23 | Stop Abandoning Yourself to Keep the Peace

23 | Stop Abandoning Yourself to Keep the Peace

Life doesn’t always fall apart loudly. Sometimes self-abandonment happens quietly — in the small moments where you ignore your needs, say yes when you mean no, or keep betraying your own truth just to keep the peace. In this episode, I talk about the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves through people pleasing, overgiving, guilt, and constantly putting others before our own inner voice. The focus is on rebuilding self-trust in everyday moments: honoring your boundaries, listening to your body, and allowing yourself to have needs without shame. It’s also about authenticity. About finding your own voice again instead of shaping yourself around everyone else’s expectations. Because peace doesn’t come from being liked by everyone — it comes from finally being honest with yourself. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to abandon yourself to be loved, safe, or worthy.

Bonus | German: Astrologie, Freiheit & den eigenen Weg gehen mit Jenna Feldheim

Diese Episode ist eine Bonusfolge — und gleichzeitig eine Erinnerung daran, dass in diesem Podcast jeder Mensch einfach er selbst sein darf. Da Deutsch sich für Jenna natürlicher angefühlt hat, haben wir dieses Interview ausnahmsweise auf Deutsch aufgenommen. Die regulären englischen Folgen bleiben natürlich weiterhin bestehen. In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Jenna Feldheim — Spiritual Life Coach, astrologische Mentorin und Redakteurin im astrologischen Online-Magazin von Phi Loves Astrology — über Astrologie, persönliche Freiheit und den Mut, den eigenen Weg zu gehen. Jenna teilt, wie Astrologie für sie zu einem Werkzeug der Selbsterkenntnis geworden ist: nicht als starres System, das bestimmt, wer wir sind, sondern als Spiegel unserer inneren Anlagen, Potenziale und Herausforderungen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Birth Charts uns helfen können, uns selbst tiefer zu verstehen, alte Muster bewusster wahrzunehmen und mehr Selbstakzeptanz zu entwickeln. Außerdem tauchen wir in Themen wie Vanlife, Freiheit und alternative Lebensentwürfe ein — und darüber, wie es sich anfühlt, ein Leben aufzubauen, das wirklich zur eigenen Energie passt. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, dir selbst ehrlicher zu begegnen, deiner eigenen Wahrheit mehr zu vertrauen und deinen ganz persönlichen Weg ernst zu nehmen.

22 | Let Yourself Be a Weird Human Sometimes

Comparison is one of the fastest ways to leave your own life. In this episode, I explore how easily we get pulled out of ourselves through social media, external standards, and constant self-evaluation — and how this disconnects us from what is actually real. At the core, this is about being human. Not optimized, not perfect, not constantly “healed” — just real, in process, and inherently different from everyone else. I talk about why comparison feels so automatic, why it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you, and how healing isn’t a linear upgrade path but a messy, alive experience. The invitation here is simple: come back to your own life. Not as an idea, but as something you actually inhabit.

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.
