The Weird Ones

Welcome to The Weird Ones! This podcast invites you to break free from the norm, embrace your weirdness, and live your passion for life. Here, we celebrate those who see the world differently—the dreamers, innovators, and rebels who refuse to fit into conventional molds. I'm your host, Birgitta Granström—a Swede in California and a pioneer in the Swedish coaching industry. For decades, I've been on a quest to answer two profound questions: "What is the meaning of your life?" and "Why do people behave the way they do?" After years of exploration, these answers crystallized into the LifeSpider System™, a revolutionary framework designed to unleash your true potential. In The Weird Ones, we challenge traditional theories and confront societal norms, attracting free spirits and brilliant minds. If you're here, it's because you're ready to think differently and explore new horizons. Educational Conversations: In this podcast, we engage in thought-provoking and educational conversations that will transform how you interact with yourself and the world. We aim to empower you to break away from the conventional and contribute to a united world driven by Passion, Peace, and Performance. With over 30 years of experience as a coach, trainer, and speaker, I've worked with thousands of clients with remarkable intuition and consciousness. Yet, many hesitate to harness their intuitive gifts, seeing them as intangible. Overcoming this resistance can elevate your creativity and unleash your hidden potential. True freedom is to act on your intuition and follow your creative instincts. That's the freedom I want you to experience—a freedom that allows you to discover and manifest your unique solutions for Humanity. Too often, the "weird ones" struggle to tap into their hidden capacities due to a lack of support and understanding from linear thinkers around them. This podcast bridges that gap and provides the encouragement you need. About The Weird Ones: If you belong to The Weird Ones, this podcast will resonate deeply. Our content and guests integrate complex insights with practical solutions while sharing their profound personal experiences of triumphs and trials. You and our guests are here for the future becasue you are weird enough to know you can change the world. As Humanity undergoes profound changes, our current structures need to be revised. We're on the cusp of a transformational revolution—a shift towards a new way of living and understanding life. The Weird Ones is here to ease this transition and help you navigate the evolving landscape. Our mission is to empower you to step out of the conventional box, trust your intuition, and embrace your powerful authenticity. When people align with their true selves, competition fades, consumption decreases, and compassion flourishes. These are the vital ingredients needed to address our planet's pressing challenges. Transformation begins with the present moment, wherever you are on your life journey. Act on what's happening around you, and life will unfold in ways beyond your expectations.

    PART V - Enter-anxiety and Winnie-the-Pooh-syndrome

This last chapter is a poignant meditation on the nature of completion, fear, and the realization that, sometimes, the search for an ending is itself the beginning of something new.
