Soul hugs

This episode is about a first insights into why I’m back,the shift in perspective that comes with returning, and how it feels this time.I talk about sorting things out and seeing things differently — especially when it comes to consumption and clothes — and the relief that comes with that.It’s also about the background stories that led to booking the flight and coming back…The feelings, from excitement to feeling afraid.

Welcome back to Soulhugs! After a quiet break I’m happy to you give you a small catch up <3

In this last episode of the year, I want to bring positivity and gratitude a little closer to you. For many of us, this year has been challenging, yet we shouldn’t forget the good moments or the lessons hidden in the hard times. It’s about letting this year go with gratitude and peace, and finding rituals that feel meaningful and joyful as we welcome the new year.

In this second part of our self-assessment, I’m sharing how we wrap it up, along with insights drawn from wisdom, facts, and therapy — in the hope that it supports you on your way toward the life you truly wish for. This part is about happiness, feeling, and reflection, rather than comparison, judgment, and hustling.

In this episode, I’ll start by sharing what I would recommend a friend to do if they want to change and I don’t know them well enough —not only internally, but also certain aspects of their life.Please keep in mind that I’m not a therapist or a coach. I’ve simply been through therapy myself for many many years, and friends often come to me asking for my perspective.My goal is to bring more love and awareness into this world, and to move from judging to feeling. And for that, we need to start at zero.

New concept, same podcast.In this episode, I welcome you back and share the first ideas I had for changing the podcast concept. (Spoiler: the concept has already shifted again — which is why I cut out the text part)I also show a very honest, emotional, and vulnerable side of myself. Support and interaction are such important parts of developing, creating and growing, and lately I’ve been feeling a bit left alone in that process. I wasn’t feeling my best when I recorded this, and I talk about how important it is to remember that we’re not always in top form — even when we’re doing something we love.

Calming down after the last episode with a little bonus chitchat about upgrading, visa regulations, and finding a husband.(Not to be taken too seriously)”Enjoy :) A new episode is coming next week, so stay tuned!

From Habits to Healing: A Reflection on Atomic HabitsEverything Starts Within.In today’s episode, I reflect on the well-known book Atomic Habits and translate its ideas into our daily lives — to help you see how everything we learn can be adjusted to your own personality. This episode begins with Atomic Habits, moves into the idea of finding your own light, and ends with a conversation about the relationship between social media and spirituality.(I know that sounds wild but give it a chance) My intention is to bring spirituality closer to people — because many are afraid of what they don’t yet understand, and spirituality is often one of those things. But there is no ‘right’ definition for it; it begins within, and we each shape our own perception of what spirituality means to us.(That’s the actual wild thing, sorry)I also talk about how social media can be used to awaken people — a movement that might start to unfold in 2026.

In today’s episode, I’ll talk about my last four weeks, which were filled with uncertainty and visa issues. It’s not only an update, but also includes some lessons and wise moments I took from it and went through. Additionally, I’ll share my visions not only for the podcast but the beginning of not just a new chapter, but a whole new life. Cheers to new beginnings!

In this episode, I’ll finish up with my last three texts and continue with my Whistler Wisdom — what I’ve learned and what I wish I had known before coming here. Hopefully, it will help you understand Whistler, its people, and its dynamics more quickly, and make your settling-in easier.I want you to have a broader horizon, to stay curious and open, and hopefully become the change yourself in a place like Whistler.If you hate me for saying the things I said, then please do. I’m okay with people disagreeing with me — as long as it happens in a respectful and open exchange. I’m not afraid to speak my truth, even though I know there’s never just one truth. My intentions come from the heart. I want to help people. I want people to feel seen and heard. I want them to broaden their horizons, to stay open and curious, and to live their lives to the fullest.

In this episode, I talk about what you should know about Whistler – its dynamics, its people, and a different perspective on a place everyone seems to adore.I’m taking you on a journey through my time in Whistler, sharing the texts, thoughts, and emotions I wrote down to help you form your own idea of what Whistler is and can be — beyond what everyone always says about this place.How great it is, yes — but also from another point of view: from someone deep, reflective, and curious to truly get to know people.Chapters:Introduction – Explanation of my perceptionMin 4:00: Highly sensitivity – how I perceive lifeMin 7:55: The stage of life I was in before coming to WhistlerMin 9:20: Text 1Min 12:22: Texts 2–5 – arriving in Whistler, catching the vibes, doubting myself, asking myself how I can connectMin 15:50: Going out as a HSP – the need to adjustMin 17:55: Text 6 – The Beauty of LifeMin 19:00: Reminder – take a break, take a breathMin 20:18: Text 8 – Does That Mean Being an Adult?Min 22:45: “How do you like this place?” – Text 9, talking myself into being happyMin 24:17: Text 10Min 27:08: Text 11 – how much influence people have on our own thinkingMin 28:05: Text 12 – Rock BottomMin 33:00: Time afterMin 35:00: How I pull myself out of downsMin 40:55: Texts 13/14 – admitting where I am (May)

Continuing the episode, I talk about the deep low I went through after Toronto. The stories behind the texts on Instagram. I was in a really bad place — hurt, empty, and alone. But, as life always shows, light finds its way back in. I share how I navigated those dark days, what helps me handling moments like these, how I pull myself out, and how I reached a place where I now can leave Whistler in peace and with a full heart.The next chapter is just around the corner.

In this episode, I open up about what happened after Montreal and why I unexpectedly disappeared for a month.I share the stories behind the texts I posted on Instagram – the moments of experiencing my soul is dying, no longer recognizing myself, and feeling an emptiness so deep it hurt.

In this final episode of the series, I talk about my work at the Formula One Grand Prix and the warning signs my body sent me after pushing beyond my limits the days before. At the end of the episode, there’s a short clip sharing how it felt being back in Whistler and what I’m planning to do next — which I’ll record in the upcoming episode.

In this episode, I talk about how and why I pushed beyond my limits while already running on empty-and what it led to. I found myself in situations that felt written out of a movie, while being in survival mode at the same time, doubting myself and feeling deeply unhappy with who I was. Between risking opportunities and inner conflicts, I kept going while already feeling exhausted… until I found myself completely alone in an extreme situation, reaching emotional exhaustion, physical overload, and mental overwhelm. This is a story about pushing too far, feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how a single question triggered and awakened one of my quiet dreams —about 72 surreal, crazy, and intense hours, pushing myself to the edge and living moments that felt like a movie.

In the first chapter of my Montreal Series, I reflect on what I already sensed in the previous episode. Things are becoming clearer. From realizing what Whistler truly does to me — how I feel here — to finally accepting it. I went to Montreal without a plan, going with the flow, just following my intuition. But then, my body sent clear signals, and suddenly, I found myself in a mission much bigger than I ever expected.

In this episode, I will talk about the strong feeling of knowing something will happen — about being in a transformation I can’t yet see, but deeply feel. About longing for a feeling for a long time, and now living that longing. About being emotionally drained and tired in a community that performs, but does not breathe. About people, depth, and a sense of belonging.

In this episode, I will go even deeper as deep, present myself emotionally fully naked and ask Chat GPT to go deeper than before. Please listen with compassion—and maybe take this as an invitation to reflect on your own truths too.“Chat GPT,Today, something different.I want to uncover the masks I‘m currently wearing, the roles I‘m playing and the illusions I‘m believing.Please guide me through this process by asking me 10 reflective questions one at a time to help me recognise the stories I‘m telling myself.After I answer the 10th question, please step into the role of my higher self and analyse my responses, identify the top negative patterns present in my life and the top positive patterns I can embrace and grow.Be direct and truthful, tough love is welcome:)Provide me with daily affirmations to support my growth, actionable steps to change my behaviours and embody my authentic self and a message of encouragement from my higher self to celebrate how far I‘ve come from my journey:)”

In this episode, I will go as deep as I could ever go and present myself emotionally fully naked. No filters – just the truth. I asked Chat GPT to “uncover the masks,” to deep dive and analyze my behavior patterns, the deepest lies I’m telling myself, and the illusions I’m believing. Please listen with compassion—and maybe take this as an invitation to reflect on your own truths too.“Chat GPT,Today, something different.I want to uncover the masks I‘m currently wearing, the roles I‘m playing and the illusions I‘m believing.Please guide me through this process by asking me 10 reflective questions one at a time to help me recognise the stories I‘m telling myself.After I answer the 10th question, please step into the role of my higher self and analyse my responses, identify the top negative patterns present in my life and the top positive patterns I can embrace and grow.Be direct and truthful, tough love is welcome:)Provide me with daily affirmations to support my growth, actionable steps to change my behaviours and embody my authentic self and a message of encouragement from my higher self to celebrate how far I‘ve come from my journey:)”

In today’s episode, we’re diving into something we all face sooner or later — going home.For some, it’s a warm and joyful return. For others, it’s complicated, even painful.I’m opening up about my own experience of returning to a place that no longer feels like mine — the quiet struggles of slipping back into an old life, surrounded by people who think they still know you.We’ll explore the feeling of numbness, the loop of familiar routines, and the inner conflict between who you were and who you’ve become.

In this second part of the episode Jacob and I are talking about social media, societal pressure and some really important and good questions about opening up as a man.
