Are you ready for something fun?

This week you'll learn how to access your internal ChatGPT - all your knowledge, experiences, etc. - through meeting up with your Future Self.

Want to figure out how to achieve your goals?

How to feel more connected?

Or anything else Google can't answer for you?

Then tune into this Episode to learn how to access your inner knowing and find the perfect answers...

This week, I share the secret to slowly and gently overcoming your perfectionism and fear of failure: start doing something you currently SUCK at.

Something that you cannot ‘hack’ with your smart mind.

Something creative, that involves skill.

Something that will cause you to be frustrated.

Something you cannot control.

You’ll learn what kind of things will help you do that - AND have fun in the process.

How to set it up so that in addition to failing and being frustrated, you will learn insanely valuable life skills over the next six months.

And I share my own creative project of choice - evolving around one of my favourite things.

Are you reconsidering something you decided on earlier?

But are you not sure whether this is a smart idea or a cop-out?

Then tune in for this week's episode where I give you a list of smart questions to help you figure it out.

With the questions, you'll quickly get clarity on whether it is a good idea to rethink things - or whether you are indeed being a bit flaky.

You'll learn how to differentiate between:

true goals vs. 'should' goals

avoidance of discomfort vs. change of circumstance

the superficial stories and the underlying motivations to change your decision

And last, but definitely not least: the importance of having your own back, always (as illustrated by a Brother's Grimm Fairytale).

You’ll also hear all about my decision to cancel a trip to Venice and spend a week in the North of the Netherlands instead…

Are you happy with your circle of friends? Or is there room for more people in your life?

If it’s the latter - as it is for probably 90% of gifted adults, this podcast is for you.

You will learn:

Why navigating friendships is different for smart humans;

The things that can trip you up when trying to meet new people as well as maintain friendships;

The Smart Friendship Pyramid that you need to start building if you want more fun people in your life.

Did you know that you can change the way you think about yourself?

In this week's Episode I show you how to

uncover the self-sabotaging labels that you are subconsciously applying to yourself

replace them with new ones

find evidence to support them

rewire your neural pathways to support your new, more supportive labels

If you can, come to this Episode with a piece of paper and something to write with, because there will be a few prompts to play with.

Do you often experience feelings of guilt?

Do you have a hard time setting boundaries and saying 'no' to people without feeling bad?

Then check out this Episode in which you'll learn

the difference between Real and Unreal Guilt

how to figure out which is which

how to find and change the underlying beliefs that lead to Unreal Guilt

Pervasive guilt undermines self-confidence, authenticity, joy - all the things that make it fun to be alive.

Use the steps in this Episode to become aware of it - and let go.

Thinking of starting a gratitude practice?

Or just feeling you should be WAY more grateful of everything you've achieved, accumulated, created?

Then this Episode is for you.

Listen in to learn why I think that for some smart humans gratitude practice is a bad idea, despite all the health benefits attached to it - and what I suggest you do instead.

This week's Episode is a bit of a rant because I'm so mad at the harm that has been and is being done to humans with smart minds by telling them they need to change the essence of who they are in order to be successful.

In this Episode you'll learn why this is a big fat lie, what it will cost you to keep subscribing to it, and how to turn it around through:

Uncovering the internalised voices

Allowing the 'ouch'

Asking what your need

And then providing yourself with those resources

If you have children, this is even more important to be aware of because we want to break the cycle of abuse.

Do you have trouble trying to visualise your goals and really inhabiting that vision, as if it were real?

Then you have a powerful clue that something is off.

In this Episode you'll learn four questions to ask when visualisation doesn't feel real:

Is it YOUR goal?

Do you have the visual vocabulary to see it?

Is there a subconscious conflict?

Does it trigger your nervous system?

And what to do when the answer to any of these is 'yes'.

You'll learn how to bridge the gap visually to create visions that work for YOU - and what to do when you get stuck.

Are you using visualisation yet with your smart mind? If not, check out this episode on why you should, and how to do it.

Are you ready to make changing your life and achieving your goals much easier?

Yeah, you read that right.

It gets to be easy.

Breathe out, relax, and VISUALISE.

In this Episode you'll learn

that you already know how to visualise

the neuroscience of how and why visualisation works

what areas of your life you can use visualisation on

how to visualise in an effective way
