In this episode, Annette Knopp, author of Mystic Nomad, returns to the podcast for a deep, intimate, and unfiltered conversation about inner authority, broken trust, and the long journey back to true connection.

Through her lived experience, Annette reflects on the meaning of spiritual guidance, the dangers of projecting our inner gold onto teachers or systems, and the slow, embodied process of reclaiming wisdom from within. We speak about writing as a path of repair, the body as a place of return, and the moments when familiar frameworks fall away and something truer begins to emerge.

This conversation does not offer easy answers or spiritual shortcuts. Instead, it invites a more honest listening to the body, to experience, and to the ground that appears when everything else dissolves.

Caroline Kist is a Dutch artist and photographer whose path led her from law and humanitarian work to discovering, in her forties, the strength of her own voice behind the camera.

In this conversation, she traces the ruptures that pushed her toward rebirth: her years at the United Nations, the shadows of depression, raising three children, and the silent weight of a father marked by war. Photography became her way of coming home, of revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary, and of slowing down in a world that demands speed.

How Art Saved My Life and Gave Me Back My Voice is an intimate Heroine’s Journey, a story of courage, creativity, and the healing power of following an inner calling.

In this episode, Alex Serra takes us on an intimate journey of self discovery and truth. After leaving Europe to full full a life time dream of travelling, Alex takes us to South America, where he grappels big questions around time, stories silence, being an outlier in a system he didnt feel a part of. Committed to the question of “Who am I”, he reveals a path of a profound transformation that led him back to his purest essence. From facing his inner monsters to meeting himself with unconditional love, Alex shares with honesty and sensitivity how he crossed his own darkness, started creating music, and found a sacred return to truth.

This conversation holds a special place for our host, as Alex’s music has accompanied her own healing journey. A luminous dialogue on surrender, integration, trust in life, and art as a path back home.

¿Alguna vez has vivido el final de un ciclo, relación o proyecto compartido con una persona que te importa profundamente?¿Te has preguntado cómo honrar algo que llega a su final, sin perder la conexión, aunque duela?

En este “bonus episode” Christine se sienta con sus amigas y colegas Nana y Martha, con quiénes compartió casi una década el proyecto musical Passiflora, para sincerarse sobre cómo navegaron las aguas turbulentas de la salida de Chris del proyecto, mientras guiaban un viaje de un grupo de 20 mujeres por las mágicas Dolomitas, en Italia.🇮🇹✨

Es una conversación emotiva sobre la honestidad, las rupturas y el poder del perdón.

Gracias a todes por escuchar, hasta la tercera temporada!

Warning: this episode openly discusses suicide.

In our last episode of this season, we had the opportunity to speak to Mercedes Kostucki, a Belgian trans woman who shares her raw and courageous story of transformation. Mercedes openly discusses her journey through gender transition and the struggles she faced, including suicidal thoughts, as she fought to live authentically in a world that often rejects those who don't conform.

We dive into the emotional and psychological challenges of transitioning and the weight of family and social expectations. Mercedes speaks with vulnerability about the darkest moments of her life and the hard won path that eventually led her to self-acceptance. A testament to resilience and the courage to embrace who you truly are, her story speaks to the healing power of intimacy and connection.
