Hi, and welcome to the Happiness Safari Podcast!

After five years of travelling and living in a van, they settled down in South Portugal and are now living off-grid and mainly self-sustaining. Lisa is a certified yoga teacher, reiki practitioner and spiritual life coach. Lisa speaks about her outer and inner journey, the challenges and how she has overcome them. We speak about the benefits of meditation, the female cycle, how it influences us and our energy, and what you can do to align with it.

Welcome to the happiness safari podcast—your podcast for a happier and more meaningful life. My name is Nadine, and I am so happy you are here.

Today on the podcast, I speak to Wole from the UK.

I met Wole in London in 2018 when we both worked for the same Yoga studio.

Wole is a yoga teacher and a business improvement manager in the IT & Telecommunications sector.

He had a battle with stress and depression and "two divorces", one personal divorce and one corporate divorce at the same time. Leaving the corporate sector led him to a career change and his journey into the wellbeing and yoga space.

He derives a great deal of happiness from engaging with people and sharing some of the positive things, which has led him to a happy place both emotionally and spiritually.

Most of all, raising his three beautiful, graduate daughters as a single father is right up there in terms of achievements and things that make him happy and proud.

Wole and I speak about the transition from the corporate world and leaving the security of a guaranteed income into a self-employed life in the leisure industry.

We also talk about the challenges which come with that and how to overcome them.

The freedom of not owing anybody anything and detachment and why the obstacles we encounter are here to help us.

From this episode, you will learn:

✨how to pursue your dreams

✨why it is important what we are consuming

✨why we sometimes need to destroy something to create something better

✨how to define your success for yourself

✨why it's essential to nurture your relationships

✨why it's important to spend more time with your grandparents

✨why we have control over our destiny

✨why nobody is responsible for your happiness

Today, on the podcast, I speak to Kora from Croatia. We never met, but we realised that we had so much in common during the interview, from our toughest challenges to our favourite book. Kora and I share the same story; we both suffered a long period in our life until we started our healing journey.

Kora is a human with a big curiosity to truly get to know and understand herself as much as possible in a lifetime.

After a decade of being completely unaware of her behaviour and living a life full of suffering, drama, struggles, and many feelings she couldn't and didn't know how to let go of, she decided that her life could not be like this anymore. She became aware she must do something about it.

For the last three years, she learned so much about herself, her relationships with her parents, sister, friends, colleagues, partners, and about the most important relationship in life, with herself.

The beginning was so hard, confusing and she felt like she would never ever be and feel better, as the healing journey is very unpredictable, confusing, intense, overwhelming, but the most rewarding and the most beautiful one as it is leading you to self-acceptance, self-care, authenticity, and self-love.

She is passionate about helping others on the journey, sharing light and setting an example, and sharing her experience, so everyone can be inspired or encouraged to set them-self on a true life journey.

At this point in her life, she is the most aware, joyful, open-hearted that she has ever been in her life, and she is very excited to see what she can create with this level of awareness, self-love, and responsibility she is having towards herself and the life she is creating.

In today's episode, we speak about how you can get out of a challenging and sad period in your life.

We also speak about Yoga, breathwork, Chigong, Meridien Therapy and all the things she tried on her healing journey.

From this episode, you will learn:

✨why it is important to speak about your emotions and ask for help

✨why it's important to be aware of your needs

✨why do we sometimes need to go through emotional difficulties to come out on the other side

✨how all the answers are inside of us

✨how to set boundaries
