In this episode Lotte shares about a event that changed her life: she lost he father in a motor accident when she was 19 years old. Perhaps it's no coincidence that this is the 19th episode. Lotte explains how life as she knew it fell apart, what emotions she experienced and how grief eventually did let go.  She also shares about moments she feels connected to her dad Dennis. and the one time that a medium helped her to be in touch with him.

Let this episode be your friend that guides you to a place of connection with your own ancestors - using a calming meditation (18.00m).

Lotte on the 1st of July 2019:

"Today 10 years ago I received a phone call that would forever change my life.

It was mom calling from the hospital - Dad had a motor accident and was in critical state and I had to get there soon. For the first time in my life I hyperventilated. This was not good. 

A hour later we received the news that my dad had no brain activity any more. He was at the intensive care - a machine kept him alive but he could not hear, see or feel us being around him. He had no pain but there was no future left for him.

Because my parents got divorced and my dad didn’t have a donor registration, it was up to me (19) and my brothers (17 and 14) to decide what would happen with his organs. Those are not questions crying teenagers should be answering in the middle of the night.  

We were left with a loss you cannot imagine, endless tears, a dog, two businesses, a huge house with even bigger mortgage and so the list continued.  Some moments I remember vividly while other memories are blurry or even disappeared.  What I do remember is so much pain and sadness. At times I thought my life was over too. This was so unexpected, my dad was the strongest man I knew.

I cannot believe that it’s been 10 years now. There are days that I even forget to think of him. In the beginning that made me feel so miserable but now I know that it’s okay. One day I would love to be in contact with him and I know I will but I have to find a way. If you are reading this and you feel it in your heart, and you are able to be that medium, I would appreciate it so much if yo would reach out. .

What I do know is that without going through this pain, anger, fear, grief an thousand more stages, feelings and emotions I would not have been where I am today. I am 29 and feel so blessed to help others heal and open their hearts. 

Without my dad or ironically, without my dad passing, I would not have achieved half of what I did. He is not just a memory, he is my teacher and spirit daddy. Always. And today I honor him and thank him for all the lessons."

In deze aflevering is de Bunschotense geboren & getogen Cristina Koelewijn te gast. Van jongs af aan stond ze met haar moeder op de Spakeburgse markt en toen ze 17 was begon ze dit te combineren met het geven van sportlessen bij verschillende sportscholen. Met tijd, trainingen en cursussen investeerde ze veel in zichzelf en zo kwam ze eind twintig - met een flinke portie lef & pit - bij het hoofdkantoor van Nike binnen. Een echte "Dream Job"! Christina vloog naar Amerika en ontwikkelde zich op allerlei (sportieve) fronten binnen deze multinational. 

Deze aflevering is een must listen voor vrouwen & mannen die benieuwd zijn hoe een fitte, vrouwelijke, sportieve onderneemster en moeder alle ballen hoog houdt en ook nog eens een lekker glas wijn drink op vrijdag avond tijdens de Zuidwal Wedstrijden! Balans is voor velen een thema en dromen hebben is één ding maar ze omzetten in doelen is next level. Christina deelt haar verhaal.

Most of us live increasingly fast-paced, active and even stressed lifes. Minds are fossey and attention is disappeared. In the West, we practice a lot of YANG Yoga (think of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Power, Bikram) which is about muscle strengthening & lengthening through rhythmic, flowing movements. Do you wonder why you still feel all over the place after a yoga class? You probably need more Yin in your life!

Kristine has been teaching yoga for many years but will always remain a student herself. She's off to Thailand for a Chi course soon. "When you take a Teacher training, you need to feed the practice in the bone. You'll need months for it to be under the skin. In order to keep giving you have to keep learning and stay inspired. That's the whole Yin Yang principle!" 

Kristine loves to teach retreats because it's extremely beneficial to stick to the practice and a good teacher for a couple of days. It's not just another holiday but it will the beginning of something new. 

What else can you expect? Making money as a teacher, the gall bladder hour, traveling, breakfast dates and beautiful beaches. Tune in if you want to learn and laugh!

Viora Rebergen is 28 jaar, overleefde acute leukemie, won de Women's Health Fit List Award 2018 en gaat nu eind april 2019 gezond op wereldreis met haar vriend Joost. Deze podcast staat in het teken van Viora's dappere reis van kanker naar een gezond & fit lichaam EN leven. 

2,5 jaar lang stond Viora's leven in het teken van ziekenhuisbezoeken, chemo's en rust houden. Ze kon niet sporten, verloor haar haar, kwam 30 kilo aan maar bleef bijzonder positief.  Ze deelde haar lief en leed op een hele authentieke manier via social media. Haar vriend Joost, familie, vrienden en online friends stonden aan haar zijde. Viora is stoer, sterk maar durft zich verdomd kwetsbaar op te stellen. Ze deelt haar ervaringen openhartig en ondersteund door kwetsbare foto's om lotgenoten te laten weten dat ze er niet alleen door staan. 

Nu Viora weer beter is werkt ze hard om weer helemaal fit en op gewicht te komen! Yoga hielp haar om kracht te trainen toen krachttraining nog teveel gevraagd.  Inmiddels pakt ze de gewichten ook weer met plezier weer op. Ze is blij dat er weer ruimte in haar hoofd is voor normale dingen zoals keuzestress of een kilo die je dwars zit. Eind april 2019 gaat deze meid op reis - met als prachtig thema loslaten om een nieuw hoofdstuk te beginnen. Ze wilt mooie dingen doen en herinneringen maken in plaatst van zich alleen maar richten op een carrière zoals voor haar ziekte.  "Later bestaat misschien niet" aldus Viora.

The second part is about Britt's incredible crazy love story. Yup, she got married just after having spend 3 weeks with her now husband Mitch Hunter. She never really believed in 'the one' but despites that she is happy to choose her man for the rest of her life. However it wasn't just rainbows and butterflies  - they  put pressure on their self to 'prove' that they were a perfect - newlywed -  couple.  They knew each other on a soul level but still had to figure out many things around the relationship! Britt suggests that you better do some research on the new place where you are moving to so that you can create your own thing. This will take a lot of pressure from your partner,and it will make you feel more independent! Working for Lululemon gave Britt that space and community for herself. 

Britt also explains more about vinyasa yoga and both girls think that yoga should flow with you through life - use the tools you need in the moment. Vinyasa for energy and yin to ground and nurture you!
