In the first half of the year, 2020 has been a year like no other and with ongoing Covid 19 panic and worldwide riots, it looks to be at least as turbulent in the second half.

He is an independent fund manager and the companies, in which he is a shareholder, are managing 1.5 Billion EUR of client money. Max Otte became widely known as he predicted the 2008 financial crisis in his 2006 book “Der Crash Kommt” and our talk about the world economy and current geopolitical developments also lead us to the smartest actions you can now take to protect your money during these times, that can be confusing and threatening without a deep understanding of the underlying drivers.

The current lockdown in most parts of the world has had a huge impact on artists. Whether, they are musicians, painters or poets, the lockdown abruptly stopped concerts, workshops, art galleries, museums, etc. and many artists experienced a sudden stop of their income. Fortunately, creativity is the core of art and therefore artists currently create new ways to express their art, new platforms to present their art and new channels to earn money with their art.
In this interview, I talk with Maras a rapper and poetry slam artist from France, who is also a coach for eloquence and poetry. Maras is the 2018 Red Bull Battle Rap Champion, the 2016 Vice-World Champion in Freestyle Rap and the 2014 National French Champion in Poetry Slam. He has performed on poetry slams as well as rap concerts and contests on all continents in French, English, German, Italian and even Japanese. Maras talks about his struggles, opportunities and visions in the current situation and embraces the positive aspects of the lockdown, while being aware of the dangers and risks.

True transformation is painful as it means something needs to die in order for something new to develop. Therefore, we often need extreme situations and challenges in order to grow and raise our awareness. The current lockdown in many parts of the world can mean hardship in terms of uncertainty, fear and unhappiness but also is an opportunity to focus on inner work in order to shift our consciousness. In fact, this is currently happening Globally and collectively. We are experiencing the great awakening. In this episode, I talk with Natalia Geiger, who has a very deep understanding of human consciousness. It was very interesting to talk to her as she is exactly describing spiritually what I see happening in our world politically and socially.
Natalia is a powerful, vibrating and compassionate woman and works as a transpersonal coach for life and leadership, helping individuals and organizations to change and evolve. She wants to contribute to the creation of a more conscious, compassionate and sustainable world. Natalia works with leaders and with individuals who want to live and lead from their essence with greater clarity, inner-freedom, well-being, courage, authenticity and fulfilment.
Some of the questions I ask Natalia:
- Are we currently experiencing a shift in human consciousness? (01:53)
- Will everybody use the lockdown to raise their awareness or will some distract themselves by watching Netflix, checking the news, etc. constantly? (06:49)
- Where do you see proofs for a collective shift in consciousness? (12:24)
- How will this change on a spiritual level manifest in the world? (15:22)
- Why don’t you fear that we are being driven into an Orwellian Society (30:01)
- Why can’t we remember our eternal “I AM” from before our birth? (37:44)
- Do you have goal in your spiritual journey? (42:50)
This talk with Natalia was powerful. She has a beautiful understanding of our deepest essence and talking to her made me feel hopeful, grateful and on a higher vibration.

One of the opportunities in the coronavirus phase is to use the time at home to discover and learn new things. In my view, conscious sexuality is one the most rewarding topics to get into during this time, because it makes you happy, it strengthens your immune system and it raises your awareness. If you discover conscious sexuality, you are astonished that so few people know or talk about something that is pure joy and accessible for everyone.
In this episode, I talk to Bibi Brzozka, who teaches energetic lovemaking, which some describe as gourmet sex, whereas the sex we learn from pornography is compared to junk food or lower vibration sex. I joined a jam-packed session of Bibi at the Summit 19 in LA, where she inspired me with her message. Bibi has had a successful career in banking & finance in high level corporate jobs around the world, including Wall Street, New York. At some point, when the life of performance, traveling, expansive hotels, shopping and shallow sex bored her, she started a journey to expand her consciousness and discovered energetic lovemaking, which she is now teaching to the world. Bibi lives today in Tulum, Mexico.
Some of the questions I ask Bibi Brzozka:
- How is the situation with Covid-19 in Tulum, Mexico right now? (01:51)
- How re you dealing emotionally with this situation (03:00)
- Coming from banking and finance, how did you discover the world of conscious sexuality? (08:52)
- Can you explain what it means that your consciousness expanded? (14:15)
- Is “normal” sex still part of energetic lovemaking? (17:33)
- Can you describe energetic lovemaking? What happens between people when they do it? (22:28)
- How can people develop from junk food sex to gourmet sex? (25:44)
- What do you do to have a full body orgasm? (35:58)
- Is it possible to receive 1:1 energetic lovemaking teaching from you? (39:48)
- Do you recommend for couples to learn together? (41:58)

Golf is a sport like no other. Whereas some even doubt that it is a sport, others use every minute they have to be on the course, play with friends or improve their game. Some think it is boring and for others it is the gate to a higher state of consciousness. If you go deeper into golf, you recognize, that it really has a meditative side to it, it demands high focus and concentration and it pushes you to not only reach high levels of body control, but also to control your breathing and your thoughts.
In this episode, I talk with Gaston Spithas, who is an Argentinian professional golf coach in Spain at the Costa del Sol and teaches players at every level on the various courts of Marbella, San Pedro de Alcantara and Estepona. Gaston is 31 years old and has basically started to play golf as soon as he could walk. He provides great insight into the mental side and the strategies of golf. These aspects are really fascinating for those interested in golf, already playing golf and also for those who seek inspiration for other areas of life, business or other sports.
Some of the questions I ask Gaston Spithas:
- Do you still have sex? (03:12)
- Golf was for a long time considered elite, old school and by some even boring. Has this changed in recent years? (04:36)
- What is so magical about golf (06:21)
- How do you teach people golf who start in their 30s, 40s or 50s? (12:12)
- How long does it take on average for someone who starts playing gold until they can play on an 18 hole course? (14:53)
- What are possible competitive golf strategies? (19:29)
- What does it mean to take risks in golf? (21:48)
- Is the mind game the real differentiator on the top level? (24:53)
- Is mental strength today taught systematically – and already to kids - in golf? (26:37)
- Is meditation used to improve mental skills? (30:15)
- How do you help players to change bad habits? (32:34)
- How do you help players to transform awareness into body intelligence? (35:36)
- What does it mean to be talented in golf? (38:03)

Acting is a fascinating industry and many dreamed to be an actor as a kid. So did I. Later in life, most of us give up on that dream for many different reasons. Then life goes on and it was just one of those childhood dreams to be an actor. But the beauty about the world that we are living in, is that we are never too old for anything anymore. If you are fascinated by acting and want to get access to the industry, this is possible. No matter if you are 20, 30, 40 or even older.
One great example for this is Jason Lazarus. Jason was always fascinated by acting but pursued another path in his professional life. When he reached a point where he really wanted to live his passion and go after his dreams, he re-discovered his fascination for the world of acting. He started the Inner City Actor’s podcast, where he interviews actors, directors and other professionals from this industry. His guests are inspiring, hungry and determined artists, mainly from London City. Now Jason is part of this world and adds value, builds up a network and gets inspiration from insiders constantly. Listen to this interview if you have a passion for the world of acting or if you find out how to enter any industry you want.
Some of the questions I ask Jason:
- How do actors become actors? Do you see certain patterns in their biographies or are there several different paths? (05:36)
- How are actors usually getting their jobs? (07:23)
- Do you interview directors, too (13:36)
- Can you start being an actor at an older age? (16:46)

As almost everything else in our world, marketing was radically disrupted by technology in this century. With highly sophisticated machine learning and big data analysis, the change will even be more profound in the future. The phenomenon where artificial intelligence buys and optimizes media based on data analysis is called programmatic marketing. Although most people outside the digital marketing space do not know what programmatic marketing is, it already effects the life of all of us. In this episode, David Lange explains programmatic marketing in a nutshell and describes some of the most impactful developments that we can expect in the future .
David Lange co-founded the programmatic marketing agency adlicious 6 years ago and grew it with his partner into an international player with 30 employees and offices in Hamburg and New York. David has studied in China and lived there for 1.5 years. After university, he took a job at one of the first programmatic marketing agencies and quickly learned how powerful it is. That is when he teamed up with one of his colleagues to start their own agency, adlicious.
Some of the questions I ask David:
- What did you learn about China when you lived there? (6:52)
- Why is programmatic marketing so powerful? (12:15)
- What is the advantage of programmatic marketing versus booking in media manually? (15:02)
- Although programmatic marketing is now very established, and many companies have their own teams. Why do they still hire you as an external agency instead of doing everything themselves? (18:46)
- How will you disrupti your own business to be prepared for the next decade? (21:21)

In this day and age, the requirements have changed massively and are continuing to do so. In this episode, I talk to leadership coach Birgit Kamps about the key characteristics of a modern CEO that can successfully lead a company in the 2020s.

As a leadership coach for CEOs, her outstanding skill is to help CEOs discover their blindspots and adjust them in order to increase the performance of themselves and their teams. Her podcast CEO Blindspots is a very special podcast because Birgit invites very successful CEOs who are humble and willing to talk about their vulnerability, struggles and weaknesses. Birgit is a top expert in assessing, coaching and improving CEOs and is frequently asked by private equity firms to evaluate potential candidates for them.

If you will be active in a business that is based on big emotions - for example sports or music - you will meet one special character by default: the creative hustler. The creative hustler is often behind the scenes but is a key player in the game, either pulling the strings, connecting people, making deals happen or consulting the visible players to create and execute their strategy. These could e.g. be player agents or lawyers in sports and label owners, A&Rs or artist managers in music. Very often, these creative hustlers are middlemen in a deal between two visible players. For me, these creative hustlers are the ultimate business artists.
Matt Schilt, aka Matt Fingaz, is one of those mysterious, charismatic and very important individuals who are professional creative hustlers. Listen to my interview with him to dive into this world and learn about the struggles, wins and learnings of his career in the entertainment business. He has great stories to tell about working with Snoop Dogg or Kanye West, his 7 to 8-year-long travel through the United States or his latest moves into the sports and movie business. This was really a high energy interview. If you listen to Matt you feel the hustle of NYC.
Some of the questions I ask Matt:
- Can you explain the normal process from someone calling you to have Kanye West or Busta Rhymes on their record to the song being on Spotify or Apple Music?? (06:57)
- How many records with Snoop have you coordinated? (13:10)
- How are the plans for your documentary? (15:51)
- In which city are you doing your movie industry degree? (20:47)
- Can you tell us the story about your 7 to 8-year-long travel through the US? (22:23)
- How did becoming father changed your life? (27:19)
- How do you work together with your mother on her creative projects? (30:37)
- What is your advice to a young kid, who wants to have a career in the entertainment business today? (39:15)

We are in a period of constant and exponential change. Technology is already disrupting large parts of our life and the speed is increasing rapidly. This scares many people as change is associated with discomfort, risk and potential losses. Actually, change also always provides exceptional opportunities for growth, wealth and success. In the future, it will be important to be able to accept change, live with change and adapt to change. Everything will change, our work, the way we move, communicate, learn, do business etc., etc. To be able to still access the feeling of security, being relaxed and full of hope while being in the middle of change is going to be a challenge but it is possible.
In this episode I talk to Ammar Ahmad who has launched his videos show and podcast Denmark Real last year. Ammar was born and raised in Iraq and moved to Denmark with his family at the age of 11. This obviously meant radical change very early in his life, adapting to a new language, a new culture, new friends and new values from one day to the other. After he managed to transform from an “alien” to a “player” in Denmark, he went through the struggles of many young people in our age and time. He started to study and stopped, he started in one industry and stopped, trying to find his purpose, his identity and a vision he can believe in.
This journey has led him through a phase of reading, listening to podcasts and personal development, where he found the answers he was looking for from people like Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Earl Nightingale, Jordan B. Peterson or Brian Rose.
Today, he wants to inspire others with Denmark Real.
Some of the questions I ask Ammar:
- How did you find the 60 seconds rule? (01:49)
- What was the first thing you did after you listened to Earl Nightingale? (04:29)
- Which change did the outward world perceive from you after your reprogramming? (07:58)
- Did you need to start Denmark Real to find out your purpose? (11:00)
- How was it to migrate from Iraq to Denmark with your family when you were 11 years old? (14:03)
- Did you have to go to school without any knowledge of the Danish language? (15:05)
- Can you describe the social game that was played at school? (17:20)
- How have the struggles of your youth shaped you? (20:39)
- Why did Jordan B. Peterson have such a big impact on you? (24:54)
- Is free speech and freethinking one of the major topics in your show? (29:57)
- What is the vision for Denmark Real (34:05)
It was very interesting to speak to Ammar and get into the minds of the 18 to 30 year-olds. I have a lot of sympathy for this young generation and they give me hope for the future. I hope you will experience the same when you listen to this interview.

You are an artist! Just go and make your art! Do it now!
Do not wait for someone to give you approval to show your art. Pull the trigger. You are an artist. Do not wait for perfection. Perfection is an excuse for procrastination. If you are not at least a little embarrassed when you show your art to the world, you waited too long. Fight the resistance. Put it out.
Jonas Myrin is a Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter, a singer, musician and artist. He is writing with the biggest artists of the planet and will release his own album in 2020. He went to America as a nobody in 2013 and is today one of the dopest songwriters in Los Angeles. We met in his incredible house in Hollywood and talked about the art of business, how to value your worth as an artist and how the biggest disappointment of his career was the start of his successful journey in America. Listen to this episode with Jonas Myrin. It will give you the courage and inspiration to show yourself, express yourself and embrace yourself.
Some of the questions I ask Jonas:
- How does it make you feel to wake up in the morning and see the Hollywood sign from your window? (01:05)
- Why are you so interested in people (02:49)
- Did you ever doubt the artist in yourself? (14:55)
- As someone with a very artistic soul and purpose, how did you grow into a businessman? (18:08)
- Do you negotiate? (23:44)
- Which advice would you give a young, aspiring artist? (23:58)
- After you have reached so much, what are your big dreams now? (36:19)
This interview with Jonas Myrin really thrilled me. He is not only an amazing musician; he has a big heart and he connects with people deeply. He is a great role model for people who want to embrace their kindness, their compassion and want to have the courage to connect with people with an open heart. His advice is to believe in the artist in yourself and don’t wait to make and show your art to the world.

People who follow me know that I started my career in the music business and I am still very much connected with it. It was a fascinating business when I started in the 90s and I think it is today again a very fascinating business as technology has changed the industry so much that I would call it today the music tech industry. Distribution channels, income streams and marketing strategies have changed and evolved dramatically in this century and of course the music and the artists, too.
In this episode, I talk to Alex Branson, a music business expert, who has been on the forefront of the digital transformation of the music business. After many executive roles, VP International at Ingrooves being the most prominent one, Alex is today an independent consultant, working on fascinating projects with Empire, Facebook, Beatport, Rotor Video and other companies. He has also launched his own music industry podcast ABC Music Talk. I gave Alex a hard time, going through his whole CV, as his career really leads us through all the big music biz changes of the century.
Some of the questions I ask Alex:
- Why did you leave Ingrooves? (31:57)
- Why did you decide to start your own business? (37:15)
- What is the difference in the life of an executive in the music business to the life of an entrepreneur? (42:07)
- How do you see the future of major labels? (46:17)
- After streaming, could you imagine what the next level of distribution could be? (55:55)
- What is your advice for someone who wants to start his career in the music business today? (1:11:28)
This talk with Alex was a great deep dive into the music industry and led us from the golden age in the 90s through the digital evolution into the new golden age, the music tech reality of today.

This episode with Natalia Geiger can change your life.
We are blessed as a species because we developed this incredible powerful mind that enables us to communicate among billions of people, discover and develop high technology in many different areas and create things, stories and ideas that did not exist before. However, the majority of human beings have forgotten what we really are and identify with their thoughts and their ego and as a result experience stress, anxiety and suffering. When the body is in stress, the body does not function as it is supposed to function. This often leads to depression, anxiety and many other diseases. Being aware of the simple truth that we are not our thoughts and not our body is the first step to jump into consciousness and start experiencing the path of love, presence and true happiness. All this I have learned in this episode from Natalia Geiger and although I have known most of it before, there is a huge difference between knowing about this wisdom and having experienced the truth of it. Natalia has experienced it. And you can feel it.
Her story is truly fascinating and inspiring. Natalia is a powerful, vibrating and compassionate woman and works as a transpersonal coach for life and leadership, helping individuals and organizations to change and evolve. This is far away from the state she was in after her father died of cancer when she was 13 years old. At this point in her life everything crashed for her. She was first diagnosed with depression, then with chronic anxiety and then with a food eating disorder. Later in her life, she has an injury and could not walk for 5 years! Listen to her powerful story and learn how she coped with the worst possible things she could imagine happening to her and then developed into the inspirational coach and role model she is today.
Some of the questions I ask Natalia:
- Could you please explain the inner work you did to discover your true essence? (17:18)
- What is this true essence, this consciousness that we are? Are we living in a simulation like Elon Musk believes or what is the reason for all these challenges on the path to awakening? (23:15)
- What exactly did you do that healed yourself? (29:30)
- Are you always in a state of Zen in everyday life? (33:24)
- How do you bring this awareness for spirituality, love and compassion into organizations and their leadership? (37:41)
- What is your way to contribute to the evolution of us all? (42:57)
- You help many people on their journey of healing and finding purpose, where do you take your energy from, what is your source? (44:18)
- Can you reveal the name of your spiritual guide? (45:06)
This talk with Natalia was powerful. She has a beautiful understanding of our deepest essence and talking to her made me feel hopeful, grateful and on a higher vibration.

In today’s world of polarized debates, black-and-white mainstream media and corporate spying, speaking your truth, expressing your beliefs and even freely thinking your thoughts is becoming challenging for many. The high growth of longform podcasts, that give people the platform to express their thoughts without interruption or framing is showing the need of humans for deep connection on the basis of truth, realness and freedom. If this is given, different opinions, challenging beliefs and confronting values rather have the function of facilitating a great discussion than leading to blaming, violent communication and “I am right, you are wrong” debates.
A podcast particular dedicated to free thinking and talking is the Freethinkers Allowed podcast by Marcos Corral. Marcos is an US army veteran, a firearm instructor, a cannabis advocate, a musician and the founder of Freethinkers Allowed. His mission is to hold space for people to think freely, express their thoughts and speak their truth. Marcos discovered who he really is and how to express his true self through cannabis. You might discover it through his podcast.
Some of the questions I ask Marcos:
- What does “know who you are” actually mean? (06:03)
- Many people want to speak their truth but are blocked by fear. How can they manage to break through this resistance? (08:50)
- How did you find out who you are? (11:14)
- When you smoked cannabis, it made you really introspective and revealed a lot of uncomfortable truth about yourself. Was it easy for you to handle this truth? (16:19)
- What kind of guests are you inviting to the Freethinkers Allowed podcast? (25:36)
- What do you mean when you say we are all still children and nobody is an adult? (29:22)
The interview with Marcos was very important for me. I do not know of any human right that is more essential than being able to think freely. But this right is in danger and we need platforms like Freethinkers Allowed to protect it.

Even if you are not a professional artist, there are powerful benefits of being creative and creating art. Creativity is a competitive advantage in business and many of the most successful entrepreneurs are also extremely creative people. Examples are Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Richard Branson or Gary Vee. On the other hand, many of the most successful artists are also extremely smart businesspeople. Think about Andy Warhol, Madonna, Jay Z or J.K. Rowling. True business artists. The intersection between art and business is so fascinating, as many people think that these two domains are rather contradictory. Rebecca Schweiger, founder & CEO of The Art Studio New York, has made art her business and she helps people to get access to their creativity and unleash it.
Rebecca founded The Art Studio New York 15 years ago in her 1-bedroom apartment and build it up to a unique institution that does more than 100 classes a week in its beautiful studio in Manhattan. When Rebecca studied art and experienced how she was growing personally and spiritually through her creative work, she wondered why this wonderful practice was such a private club and only reserved for people who want to become professional artists. She also discovered what is today proven by neuroscience, that creating art has the power to change the brain from whatever state it is in to a much happier and healthier version. That was when she decided to found an art studio that gives everybody the opportunity to discover their inner artist.

Everybody is aware of feminism. But many are still unaware of the growing masculinity movement, which already is a Global phenomenon. And this masculinity is not toxic but aware, healthy, loving and strong. The concept of healthy or sacred masculinity was never taught to us, so now it is time.
At the core of this movement is the insight that men need other men that they can trust. Based on this brotherhood, men can develop a deep connection to their emotions, live in integrity and true to their purpose.
Stefanos Sifandos helps male business leaders to feel freedom in their business and personal lives. He shows his clients how to be a healthy masculine man in contemporary times, who is respected by his friends and coworkers and adored by his family and lover. He himself went through an emotionally and physically abusive upbringing and transformed from being passive, withdrawn and shy, to being violent, hyper-aggressive, self-absorbed and ego driven to being self-aware, purposeful and inspiring to others today.
Stefanos has worked with Olympic gold medalists and world-class fighters, including several world champions. He is leveraging physical challenge as an opportunity for transformation and growth and has deep insight into the male and masculine condition. He is part of the Sacred Sons, a collective that helps men heal and awaken to their true power.
Some of the questions I ask Stefanos Sifandos:
- Can you please explain the sacred masculinity movement? (04:49)
- What is your view on the polarity between women and men in current Western culture? (11:00)
- How can men overcome the addiction to distraction? (15:27)
- What is a healthy way to relate to porn? (17:32)
- Why is it important not too ejaculate too often? (23:03)
- How did your attitude and behavior towards women change? (26:52)
- How does your consciousness impact your decision making and strategy in business? (36:05)
- What is your view on monogamous vs. non-monogamous relationships (37:31)
- What is behind the concept behind the Conscious Warrior and the Reclaim Your Kingdom programmes? (42:32)
- What is the ideal female match for a Conscious Warrior? (44:03)
- Why is Jordan Peterson such an important person in the masculinity movement? (46:25)
I really enjoyed this talk with Stefanos. He is a role-model for men and embodies strength, self-awareness and integrity.

Today, scientists agree that our movement is connected to our brains. The way you move impacts how your brain functions. And there is an intelligence in your body, in your movements, in your muscles that you can access and improve. Having high body intelligence will help you with any endeavour, for example to build your business, to heal yourself if you have injuries or a disease and even not to get sick in the first place. There are several paths to working on your body intelligence. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Tacfit are two very powerful ones, that we will take a close look at, together with Alberto Crane.

Alberto has healed himself through movement and is today in his full power and in the best shape of his life. He extremely active with Tacfit, with being head couch and owner of Legacy, his Los Angeles-based martial arts and fitness school as well as his own podcast and YouTube show.
Some of the questions I ask Alberto:

- Can you tell us more about Tacfit? (10:30)
- How can you start with Tacfit? (12:41)
- How is the brain involved in the movement (13:46)

I wanted to do a podcast for a long time, but I had many open questions in my mind, that stopped me from starting. Questions like “how shall I call it?”, “which topic shall I use?”, “should I protect my name first?”, “can I do it in English with my accent?” and “how do I even do a podcast?”. These thoughts were running in my mind without any useful answer and hold me back from starting. The breakthrough for me was when I joined the Broadcast Yourself course from London Real. At the end of the course, Brian Rose interviewed me in the London Real studios and asked me questions about Broadcast Yourself, my podcast and my journey. This is an extremely valuable episode for anyone who is interested in starting their own podcast or wants to start a dream project but does not know how to start.
Brian Rose is a former Wall Street banker turned broadcaster. Brian has an engineering degree from MIT and started the podcast London Real in 2011. Today, London Real is one of the most relevant podcasts and video interview shows with more than 1.2M YouTube subscribers, millions of downloads and guests like Dr. Joe Dispenza, Andreas Antonopoulos, Mantak Chia, Gary Vee, Tim Ferris and Lewis Howes, just to name a few.
Some of the questions Brian Rose asks me:
- Why did you want to start a podcast now? (02:33)
- What is the first week of Broadcast Yourself like? (05:50)
- What kind of barriers did you have to overcome when starting your podcast? (06:40)
- How did doing vlogs contribute to your learning process? (07:38)
- What was the most challenging part of the course (09:09)
- What was your first big win? (10:18)
- Tell me about your podcast and what is your micro-niche? (11.46)
- What was the coolest thing that happened to you since you started the podcast? (14:51)
- How does your podcast look like in 5 years, what do you want this to become? (20:33)
- How was the Jan that did not do this podcast different to the Jan that started it (23:26)
I really enjoyed the interview with Brian Rose. Being in the London Real studios, sitting on the same leather armchairs as the names I mentioned above and all the other amazing role models of mine.

Showing your feelings, expressing your feelings and even feeling your feelings is a quality that has not been encouraged in our society for a very long time. We are even trained not to feel “negative” emotions like sadness, rage, or frustration. In reality, feeling these emotions is liberating and necessary to also feels bliss and joy and fully feel alive. Many of us cannot access this liveliness as we have built up defense mechanisms that block us from our own vulnerability and thus from feeling our emotions. This leads to failure, numbness, unhappiness and even sickness. When you are vulnerable, when you feel your feelings and heal your deep wounds, you will discover your true purpose, you will access your life energy and you will create the live you dream about.
