My 10 days of Vipassana meditation are over and I am very grateful for the people I met and the "emotional education" I received. In this short episode I wanted to quickly share my experience with you!

All the best

Vipassana meditation originates from Buddhism and is an ancient technique that has stood the test of time. It offers us the opportunity to reprogramme our inner self by learning not to be overwhelmed by both positive and negative feelings.

I hope you enjoy today's episode!

This week I would like to introduce a special person who has made me aware of a new path: a meditation technique that is supposed to give inner peace and help us to separate ourselves from suffering and from our driven polarity. On a trip to Singapore, I met Thien, whose stories about Vipassana meditation made a lasting impression on me. His words stayed with me so that I finally decided to take part in silent meditation myself. In this episode, I would like to introduce you to Thien Tang!

Rowing across the Atlantic with pure muscle power: 2 hours on, 2 hours off, repeated for 53 days.

I spoke with Ian Yates about his experience in the World’s Toughest Row. He shared that just reaching the starting line was one of the hardest challenges of all!

I was lucky enough to speak to Ian Yates, who rowed the World's Toughest Row - crossing the Atlantic Ocean by rowing alone. I love the fact that he created this opportunity for himself, which inspired me to be open to finding and creating opportunities for myself!

Enjoy this episode and meet Ian Yates!

In this episode, we're diving into a critical question that looms over many students: "What do I want to do after graduation?" It's a significant query, demanding reflection on what truly excites and motivates us. We want to spark the idea that it's beneficial to start thinking early about what you want to do and how you want to do it. For instance, I never questioned whether I would pursue a master's degree; for me, it was a given. However, we believe that contemplating your future can be crucial, and taking the time now to consider your path can significantly reduce the pressure of deciding what to do later on. This episode is here to empower you to achieve great things and unlock additional opportunities for your future by asking yourself what you want to do after Bachelor.

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Pare, one of the iconic figures I met during the first week on campus. It's always intriguing to hear stories about people finding their best friends at university right from day one. For me, that person was Pare, with whom I navigated my entire bachelor's journey side by side. After our bachelor's degrees, our paths diverged - Pare ventured into the industry, starting as a trainee, while I embarked on my master's degree. Today's episode will explore the possibility of diving straight into work after completing a bachelor's degree, shedding light on the transition from academia to the professional world.

Enjoy the episode
