The first episode of podcast Het Motorblok. I speak with Daniela Russo. Daniela is a former lawyer, like myself. She is a happiness coach, based in Amsterdam. She is knowledgeable on how you contain your energy during the day. And in general: how to be happy person. And she is! She practices what she preaches.

An inspiring person with great vibes, she is energetic and at the same time wise and calming.

In this podcast we talk about how journey, from ambitious lawyer to someone who focuses solely on personal growth and takes it seriously. She is dedicated. I asked her first of all happiness – isn’t that an illusion? She explains that, if you ask her, everything starts with having your own values clear. I like that.  Daniela went to an Ashram in India. A journey that completely changed her mind. Strap your seatbelt. Daniela is Italian, so she speaks faster than you can say 'pizza'.

We spoke about: her mediation routine; her ideas about money; Ayurveda and her experience with yoga and the teachings of Sadhguru.
