    5 Ways to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You & Move Forward with Clarity

    Have you ever felt stuck in something you knew wasn’t right for you—whether it was a habit, a mindset, a relationship, or even a business decision? The hardest part isn’t realizing it’s time to let go—it’s actually doing it. For a long time, I held onto things simply because they felt familiar. I told myself, Maybe it’ll get better or I just need to try harder. But the truth? The longer I stayed, the more drained I felt. Letting go isn’t about quitting. It’s about trusting that what’s meant for you won’t require you to constantly convince yourself to stay. In this episode, I’m sharing: The subtle signs you’re holding onto something that’s keeping you stuckWhy we resist change (even when we know it’s necessary)How to start letting go in a way that feels aligned, not chaoticIf you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode is for you. Listen now and let me know—what’s one thing you’re ready to release? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Emma Lund: Sådan stopper du med at forbinde præstation med dit selvværd

    I denne episode af Human Athlete dykker vi ned i en vigtig samtale om præstation og selvværd med Paralympisk og verdensmester Emma Lund. Efter en uforglemmelig sæson med guldtriumfer ved de paralympiske lege i Paris og verdensmesterskabet, befinder Emma sig nu i en udfordrende periode præget af tomhed og tvivl. Hvordan håndterer man tomrummet, når de store mål er nået, og hvordan finder man glæde og mening uden at basere sit selvværd på præstationer? Emma deler ærligt sine tanker om denne transformation, de følelsesmæssige op- og nedture, og hendes nye mål om at udforske livet udenfor cykelsporten og hvordan hun elsker lige præcis den hun er.

    Rasmus Lauge: Hvordan ungår du modgang holder dig tilbage for at blive den du drømme om at være

    DANISH EPISODE Hvordan genfinder du troen på dig selv, når den ene ulykke rammer efter den anden? Har du den mentale styrke, der skal til for at stå imod svære ting i livet? I dag møder Rebekka OL guld-vinder og håndboldspiller, Rasmus Lauge til en refleksiv snak om hans turbulente sidste år og, hvordan den store modgang han har haft i hans karriere har formet ham som menneske. Når han kigger tilbage på hans karriere, taler han om, hvordan hans kone Sabrina har hjulpet ham med at være mere nysgerrig på ham selv menneskeligt, og hvordan kendte stemmer inden for optimering og selvudvikling som: Jay Shetty, Andrew Huberman og Wim Hof inspirerer ham i hverdagen. Han sætter også ord på OL i Paris, og hvordan det at stå med guldmedaljen dér, var den ultimative kulmination på hans rejse både sportsligt og menneskeligt, samt hvordan han som et følsomt menneske navigerer i at skulle være et 'svin' på banen og 'den gode fyr', Rasmus udenfor banen. Det her er en af de samtaler, der inspirerer dig til at blive ved med at tro på dine drømme, når du møder modgang, samt giver dig konkrete værktøjer til at komme igennem det.

    Bjørk Nørremark: Hvorfor du skal lytte til din indre stemme - også når det virker ulogisk.

    DANISH EPISODE I dag møder Rebekka PL bronze-vinder, kunstner og nu også retorikstuderende, Bjørk Nørremark. Hun er retur på Human Athlete til en snak om, hvordan kaos og kreativitet har banet vejen for det liv hun lever i dag og den hun er, samt hvordan hun finder ro i ikke at vide, hvad fremtiden bringer, men inspiration. Bjørk tager desuden med ind i det afgørende spring til PL, der sikrer hende bronzemedaljen, men hvor alt op til går fuldstændig galt. En episode, der blot mindede hende om vigtigheden af at lytte til sin indre stemme, også selvom den fortæller dig du skal gøre det stik modsatte af, hvad alle andre gør. Det her er en af de samtaler, der minder os om styrken i at stå ved sig selv og at omfavne, at kaos kan lede til magi.
