BRAINTED with Laura Ekes

Heyyy there! ❓ I know so much about myself… so why am I still not changing?In this episode, I did something a little different.I took my favorite moments from the Dr. K x Steven Bartlett (DOAC) conversation — and combined them with my own reflections, interpretations, and lived experience.This is not the full interview.It’s not meant to replace it.It’s a distilled version for the moments when you’re curious… but don’t have 2+ hours to dive in.We explore questions like:🧠 Are we actually healing — or just consuming healing content?🔁 Why doesn’t awareness automatically lead to change?⚖️ Are we stuck in a “productive standstill” of self-understanding?💭 What if self-help becomes the distraction from real transformation?🚪 And what does it actually take to change a life — not just analyze it?Don’t forget to #staybrainted 🧠 🎨 💜 and share your thoughts on social media.Inspiration for this episode:🥼 Dr. K x Steven Bartlett (DOAC) — “We’re producing millions of lonely, addicted and directionless men and women”📚 Brianna Wiest — The Mountain Is You (self-sabotage & inner patterns)🎬 Marty – Life Is Short (2026 documentary on Martin Short)This episode is structured into chapters:0:17 The 11 PM Conversation2:43 Why Our Brain Lies to Us While Growing6:43 Why Success is Sometimes Just an Escape11:14 Why Real Contentment Feels So Damn Boring to Us14:04 How Real Change Begins in the Microcosm16:29 The Art of the Truce and Making Peace Within

Heyyy there!❓ Who are you… when you stop performing for others?A few days ago, someone told me I’m “not authentic.”And instead of brushing it off, it stayed with me — not as a label, but as a question.It made me reflect on something deeper:Who am I, when I stop explaining myself?In this episode, we explore:Why “Who am I?” is one of the oldest human questionsHow constantly being perceived shapes our identityThe tension between authenticity, adaptation, and belongingWhy over-explaining or withdrawing are often the same responseWhat “alignment” really means beyond performanceMaybe authenticity isn’t about becoming someone new.Maybe it’s about slowly untangling what was never truly you.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 🧠 🎨 💜 and share your thoughts on social media.📚 INSPO:Roxie Nafousi — Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life

❓Wie verändert sich unser Stress, wenn wir ihn nicht nur bekämpfen, sondern verstehen?In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief in das Thema Perspektiven, positives Denken und Stress ein.

Heyyy there!❓Have you ever noticed how things can finally go well in your life — and somehow you still feel uncomfortable instead of happy?In this episode I’m talking about a question that felt very confronting to ask myself:Are we sometimes not afraid of happiness… but simply unfamiliar with it?Inspired by the Yes Theory podcast Break Free From Your Old Ways and Brianna Wiest’s The Mountain Is You, I reflect on self-sabotage, emotional comfort zones, and why we sometimes stay attached to versions of ourselves that we already outgrew.This episode is about the strange feeling of trusting chaos more than calm, why peace can feel undeserved when you grew up expecting problems, and how small moments of courage — like speaking your truth or people pleasing less — can slowly change your direction.This is not an expert episode. Just honest reflections, patterns I noticed in myself, and maybe a question you might recognize in your own life too.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Inspiration:🎙️ Yes Theory Podcast – Break Free From Your Old Ways📚 Brianna Wiest – The Mountain Is You📚 Stefanie Stahl – So stärken Sie Ihr Selbstwertgefühl: Damit das Leben einfach wird

Heyyy there!❓What if fear speaks up exactly when you’re getting closer to what you want? In this episode, I revisit a book that quietly found me twice in life: My Friend Fear by Meera Lee Patel. Rereading it made me realize how much my relationship with fear has changed — and how differently I understand it today.We explore the idea that fear might not be the enemy we’ve been taught to fight, but a signal pointing toward growth, desire, and change. From inherited fears and scarcity thinking to imposter syndrome and the quiet background anxiety many of us carry, this episode reflects on how fear forms and why learning to listen to it can feel both uncomfortable and freeing.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Inspiration:📖 My Friend Fear — Meera Lee Patel

Heyyy there!❓ Ever shared something — online or in a conversation — and only afterwards felt that quiet “maybe that was too much” feeling?In this episode, I reflect on the internet term “Yappers Regret” and what it reveals about oversharing, vulnerability, and the pressure to be authentic in public spaces. I talk about why sharing can feel deeply connecting — and strangely draining at the same time. Why people say they want honesty, but not always the emotional weight that comes with it.This episode isn’t about shaming openness or promoting silence. It’s about intention. About timing. About choosing who we share with and why and when. Inspired by reflections from Radhi and Jay, we explore how sharing something before it’s fully formed can affect our energy, motivation, and emotional clarity — and how being selective can actually help us feel more grounded, not less real.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Inspiration:🎧 ⁠Jay Shetty Podcast und A Really Good Cry with Radhi Devlukia - Jay & Radhi: Why You Should Probably STOP Sharing as Much..

❓Was gibt uns Hoffnung, wenn das Leben unsicher wird – und wie bleibt sie gerade dann lebendig?In dieser besonderen Weihnachtsfolge ist Gästin Laura bei uns zu Gast, mit der mich eine lange gemeinsame Geschichte verbindet. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über Hoffnung – nicht als abstrakten Begriff, sondern als gelebte Erfahrung zwischen Glaube, Liebe und Vertrauen.Wir sprechen darüber, wie Hoffnung durch ihren christlichen Glauben getragen werden kann, wie sie sich über die Jahre verändert und warum sie gerade in Zeiten von Umbrüchen, Unsicherheit und Neubeginn so wichtig ist. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber:• Warum Weihnachten Licht und Einsamkeit in sich trägt• Ob Hoffnung eine Entscheidung ist – oder etwas, das uns findet• Wie Glaube Halt geben kann, ohne Druck auszuüben• Welche Rituale, Gebete oder inneren Haltungen helfen, wenn Hoffnung fehlt• Was wir Menschen mitgeben können, die dieses Weihnachten wenig Zuversicht spürenEine warme, ehrliche und tiefgehende Folge über Hoffnung als innere Haltung – und als leise Kraft, die uns durch schwere Zeiten trägt.Viel Spaß beim Zuhören – wir freuen uns auf eure Gedanken 💜See you soon and #staybrainted 🧠🖌️

Heyyy there! ❓ How did this year actually feel — not how it looked, but how it felt?In this short year-end and new year episode, I reflect on coming back after a longer pause through 2024 and the beginning of 2025.We talk about repetition, and about why brainted was never meant to deliver something super new or exciting every single week — but something familiar, grounding, and human.This podcast is a mental training space.A place for reminders, not reinvention.For returning, not starting over.We reflect on repetition, structure, storytelling, and what it means to keep showing up gently — without pressure, without noise.This episode is an invitation to slow down, take a breath, and step into the new year without having everything figured out — maybe with a little more inner peace.I’m really glad you’re here.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜

Heyyy there!❓ Ever noticed how you finally get sick after a stressful phase — even when things felt “good” or exciting?In this episode, I’m recording with a cold and reflecting on why my body needed a pause. Inspired by The Four Ways of Wellbeing by Nicola Elliott and an interview with Dr. Deepak Ravindran, I talk about the link between stress, the nervous system, and our immune response — and why the body doesn’t really distinguish between emotional and physical stress.This episode isn’t about pushing through or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding what stress does to the body, and gently coming back to the basics that matter most when we’re run down: sleep, gentle movement, and mind-body practices like Yoga Nidra.No expert advice — just my reflections, something I read, and a reminder to be a little kinder to yourself when your body asks you to slow down.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Inspiration:📚 Nicola Elliott – The Four Ways of Wellbeing🩺 Dr. Deepak Ravindran – The Pain-Free Mindset

Heyyy there!❓Ever noticed how money can feel heavy, confusing, or even a little scary sometimes? Or how you know exactly what to do… and then somehow don’t? 💸In this episode, I’m coming back to a book that changed the way I see money — Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass at Making Money. I share what stayed with me, the exercises I once did and stopped, and how revisiting them now feels like a quiet reset. No numbers, no formulas, just reflections, small practices, and a gentle reminder: your relationship with money can be curious, patient, and surprisingly kind.This isn’t expert advice—just my story, some simple exercises, and an invitation to remember: you’re not alone in this.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜 and let yourself come back to what matters, one small step at a time.Inspiration:📚 Jen Sincero - You Are a Badass at Making Money

Heyyy there!❓Have you ever found yourself spiraling the moment your plans fall apart — wondering why even the smallest plot twist can feel like everything inside you is collapsing at once?In this episode, we dive deep into those chaotic moments when life shifts unexpectedly — from cancelled plans to emotional overwhelm — and explore how to stay grounded instead of losing your inner peace. We look at how ancient Stoicism (hi Marcus Aurelius) meets modern emotional wisdom (thank you Brené Brown), learn why naming your feelings actually calms the brain, and uncover simple, real-life tools to move through chaos with more clarity and self-kindness.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜Wishing you moments of ease — even when life gets messy 🧠🖌️Inspiration:🏛️ Marcus Aurelius  🎥 Brené Brown at The Diary of a CEO

❓Warum streiten wir eigentlich so, wie wir streiten – und kann man lernen, Konflikte wirklich zu verstehen statt nur zu gewinnen?In dieser Folge ist Yagmur wieder zu Gast und wir tauchen tief in das Thema Streitkultur ein.Ausgehend von „Wie man Freunde gewinnt“ von Dale Carnegie sprechen wir darüber, warum es kein richtiges Streitengibt – aber viele unbewusste Muster, die uns prägen.Wir erkunden, wie toxisches Verhalten, früh gelernte Kommunikationsformen und unser emotionales Erbe aus der Kindheit beeinflussen, wie wir reagieren, wann wir triggerbar sind und warum manche Konflikte immer wiederkehren.Außerdem sprechen wir darüber:• Was Shadow Work wirklich bedeutet – und warum sie bei Konflikten unvermeidbar ist• Wie man erkennt, ob man gerade reagiert oder reflektiert• Warum Zuhören oft stärker ist als Überzeugen• Weshalb wir von unseren Eltern nicht gelernt haben, wie man streitet – und es jetzt selbst nachholen müssen• Wie man in Beziehungen (Freunde, Familie, Partner) weniger verletzt und mehr verbindetEine ehrliche, verletzliche und gleichzeitig befreiende Folge über Kommunikation, Selbstarbeit und die Frage:Wie können wir streiten, ohne uns zu verlieren?Viel Spaß beim Zuhören – wir freuen uns auf eure Gedanken 💜See you soon and #staybrainted 🧠🖌️

Heyyy there! ❓Have you ever had one of those weeks where your body speaks louder than your mind — and no matter how calm you try to be, the pain just doesn’t listen? That was me, not long ago.Five days. Five full-blown migraine attacks.In this short and mindful Get Brainted episode, I talk about migraines — yes, the real kind, not just headaches — and what it means to live with a body that sometimes just says “no.” From years of trial and error, I share a few small tricks and fun body facts that actually helped me relieve pain and tension.From ancient acupressure points and peppermint oil rituals to the surprising science of simply looking up. Because sometimes, healing doesn’t mean doing more — it means pausing, breathing, and giving your body a little kindness. 🌿This episode isn’t medical advice — I’m not a doctor, just a curious human experimenting, reading, and sharing what I learn.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜 and share your own mindful migraine or stress-relief tricks on social media — I’d love to hear from you!

Heyyy there!❓Have you ever felt the weight of loss so deeply that it reshaped the way you live — and wondered if grief is just sadness, or a quiet companion teaching you how to love differently? In this episode — one of the hardest for me so far — I allow myself to be truly vulnerable, sharing from a place of pain. I explore the complex world of grief and loss, from early encounters with death as a teenager to the sudden passing of close friends and loved ones. We reflect on how grief changes shape over time, and how it can coexist with moments of joy, laughter, and love.Inspired by Tara Ward, we explore practical and gentle ways to befriend our pain, honour those we’ve lost, and embrace self-compassion on the journey of healing. Because grief isn’t something to “fix.” It’s something to live with — and through it, we can learn to breathe again. 🌬️Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜 Wishing you moments of peace, even in the sadness 🧠🖌️Inspiration:📘 Tara Ward — The the Book of Healing: How to Overcome Loss and Thrive in Challenging Times🎥A Video about Loss and Grief - A very real and personal Story from Thomas Brag

Heyyy there! ❓Have you ever expected someone to show up — and they didn’t?Not with a call, not with a personal explanation. Just silence —or just a text message.It hurts, right? But sometimes, what breaks our expectations also opens our hearts in unexpected ways.In this short episode, I quickly dive into how we can handle disappointment, control, and the quiet art of expecting differently.From a deeply personal story about my vernissage — to exploring how letting go of “how things should be” can bring us closer to what truly is.Because maybe, expectation isn’t about control — it’s about trust.Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜 and share your reflections on social media.Inspirations:💻 Susan David — Award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist

Heyyy there! ❓Have you ever opened up to an AI — maybe late at night when you couldn’t sleep — and wondered why it actually made you feel better? In this short episode, I explore the curious world of AI therapy — the comfort of talking to something that doesn’t judge, and the limits of being “heard” by something that can’t really feel. Can a machine ever understand human pain, or is it simply holding a mirror to our own mind? Let’s quickly dive into what happens when technology meets emotion, and why the line between support and substitution might be thinner than we think. Don’t forget to #staybrainted 💜 and share your reflections on social media. Wishing you a peaceful day — and remember: sometimes talking, even to a machine, is the first step back to yourself. 🧠🖌️ Inspiration: 📚 Sherry Turkle – “Reclaiming Conversation” 🎧 Hidden Brain: Does artificial intelligence lead to artificial bias?💻mcml: AI for Personalized Psychiatry

Heyyy there!❓Why do people risk everything to stand on top of the world — only to realize that Everest isn’t a mountain to conquer, but a mirror meant to humble us? 🏔️In this episode, I dive into one of the world’s most fascinating and dangerous places: Mount Everest. A story we all think we know — but do we, really?From the legends of Mallory and Irvine, Messner to the Sherpa heroes and the commercialization of the world’s highest peak, this episode explores what Chomolungma truly represents: humility, ego, spirituality, and the fine line between ambition and arrogance.It’s not about facts alone — it’s about meaning.
