Hello, Void!

Conversations at the Intersection of Psyche and Uncertainty.In this deeply present episode of Hello, Void!, Kate speaks with Brussels-based energy therapist Anja Hertkorn about the emotional overwhelm of modern life—and how to anchor into calm when everything around you feels like chaos.They explore:* Why reacting less and aligning more is the key to navigating uncertainty* EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) as a nervous system reset—and Anja’s go-to tool for real-time emotional clarity* How burnout isn’t just physical—it’s existential* The difference between regulated vs. calm (and why both matter)* Why asking for help—from guides, angels, or the universe—works* How women, especially, are being called back to self-respect, vulnerability, and clear boundariesThis episode is both soothing and activating. If you’ve been feeling emotionally wiped, spiritually scattered, or like the ground keeps shifting beneath you, Anja’s grounded wisdom will help you breathe again.💡 Mantra to Keep: “It’s not a luxury to care for yourself anymore. It’s a necessity.”Anja’s Free Gift From the Episode:Access a 3-step audio and PDF guide, The Feminine Way Back to Love, to help you soften, open, and reconnect—with yourself.https://anjahertkorn.com/back-to-loveAbout Anja HertkornFor over 25 years, I’ve been guiding people — primarily women — on their path to greater light, autonomy, and inner freedom.

Yoga, meditation, karate, dance, nutrition, alternative healing, and spiritual teachings are not just interests, but integral parts of how I live and work.Originally from Germany, I’ve made Brussels my home for the past 35 years. I’m also a proud mother of three wonderful daughters.

Conversations at the Intersection of Psyche and Uncertainty.In this honest and grounding episode of Hello, Void!, Kate sits down with mindset coach Danielle Mac Mahon of CoSpace Coaching to unpack what high-functioning burnout really looks like—and why slowing down is the most radical success move of all.Inside the conversation:* The three pillars Danielle uses with clients to transform burnout into clarity: regulate, rewire, reclaim* Why perfectionism is often just pain avoidance dressed as ambition* What our nervous system is actually trying to tell us when we feel overwhelmed* The myth of “doing it all” and the quiet power of doing less, better* Why crafting, scribbling with crayons, or dancing in your kitchen might be the most therapeutic thing you do all weekThis is the episode for anyone who looks fine on the outside but feels like they’re running on fumes. Danielle’s blend of science, soul, and deep permission will give you room to breathe—and maybe even play again.🧠 Favorite Reframe: “Burnout isn’t the cost of success. It’s a sign you’ve been overriding yourself for too long.”Danielle’s Free Gift From the Episode:Check out the Reset and Rewire 3-part video series — a simple intro to neuroscience-backed mindset tools.https://cospacecoaching.thrivecart.com/reset-and-rewire-freebie/About Danielle Mac MahonTo put it simply: I’m passionate about people and want to help you take empowered action towards creating a life that makes you feel fulfilled, excited and at peace.Our minds can often create false stories about what we want from life or what we think we deserve. Our powerful minds thrive on repetition and safety, which often times lead us to become paralysed by inaction and allowing those inner thoughts and self doubt to take over.The common lines aka limiting self beliefs of ‘I can’t do it..’ ‘I am not good enough’ coupled with stress and overwhelm can make it feel impossible to even think about taking a baby step forward. I know, because I too have been there. Prolonged stress and overwhelm, along with perfectionism of the degree, forced me to completely burnout. That’s where coaching came in.Coaching with Neuroscience works to smash these limiting beliefs, cultivate a mindset that fuels limitless potential and create a powerful sense of self awareness that fosters a sense of calm in our frantic world.

I needed to update my mindset.I have developed a 3-step system that includes:• Self-Love• Forgiveness• Visualization of the future I wantUsing these tools I was able to remove my obstacle and close that 15% gap and to wellness. The best part is that the Remove My Obstacle system works on problems other than cancer.Visit her website now for details on her Leadership Fire program, launching June 13 (50% off for listeners!).💻 Website: https://yoursuccesscoachkathleen.com/ About Kate PaullinHi, I’m Kate Paullin, a holistic depth coach, reflective writer, and deeply curious human.

This discussion is with David Prorok (read more about him below!). “You can’t mute pain without muting joy.” That’s what we landed on. It started as a casual reflection on bittersweetness—how life doesn't split neatly into good or bad, but swirls together like cream in coffee. And then it went deeper. Way deeper. We talked about blinders. About the cost of emotional self-protection. How trying not to feel the “bad” stuff robs us of our full capacity to feel the good. It’s not just about grief or shame. It’s about aliveness. When you avoid discomfort, you shrink your emotional aperture. You end up living on a narrow band—numb, detached, "fine" at best. But when you expand your ability to sit with discomfort— Not fix it. Not outrun it. Just be with it— You build a bigger container for joy too. That’s what David Prorok teaches through something called RAIN-GPT (based on Tara Brach’s method). It’s not just tech. It’s a healing tool. You walk through: * Recognize what’s present. * Allow it (no resistance, no judgment). * Investigate where it lives in your story. * Nurture the part of you that needs compassion. Simple steps. Wildly powerful. We talked about the self-talk that heals you more than any closure text ever could. We talked about choosing curiosity over self-judgment. We talked about stepping off the "wheel" of suffering and finally seeing it from the outside. And honestly? We talked about how radical it is to meet the present moment without trying to change it. This episode won’t tell you how to “fix your mindset” or “manifest your best life.” It’ll remind you that you’re already whole— Even in the mess. Especially in the mess.
