely works for you. This isn’t about overthinking your next step. It’s about having options, trying what resonates, and building real self-trust through action.

18 | Guided: Tired of Self-Improvement? Come Daydream

No input. No learning. No fixing. This is a fully guided visualization — a space to drift, imagine, and let your mind take you somewhere else for a moment. You don’t need to understand anything or do anything “right.” Just follow along and allow the images to unfold. I didn’t plan where this would go before recording — this journey revealed itself in the moment, just as new and unexpected for me as it will be for you. Think of it as a conscious daydream you can drop into whenever you want to disconnect and reset.

17 | Ecofluency: Nature Communication with Dr. Saskia von Diest

What if Nature isn’t separate from us, but something we can be in dialogue with? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Saskia von Diest — founder of Ecofluency, PhD holder, consultant and Nature communication educator — about relearning an ancient human capacity: communicating with the more-than-human world. We explore Nature communication as a practice of deep listening rooted in intuition, presence and sensory awareness — and why communicating with plants, animals and landscapes may be far more natural than we’ve been taught. We also talk about ecological healing, land intelligence, belonging, humility, embodiment and expanded ways of perceiving reality. Saskia shares how this work can support both personal transformation and our relationship with living systems. Again and again, this conversation returns to one remembering: we are not separate from Nature. This episode is less about adopting a belief — and more about what becomes possible when we begin listening differently.

16 | The Invisible Patterns Running Your Life — Identity & Transformation with Joseph E. Sorensen

What if the parts of you you’ve been avoiding… are actually the doorway to your deepest power? In this episode, I sit down with Joseph Sorensen to explore his journey from atheism to spirituality – and the profound shifts in perception, identity, and inner awareness that came with it. This conversation goes far beyond the idea of “self-improvement.” We dive into shadow work, emotional depth, and the subtle patterns that shape how we experience reality. Joseph shares how learning to feel – instead of analyze or suppress – became a turning point in his growth, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to understanding ourselves. We also explore the nature of perception itself. What does it mean to sense beyond the visible? To recognize patterns, energy, and unseen dynamics? This episode opens up a perspective where reality is not fixed, but fluid – shaped by awareness, attention, and the willingness to question what we think we know. Joseph speaks about shadows not only as the parts we reject, but also introduces the idea of the “golden shadow” – the hidden potential, gifts, and power we haven’t yet allowed ourselves to embody. We talk about identity as something layered, constantly evolving, and why breaking out of rigid labels can be both disorienting and deeply liberating. This episode is an invitation to soften your grip on certainty. To feel more. To question more. And to recognize that transformation doesn’t come from fixing yourself – but from meeting yourself, fully.
