    Have you ever felt frustrated knowing that you are not showing up as the person you want to be?

    Curiosity Is Necessary To Be You

    From a young age, we are used to suppress our curiosity. People get frustrated by all our questions or find us weird for our specific interests. As adults, we tend to see curiosity as something childish. We understand what is expected of us and therefore we lose touch with our curiosity. But what if by denying your curiosity, you are denying parts of yourself?

    Restrictions Are Not Your Enemy || How To Use Restrictions In Your Creative Practise

    What if restrictions actually lead to more possibilities? When you are forced to work with limitations, you have to be creative. Restrictions push you to be inventive, to become curious again, and therefore can be a great tool to inspire yourself. In this episode, I share how restrictions impacted my life positively and how I use them in my creative practise.

    Sharing Your Emotions is a Form of Activism

    Am I too much? Why would I bother other people with my problems? It is not that hard just man up. If any of these thoughts sound familiar, this episode is for you. We often feel guilty when we share our emotions with others. We are afraid to take up too much space, to ruin the ambience or to face people's judgement. And yes, indeed, it is not normalized to share your feelings in every environment. But that does not mean that there are not people out there who are ready to listen to you and who will make you feel seen.

    Did safety behaviors take over my life?

    In this episode, we discuss the impact our safety behaviors can have on our lives. These precautions we take are necessary to our existence, but what if we do not remember how to live without them? The things that are supposed to protect us may begin to harm us. If we are never exposed to what would happen when we do not rely on our safety behaviors, it will only strengthen our fearful assumptions. Hopefully, this episode inspires you to reflect on your safety behaviors and the role they play in your life. Are they truly protecting you, or are they just holding you back by maintaining your anxiety?

    What If We Were Never Meant To Follow Someone Else's Timeline?

    We all subconsiously have created a timeline for ourselves, often based on the expectations that our close environment has set for us. But what if you were never meant to follow someone else's timeline? We naturally compare ourselves to the people we resonate with: same age, a shared passion or a similar phase in life. These people are our classmates, co-workers, the people we follow on instagram, friends and even family. You see what they have achieved, where they are, what they are doing and somehow that becomes the standard for where you think you should be. I mean we all know the pressure when your classmate has already found the perfect internship, while you are rethinking if this program is actually what you want to do. Or that one colleage that is focussing on building a family, while you have never been in a relationship. It is very normal that we feel 'behind' when we see other people doing things we haven't figured out yet. Nevertheless, we do not take into account that every single experience forms us to the person we are now, it has brought us to this exact point. Your life is a personal experience and therefore your timeline will be. You are not supposed to bend yourself to fit into some “expected” order of life. You don’t need to become someone else or rush to catch up. What you actually need is acceptance. Accept that other people might be further ahead in certain areas. Be okay with taking your time, with not following the 'normal' order. Your needs might be different from the ones of the people around you and that is totally fine.

    Redefining Productivity: You Are More Productive Than You Think

    Our definition of productivity reflects what drives us, our priorities, and our quality of living. But what happens if you never took the time to define what productivity means to you? What if your daily thoughts and choices have been subconsiously implemented in your life, without you even noticing? That happened to me. I live(d) according to the productivity expectations set by our current hustle culture. If you are anything like me, a striver that is always ready to go the extra mile. You probably ended up defining productivity by the output of money, grades or attention you got. The ironic thing is that we only consider these things to be productive, because we were told they were. Let's shift our focus to this new definition of productivity: to produce something of value. Then you would look completely different to that voice telling you to be more productive. Because anything you do that is impacting your life positively is of value, and therefore productive. Catching up with friends is productive. Going for a walk is productive. Not overstepping your limits is productive.
