  • Sophie Burns - How to Truly Thrive and Welcome the Gifts of Life

    "There is a cosmic symphony with the most beautiful instruments ever playing upon us."


    Beautiful people, today I bring you a conversation with an absolute powerhouse of a woman: Sophie Burns. In her own words, Sophie is a love coach specializing in liberation and empowerment through self-love, sexuality, and spirit. I first discovered Sophie through a viral TikTok in which she told the story of an adventurous trip to Europe, which led her to fully surrender and let the flow of life take over. I was struck by Sophie's sincere and deeply joyful demeanor, how effortlessly she shares deep life wisdom, and her radiating glow of divine feminine energy. It was a very lovely conversation and contains tons of valuable information for all genders on how to reconnect with your inner kingdom and live the fullest life you possibly can during this incarnation.


    👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as:

    - Radical honesty
    - Worthiness & Self-love
    - Living with privilege, shame and guilt
    - (Inner) Freedom and returning to the body
    - Returning to the feminine
    - Finding refuge in your own body
    - Purpose
    - Responsibilities of a facilitator

  • David Ramirez - Creating Honest and Vulnerable Art

    "The challenge is not to get addicted to the hardship."


    Soul family, we're back at it in full swing, and I'm happy as a kid to present today's guest: David Ramirez. David is one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time, and his music has accompanied me through so many valleys and peaks of my life. Based in Austin, TX, David is truly one of a kind. A true artist, if you ask me. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and I'm beyond grateful for his willingness to delve into those "deeper" places of his personal history with me in this conversation. I know very few musicians today who put themselves out there as unapologetically as David does. This is a beautiful, tender, and honest conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


    👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as:

    - Early days, struggles and the start of a career
    - The suffering artist
    - The power of vulnerability
    - The status quo of the music industry and artistry today
    - David's excitement, plans and vision for the future
    - Current state of the world
    - What does it take to create meaningful art?
    - Religion, faith and spirituality

      • Justin Lovato - Be Still

        "Can you stay open through all situations?"

        Hello, soul family! I know it has been longer than usual, but there's a lot going on in my human experience at the moment (more on that in the podcast). I'm so grateful for this outlet here. You have no idea. Today's conversation was so soul-nurturing and powerful for me, and I hope it'll also bring some love, clarity, and peace into your life. I spoke with Justin Lovato. Justin is a former bodybuilder, breathwork and meditation facilitator, sacred space holder, and awakened Being. He's the founder of 'Nirvana Mind Body,' and he's one of those guys you look at and go: "I want what he has." At least, that's how it was for me. I was struck by Justin's clear, calm, and nonchalant way of talking about enlightenment and awakening to your true nature, and I wanted to find out more about his context and journey, his meditation practice, his work, and his relationship to others and much more. I really liked this episode and Justin's energy - we really vibed, and I appreciate his work tremendously. So have fun with this one, namaste!
        👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as:

        • Justin’s journey and context
        • Enlightenment and how to achieve it
        • "The person" and the beauty of our human experience
        • Justin’s meditation practice
        • Opening & closing of the heart
        • Original thoughts & “downloads” from the universe
        • Why and how we got lost
        • Conscious consumerism
        • Abuse & generational trauma

          • Kirk Baltz - You Are Enough

            "Being a creative gave me a purpose."


            Hello beautiful souls and welcome to another very special, deep, raw, and powerful conversation. Today, I had the pleasure of talking to Kirk Baltz, an American actor, writer, and coach. His work ranges from his breakthrough role in Quentin Tarantino's debut film "Reservoir Dogs" to playing alongside Kevin Costner in "Dances With Wolves", his role in "Natural Born Killers", to countless appearances on shows like "NCIS", "Without a Trace", or "24". Kirk and I met in Munich, a special city for both of us. In fact, we met each other for the first time in real-life after having worked together during COVID in online workshops. I am proud of this very open and vulnerable conversation between two men who individually went through intense shifts and changes at the time of the recording. I hope you enjoy it. AND: The universe works in mysterious ways, as we know, and for some reason, the video recording cut off for the last 25+ minutes. So, you can fully immerse yourself in the audio experience! ;)

            • Travelling  
            • Isolation vs. Solitude

              "Das Leben passiert und ich habe mich als Anker."   

              Seit einiger Zeit mal wieder eine Episode auf deutsch und ich freue mich sehr, diesen Anlass mit einem ganz besonderen Gast zu teilen: Helge Hellberg. Helge ist internationaler Executive Coach. Sein Leben ist so vielfältig und bunt, dass ich mich ab dem ersten Moment, an dem ich von ihm hörte, mit ihm verbunden fühlte. Angefangen hat Helge in den 90er Jahren als Musiker einer der erfolgreichsten deutschen Acapella Bands "Five Live", mit der er die Republik bereiste und Menschen mit Musik berührte. Danach ist er für über 20 Jahre nach Amerika ausgewandert, um dort im Bio-Lebensmittel Bereich als Manager zu arbeiten. Während dieser Zeit studierte er das "Mensch-Sein", tauchte in den Buddhismus, Schamanismus, die Psychologie und Spiritualität ein. Diese Vielfältigkeit an Methoden, Techniken und Philosophien prägt Helges Arbeit seit jeher und bildet den einzigartigen Werkzeugkasten, aus dem er in seiner Arbeit mit KlientInnen jeden Tag schöpft.

              • Polarität zwischen maskuliner und femininer Energie 
              • Gesunde Beziehungen führen: Zu Eltern und in der Partnerschaft 
              • Liebe und Angst 
              • Intention 
              • Freiheit 
              • Sicherheit und Fürsorge in uns finden und kultivieren 
              • Selbstliebe 
              • Bedeutung von gesunder Abgrenzung 
              • Wie kommunizieren wir ein klares "Nein"

              • Richard Lang - Find Out Who You Really Are

                "The Headless Way opens up a radically new way of living."   

                Ever asked yourself: Who am I? Get ready and investigate this question with me in this episode. I still can't fully wrap my head around the fact that I spoke with Richard Lang from The Headless Way (spot the wordplay lol). I discovered Richard's work and the theory of The Headless Way on the infamous Waking Up App. In short, The Headless Way offers you a practical, user-friendly way to see Who you really are. The method was developed by philosopher Douglas Harding, and since his passing in 2007, Richard has dedicated his life to sharing the power and message of The Headless Way. I'm surely not exaggerating when I say that this technique has transformed my life and the lives of countless others from the moment we heard about it and started experimenting with it. It's simple yet incredibly profound. The theory includes a variety of "experiments" that you can try in your everyday life to reconnect with your true nature. No believing. No mysticism. Just looking. It might sound crazy, but as Richard always says, "Try it out for yourself!"  

                👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as: 

                • Backstory and origin of the Headless Way  
                • Richard's journey and his relationship to Douglas Harding
                • Connection between the Headless Way and spirituality  
                • Emotions and the headless way  
                • The four stages of awakening to yourself  
                • Benefits of knowing your True Self  
                • The importance of community  
                • How to handle the current heavy state of the world
