Humanly

Hello Creators, 

In today's episode, I'd like to tackle the controversial topic of change. We fear it, and we try to escape it, but at the end of the day, we don't realize the hidden treasure it presents. If we cling to sameness, we stop ourselves from experiencing life to its fullest and pushing ourselves to limits.

Even if we don’t change a thing about our life, the world doesn’t stay the same. Sooner or later, we’re faced with the necessity to change and the better we’re prepared to co-create with it, the more we gain from the shift.

I'll talk about my personal experience of living as expat and moving from Japan to the US.  I'll share my journey of adaptation referring to the 4-step process of facing change (panic, adaptation, new normal, wouldn't go back) described in my favorite book "Built for tomorrow" by Jason Feifer.

Hello Creators!

The Holy grail of the 21st century is the sense of fulfillment and purpose. Better yet if only we could afford to make a living out of it. What if there was something that is not a quick fix for life's biggest dilemma of self-actualization but can give us a boost of joy and fun on daily basis?

I’m talking about the sense of flow - an idea coined by the father of Positive Psychology, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, who studied the very topic of what makes us happy. It seems that any activity that takes our full attention and meets our skill level can give us the joyful boost we’re all hoping for!

In today’s episode, I’ll talk to my guest Hava, writer and artist, about his approach to creating on daily basis. You’ll find out why it’s important to stop fixating on the end goal and how the act of creating is the goal in itself. You'll also hear about behind the scenes of his process from conjuring up characters, and plots in his mind to finally putting them down on paper. Finally, we’ll discuss how rejection and constructive feedback is essential for progressing and improving your craft.

Hello Creators!

How often do you get to listen to your voice? Do you ever capture your thoughts?

How can you tell whether you present yourself authentically to the world?

In this episode, I’ll share my own journey of reclaiming my voice through podcasting and memoir writing. I’d also share the latest scientific findings from epigenetics and total biology, claiming that things we ignore to say, think, or feel doesn’t end up in a vacuum. Instead, they rear their head later in life manifesting as a disease. 

Vocalizing your thoughts teaches you to formulate them better. Without it, your thoughts float mindlessly and you never really capture them. Some of them are influenced by what you consume daily, and the more you consume, the more squeezed your own thoughts are.

Talking to yourself is essentially hearing yourself speak for the first time. It helps to dissect your own voice from the filler thoughts of others and all the inauthenticity coming from conditioning.

Hello Creators, 

If you experienced the so-called dark night of the soul at least once in your life, this episode is for you! In Ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates argued that unexamined life is not worth living. In this episode, I and my co-host Marie dive deep into all the things spiritual to answer the question - how can you truly know yourself in the times of make pretend? How can you rewire your conditioned neural pathways to build more authentic responses? How to meet yourself in all your truth?

In the era of individualism, everyone is trying to craft their own custom-made life to reach self-actualization so we lean into psychology, spirituality, and good old experience to answer the question - what does it take to come back to yourself?

Hello Creators, 

In today's episode, I'd like to raise the controversial topic of the battle between the mind and the heart when making sense of the world. More often than not, we drown in the recycled feed of other people's thoughts, impressions, and experiences instead of raising the vibrations of our own inner knowing to build unique, custom-made lives.

We live in a fetish of a mind - life hacks, shortcuts, least effort - we recreate other people’s scenarios and tried paths in an attempt to lead error-free life. Why don't we give priority to the most refined tool that we already possess - intuition - to make decisions based on cues that we receive daily from our bodies, emotions, and gut feeling? 

Mind and intuition go hand in hand - use your inner knowing as the primary filter when making decisions and let your mind be the lens that lets you see clearly what each decision entails.

Hello Creators, 

In today's episode, I'll talk to Hiroshi, a 65-year-old Japanese man, architect on a daily basis, and life's creator after hours! When asked if he wants to retire, his answer was: "why would I want to stop having fun!"

 Hiroshi is a perfect example of that age is just a number and that even little discomfort in our life can keep us creating our reality (rather than passively consuming it). Because in the end, the road to a wholesome, inspiring life leads through little stumbles and failures.

We'll also talk about what Japanese culture can teach us about life: how attention to detail can transform the quality of our experience, how the constraints can safeguard our continuous growth, and finally why challenging ourselves daily matter!

Hello Creators,

If you wondered at least once about the meaning of life, here's the conversation that will pique your interest. My guest Mars is an independent thinker, writer, and Buddhism enthusiast who is fascinated by the very fact of "our existence in the Milky Way galaxy".

The world keeps pushing us into the constant state of becoming someone better, faster, and stronger but more often than not,  we forget to BE. In this conversation, we touch upon the importance of connecting with our bodies, letting go of control of what is, and identifying the biggest traps that keep us stuck in the hamster wheel of daily life.

We also discuss the collective shift towards finding your purpose, the responsibility that everyone carries to share their genius (unique gifts) with the world, and ways to make a living as a creator.

Hello Creators!

Have you ever thought about your relationship with life obstacles on a daily basis? Do you feel trapped by your bad choices and circumstance or do you see it as an opportunity to pivot and change direction?

In this episode, I'll talk about my impressions on the book "Obstacle is the way" by Ryan Holiday and share how my professional experience of working as Product Manger had equipped me with skills that allow me to see obstacle as a gift.

Happy flowing!
Paula
