    136: Beyond Words (Javor Škerlj Vogelnik)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beneath The Noise, I sit down with Javor Vogelnik, internationally certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer, breathwork facilitator, entrepreneur, and creator of the Goldthorn Method—to explore what truly shapes the way we communicate. We often believe that communication begins with words. But what if it starts much earlier. What if it starts with the state of our nervous system? Together we explore why even the best communication techniques fall short when we're dysregulated, how stress shapes the stories we tell ourselves, and why learning to regulate our inner world may be the missing piece in building healthier relationships. We talk about: Why listening is far more than waiting for your turn to speakThe principles of Nonviolent Communication and what "violent communication" really meansHow our nervous system influences the way we interpret other people's wordsWhy we often react to our own stories rather than realityThe difference between triggers and the true causes of our emotionsHow breathwork helps create the space between stimulus and responseJavor's Goldthorn Method, combining nervous system regulation, empathic communication, emotional intelligence, and healthy boundariesPractical tools you can use before your next difficult conversationThroughout the conversation, one idea keeps resurfacing: we cannot communicate from a place we cannot access ourselves. Presence, empathy, and authentic connection become possible only when our nervous system no longer experiences every disagreement as a threat. If you've ever wondered why some conversations leave you feeling exhausted, misunderstood, or reactive—and what you can do differently—this episode offers both a fresh perspective and practical insights. Sometimes, the most important conversation doesn't begin with what we say. It begins with how safe we feel within ourselves. ------------ Follow Javor: javorvogelnik.comLinkedInfacebookInstagram Follow Matej: Instagramwww.matejvozel.comLinkedInSubstack------------ ✨Join Ozvezdje (SI language only): https://www.matejvozel.com/ozvezdje

    135: Vrnitev k sebi (Tea Knez)

    Send us Fan Mail Gostja tokratne epizode je coachinja Tea Knez, ki pomaga ženskam ob eni največjih življenjskih tranzicij – vračanju na delo po porodniški odsotnosti. A hitro ugotoviva, da to v resnici ni pogovor o porodniški. Je pogovor o identiteti. Kaj se zgodi z nami, ko postanemo starši? Ali se po tako veliki življenjski spremembi sploh lahko vrnemo v staro različico sebe? Zakaj materinstvo tako pogosto razkrije perfekcionizem, potrebo po nadzoru, notranjega kritika in vprašanje: Sem dovolj? Tea iskreno spregovori o svoji poti – od pravnice in kariere v korporativnem svetu, preko osebnih prelomnic in trenutkov, ko jo je ustavilo telo, do odločitve, da začne slediti poti, ki je resnično njena. Deli tudi vpoglede iz dela z ženskami, ki se vračajo na delo, ter razmišlja o tem, kaj bi morale bolje razumeti tudi organizacije, vodje in podjetja. V pogovoru se dotakneva tudi: zakaj se po porodu ne vrača ista oseba,kako se skozi materinstvo spreminjajo naše vrednote, prioritete in občutek lastne vrednosti,zakaj se sprememba ne začne pri boljši organizaciji, ampak pri odnosu do sebe,kako sprejeti, da nam ni treba biti popolni v vseh življenjskih vlogah,kaj pomeni zaupati sebi in živeti bolj skladno s tem, kar v resnici smo,ter zakaj je eden najmočnejših občutkov, ki jih lahko podarimo drugemu človeku: "Nisi sama."Čeprav je izhodišče pogovora materinstvo, je to epizoda za vsakogar, ki se je kdaj znašel sredi velike življenjske spremembe. ------------ Omenjeno v epizodi: Knjiga: The Awakened Family (Shefaly Tsabari) oz.

    134: Listen to the Quiet (Marta & Matej)

    Send us Fan Mail What if success isn't about doing more, but about becoming more present? In this episode, Matej continues his conversation with coach and yoga teacher Marta Jalkiewicz, picking up exactly where they left off in the previous episode: Are we becoming human doings instead of human beings? Together they explore why so many of us feel trapped in constant productivity, achievement and self-improvement and why slowing down can feel surprisingly uncomfortable. Drawing from personal experience, coaching practice and honest reflection, they unpack the beliefs that keep us busy, the courage it takes to surrender, and what it really means to live a life that feels aligned rather than merely successful. This isn't a conversation about giving up ambition. It's about discovering a different relationship with ambition. One rooted in presence, authenticity and inner trust. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "doing" often becomes our survival strategy.How childhood conditioning shapes our relationship with achievement and self-worth.Why being still can feel more uncomfortable than staying busy.The hidden addiction to productivity, dopamine and constant stimulation.The difference between surrender and giving up.Why younger generations may have a healthier relationship with work and life.The courage required to leave the "highway" and create your own path.How success evolves after 40—and why meaning begins to matter more than achievement.Practical ways to cultivate more "being" without abandoning your goals.Why learning and personal development can sometimes become another distraction.How slowing down allows us to experience life more deeply.The importance of listening to the quiet voice within.Memorable ideas from the conversation "Having a North Star doesn't mean your path has to be a straight line." "Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is surrender." "Schedule "being" the same way you schedule your meetings." "Listen to the quiet." Reflection questions Who am I when I'm not achieving, producing or learning?Am I chasing goals that truly belong to me or following someone else's definition of success?What quiet voice inside me have I been ignoring?Where in my life am I staying on the highway because it feels safe?What would one small step into the jungle look like?If this conversation resonated with you, share it with someone who might need permission to slow down and remember: Life isn't asking us to do more. Sometimes it's inviting us to be more. ------------ Connect with Marta: Website: www.martajalkiewicz.comInstagram: @martajalkiewiczLinkedIn: Marta Jalkiewicz------------ Connect with Matej: matejvozel.comInstagram - MatejSubstack - Beneath The NoiseInstagram - Teorija UspehaLinkedIn

    Send us Fan Mail Pred tabo je nekoliko drugačna epizoda podcasta. Z vami delim posnetek brezplačnega dogodka Lead Yourself, ki sem ga pripravil lansko leto pred začetkom istoimenskega programa. Čeprav je nastal pred časom, so vprašanja, ki jih odpiramo, danes morda še bolj aktualna. V epizodi raziskujemo: zakaj se toliko ljudi znajde na življenjskem avtopilotu,kako prepoznati razliko med zunanjim uspehom in notranjo izpolnjenostjo,kaj pomeni živeti v skladu s svojimi vrednotami,kako naše odločitve oblikujejo prepričanja, čustva in stanje živčnega sistema,ter zakaj je self-leadership temelj vsake trajne osebne spremembe.V drugem delu epizode te čaka tudi kratka vodena izkušnja 🧘, skozi katero lahko začutiš razliko med življenjem iz »false self« in življenjem, ki je bolj usklajeno s tem, kdo v resnici si. ------------ Nova skupnost: Ozvezdje ✨ Pet let sem skozi podcast Teorija Uspeha raziskoval vprašanje, kaj pomeni živeti uspešno življenje.

    132: Journey Of Growth (Marta Jalkiewicz)

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you leave behind a life you've spent more than 20 years building—not because you have to, but because something deep inside tells you it's time? In this episode, I sit down with coach, yoga teacher, and retreat facilitator Marta Jalkiewicz. Born and raised in Poland, Marta spent more than two decades living in Germany before making one of the biggest decisions of her life: moving to Portugal to start a completely new chapter. Together, we explore identity, courage, and the transformations that come with major life transitions. We talk about what it means to leave behind old versions of yourself, why grieving parts of your identity is an essential part of growth, and how to distinguish your authentic self from the protective patterns you've developed to stay safe. In this conversation, we discuss: Marta's journey from Poland to Germany and eventually PortugalThe identity shifts that come with major life changesHyper-independence as a survival strategyThe transition from the corporate world into coaching and yogaWhy awareness alone isn't enough—and what it takes to take actionThe difference between authenticity and conditioned patternsMeditation, mindfulness, and learning to simply beHow nature, spaciousness, and the ocean can reconnect us with ourselvesThe courage required to become who you're meant to beOne of the most powerful themes of our conversation is the idea that personal growth often requires letting parts of ourselves die so that something new can emerge. Authenticity isn't about becoming someone else—it's about peeling away the layers of who you're not. At the end of the episode, Marta shares her current definition of success and answers the signature question: What do you find beneath the noise? Her answer is beautifully simple: "Peace, softness, and love." ------------ Connect with Marta: Website: www.martajalkiewicz.comInstagram: @martajalkiewiczLinkedIn: Marta Jalkiewicz------------ Connect with Matej: matejvozel.comInstagram - MatejSubstack - Beneath The NoiseInstagram - Teorija UspehaLinkedInApplications are now open for the Lead Yourself "waiting list".

Pogovarjala sva se o: razliki med vodjo in voditeljem,zakaj se vse začne pri vodenju samega sebe,kako pomembna je avtentičnost v poslovnem svetu,zakaj intuicija ni nasprotje logike,ter zakaj prihodnost pripada sodelovanju in ne individualizmu.Dotaknila sva se tudi nove knjige Zgodbe za notranjo moč in poslovni premik, ki združuje 47 resničnih zgodb voditeljic in voditeljev iz različnih področij življenja in poslovnega sveta.
