April 29, 2022 Ep. #9 - The Other Side Of Fear
Hi friend! ☕️ If you'd like to support this podcast with a cup of coffee visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegrowthlab

In this episode:
So... what's on the other side of fear? Pretty much everything you've ever wanted. At least anything that is WORTH SOMETHING. Your dreams, your desired life, exciting and fulfilling experiences, expansion, freedom, progress, or growth. All of it is right there, sitting on the other side of fear. Fear is the cause of everything that holds us back. Everything that prevents us from moving forward. However fear is also a necessary survival mechanism. Hundreds of years back, fear kept us alive. It helped us avoid risky and dangerous situations. These days, however, it's pretty much the opposite. Our brain's desire to avoid discomfort is exactly what prevents us from living. At least living fully, to the full spectrum of the human experience. Tune in to this episode to hear about how we can learn to identify, rationalize and cope with our fears so we can prevent them from controlling our lives and keeping us away from the things we desire most.

February 28, 2022Ep. #7 - Unlock Your Money Mindset & Keys For Personal Finances with Jonne Frankena
Hi friend! ☕️ If you would like to support this podcast with a cup of coffee visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegrowthlab

In this episode: Learn how to unlock your money mindset and discover keys for better personal finances by the hand of Jonne Frankena. Jonne is a designer turned entrepreneur who found himself in the world of finance and investing by accident. He has now made it his life’s mission to make that world more understanding for all. He is the co-founder at the digital agency “CORE - Raise & Retain” as well as of the educational platform “MoneyMinds.io”.
We all have a different relationship with money. To some people, money is this shiny, sexy thing, while for others it’s this overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes even dirty subject. But what’s undeniable is that, whether we like it or not, money is essential in order to live a good, healthy, and fulfilling life. Because although it might be true that money doesn’t buy happiness, it’s also true that the lack or shortness of it can cause great distress and imbalance in our lives. After all, like it or not, it plays a key role not only in covering our basic needs but also in supporting our desired life and long-term dreams. However, the world of personal finances can sometimes become a little overwhelming to navigate, and it’s not always easy to know if we’re doing the right thing when it comes to managing our money. Sometimes we’d like to be saving more, spending less, or earning more... but we don’t quite have the tools to do it successfully. That's why in this episode, Jonne covers some useful basic notions of personal finances and how to build a healthy mindset around money management while also sharing some great tips on how to start investing and saving.

January 31, 2022Ep. #6 Why New Years Resolutions Suck [Goals Vs. Systems]
Hi friend! ☕️If you would like to support this podcast with a cup of coffee visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegrowthlab

In this episode: Learn why new years resolutions don't work and why you should be setting systems instead. There's a whole new 12-month container in front of us that we can use to turn our ideas into reality, but if we don't have a solid structure and road map to guide us in our journey towards our goals, it's likely that we'll end up falling back into old patterns. Not this year. In this episode, we're discovering the method of systems over goals. Layer by layer, we'll define the intentions, mindsets, and habits we need to build in order to support our long-term goals and have a transformative impact on our lifestyle, instead of just creating momentary change.

Want to make this method your own?
Here are a few actionable resources for you to get practical and build your own systems for 2022.

As a new year approaches, I'd love for you to join us on this last episode of the year while we look back on some of the things that we've lived and experienced these past months so that we can decide which valuable takeaways we bring into the next version of ourselves and into the next chapter of our lives, while also reflecting on what we should let go of.

November 19, 2021 Ep. #4 Becoming confident as F. with confidence coach Valeria Euler
Hi friend! ☕️If you would like to support this podcast with a cup of coffee visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegrowthlab

In this episode: We are talking to motivational speaker and confidence coach Valeria Euler, who's also the host of the podcast 'Confident as F.' In this conversation, Valeria and I unpack so much. From the critical role that developing a strong self-confidence can have in all areas of your life to some of the key elements that influence it. Such as our inner self-talk, or constantly comparing ourselves to others, and trying to live up to certain expectations. Not knowing ourselves well enough due to a lack of self-awareness, and therefore letting other people dictate many of our important life choices. We also talk about what are some of the things that prevent us from showing up as our most authentic self and confidently to the world, being unapologetically OURselves.
Get ready for a fun, sweet, and personal episode where Valeria shares some very valuable and personal advice. If anything, it will at least it will spark some important questions to ask yourself about who you are and how confidently you are showing up in your life.

Hi friend! ☕️If you would like to support this podcast with a cup of coffee visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegrowthlab

In this episode: We talk about how to step away from greedy and unsustainable growth and set the base for a healthy path towards personal development instead. One that is focused on progress, rather than on perfection, and which is deeply rooted in purpose.

You'll hear about the importance of identifying the 'why' behind your ambition for growth, and about how each growth journey looks different for everyone.

Whether this last year has forced you to grow through challenges you never expected, or has got you stuck on stagnant energy and a spiral of procrastination instead, this episode will inspire you to get back on track and start focusing on a growth journey that is aligned with your true goals.

Ready to stop the thirst for 'more, more, more' and just start ✨growing better✨instead?

Then don't miss out on this first episode and leave a review if you enjoy it 🧡
