Kat's Podcast
44 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsCovering unconventional ways of living & thinking, this podcast is here to empower you and help you live a freer life. Together with my guests I’m covering topics of self-development and personal growth, holistic health & lifestyle, mindfulness, yoga, living more naturally and reconnected with ourselves and nature.
Freedom has special emphasis as a core topic. You can listen to inspiring stories and personal journeys driven by a quest for freedom in my signature Freedom Lifestyle Series.
Based on my own life experience, I created this podcast to show alternative ideas that help us re-empower ourselves – from the inside out, through the reconnection with our true selves and with nature, through more freedom in our outer lives and our inner worlds, through new perspectives on and new perceptions of life. So we can all live with more freedom and in our true power.
In solo shows and conversations with my guests, I provide you with inspiring real life stories, embodied wisdom, empowerment practices as well hands-on tips and tools.
Enjoy!
