In this heartfelt and fiery conversation, we dive into the complex emotional terrain of modern relationships, gender roles, and the silent pressures we often carry. From a feminine perspective, Fern shares her raw feelings around societal expectations placed on men—especially the weight of the “provider” role—and how women can unintentionally contribute to shame and disconnection by holding onto outdated standards. Together, we explore how to create relationships that are balanced, emotionally safe, and deeply authentic.

Maxim offers a powerful reflection from the masculine perspective—speaking vulnerably to the internalized pressure to always “have it together,” and how deeply healing it is when men are met with space to be soft, open, and real without judgment.

This episode invites you into a dialogue about reclaiming vulnerability, honoring the king and queen within ourselves and each other, and reimagining partnership beyond roles and pressure. What if true connection comes not from perfection, but from presence? From allowing tears, truth, and tenderness to be part of the dance?

Whether you're in a partnership or navigating your own self-healing journey, this conversation will inspire you to meet others with compassion, question the stories you've been handed, and open up space for deeper love—starting with yourself.

Themes We Explore

• Reimagining gender roles in relationships
• Creating a safe space for men to express vulnerability
• Seeing men as kings, even in their messiest moments
• Moving beyond shame and unrealistic expectations
• The expectation of being a “provider” and redefining what that really means

• Compassion for wounded perspectives around masculinity

Welcome to a joyful, no-filter exploration of what it really means to live, love, and grow as the masterpiece you already are (spoiler: no perfection required) and how you can still be an artwork in progress at the same time.

This series takes you on a ride through heartfelt stories, quirky lessons, and some real talk about navigating life’s curveballs. From Maxim turning a song release into a creative triumph to the brain-bending experience of being virgin land and homeowners, we dive into surrendering control and letting the magic of flow take over.

We’ll explore how mistakes (yes, those cringe-worthy ones) make us more lovable, how seeing others in their highest light changes relationships, and why it’s totally okay to learn life lessons from Netflix. Think of it as a guide to ditching the pressure to have it all figured out, while having some fun along the way. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance the weight of adulting with the joy of simply being, you’re in the right place. Life’s messy, beautiful, and uniquely yours—let’s celebrate that!

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative world of money mindset and how it shapes our lives. We start with a heartfelt message that touched us deeply before introducing today’s special topic: wealth mindset vs. scarcity thinking and why we felt called to explore it.

We share personal stories about how our upbringings shaped our beliefs about money, from working hard to “earn it” to balancing the joy of spending with the discipline of saving. Together, we open up about our journey toward financial freedom as a couple, revealing how we balanced vastly different approaches to money and found harmony in saving, spending, and investing.

We discuss merging belief systems and how one of us finds safety in investing while the other finds freedom in spending for pleasure—and how that balance strengthens our partnership. We also touch on investing in intangible assets like cryptocurrency and the Swiss approach to building wealth, along with practical tips on creating systems for earnings, investments, and joyful spending.

By the end of this episode, we share powerful takeaways, including a master strategy for attracting abundance and the joy of rethinking outdated beliefs about money. If money were a lover, how would you treat it? Let’s find out together.

In this heartfelt episode, we dive into humanity's most enduring question: What is my purpose? Join me and my partner, Fern, as we unravel the pivotal moments that have illuminated our paths and led us closer to our true calling. Through personal stories, lessons from childhood, and surprising life shifts, we share an honest and practical “masterclass” in finding clarity and courage on the journey to purpose.

Together, we explore the roots of our self-inquiry, uncover childhood dreams, and discuss how we embraced the natural flow of abundance. From building seed capital while living “double lives” to taking leaps of faith — from Fern's promising career on Wall Street to teaching in yoga studios or from Maxim's comfortable life in the start-up tech world in Berlin to living his dream as a musician in the jungle of Costa Rica — we reflect on the transformative power of experimentation, self-trust, and aligning with what lights us up.

You’ll hear about our influences, our challenges with burnout, and powerful realizations—like fainting in the NYC subway and the “lighthouse moment” that shifted everything. Plus, discover practical prompts to guide your own path to purpose, no matter where you are on your journey.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, courage, or a new way to connect with your calling, this episode offers insights, inspiration, and encouragement to help you live with intention.

In this episode, Fern Olivia and Maxim Marlo delve into the realities behind moving to your dream location and whether paradise truly brings happiness. They explore how the idea of “paradise” shifted for each of them over time, as their personal growth reshaped their desires and understanding of what feels like home. Fern shares her journey of transformation, from a high-energy Wall Street environment to embodying a more grounded, feminine energy in Los Angeles, and how this led her to a new paradise altogether in Costa Rica. Maxim reflects on how he felt at home in London before his life took an unexpected direction, which led him on a journey of contrast, self-discovery, and a renewed inspiration to explore “open horizons”.

A central theme emerges around finding home within oneself, especially when external environments fail to bring immediate happiness. They discuss the powerful, sometimes unexpected feelings of sadness and disconnection that can arise even in the most beautiful places and how they learned to navigate these feelings without judgment or shame. Maxim shares his journey of grounding himself on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, where he cultivated resilience and a calm mindset in facing life’s challenges.

Fern and Maxim share powerful insights on the “initiation,” learning to discern between challenges that are growth opportunities versus signals to move on, and how to embrace the flow of change with both hands open.
