Do you avoid tasks that you know you have to do, but somehow

First, I describe the three ways we usually avoid things that we want to do. I talk about procrastination, doing things last minute or

The first strategy to get your stuff done I talk about is actually having a daily to-do list. Sounding simple and rather common advice, this actually works. If you have a hard time starting on a task, try the 10-minute rule: just give yourself ten minutes to work on the task.

Having external accountability is the second strategy. Although it might not be the most sustainable solution, it can give you that

The third strategy is all about the environment and how you set yourself up for success by making the desired behaviour easy, and the undesired behaviour difficult. Getting rid of distractions and creating a nice environment that makes you do your task is key.

Towards the end of the episode, I summarize the action steps you can start taking right after listening. So, pop in those headphones, get your stuff done and choose to Screw Being Unhappy, even

Meg has been where you might be right now: stuck in an endless cycle of dieting and binding, feeling out of control around food.

Being diagnosed with an eating disorder at the age of 11, Meg has spent years trying to figure out her relationship with food. She shares how everything changed for her when she got introduced to intuitive eating.

We chat about Meg’s story and the basics of emotional eating, eating disorders, as well as if intuitive eating is just “eating when

Meg points out, that if one is not feeling comfortable around food and is not where she would want to be, it doesn’t matter which

We tangent about how food is often used when we want to soothe our negative emotions, but also the positive ones during celebrations. Food has been an important part of lots of cultures for ages, and I was blown away when Meg pointed out in clear words, that it’s normal to overeat sometimes. We also dig deeper into the fact, that when we start listening to our bodies, we actually start craving healthy food.

If you are not comfortable around food, have been stuck in a

Today, I bring my husband Chris to get his perspective on the challenges we were facing, especially at the beginning of our relationship. As time progressed, I realized that often these were “my” challenges, rather than “ours”. I kept making mistakes

We start off with mistake #1 which is that often we have the tendency to take things personally. Chris and I unpack our biggest conflict from our beginnings which was about TV and how his watching TV had nothing to do with me as I interpreted it.

I dive into mistake #2, expecting that our partner should fulfil multiple roles being a husband, lover, best friend, book-reading buddy, loving father, hiking partner and so on. Chris describes how important it is to have different people fulfilling different roles and we illustrate this with the examples of love for reading and soccer.

Mistake #3 is all about us having luggage from our past experiences. I describe how distrustful I got when Chris suddenly put a lock on his phone and wondered what he was hiding from me. Chris offers his perspective on why did it and how it had

These three mistakes are not applicable only to our romantic relationships, but generally to everything in our lives. If you want to be happier and start learning how not to take everything personally, expecting things from certain people that are beyond the relationships or how not to let your past affect your present, pop in those headphones and choose to Screw Being

In this new segment, Shift the Shit, I’m real with you. I share the real moments from my life, hoping to show you that it happens to all of us and that it’s possible to get out of it.

In this episode, I share my fear of flying. I’ve been scared of flying since ever and living thousands of kilometres from my country of

This year, I decided that was time to start dealing with this fear. As a coach, I believe in not dealing with challenges alone, so I went to regressive therapy. I share a bit more about the real nature of my fear of flying, which is not ultimately the fear of flying, but the fear of losing my loved ones (yet again).

The therapy took me to the moments from my past lives and it was a deep spiritual experience, where I experienced the connection to the real me, the universe, God and Love. I share some lessons from this deep experience which might help you too.

I chat with you about the experience of flying after the therapy. Spoiler Alert: I’m still scared, but it’s okay even when it still makes my stomach to turn. I learnt something. I learnt how precious are the present moments with my loved ones. I again remembered that the things are exactly as they're supposed to be.

If you suffer from the same fear or an entirely different one, pop in those headphones and soak this unfiltered, unscripted episode

Imola runs her own nutrition and fitness online business, teaches Dutch, does project work while still running the household, keeping up with her own workouts and running her and her husband’s YouTube Channel.

In this coaching session, Imola shares that juggling all this can make her stressed, especially when she spends time in traffic or cannot work due to the regular power cuts. She wants to be able to do all this, but instead of feeling stressed, she wants to feel calm.

I coach Imola on acknowledging the enormous amount of activities she is doing, appreciating the small time-chunks that will eventually aggregate into big-time investment and looking out of the box for solutions, that can relieve her of some of the activities she may not be enjoying that much.

Do you have a partner from a different culture and are you raising kids? Or does your family live abroad? Denise, as a parenting coach specializing in intercultural parenting, knows from her own experiences that having an intercultural family comes with its peculiarities, particular challenges as well as rewards and joys.

In this episode, we chat about Denise’s own experience, cultural differences and tips for parents in intercultural families.

Denise shares her story, coming from the Philippines, having a Spanish husband currently living in Spain. She describes some of the cultural differences between life in Spain as compared to the Philippines and how that reflects in their own family.

We talk through expectations and how is it important to know what you like and dislike about a particular culture. This is not to be judgmental, but it’s about realizing what you want and what you don’t want.

Denise talks about the importance of intentionally creating your family culture, and having self-confidence as a parent knowing that you’re doing what you believe is the best for your child and family. We chat about how we shouldn’t take relatives’, friends’ and random strangers’ comments regarding different cultural approaches and our way of leading our families personally.

One of the unique challenges intercultural families face, unlike families coming from one culture, is multiple languages. We dive into how to prevent misunderstandings stemming from different languages and Denise shares about their family experience with Spanish and English.

We finish up the episode strong with advice on how couples can avoid conflicts in parenting and in relationships in general, by embracing the conflicts instead of avoiding them.
