    #33 raw, real, and radiant: the beauty of embracing yourself

    In today’s episode, we dive deep into the beauty of embracing your true self. "Raw, Real, and Radiant: The Beauty of Embracing Yourself" is all about letting go of the masks we wear and finding the freedom to show up authentically in a world that often demands perfection. So many of us spend our lives trying to be what others expect of us – chasing approval, hiding behind facades, and suppressing our true essence. But what if the secret to living a fulfilled, meaningful life lies in simply being ourselves, with all our imperfections and quirks? Join me as we explore the power of authenticity and why it's the key to unlocking your deepest potential. In this episode, we’ll talk about how embracing vulnerability, imperfections, and your unique qualities can set you free. It’s time to stop seeking validation from outside sources and start trusting your own worth. The world needs you as you are– not as a polished version of yourself, but as the raw, real, radiant being that you were always meant to be. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or that you need to live up to others' expectations, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll unpack the idea that authenticity is not about being perfect – it’s about being real, and that’s what makes you shine the brightest. Take a deep breath, get cozy, and let’s begin this journey towards living authentically, with no filters and no fear. You are enough, just as you are. >> i always look forward to your subscription and a 5-star rating because it helps me reach a larger group of people who can also benefit from my podcast >> get in touch with me here: https://www.instagram.com/soulful.barb/ >> sign up for my substack blog: https://substack.com/@unfoldyouressencepodcast >> grab your “blossom within: nurture your inner love”-journal here: https://theleap.co/creator/unfoldyouressence/ebook/activate-your-self-love-journey-with-the-blossom-within-journal intro Music: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/rising-star License code: IDU5RMSUFBCE8GFD music during the episode: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/ballerina License code: 8AYDWQA8MKII7DF9 Keywords: authenticity, embrace yourself, vulnerability, being real, imperfections, self-worth, authentic living, self-acceptance, finding your true self, self-love, authentic life, confidence, personal growth, embracing your uniqueness, raw and real.

    #32 the hot sh*t of being happy

    In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of happiness, exploring it from a fresh and engaging perspective. Inspired by Andrea Weidlich’s book "Der geile Scheiß vom Glücklichsein", we discuss how happiness is not a destination or something we need to chase, but rather something we can find in our everyday lives. From the small, seemingly insignificant moments to the chaotic twists of life, happiness is all around us, waiting to be noticed. In this conversation, we explore the idea that true happiness is found in accepting life as it is – not perfect, not always smooth, but wonderfully authentic. We’ll talk about how we can shift our focus to appreciate what we have, and why living in the present moment is the key to unlocking lasting joy. Happiness, after all, is not about reaching some ideal goal, but rather embracing the journey, the imperfect moments, and the decision to be present. Join me as we explore why happiness is a journey, not a destination, and how you can start noticing the “small joys” right in front of you. Let’s talk about how to create your own definition of happiness without all the pressure to be perfect! get the Andrea’s book here (no advertisement, just a recommendation): https://www.thalia.at/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1053105747 >> i always look forward to your subscription and a 5-star rating because it helps me reach a larger group of people who can also benefit from my podcast >> get in touch with me here: https://www.instagram.com/soulful.barb/ >> sign up for my substack blog: https://substack.com/@unfoldyouressencepodcast >> grab your “blossom within: nurture your inner love”-journal here: https://theleap.co/creator/unfoldyouressence/ebook/activate-your-self-love-journey-with-the-blossom-within-journal intro Music: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/rising-star License code: IDU5RMSUFBCE8GFD music during the episode: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/ballerina License code: 8AYDWQA8MKII7DF9 SEO keywords (Happiness and well-being, How to find happiness in everyday life, Living in the present moment, How to embrace imperfection and find joy, Finding happiness in small moments, Achieving happiness without chasing goals, Unlocking joy in daily life, Real happiness secrets)

    #31 your vision, your life: designing your dream year

    Hey, welcome to a very special episode of this new year! 🌟 Let’s talk about one of my favorite rituals to start fresh and stay inspired: creating a Vision Board. In this episode, we’ll get cozy and dive into: Why making a Vision Board is so much more than cutting out pictures—it’s about connecting with your dreams and embracing possibility. How visualization can rewire your mindset and actually help you achieve your goals. The magic of adding things you already have to your board (spoiler: gratitude changes everything!). Inspiration for crafting a Vision Board that fits wherever you are in life, whether you’re chasing big career dreams, dreaming of adventures, or focusing on balance and joy. I’ll also be sharing what’s on my own Vision Board for 2025—it’s personal, a little messy, and totally exciting. This isn’t just about goals; it’s about building a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s start dreaming together. Because this is your year, and the possibilities are endless. >> get inspired by my vision board 2025 here on Pinterest: https://at.pinterest.com/tmyslfcr/visionboard-2025/ > i always look forward to your subscription and a 5-star rating because it helps me reach a larger group of people who can also benefit from my podcast > get in touch with me here: https://www.instagram.com/soulful.barb/ > sign up for my substack blog: https://substack.com/@unfoldyouressencepodcast > grab your “blossom within: nurture your inner love”-journal here: https://theleap.co/creator/unfoldyouressence/ebook/activate-your-self-love-journey-with-the-blossom-within-journal intro Music: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/rising-star License code: IDU5RMSUFBCE8GFD music during the episode: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/ballerina License code: 8AYDWQA8MKII7DF9 Keywords for SEO: Vision Boards, How to Make a Vision Board, Visualization Techniques, Manifesting Goals, Start the Year Right, Create Your Dream Life, Gratitude Practices, Personal Growth, Vision Board Ideas for 2025, Manifestation Tips, Pinterest Vision Board, Pinterest Pins, Pinterest Vision Board 2025

    #30 own your journey: the magic of intentional living

    Hey there, sweeties! In this episode, we’re diving into the art of Intentional Living and exploring how making conscious, purposeful choices can transform your self-worth. Life has a way of pulling us into autopilot – rushing through routines, reacting instead of deciding, and often losing sight of what truly matters to us. But what if we could break free from that cycle and live in a way that’s deeply aligned with who we are? Together, we’ll unpack how intentional living helps you rediscover your values, cultivate mindfulness, and reconnect with your sense of self. You’ll learn practical tips to overcome the “autopilot mode” that often holds us back and how embracing purpose in everyday decisions can create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. We’ll also talk about how letting go of perfectionism, simplifying your priorities, and creating rituals of presence can help you feel more empowered, more connected, and more worthy – just as you are. So, grab a cozy spot, tune in, and let’s take this journey toward a more intentional, self-affirming life together. Because you deserve a life that’s not just lived, but truly embraced. > episode 5 - your value compass: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1zpmVT5YYmRmUWgEgDbmpa?si=09374772f81b438d >> i always look forward to your subscription and a 5-star rating because it helps me reach a larger group of people who can also benefit from my podcast >> get in touch with me here: https://www.instagram.com/soulful.barb/ >> sign up for my substack blog: https://substack.com/@unfoldyouressencepodcast >> grab your “blossom within: nurture your inner love”-journal here: https://theleap.co/creator/unfoldyouressence/ebook/activate-your-self-love-journey-with-the-blossom-within-journal >>intro Music: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/rising-star License code: IDU5RMSUFBCE8GFD >> music during the episode: Music from Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/ballerina License code: 8AYDWQA8MKII7DF9 SEO keywords (how to live intentionally, intentional living tips, benefits of intentional living, how to break out of autopilot mode, purposeful living for self-worth, self-worth through conscious choices, simplify life with intentional living, conscious decision-making, finding balance in life, intentional life hacks, reconnecting with personal values, living authentically)
