Life is meant to be uncertain, otherwise life would be awfully boring. Endings are a part of life. Some things work out, some don’t. We are meant to explore our place in this world, and in this season one finale, you’ll hear from Positive Existentialist Yannick Jacob how to do just that. 

Yannick shares his insight on how to deal with endings in life, the difficulties of choice making, the search for meaning and ways to embrace the uncertainties in life. You will also learn what positive psychology and existential coaching are. I hope this episode can help you connect within to start asking those big questions to live a more meaningful life.

In this life, there are things we can control and things we have no control over. Challenges, loss, insecurities, broken heart, separation are an inevitable, natural part of life that we can’t control. We can, however, decide how to treat ourselves in those moments.

When you are going through something difficult, what language do you choose to speak to yourself? Is the voice of criticism really helping you to move forward or vice versa?

In this dialogue, Self-Compassion Coach Usha Hamal tells her own personal stories about self-compassion, explains what self-compassion really means and gives tangible tools how you can tap into your self-compassion more.

Everything starts from within and if you find that self-compassion for yourself, then you can also show up in the world through it as well.

In this episode the host Essi Auguste Virtanen reads a story she wrote back in 2017 that changed everything for her. 

Sometimes in life it takes a series of bad incidents and experiences that take you to the darkest part of life, where you lose sight of who you are, to find something bigger than yourself, to find your potential, your strength, and your purpose. Even in the moment of hurdles life throws your way, when your life turns upside down, you still have a choice, the question is: which lens do you choose to see it from?
