In today's episode we dive into the reality of co-existing with worries, anxieties and difficult life circumstances. I share 4 steps that I have learned can help create inner peace, mental calm and happiness - even when life gets tough. Is it really possible to be happy - to create inner peace, even though we have negative feelings and situations in our lives? YES! At least that's what I've discovered and truly believe. We will all always have a "mess basket" living with us, in our mi...

Wouldn’t it be nice to allow ourselves some room for imperfection? We can all be so hard on ourselves when things don’t go the way we imagined them or wished them. We blame ourselves, we feel as though we’ve failed or as though we haven’t done, or even aren’t, enough. In this episode I wanted to like to talk us through some ways we can learn to be more gentle with ourselves, ways we can handle setbacks without feeling shameful and guilty. Wouldn’t it be nice to allow ourselves to go th...

Do you also live out most of your days feeling overwhelmed with obligation and responsibilities, leaving you little time for joys and a feeling of freedom? Yes, me too. In fact, I think most of us continuously try to manage our lives with this heavy feeling weighing down on us and a wonder and desire for more joy and less pressure. What is it about our daily lives, about the way we’ve set up our lives that leaves us with this constricting feeling? In today's episode we dive into the ba...

It’s a safe place I created for us to get vulnerable, to find comfort and to make connections with anyone who can relate to what we go through with our messy and beautiful minds. In today's Episode I tell you all about what the h*ll happened to me (again), how depression and anxiety got the better of me, and h...

My personal story of when I was young, I had no self esteem and was extremely shy. I never talked in class, I never believed I would be anything special and I would NEVER do anything that put me as the centre of attention. I would have definitely NEVER EVER believed you if you told me the 10 years later, I would be moving abroad by myself, going out to meet strangers and organising meet-ups (despite my social anxiety). So how did I make all this happen? How can YOU make this happen? Because y...

It's a total cliché, but for a reason, right? Even though life takes you through ups and downs, throws you some curveballs or just generally sucks - you can still maintain your happiness, calmness and hopefulness. How? In this episode I take you through some of my personal experiences, thoughts and lessons. Life is not about avoiding the downs (that's just lot possible or realistic), instead it's about going through your downs with grace, patience and kindness towards yourself (and lif...

I used to think being an introvert was something to be ashamed of. I thought that being introverted and everything that came with it equalled being weak and insecure. Oh boy, was I wrong! Since learning about what being an introvert really means - I have never felt more powerful and more confident saying it out loud. I have honestly never felt more in tune with myself - I feel proud, strong and safe in knowing why I am the way I am and how to prioritise my time and energy for a balance...

Well guys, the title says it all. As messy minds, we have a tendency to overthink and overanalyse to the point of tripping our own feet. It's not easy to navigate waves of thoughts in a new relationship, but in this episode I share some points on how to reflect on our own behaviours and how to grow a new relation in a healthy direction. I am in NO way a relationship expert (I think that's clear from my other dating episodes hehe), but these are things I've learned along the way and ways I'm ...

Welcome to 2022 with “Happy Messy Mind”! I wanted to kick of this new year with an episode all about starting a new year, resolutions and my own personal goals.

I thought that I needed to wait until I was past my insecurities to share my journey. I thought that I should only share if people’s words couldn’t hurt me anymore. But my whole message is to fight our way through the fear, that we’re capable of much more than we ever imagine or believe about ourselves. I am also realising that the most powerful way of inspiring others is to be vulnerable. So, here we are, I’m fucking terrified, but this is what I need to do. In this episode I’m sharing...

Do you ever have certain things that you really want to do or experience, but you don't have anyone to do it with? You've also convinced yourself that you can't or shouldn't do it alone, or you feel anxious or uncomfortable by the thought of doing it alone and therefore you just miss out and never do it?
