21 | Guided: Walking Meditation

No destination. No outcome. This is a guided walking meditation — a space to move, feel, and come back into your body while you walk. You don’t need to do anything “right.” Just follow along and let the experience unfold. Step by step. Breath by breath. Nothing to reach. Nothing to achieve. You can take this with you outside — or simply imagine the movement if you’re not able to walk right now. Think of it as a reset you can drop into whenever you want to reconnect — with yourself, your body, and the present moment.

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.
