You're in for a real treat! In this episode I speak with Holly Teska, co-host of the Podcast 'Uplifting Women' about her journey to success, what she's learned along the way and the advice she has for anyone who is set on a similar path today.
A few months ago, I responded to Holly's post, looking for people to join her as a guest on her podcast 'Uplifting Women'. Little did I know that we would end up having such a soul-aligned conversation, that it seemed we had known each other for years. I had such an amazing time chatting with Holly during the recording. Having lived through a similar journey, and being able to relate to one another on so many levels, I decided I HAD to have Holly come back to speak on 'Achieve in Flow', so we could continue the conversation. This time, of course, so that Holly could share her success story with all of you.
Tune into the episode now for this inspiring conversation on Holly Teska's success story.

It's been a turbulent few months in the workplace. Not only are companies laying off employees left, right and center, they're also asking people to come back to the office more days in the week.
What does that mean for employers and employees?
In this episode, we explore the challenges of returning to the office as employers request their employees (in some cases coercively) to come back to the workplace.
This episode I go deeper into how the hybrid workplace can impact mental wellbeing and share my insights on how to prioritise mental health in this new normal. We'll delve into the strategies that can help employees, leaders and peers cope with the changes and uncertainties of the hybrid workplace, and provide actionable tips to help employers support their workforce's mental health.
Tune in to gain valuable insights on navigating the new normal of the hybrid workplace.

Welcome to another episode of "Achieve in Flow, with Kiona van Griensven"!
I am so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Rebecca Bowden, a relationship and self-love coach who has truly transformed her life by discovering and connecting with her 'Essence.'
Rebecca's journey from the corporate world to becoming a spiritual guide is truly inspiring. She has a unique perspective on the importance of understanding and connecting with ourselves and the people around us from a place of love, in order to achieve true fulfillment in our relationships and in our lives. In this episode, Rebecca shares her wisdom and tips on how to let go of societal expectations and societal pressure and how to build a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Listen as Rebecca explains whythe word essence has a special meaning for her.
Rebecca's corporate background has certainly influenced her coaching style and it is evident in the way she is able to connect with her clients. She is able to understand the pressures and challenges that come with the corporate world and how it can affect our relationships and self-love. Her tips on how to connect with our own essence and understanding our true desires are truly valuable and can be applied to anyone's life.
Rebecca also emphasises the role of self-love in attracting healthy relationships. She explains that when we truly love and accept ourselves, we attract people who also love and accept us for who we are.
As a coach, Rebecca is a powerful and inspiring woman and I am so grateful to have her as an inspiration, coach, friend, and to have the opportunity to welcome her onto the show. Her story and her insights will certainly inspire you to connect with your own essence and build a life that is truly authentic and fulfilling.

Life is uncertain, and with uncertainty comes both fear for what;'s to come, and excitement for what life might look like.
The pandemic has changed the way we all approach our daily lives. While close contact services disappeared for a while, even our beloved Massage Therapists had to close their businesses for a while, one person decided to make the struggle her gain.
Viv Richards has put the pandemic to use in the best way for her and her future and asked herself: What's next?
And the answer came to her in the form of coaching.
In this intimate conversation, they talk about what success looks like in the face of uncertainty, in light of the pandemic, and how to take the positive out of the negative experiences.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and dependent on others for your daily needs?
Have you ever wondered what it really means to be independent?
Does it mean living without the need for others, or does it mean something else entirely?
I know how it feels to be stuck in a cycle of dependency, but it doesn't have to be that way. For those who are new to the newsletter, I'm Kiona van Griensven, a private coach dedicated to helping you take control of your life.
In my podcast episode "The Power of Independent Living", I explore the concept of independence, discuss how to break free from dependency and take ownership over your life. I believe everyone deserves the power to make their own decisions.
Don't wait any longer - learn how to take control of your life today!
Tune in to find out what it really means to be independent, and how living independently can help you create a life of self-reliance and freedom.
In a world where authenticity is becoming more and more important, companies are looking for different ways to help employees be authentic.
In the workplace, one of the most important things you can do it to be yourself as much as humanly (and spiritually) possible. You need to show your true self in order for others to see who you really are. Not only will it help them feel more comfortable around you, it will make them want to work with you as well as trust what you say.
In the second interview of the series with Deniz Chakarova we touch upon how Deniz has mastered staying authentic to a tee, what her journey looked like and where she is now as a result of her journey.
Deniz is a beautiful human being, who's focus is on feeling good in every aspect of the word.
Not only will you hear about Deniz's success story, you're also being treated to a GOLD MINE of amazing tips and tricks Deniz has learned along the way.
Enjoy!

Over the years, I have changed my mind about success more than I can count LOL
Growing up I kinda wanted to be successful, but I wasn't what you would call an A+ student, and frankly, I didn't really care that much about the grades anyway..!
At the time I was chasing happiness in anything and everything that I enjoyed doing.
And you know what?
I think I got it right back then, so that's exactly what I'm doing now!
I may have lost myself in the process of chasing success a few times along the way, but it's good to know you can always find your way back to where you're supposed to be, don't you think? ;-)
If you believe you can always pivot, turn, flip and redo and change the way you live you life at any given time, you're in for a treat!
In this episode I dive into my TOP 5 Philosophies for success.
Here's a sneek peek of the first one.
1. You have no control over other people's behaviour., but..
2. L..
3. P..
4. F..
5. D..
Can you guess the others?
Look back on your own search for success, what have you been going after that you just enjoyed doing?
DM me your philosophies for success!

If you had asked me 3 years ago what success meant to me, I would have said that it's achieving the role of Strategic Account Manager and owning a house in Hampstead, UK.
If you asked me that now, I would say it's overall happiness with the life I choose to live, regardless of what I own or the value of my belongings.
A lot has changed since I started out on my journey of entrepreneurship.
What I classify as success now is not so much related to what I can buy, it's related to how connected I am to myself, my desires, my wants and how much joy I have in doing what I love, while being the person I desire to be.
Success has a different meaning for every single person on this planet and beyond, which is why I decided to open up my podcast platform to share the story of people close to me, who have something to say about how success has shaped their life.
Not only will I dive deep into the meaning of success with every guest I speak with, we will also touch upon pitfalls, and who and what has inspired them along the way.
In this episode you will get to know my good friend Dounia Zeghadi.
Dounia showcases what I like to call humble confidence, a peaceful calm and a steady drive to do the things she loves most in life. Her friendship has helped me gain perspective on what was important for me more times than I can count, and I genuinly believe that Dounia is the type of person who can accomplish anything she wants in life.
I'm excited for you to hear her story!

I'm baaaack! I bet you've been wondering where I've been hiding these past 9/10 months. In this episode I'm going to tell you all about it. So settle in, grab a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy the ride.
After almost a year of silence, I'm here to share my life lessons, show up and be vulnerable with you again.
In this episode you will hear all about how I've spent my time these last 10 months, what's been keeping me from releasing episodes, what I've learnt and what's going to come next.
If, like me, you've been feeling disconnected recently, or scared to own your truth and be vulnerable with the outside world, you're going to love listening to this episode.
If my story resonates with you and where you are right now, reach out to me and let me help you find relief.
You're not alone. I've got you!

Setting goals, taking action, and achieving your goals comes with its ups and downs. And when failure happens, or we make mistakes, we often get discouraged and if we're not careful, we may even end up giving up on our dreams.
The way I see it, we have two choices. Sulk in shame, or step into the light.
This episode goes into both of these options, and explores what is means to shine light on the shame we feel about a failure or mistake.
If you were looking for a little pick-me-up today, this is just what you need!
With Love,
Kiona Xx

Whenever we are on the verge of taking the next step in life, we often seek for guidance. Often we will ask the people around us for advice, or for feedback, to gauge whether the step we are thinking of taking is the right one for us.
It's understandable to want to seek validation for the decision we're about to take. But there's one key aspect of validation that we need to remind ourselves of when we do, and that is whether the validation we're seeking is outwards, or inwards.
While asking for feedback is a good approach to take, ultimately you are the only person who can really decide what's right for you, aren't you?
Of course, this is provided you are seeking that guidance from within, and not based on social constructs.
This episode digs deeper into what validation is, how we can ensure we validate ourselves from within, and when to involve validation from others.
Enjoy!
With Love,
Kiona Xx

Ever heard of a Sound Bath?
If you're like most people, you probably don't know exactly what to expect. And to be honest, my first and second experience weren't exactly winning me over right away. It actually wasn't until I went to another one the other day that I fully immersed myself into it and felt the effects of it throughout every fibre of my being.
This episode goes into further detail about what a Sound Bath is, what effect it can have on you, how it can help you find balance and reset the energy in your body.
I also tell you about my most recent experience with it, and how powerful it turned out to be.
Sit back, or go out for a walk, plug in your headphones and get settled in for this soothing episode.

"I just want to be happy!"
"I'll be happy when I own.."
"Reaching X level in my career will make me feel happy."
You will have either said, or heard all of these statements at some point in your life. And you will have formed a thought or opinion about those statements over time as well. But what does happiness truly mean, for you? What does it mean for you to live a happy life, versus a meaningful life? And how what effect are the machines in your life having on your happiness?
In this episode I dig into a personal journey of changing my perspective on happiness.

Have you ever wanted to address something that bothered you and ended up in a full-blown argument with someone?
Yeah, me too.. No fun in that at all, is there!?
When it comes to communication, there's a lot of information to be found, but what I've learned is that the most important aspect of communication is the intention with which we go into a conversation.
Going into a conversation with the intention of informing someone about your perspective from a place of love, will always give you a better chance of communicating effectively. Going into a conversation from a place of frustration however, will alsmot without fail lead to the wrong results.
In this episode I take you through how assessing your communication style can benefit the way your message is received.

Life has started to feel hectic again, I'm sure you can feel it too!
Recently, a lot of my clients started talking to me about how hectic life is, now that we're all continuing life as usual. Getting up earlier on days we plan to go into the office, meeting up with friends for dinners, drinks, cinema, theatre and what not, and getting home late after a long day at work, catching up with colleagues and making the most out of the time we get to spend together again IRL.
When someone said to me the other day; "I don't know how I used to do it!" it made me think about what I could do to help, and this resulted in a meditation that will provide you the space to tune into the unlimited source of energy we are all connected to, and to start the day off really, really well.
Sit back, relax and tune into stillness here and now, and if you'd like access to it wherever you are, I've included a link to download it on your device too!

As we grow up, we gather experiences that make us who we are. And as we gather more experiences, we start holding onto them in our little 'backpacks'. If you're in tune with your identity and you've worked on developing a solid mindset, you'll be able to discard whatever doesn't serve you. If however, your mindset is less well-developed there's a chance you end up carrying around more than is good for you. Enter, the Elephant on your Shoulders..
I love using this metaphor because it really brings my point home.
When we think about carrying a backpack we may think; "Oh, that's fine, it's not that heavy, I can take it." But when we think about carrying an Elephant on our shoulders, we immediately see a problem; "How the heck am I going to even move with that on my shoulders? That's impossible!"
This episode tunes into the concept of carrying our past and how releasing our past can help empower our soul so we can live with love & light.
Don't forget to sign up for the Masterclass via the link below for the ULTIMATE experience of releasing your past!
Enjoy!
