Making Sense of Life’s Experiences: From ’WTF’ to ’Aha!’

Life can be a wild ride, full of unexpected twists that leave us shouting, "WTF!" Yet just like a rollercoaster ride there can be ' breathtaking ‘Aha!' moments too.
In my latest podcast, we're tackling the art of making sense of it all – from the confusing 'WTF' to the eye-opening 'Aha!'
Join me as we explore:
Why the strong urge to make sense of life's curveballs?
The secrets to turning head-scratching 'WTF' moments into lightbulb 'Aha!' revelations.
The questions you should be asking yourself to shift your perspective and move through the confusion to clarity.
I'll also share a personal story that sheds light on how questioning the 'why' can lead to more heartache, demonstrating how our brains work overtime to make sense of tough situations.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Rage, Rants, and Recovery: Finding Your Inner Zen

In this episode, I dive into the world of anger and rage – those powerful emotions that can really shake things up in our relationships, wellbeing, and how we see ourselves.
I clear up a common misunderstanding about anger – it's not always a bad thing; it's more about not handling it well. Plus, I'll spill some of my own stories about what sets me off, highlighting how understanding your triggers can be a game-changer for personal growth.
I also explain how my #memyselfandi Mastery Program helps participants explore where their anger comes from, uncover patterns and triggers, leading to better self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
The goal of this podcast is simple: by openly discussing the intensity of anger and sharing tips on how to handle it, I aim to help you feel more in control of your emotions and on the road to better emotional wellbeing.

Episode 53: Stop clinging to self-limiting beliefs

Beliefs are powerful and necessary. They govern our societies, our day-to-day lives but also our inner lives, our thoughts, hopes, plans, and relationships.
You believe that the plane will leave the runway or that the sun will come up tomorrow. There are even things you can believe despite logic (like winning the lotto).
But no matter who you are, how well you are educated or what you have been through no one is immune to irrational or self-limiting beliefs.
Listen to this episode to find out how self-limiting beliefs are formed and learn some strategies to manage them.

Episode 52: Patterning in relationships

It’s easy for human beings to get stuck in patterns. Our brains love routine and habit. The problem is that many of us can get stuck with unhealthy habits and wiring without even knowing it.
Patterns drive our subconscious decisions, meaning we are not fully aware of the driver – we just end up at the destination. Nothing highlights this more than relationships.
In this episode I’ll discuss patterning with a focus on relationships and how these patterns end up dictating the kind of people we have relationships with, how we interact with them and how we let them treat us.
