Life doesn’t always fall apart loudly.
Sometimes self-abandonment happens quietly — in the small moments where you ignore your needs, say yes when you mean no, or keep betraying your own truth just to keep the peace.

In this episode, I talk about the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves through people pleasing, overgiving, guilt, and constantly putting others before our own inner voice.

The focus is on rebuilding self-trust in everyday moments: honoring your boundaries, listening to your body, and allowing yourself to have needs without shame.

It’s also about authenticity. About finding your own voice again instead of shaping yourself around everyone else’s expectations.
Because peace doesn’t come from being liked by everyone — it comes from finally being honest with yourself.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to abandon yourself to be loved, safe, or worthy.

Diese Episode ist eine Bonusfolge — und gleichzeitig eine Erinnerung daran, dass in diesem Podcast jeder Mensch einfach er selbst sein darf.

Da Deutsch sich für Jenna natürlicher angefühlt hat, haben wir dieses Interview ausnahmsweise auf Deutsch aufgenommen. Die regulären englischen Folgen bleiben natürlich weiterhin bestehen.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Jenna Feldheim — Spiritual Life Coach, astrologische Mentorin und Redakteurin im astrologischen Online-Magazin von Phi Loves Astrology — über Astrologie, persönliche Freiheit und den Mut, den eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Jenna teilt, wie Astrologie für sie zu einem Werkzeug der Selbsterkenntnis geworden ist: nicht als starres System, das bestimmt, wer wir sind, sondern als Spiegel unserer inneren Anlagen, Potenziale und Herausforderungen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Birth Charts uns helfen können, uns selbst tiefer zu verstehen, alte Muster bewusster wahrzunehmen und mehr Selbstakzeptanz zu entwickeln.

Außerdem tauchen wir in Themen wie Vanlife, Freiheit und alternative Lebensentwürfe ein — und darüber, wie es sich anfühlt, ein Leben aufzubauen, das wirklich zur eigenen Energie passt.

Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, dir selbst ehrlicher zu begegnen, deiner eigenen Wahrheit mehr zu vertrauen und deinen ganz persönlichen Weg ernst zu nehmen.

Comparison is one of the fastest ways to leave your own life.

In this episode, I explore how easily we get pulled out of ourselves through social media, external standards, and constant self-evaluation — and how this disconnects us from what is actually real.

At the core, this is about being human. Not optimized, not perfect, not constantly “healed” — just real, in process, and inherently different from everyone else.

I talk about why comparison feels so automatic, why it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you, and how healing isn’t a linear upgrade path but a messy, alive experience.

The invitation here is simple: come back to your own life. Not as an idea, but as something you actually inhabit.

No destination. No outcome.

This is a guided walking meditation — a space to move, feel, and come back into your body while you walk.
You don’t need to do anything “right.” Just follow along and let the experience unfold.

Step by step. Breath by breath.
Nothing to reach. Nothing to achieve.

You can take this with you outside — or simply imagine the movement if you’re not able to walk right now.

Think of it as a reset you can drop into whenever you want to reconnect — with yourself, your body, and the present moment.

Life doesn’t break down in neat, manageable pieces — it tends to hit all at once.

In this episode, I talk about what happens when overwhelm takes over and everything feels like too much at the same time. Not from a theoretical place, but from the lived experience of being in it.

The focus is on how to stay with yourself when things get messy: slowing down instead of spiraling, not adding meaning to the chaos, and remembering that overwhelm is a state — not your identity.

It’s also about relieving pressure. You don’t need to fix everything at once. You need to find your next right step and come back to your own ground again and again.

This episode is a reminder that even in chaos, you’re still connected to yourself — even if it feels buried.

Making decisions can feel way harder than they need to be.

Not because the decision itself is unclear — but because of the pressure to choose “right” and avoid regret.

In this episode, I touch on why there’s no such thing as a perfect decision — and why trying to predict the “best” outcome often keeps you stuck.

But the main focus is practical:
I walk you through different ways to actually make decisions — from structured approaches to intuitive ones.

We explore tools like Human Design, working with your body and nervous system, kinesiology, future-self perspectives, and simple mental shifts like removing money from the equation — so you can find what genuinely works for you.

This isn’t about overthinking your next step.
It’s about having options, trying what resonates, and building real self-trust through action.

No input. No learning. No fixing.

This is a fully guided visualization — a space to drift, imagine, and let your mind take you somewhere else for a moment.
You don’t need to understand anything or do anything “right.” Just follow along and allow the images to unfold.

I didn’t plan where this would go before recording — this journey revealed itself in the moment, just as new and unexpected for me as it will be for you.

Think of it as a conscious daydream you can drop into whenever you want to disconnect and reset.

What if Nature isn’t separate from us, but something we can be in dialogue with?

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Saskia von Diest — founder of Ecofluency, PhD holder, consultant and Nature communication educator — about relearning an ancient human capacity: communicating with the more-than-human world.

We explore Nature communication as a practice of deep listening rooted in intuition, presence and sensory awareness — and why communicating with plants, animals and landscapes may be far more natural than we’ve been taught.

We also talk about ecological healing, land intelligence, belonging, humility, embodiment and expanded ways of perceiving reality. Saskia shares how this work can support both personal transformation and our relationship with living systems.

Again and again, this conversation returns to one remembering: we are not separate from Nature.

This episode is less about adopting a belief — and more about what becomes possible when we begin listening differently.

What if the parts of you you’ve been avoiding… are actually the doorway to your deepest power?

In this episode, I sit down with Joseph Sorensen to explore his journey from atheism to spirituality – and the profound shifts in perception, identity, and inner awareness that came with it.

This conversation goes far beyond the idea of “self-improvement.” We dive into shadow work, emotional depth, and the subtle patterns that shape how we experience reality. Joseph shares how learning to feel – instead of analyze or suppress – became a turning point in his growth, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to understanding ourselves.

We also explore the nature of perception itself. What does it mean to sense beyond the visible? To recognize patterns, energy, and unseen dynamics? This episode opens up a perspective where reality is not fixed, but fluid – shaped by awareness, attention, and the willingness to question what we think we know.

Joseph speaks about shadows not only as the parts we reject, but also introduces the idea of the “golden shadow” – the hidden potential, gifts, and power we haven’t yet allowed ourselves to embody. We talk about identity as something layered, constantly evolving, and why breaking out of rigid labels can be both disorienting and deeply liberating.

This episode is an invitation to soften your grip on certainty.
To feel more.
To question more.
And to recognize that transformation doesn’t come from fixing yourself – but from meeting yourself, fully.

Your energy needs clarity. Not constant openness.

In this episode, I talk about energetic boundaries and protection in a very practical, grounded way — especially if you feel easily affected by other people, spaces, or emotions.

We go into what it actually means to protect your energy, without fear or isolation.
Because shielding isn’t about shutting yourself off — it’s about deciding what gets access to you and what doesn’t.

In the first part, I share how energetic protection really works:

• why your intention matters more than any technique
• how your awareness already shapes your energetic field
• and how you can consciously create boundaries instead of reacting to everything around you

In the second part, I guide you through a visualization to build your energetic shield.

This is a simple but powerful practice you can use anytime you want to:

• feel more contained
• create distance from external energy
• or come back into your own space

Protection is not something outside of you.
It’s something you create — and strengthen — from within.
