This podcast isn’t simply about intellectual discussions (although we like those). What we’re playing with is the creation of a shared field that goes far beyond the mental. We experiment with attuning to what is emerging in this field at each moment, so that the conversation itself becomes a group flow experience. www.lifeinflowgroup.com

    What is real?

    What if imagination is just as real as the chair you're sitting on? After two weeks dreaming herself awake in the Anza-Borrego desert, Yulya came back with a question — and brought it into this conversation, where the three of us show up in personas we don't usually wear and use them as a doorway into reality itself. We talk about shared illusions, the cost of living on the fringe of consensus, and why some of us simply can't survive in a world without magic. 📍Chapters 00:00 — Yulya Welcomes: Strange Outfits and "What Is Real?" 02:37 — Yulya's Vision Quest: Anza-Borrego and the Underworld Journey 07:03 — The Games: Playing With "Real" and Assembling Personas 19:33 — Wild Woman, Destroyer, Seductress: The Personas Speak 24:06 — Was the Persona Real — Or Just the Costume? 29:05 — Irina's Frame: Becoming the Character from the Outside In 36:33 — Dumbledore's Answer: "Why Should It Mean It's Not Real?" 39:14 — The Black Cube Experiment: How Society Rewrites What You See 48:13 — Polina: Everything Is Real, Nothing Is Real 50:06 — When Polina Shapeshifted Into a Bird 55:51 — Following Aliveness and the Cost of Being Shunned 1:02:00 — The Body Refuses: A World Without Magic 1:15:39 — Irina's Bun Date: "Please Take It Down" 1:20:49 — On the Outskirts: Three Closings on Aliveness and Owning It 1:26:17 — Polina's Twist: The Joy of Range Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    How Do We Converge Generatively?

    What happens when "yes, and" meets the necessity of "no"? Picking up from our exploration of utopia and the dance between the individual and the collective, we sit with a structural truth: the realm of infinite possibilities is beautiful, but nothing actually happens there. Through a rapid-fire game of impossible choices, Yulya's story of choosing from the body during her son's illness, and Polina's closing reframe, we explore what convergence feels like somatically, why creative people struggle with it most, and whether we're making decisions at all — or just floating on a raft, thinking we steer. Chapters: 00:00 — Welcome to the Life in Flow Podcast 01:15 — Beyond "Yes, And": Why We Also Need to Converge 04:00 — Irina's Frame: Divergence and Convergence in Every Creative Process 06:46 — The Central Question: How Do We Converge Generatively? 09:41 — The "This or That" Game: Rapid-Fire Forced Choices 24:45 — Behind the Masks: How Does Forced Choice Actually Feel? 26:22 — Yulya's Story: A Sick Son and a Pine Tree's Guidance 33:14 — The FOMO of Convergence: When Every Path Calls You 38:00 — Polina: Every Choice Is an Energetic Gamble 40:26 — The Subway Map of Lost Futures 44:35 — The Energetic Signature: Feeling the Pull Before You Decide 47:53 — Does Making a Choice Mean Giving Up Who You Are? 58:09 — Freeze, Depression, and the Hidden Cost of Not Choosing 01:11:38 — Polina's Twist: What If We Never Actually Choose? 01:14:38 — Yulya's Vision Quest: Being Dreamed by the Desert Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    What Does it Mean to Be a Woman?

    In this episode, we let the word woman move through us and followed where it led. From power that travels through the body to the leak that happens when our true shape isn't afforded, from inherited trauma to the goddesses’ energy, we explore what feels like us — and what we might not yet remember about ourselves. 00:00 – Entering the Field: What Does It Mean to Be a Woman? 01:15 – A Somatic Experiment: Feeling “Woman” in the Body  06:01 – Portals, Warmth, and Safety: First Embodied Responses 08:43 – Infinite Within Borders: The Feminine as Inner Cosmos 10:16 – Air, Water, and the Wolf: Elemental Feminine Imagery 12:41 – “Woman is Like Water”: Taking Shape in Relationship 15:13 – Creation and Destruction: Dark Feminine Energy 17:33 – Holding It All: Softness, Rage, and Power Together 19:20 – Wings, Claws, and Fangs: Archetypes of Feminine Power 21:06 – What Does Power Feel Like in a Woman’s Body? 26:36 – Goddess States, Nature, and Embodied Power 33:03 – Power Through Connection, Attunement, and Aliveness 37:00 – “Not Afforded My True Shape”: When Power Leaks 43:11 – Losing Power: Approval, Disconnection, and Self-Doubt 56:09 – What Is Truly “Me” vs Learned?

    Individual vs Collective — Who Wins?

    What happens when you remove "I" from a conversation about individuality and collectivism? What starts as a philosophical, although somewhat experimental, inquiry into utopia and egoless society gets shapeshifted by the feminine — revealing that the very language we use to frame the question was never designed to hold the answer. What if there is no need to choose “either-or”? What if we are capable of holding space for both polarities at the same time? What utopia can emerge then? 📍Chapters 00:00 Intro  01:16 Welcome & the question: individual vs collective — who wins?  05:52 The rules of the game: no "I," no "you"  09:20 Game Round 1: What is Utopia?  15:35 Game Round 2: The human blockchain and the vibrating web  21:31 Why removing "I" changes what emerges  23:55 Creative limitation: dropping "I," "you," and "we"  25:00 The Dispossessed: can an egoless society function?  31:00 Ego as the "operating self"  34:12 Duality, non-duality, and the porous individual  39:56 Wouldn't utopia welcome the ego?  41:28 The language problem: these words were made by men 43:25 Redefining “duality”  44:30 The feminine as "Yes, And"  48:56 How do we hold both polarities at once?  52:58 “Yes, And” as a principle of utopia  54:02 Spanish Revolution and the limits of hearing all voices  57:20 Tribes, time, and what "collective" really includes  1:00:40 Practicality as a masculine perspective  1:03:25 Wrapping up: lifting the creative limitations  1:04:50 The feminine “hijacked” this conversation  1:05:45 Takeaways: celebrating "Yes, And" — but who builds the roads?  1:09:10 More yang in the yin, more yin in the yang  1:10:31 Sensing into this without making sense  1:13:45 Invitation to listeners & farewell  1:15:05 Outro Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    Should We Strive To Be Understood?

    What if being understood has less to do with words and more to do with how you are attuned to the world? In this episode — recorded in darkness — we unpack the word "understand," explore the longing for shared reality, and discover that true understanding is about energetic resonance that goes beyond words. From shared codes and morphic fields to dancing your PhD, this conversation turns understanding inside out. 📍Chapters 00:00 Intro  01:16 Welcome & the question of being understood  05:58 Game: Unpacking the word "understand"  16:35 Game: "To be understood is like…" — beyond the human world  24:08 Into the darkness: masks on  25:25 What does it mean to be understood?  37:26 How often do we truly feel understood?  44:01 Being seen vs being understood 48:48 Men vs Women  50:12 What does it take to be understood?  54:03 Can we be understood in our confusion?  59:49 The longing for shared reality  1:04:31 Dance Your PhD & stepping out of your coordinate system  1:11:43 Altered states and the depth of understanding  1:18:04 The darkness experiment: what did it reveal? 1:19:41 Can understanding last? 1:27:11 Attunement, shared codes and morphic fields 1:30:44 Parting reflections  1:34:56 Outro Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    How Do We Hold Space for Ourselves?

    We put on blindfolds and stepped into the dark. This episode is an experiment in presence — recorded in the season of cocooning, when the pull inward is strongest. From witchy cauldrons and mountain meditations to volcanic caves and the feet of a frightened child, we explore what it takes to become the container for your own experience. Meandering through systemic coaching, breathwork, and Internal Family Systems, we arrive at a simple truth: you can't hold space for anyone until you know what you're holding space for within yourself. 📍Chapters 00:00 Intro  01:15 Welcome & the context: cocooning in the darkest time of the year  05:35 The experiment: blocked vision, masks on  06:37 Game: Brewing a witchy cauldron for holding space  12:33 Stories of mountains  18:53 The mountain's consciousness  23:08 Inside the mouth of a volcano  28:37 What is holding space about?  36:00 Making your energy available: healing circle in Brazil  40:33 Center yourself first: holding space in breathwork 43:06 Holding space through the body: the daughter's feet story 46:41 Providing an energetic blueprint  49:12 Becoming the container: expanded boundaries and blown glass  57:25 Holding space for others vs holding space for yourself  1:00:42 Do you need to know yourself to hold space?  1:06:53 Holding space as creating a container for emergence  1:13:50 Nature as anchor: the forest that made you whole  1:18:37 Referencing self vs referencing externals  1:24:22 Masks off: reflections on the darkness experiment  1:26:47 Parting reflections 1:33:20 Outro Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    Who are we when we don’t know who we are?

    Some conversations have a mind of their own and go in unexpected directions. In this episode, we started off trying to answer one question, but in the end, the discussion flowed, making us explore something that was emerging in the field even though we were not aware of it. From identity changes to cultivating the garden of our inner parts to the elusive existence of the “true self”, it all could be described by one question: what happens when we stop trying to be someone? 📍Chapters 00:00 Intro  01:15 Welcome & setting the stage  02:33 The Game: Identity as a costume  20:02 Working with inner parts: a machine or a garden? 37:06 Inner scapes: cultivated garden vs wild forest 44:18 What collapses when you stop performing?  52:43 Being, soul, ego & the Forrest Gump question  1:03:16 The fluidity of identity 1:06:11 The energetic frequency of who we are  1:09:07 The true self — does it exist?  1:14:11 Shapeshifting  1:17:11 We are humus 1:20:30 What identity is dissolving, forming, emerging?  1:34:31 Parting reflections  1:37:54 Outro Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Commons license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe

    What to Do With the Ego?

    Should we kill the ego or befriend it? In this episode, we explore the ego not as an enemy to destroy, but as a fluid interface between consciousness and the world. Through reflections on creative collaboration, improv, and the art of being selfish, we discover that the real problem isn't having an ego — it's losing awareness when one of our personas hijacks the controls. 📍Chapters 00:00 — What Should We Do With the Ego? 03:09 — When Ego Disrupts Group Flow 07:20 — Why “Getting Rid of the Ego” Doesn’t Work 11:40 — Ego as Boundary: Where the Self Begins 15:46 — What Happens When the Self Has No Borders 21:21 — Ego as the Interface Between Inner and Outer Worlds 23:46 — Identity as a Living, Shifting Narrative 30:20 — Why Structure Is Necessary for Flow 34:55 — When the Word “Ego” Gets in the Way 38:53 — When Ego Shifts From Play Into Control 43:49 — Playing a Role vs Being Taken Over by It 49:20 — Intensity Isn’t the Problem — Loss of Awareness Is 54:30 — The Observer Helps, But It’s Not the Whole Answer 1:05:10 — Living With the Ego Instead of Fighting It 1:10:38 — Staying in Relationship With Ego Over Time Find us here: * Life in Flow Podcast * Yulia Bogdanova * Polina Khodova * Irina Mishina 💌 Resources used under Creative Common license: Music “Echolocation” by airtone, source: CcMixter Get full access to Life In Flow at www.lifeinflowgroup.com/subscribe
