    #1 Things Will Work Out with Noémi Beres

    Noémi Beres: "Inner work, resilience, and supportive relationships have shaped my belief that things will work out. My resilience journey started in Hungary where I grew up. I was a shy, creative child drawn to books, art, classical music, ballet, and nature. I lived in Denmark as a foreign exchange student, got married and moved to Ireland with my husband and then to Cyprus, while rebuilding our business and family life across countries. My confidence comes from repeatedly surviving difficult transitions and learning that people are stronger than they expect.” Have a listen. I trust you won't want to miss this important conversation!   * Noémi Beres is the creator of 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭… A private, 90-minute strategy session where together you’ll clarify your podcast guest positioning, the stories and topics you can bring to interviews, and the next steps to start your guesting journey with confidence.

    #4 Spirits with Eva Hoffman

    Eva Hoffman: “For many years of my life, I was not interested in spirituality or religion. In recent years, I have become more open to spirituality. I teach my little great grandchildren about energy, energy healing, and reconnecting their hemispheres with Brain Gym exercises. I teach them to breathe slowly, because that is the first important thing for meditation. I think it's extremely important to teach children about things beyond our senses. We're not really teaching them, we are confirming what they somehow already know.  The new generation is living in a very different world from the world that I lived in as a child. It’s so interesting to watch each generation becoming more open. We learn so much from children. Somebody wisely said that ‘we learn more from them than they do from us’.  Until quite recently, I did not like saying I love myself. I would say, "I accept myself". I can do it now, but I can still feel a bit of a block.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Eva Hoffman.

    #3 Growing with Eva Hoffman

    Eva Hoffman: “Growing is about expanding, becoming multicolored and multi shaped like a beautiful garden of flowers. I love watching young people because they are so beautiful. I don't teach secondary school children anymore. It's the age when they are really blossoming. They are just so incredibly beautiful, like a flower. I think, 'how wonderful it would be for me to find out who you are, and what kind of flower you are in this moment'. That's the feeling I get when I see them. It is interesting that when a plant grows higher, the roots grow deeper. As human beings, we need this balance between growing up and having deep roots. When I think about roots, I also think about people. We come from different countries and we start growing our roots when we are born.  I am Polish and I have lived in England for 40 years now, which is a long time. My father was half Jewish and is Polish. My mother was born in Poland as well. For some people, it's a very big issue when they are uprooted because their roots never grew deep enough. This can happen with plants as well. I think my roots have gone quite deep. I don't have problems changing places. I do get attached to people, rather than places.  Understanding your roots is important.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Eva Hoffman.

    #2 Wonderful with Eva Hoffman

    Eva Hoffman: “We have wonderful experiences when we connect with others. I take all of my students, regardless of age, through what I call a self-discovery learning adventure. What we discover is that, although we may seem the same, we are all beautifully different. Because we are beautifully different, we are all special. I am special and you are special. We are all special and it's extremely important that we all realize that fact. A lot of young people, even small children already at school, don't feel that they are special.  Not all children feel that they are special in their own homes. That is something to be remembered. I enjoy teaching my great grandchild positive self-talk. For example saying, “I am special” about themselves. Initially, I had trouble saying that myself.  Some school children are labeled Special Needs. I can sympathize with that and yet I believe that every child is a special needs child. When we believe that, we treat them as individuals.  I also believe that we need to teach children about unity, the fact that ‘we are all one’.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Eva Hoffman.

    #1 Feel Everything with Love - Eva Hoffman

    Eva Hoffman: “I have been a lifelong learner and yet I never liked school. I didn't like it when I was little and I didn’t like it as a teenager. The moment I left school, things changed. When I became a teacher, I promised myself that if I saw my students not loving to learn, I would change my profession. I believe that it’s a crime if there’s no heart in the teaching or the learning. I am from a loving family of lifelong learners. My parents were musicians and professionals at a music academy. When my father was eighty-seven years old, this is what I heard as I walked into the house, "Look what I have just learned!" A typical greeting of his. I was not a bad student. It's interesting, because my friends remember me as a very good student. I don't think I was. I mean, I got the right grades. I managed everything that I needed to manage. I passed all the exams, there was no problem of that kind. There also was no heart in the teaching. I had only one teacher who really taught me something that I carry on until today. In my mind that was not good enough. I promised myself that as a teacher, I’d be remembered in a different way. I've been extremely interested in people and when you get to know them, when you are interested in them, the next step is loving them.  I have always loved teaching and when I have a chance to teach, I feel the connection. I feel love.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Eva Hoffman.

    #4 Be Grateful with Carol Banens

    Carol Banens: “I am grateful for the gratitude journaling I have done for years. I am also grateful that I continued writing in that journal after my husband died. I did it every night, no matter what. I can remember sitting upstairs with my diary open thinking, 'what am I grateful for?' And I made sure I found something, whether it was my warm bed in the winter or the air conditioning in the summer.  Grief is about looking back and looking at loss. People tend not to live in the present moment. We're either worried and thinking about what went wrong, what we should have done or we are busy getting anxious about the future.  The wonderful thing about gratitude is that we can keep adding it into our day. This is when the joy of life returns.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Carol Banens.

    #3 Relish People with Carol Banens

    Carol Banens: “Once you're in grief, and you've lost someone, you realize there's so much more that perhaps you could have done for them, listened to them, or asked of them. I'm a piano player. My dad was a surgeon and quite a good jazz pianist. He'd say, practice hymns and play chords, it will give you chord sequences. And of course, I never listened because he was my dad. After he'd gone, I ended up marrying a jazz pianist. That's when I realized, oh, my dad was right. If only I had done that. Did I learn from that? Not enough.  I relished my husband, but not as much as I could. I think we can always do more.  I didn't ask him to teach me a really groovy Happy Birthday. When you're at a birthday party and there’s a piano and people find out you can play piano they often say, "Can you play Happy Birthday?" And it's like, “No”. That's such a silly little thing. But it's one of those things I wonder about. That was Brian's skill. He was a musician. Why didn't I tap into that? Was it because I was always too busy?  I was too busy to smell the roses. I was working and looking after my mom. We don't know how long others will be with us or we with them. So, taking the time to appreciate who you have with you and why they're with you is important. If only we could hear that lesson before they are gone so that we can do it in advance.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Carol Banens.
