Kindness: It’s a word we hear often. But are acknowledging its actual power?

In this podcast episode, we’re exploring the transformative impact of kindness on our personal and professional lives, as individuals and in our interactions with others.

We’re debunking myths that kindness is a weakness and equates to naivete.

Furthermore, we’re delving into the risks of selfish, ignorant and ruthless behaviors shown to us by others and vice versa.

Moreover, I’m sharing practical ways we can foster kindness in our daily life and create a positive ripple effect in our environment.

Love is a universal concept that’s existential to all living beings – yet one that can be too complex to define.

But did you know that according to Ancient Greek culture and language, there is not only one, but 6 different categories of ‘love’?

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, I’m taking you – Greek goddess – on a journey through the 6 different Ancient Greek concepts for love: agápē (pronunciation: ‘uh-GAH-peh’), érōs (pronunciation: ‘EH-ros’), philía (pronunciation: ‘fee-LEE-uh’), philautía (pronunciation: ‘fee-LAW-tee-uh’), storgē (pronunciation: ‘STOR-geh’), and xenía (pronunciation: ‘zeh-NEE-uh’). 

Each one of these concepts represents a unique form of love that can help us deepen our understanding of ourselves and our relationships with other fellow human beings and our environment.

Discover the fascinating origin and evolution of these historical, yet timeless concepts, how they apply to different kinds of relationships and interactions in different areas of life, and how you can leverage these insights in your personal growth journey. 

I’d be excited to learn about your opinion on and about your personal experience with the 6 different concepts of love. I’m inviting you to share your story via the contact form linked in the general podcast description. Let’s keep spreading some love, beautiful!

‘Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.’ – Lilo and Stitch (2002)

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we’re examining intergenerational trauma and healthy coping strategies allowing us to establish a more secure and satisfying future for ourselves moving forward, whilst replacing limiting belief systems of the past.

‘Intergenerational trauma’ can be defined as psychological and physiological trauma that’s caused to you as an individual – as the result of your older relatives’ and your ancestors’ coping strategies with their own traumatic experience.

I’d like to clarify that I’m not a practicing psychologist although I, amongst other programs, graduated in psychology. This podcast episode is based on my personal experience and on my friends’ experience.

As Joseph Jastrow, a Polish-born US-American psychologist and a specialist in optical illusions, once said:

'Your judgment is clouded by vague and meaningless information presented to sound specific to you.' Personally, I agree.

Have you ever felt that your astrology birth chart, especially your ascendant and moon, genuinely represents your personality? Yes, I have.

Have you ever felt that the crystal citrine, which is referred to as 'the Merchant’s Stone', contributed to you making one of your biggest dreams come true, which is launching a podcast of your own and releasing more than 100 podcast episodes? Yes, I have.

Have you ever felt that a tarot card reading predicted you encountering a person who would make a positive impact in your life – and later on, you actually have? Yes, I have.

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we’re demystifying the Barnum Effect – a captivating psychological effect that manipulates us into believing that general statements – such as those made in astrology, tarot card reading and non-scientific personality assessments – are in fact personalized to us and apply to no-on else than us.

We're learning about indicators allowing us to identify the Barnum Effect in the first place, the psychological framework explaining why and how it works, and healthy coping strategies to protect ourselves from its deceptive charm.

Furthermore, I'm sharing examples of how businesses including psychics use the Barnum Effect to lure in people like us.

Are you ready to uncover the truth with me?

On to you, goddess! Have you already experienced the Barnum Effect – whether that be through your own personal experience or indirectly through a person who’s close to you?

Do you consider yourself as someone who is able to have faith in something – without receiving any accurate, comprehensible and transparent physical evidence?

'Let's create paradise on Earth, but exclusively for those who worship me – those who do not worship me are completely useless.'

These chilling words shared by the leader of the South Korean 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus' (SCJ), Lee Man-hee, perfectly encapsulate the egocentric, megalomaniac and scrupulous mindset behind cult leaders.

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we're uncovering the dark psychology and manipulative tactics of cults.

We're focusing on three potentially harmful and relatively recent examples including 'Love Has Won' (also known as LHW, 'Galactic Federation of Light' and '5D Full Disclosure'), 'Aleph' (formerly known as 'Aum Shinrikyo') and the 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus' (SCJ). 

Let's dive deep into these three religious movements' history, belief systems as well as the manipulation tactics and controversies that exposed them for the cults that they truly are.

Most importantly, we're learning healthy coping strategies with cult recovery and cult deprogramming – whether we're cult members ourselves or we'd like to help out loved ones who are cult members.

On to you, goddess! What's your opinion on cults and if applicable, your experience with them?

In case you're celebrating Christmas I’m wishing you a Christmas celebration filled with inner peace, wisdom, a warm home, delicious food and heartfelt connection with people who genuinely lighten up your life and vice-versa, on Christmas and on all remaining days of the year!

Ever wondered why in some cases, it's challenging to quit something that’s clearly not working out?

Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, a friendship or a romantic relationship – a lot amongst us have experienced sticking to things due the feelings of guilt over the resources we've already invested in them including effort, money, attention and time.

This episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast breaks down the powerful psychological force behind the Sunk Cost Fallacy and how it impacts our mental and physical health, wellbeing, goals and relationships.

Remember goddess: you deserve to experience situations which enrich you with long-term health, well-being, success and love.

Letting go doesn't always equate to giving up. In some cases, letting go can mean moving forward with introspection, self-awareness, wisdom and strength towards a potential that aligns more strongly with your values and goals.

In this journey, you have the power to choose yourself over past investments that may no longer serve you.

Goddess, I would love to hear from you through the contact form linked in the general podcast description: What are your personal tips on how to successfully let go of something that no longer serves you?

'Mansplaining' is a neologism consisting of the words 'man explaining'. Mansplaining can be described as the act of a man explaining something to a woman in a condescending or patronizing manner, assuming she doesn’t know and understand the subject accurately and ignoring her own existing competencies and potential in this field.

'Manspreading' is the tendency for some men to sit with legs wide apart, taking up excessive space, especially in public areas, to the extent of not offering others personal space.

On an important note, I'm not generalizing men by assuming that all of them are mansplaining and manspreading, but I’m specifically referring to the group of men who indeed are.

Furthermore, I acknowledge that there are women who 'womansplain' in a similar way.

Moreover, the individuals who experience mansplaining and manspreading are not women only, but equally include non-binary people and other men who are not mansplaining and manspreading themselves and who also experience some other men’s 'toxic masculinity'.

This episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast is inviting you, goddess, to gain an in-depth and critical understanding of the mentally, emotionally and intellectually challenging and frustrating concepts of mansplaining and manspreading.

Furthermore, I’m sharing smart strategies on how to succeed in an environment polluted by toxic masculinity.

Have you gathered any experience with mansplaining and manspreading, queen? If so, what exactly did you experience and how did the situation make you feel? What piece of advice would you share with your younger self to manage this kind of situation effectively?

I would be delighted to learn about your personal story through the contact form linked in the general podcast description.

Ever wondered how the Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli – which was founded by the animator, filmmaker and manga artist Hayao Miyazaki – achieved global fandom?

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, I’m familiarizing you with the creative genius Miyazaki, the global and timeless legacy he built with Studio Ghibli and five lessons we can learn about creativity and business from the Japanese legend.

Ever wondered how HUMILITY can lead to growth on both a personal and professional level, life satisfaction, creativity and meaningful human connections – all at the same time?

In this episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we’re diving deep into the Scandinavian concept of the Law of Jante (in Danish and Norwegian: ‘Janteloven’, pronunciation: ‘yan-te-lo-ven’) – a set of cultural rules that encourages modesty, community-driven living, helpfulness and empathy.

I’m guiding you through the origins and evolution of this powerful concept, explaining how it has shaped Scandinavian culture, and showing how we can all apply Janteloven’s principles to our own everyday life. But it's not without its critics – together, we’re exploring where the Law of Jante holds us back as individuals and how to balance its teachings with our individual aspirations.

Beautiful, have you encountered people who inspired you – and even more so because they were down-to-earth? If so, how did that encounter make you feel?
