Take a moment with Holzweiler
Podcast af Holzweiler
Welcome to the Take a Moment podcast, a space to block out the noise and let inspiration flow.Our host, Susanne Holzweiler, is also one of the founders of our company. She’s been there since the early days when Holzweiler first started operating as a small agency in Oslo, and is now at the heart of operations as we transition into a global lifestyle brand. Take a Moment with Holzweiler is a podcast inspired by Susanne’s experience of juggling life with a rapidly expanding business. Back in 2016 Susanne was operating as Holzweiler’s CEO: ‘I had been working so much and so hard, after having the business for 10 years. I had also gotten 2 small kids during that period, and it was just everything at the same time. I was working day and night - every spare second I was spending working.’Susanne developed a bad case of burnout, and the remedy for this was quite literally to take a moment. Susanne shifted her lifestyle to allow for a space for wellness, meditation and rest, and to learn new information from books, podcasts and her peers.Inspired by this, Take a moment with Holzweiler is our new podcast where we delve deep into the stories of the people who inspire us. There’s so much to learn if we take the time to listen to other people’s experiences, and this is what this podcast creates a space to do.As our Holzweiler family continues to grow, we get to know the stories of an ever expanding range of people, from royalty to leaders in the modern wellness movement. Holzweiler sits at the intersection of life and style, therefore we often take our inspiration from the real people living life with the values that align with our own.In the rush of the working week when everyone is dashing from meeting to meeting it’s hard to find the time to let creativity flow. So, we invite you to take a moment and join us for this podcast and see where inspiration from these stories can lead you to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this special episode, Susanne travels far into the countryside to meet up with Gudbrand, the founder of Horgan Gård. Susanne first met him when she was sourcing produce for Holzweiler Platz, and they connected over his vision for transforming farming practices towards sustainability and regenerative agriculture. Drawing on years of experience, in this conversation he highlights the importance of outdoor grazing and holistic farm management to reduce environmental impact and improve the overall quality of food. Horgan Gård is committed to raising animals in a way that benefits the land and the environment, however Gudbrand is aware that switching to more sustainable methods isn’t always easy. Many farmers are already caught in cycles of debt and rely on subsidies; Gubrand believes that the system can only change for the better through time and support. As the conversation shifts to the future, Gudbrand envisions a more holistic operation that focuses not on growth, but on maintaining balance. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire more sustainable farming practices that can be replicated on a larger scale, making high-quality, nutritious food more accessible and improving animal welfare. With a focus on education, transparency, and innovation, Horgan Gård is leading the way toward a future where food production is both sustainable and humane. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

As biohacking gains traction in Norway, media interest has surged, leading to greater public awareness and acceptance. However, the movement still faces skepticism. Monica Øien & Alette Aubert, otherwise known as the Biohacking Girls, know their work in the field including their upcoming book and the Biohacking Weekend conference, is more important than ever. Now in its fourth year, Biohacking Weekend is the only event of its kind in Scandinavia, attracting world-renowned experts. This year, Dr. Bill Schindler will address the dangers of ultra-processed foods, while his wife, Christina, will focus on improving children’s nutrition in schools. The event will also feature discussions on cutting-edge topics like peptides, NAD+, and mental resilience, fostering a growing sense of community where attendees feel understood and supported. Monica and Alette reflect on the evolution of biohacking in Norway, noting its slow but steady progress. Unlike the male-dominated biohacking scene in the U.S., Norway has maintained a strong female presence, thanks to efforts to include women from the start. In addition to organising the conference, Monica and Alette are finalizing their book, which covers biohacking fundamentals, stress management, and habit-building. They emphasize the importance of balance—avoiding biohacking extremes and instead focusing on practical, sustainable health strategies. Their personal well-being remains a priority, incorporating breathwork, time in nature, and cold water exposure into their daily routines. Their mission remains clear as the movement grows: to inspire and educate, making biohacking more accessible and rooted in both science and real-life experiences. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Susanne is joined by Sebastian Solberg, a successful entrepreneur and one of Norway’s most popular T.V. hosts. As someone who has built a career from the ground up, Sebastian understands the pressures of success in the public eye. He reflects on the fears many people have of speaking up, especially in a society where success can often lead to unwarranted scrutiny. Sebastian’s experience has taught him that staying true to your values and embracing the support of others is crucial, especially when faced with public criticism. Throughout the conversation, he discusses how the Norwegian mentality often discourages celebrating success, leading to more criticism than encouragement. Sebastian also emphasizes the importance of supporting each other’s achievements, whether in business or personal life. For him, taking a moment to recharge involves simple acts like going to a restaurant alone, where he finds peace in observing others and reflecting on the small, authentic moments that often go unnoticed. This episode highlights the significance of staying grounded in your values, not being afraid to speak your truth, and embracing the uniqueness of each person’s journey. Sebastian’s insights offer a fresh perspective on overcoming societal pressures while remaining focused on what truly matters. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
