Tankespjärn with Helena Roth
201 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingLearning how to do gentle towards yourself can be, for you, the key to loving living life. At least, that's what doing gentle did to me, Helena Roth, once I understood that it was actually an option.
Imagine having turned 30+ before ever realizing it's possible to be gentle with myself. From that moment in time, I've re-learned how to be in the world - both inside and outside of myself. Here I will be sharing the tools and tricks I've picked up along the way, hoping it will help you transform from a victim of the epidemic of harshness into a proud practitioner of doing gentle.

All is not going to plan.
January 25, 2023 19:29 - 9 minutes - 22 MBThe wintering will continue, and season four of Meandering Conversations are put on hold. For how long, no one knows. There might be the sporadic pod episode in this feed though, perhaps me reading a few blog posts, the occasional solitary reflection or perhaps a random meandering conversation or two. Who knows. In the meantime, if you need a dose of tankespjärn now and again, check out the backlog (in your pod feed or on YouTube), there’s plenty to revisit. And I invite you to join me for...
20. Own your reactions
January 21, 2023 01:00 - 4 minutes - 10.9 MBFirst published on my blog on August 18, 2020. Read the post here → I am no longer willing to let myself be used as the scapegoat. I am no longer willing to step up when others claim that my words, my deeds, my actions, are what angers them, what upsets them or what scares them. Because in truth, it is their reaction to my words, my deeds, my actions, that angers, upsets and scares them. This never means I get to act like a brute, avoiding responsibility for my words, deeds and actions. Th...
19. Maybe violence isn't all that bad
January 17, 2023 01:00 - 5 minutes - 13.3 MBFirst published on my blog on March 31, 2022. Read the post here → Maybe violence isn’t all that bad?! The first time I entertained that statement/question I shocked myself. A long time ago (August of 2013) I wrote a piece entitled Violence is never the answer and I absolutely, one-hundred-percent believed it to be True. Capital T Truth. But now… No. I no longer think it is. I am greatly influenced by Daniel Quinn and My Ishmael, where he speaks at length to this. I remember picking appl...
18. It all impacts you
January 14, 2023 01:00 - 4 minutes - 9.92 MBFirst published on my blog on January 23, 2021. Read the post here → The bottom line: Use discernment when choosing the company you keep, in all manners possible. Be it friends, books, newsfeeds or food, drink and exercise. And. So. On. It a l l impacts you, either short-, mid- or long-term. The importance of the people I choose to spend time with, the books I choose to read, the podcasts I choose to listen to, the programs I choose to watch are as vital aspects of not simply sustaining ...
17. It came from me
January 10, 2023 01:00 - 2 minutes - 6.2 MBFirst published on my blog on November 25, 2021. Read the post here → Riffing about an insight from the aftermath of my first divorce, where I had gotten the insight that whatever it was, it would not be accepted by my X, on the grounds of it coming from me. It wasn’t what I said. It wasn’t how I said it. It was that I said it. Or rather… it was that I said it. When that was the case, he shut down. Couldn’t, or wouldn’t, listen. That was a hard lesson to learn for me. To be so fille...
16. A dip in the sea
January 07, 2023 01:00 - 5 minutes - 12.9 MBFirst published on my blog on January 4, 2019. Read the post here → Headed for town, but before I took off on my bike, I packed a towel. Just in case. After recording a pod and having lunch with and at Caspian’s I decided: Yes. Today is the day for the first dip in the sea of the year. So I rode to the pier farthest from town, the one designated for skinny dipping. Parked my bike, took a picture and started to undress. Gloves, beanie, winter coat. Shoes, jeans, long johns, woolen socks. Wo...
15. I'm an upholder. you?
January 03, 2023 01:00 - 6 minutes - 16 MBFirst published on my blog on September 24, 2017. Read the post here → Listening to Jonathan Fields in conversation with his longtime friend Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project if you’ve read that book? I have. Enjoyed it. This conversation centers around The four tendencies, something which Gretchen apparently touched on in one of her earlier books, and then dove deeper into, making it the topic for her current book The four tendencies, a book I most definitely want to read aft...
14. Bliss
December 31, 2022 01:00 - 6 minutes - 14.4 MBFirst published on my blog on October 1, 2018. Read the post here → Presence. Closeness. Finding me. In your eyes. Seeing and being seen. In my yes. My no. Lucidity is kindness, as always. To breath; rebirthing, opening up, energies in flux. Loudly. Body contact. Hands caressing my body, soft as a feather. The strength of an arm holding me close. Letting my enjoyment be seen, heard. Speaking out loud, my inner wish. What I desire. Right now. With you and noone else. To speak. ...
13. Betrayal occurs
December 27, 2022 01:00 - 4 minutes - 10.6 MBFirst published on my blog on June 12, 2020. Read the post here → Betrayal occurs when those who have power see the trouble and look away. Betrayal occurs when people break promises, hedge on vows of help, protection, speaking for, standing with, withdrawing from acts of courage and acting preoccupied, indifferent, unaware, and so forth instead. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves I haven’t finished reading this book yet. I thought I would be done by now because I did...
12. A most memorable Christmas Eve
December 24, 2022 01:00 - 8 minutes - 20.4 MBFirst published on Creative Gallery in 2021. Read the post here → Christmas?, I asked, only to hear my mom respond over the phone, without hesitation, No. Ok, I replied, and that was that. Me and the kids, Benjamin at 16 and Alex at 21, at home for Christmas, unlike the normal Christmases, even though normal has never meant exactly the same every year. Venues have shifted, as has the number and constellation of family members. But often, Christmas has been spent at my mom’s place. When I ...
11. Certainty is a closing of the mind
December 20, 2022 01:00 - 3 minutes - 7.75 MBFirst published on my blog on March 16, 2019. Read the post here → Listens to Jonathan Fields on Good Life Project, interviewing Milton Glaser. Interesting and thought-provoking, as these podcasts usually are. However, one thing stood out enormously in this episode: I’ve spent so much of my life in certainty. Ridiculously so, and only to a certain degree can I attribute this stance to youth and ignorance. I kept up that attitude for too long, to the detriment of my own well being. I am ex...
10. Calm to be had
December 17, 2022 01:00 - 4 minutes - 10.4 MBFirst published on my blog on March 27, 2020. Read the post here → Last week as I stepped into the cold water of the ocean off the coast of Malmö in the south of Sweden, I had my phone with me. I’ve a habit to do that, now and again, as I record myself going in, staying in, sharing my experiences with cold bathing. What came out of my mouth that crisp spring afternoon, with sunshine and blue skies, as I was standing in the water, which, just like the air was around five degrees Celsius, was...
09. Ready to get out of your own costume
December 13, 2022 01:00 - 4 minutes - 9.69 MBFirst published on my blog on July 21, 2021. Read the post here → Intimacy. Into-me-see. What armor do I have on me, preventing you from seeing-into-me? (What armor do I have, preventing me from seeing-into-myself? Oh, that’s perhaps the more significant question?) What are the costumes I put on, that act as protection, a shield, admitting access into me only to a certain depth, often quite shallow? I can step into costumes such as… being a mother. A sister. A wife. Colleague, neighb...
08. Defense mechanisms
December 10, 2022 01:00 - 4 minutes - 11.2 MBFirst published on my blog on October 7, 2018. Read the post here → Defense mechanisms. How powerful they are. They run automatically in situations where something (what? The soul? My psyche? That which is beyond human, the greater force behind all in the universe, Mind?) triggers me. Runs to protect me. It’s like a script triggered by a series of logical if-this-then-that-sequences gets flipped into action, and bam, I am no longer consciously running the show that is my life, but rather ...
07. Judgment vs Discernment
December 06, 2022 01:00 - 7 minutes - 17.4 MBFirst published on my blog on May 7, 2018. Read the post here → With curiosity and a wish for more, Tess picked up on the distinction between judgment and discernment in the post on Intuitive living, and I can only agree: it is a distinction which piqued my curiosity as well. “You may have noticed that we have never discussed forgiveness. Forgiveness is not a concept of the All. Forgiveness implies judgment. Forgiveness implies right and wrong. Your Western culture and religions have creat...
06. Open.
December 03, 2022 01:00 - 2 minutes - 5.61 MBFirst published on my blog on May 24, 2020. Read the post here → Open. To receive. To give. Both actions require openness. Otherwise nothing can come in; nothing can get out. If I am not open to receiving, I am not open to giving either. Being open is my default-state. And yet… I am not always open. Sometimes I shut down, close up, not having enough energy to give, nor receive. Both actions require energy. It takes discernment and self-knowledge to know, when it is time to shut the...
05. Procrastination

04. Present to what?
November 26, 2022 01:00 - 5 minutes - 13 MBFirst published on my blog on January 25, 2021. Read the post here → The bottom line: I get to experience that which I am present to, and not experience that which I am not present to, as I cannot be present to everything all at once. I’m sitting in bed. It’s 8:24 am and I’ve just completed my regular Wim Hof breathing practice. Before that, I did a seven-minute pelvic exercise in my morning gown, standing in the kitchen awaiting the kettle coming to a boil. Just drank the by-now lukewarm...
03. I'm not enough
November 22, 2022 01:00 - 4 minutes - 9.43 MBFirst published on my blog on January 10, 2017. Read the post here → The feeling that I’m not enough. That no matter how hard I try, how hard I work, I will never be able to do enough, never able to do all that which I feel I should be doing. The frustration of not being able to make a difference, the difference I should make. It’s not a feeling that I experience often anymore. I used to. A lot. I had so many thoughts about what I should be doing, how I should be doing it, how fast it sho...
02. Slowing down to the speed of life
November 19, 2022 01:00 - 6 minutes - 14.6 MBFirst published on my blog on August 19, 2020. Read the post here → I turn off Spotify. The pipes leading to the heaters gargle a bit, and a car drives by on the residential road outside. And there’s another one, farther away, on one of the larger streets a block or two away. My 16-year old son Benjamin semi-shouts Hey, hey upstairs, ensconced in his room, involved in a Valorant online-tournament with some friends, online-friends. Car. Another car. And this ringing noise, slightly whini...

81. Tankespjärn in community | with Luke, Mandell and Kate
November 08, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 289 MB“The main aspect is always ‘Oh, these are people I would like to spend 10, 20 hours with!’ And I think that needs to be there because of the way the setup is.” ~ Helena It has to be. Otherwise I’d never make it to the end of season three, which is where we’re at right now. Spending this long with every one of my partners in crime, if I didn’t like them, if the conversations didn’t flow, if they weren’t interesting and curious, this format would bomb. It just wouldn’t work. Luckily. It d...
80. Responding to the dance of someone else | with Bella, Özlem & Caspian
November 01, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 98.2 MBSeason three is approaching the end, and we are concluding with two group-conversations (as we’ve never managed to get a date that works for all the participants of one season). Here you will meet me, Bella and Özlem, as well as Caspian, my friend and pod-producer, who will be facilitating the episode, to make sure we stay somewhat on topic. Which might seem odd… What, a topic? And there is a topic to this episode (and the next), or at least there’s something that acts as an anchor, as I do...
79. I am the container | with Bella
October 25, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 95.6 MBFifth and final conversation of the third season. Wrapping it up by having two group conversations (trying to get seven people to settle on one date with commitments and other engagements as well as time zones to juggle is a bit like trying to herd cat’s. Not the easiest. Hence: two conversations!), but still… a door closes. And another opens? Or ‘!’? (Yes. Another opens!) A Bella-and-me-conversation wouldn’t be a Bella-and-me-conversation unless discernment was part of it. True for thi...
78. Light and dark, always dancing | with Özlem Tan
October 18, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 78.9 MBIn a conversation around inner light as well as darkness, it’s so easy to substitute light and dark for good/bad, or positive/negative. And I have. For the longest time. But I am reclaiming my darkness, waking my inner bitch up; wanting, needing, a bit less of the goodie-two-shoes facet of myself, and a bit more edge, more anger, more holy wrath. ‘Nobody is all good. Nobody is all bad. We are a mix. The yin and the yang is present in all of us. So how do I use that [mix of lightness and dar...
77. Conversations that help me be more me | with Luke Aymon
October 11, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 115 MBConnecting dots with Luke in this our fifth conversation (not to worry, Özlem number five will be published, once it’s recorded…). Dots coming from all places. A recent work assignment. Therapy sessions with Dominic. The book circle I’m running on Women Who Run With the Wolves. Episode 75 where me and Kate spoke about where getting a slight buzz helps us get out of our heads… And those were just my dots. Luke had his too. A conversation with his sister. The tarot reading he spoke about in e...
76. How is your heart today? | with Mandell
October 04, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 111 MBThe bittersweetness of closing season three with the fifth conversation with each and every one of my meandering conversation-partners is matched by the seasonal shift that’s upon me – fall is coming. There’s still vegetables and fruit to harvest, the warmth from sunshine makes me toss my jacket aside, and trees are only just starting to change color and let go of their leaves… All of which is part of the similarity, it’s in the letting go. That just so happens to be part of one of my favor...
Dance like there’s no one watching | with Kate Inglis
September 27, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 127 MBHard to believe that me and Kate have had our fifth and final conversation [well. For this season of the pod, not forever. We will continue to have conversations, I guarantee it. But perhaps not as often. Perhaps not as long. And not recorded for a pod.]. And what a conversation we had! “I don't want to be stone cold sober for the rest of my life, so I'm on a bit of an exploration, like Huey Lewis and the News, to find my new drug.” ~ Kate We ventured into territory neither of us had on ou...
75. Dance like there’s no one watching | with Kate Inglis
September 27, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 127 MBHard to believe that me and Kate have had our fifth and final conversation [well. For this season of the pod, not forever. We will continue to have conversations, I guarantee it. But perhaps not as often. Perhaps not as long. And not recorded for a pod.].

74. A plethora of inner voices | with Bella
September 20, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBI enjoy wise words, collect quotes or longer paragraphs from books I read, videos I watch (I’ve been tweeting single sentence words of wisdom from whatever I am currently watching. During the summer it was Downton Abbey, right now it’s Game of Thrones…), podcasts I listen to etc. I’ve got little words of wisdom saved in many places (…and you don’t need to tell me I should stick to one single system. I don’t. So there.), my kernel journal, my mind, in Evernote, in a spreadsheet with a tab/boo...
73. It's very easy to should/would/could yourself | with Luke Aymon
September 13, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 99.4 MBI enjoy having meandering conversations. Period. Give me a soul willing and eager to partake in such an explorative undertaking and I am happy. But there’s something special in having this type of conversation with someone much younger than me, and Luke is just that. “I think everything can be a portal, a prompt, a door that might open, a seed. There's a signal in everything. Question is, do I want to pick up on it? Do I have the energy to pick up on it? Do I feel any ‘No, that signal do...
72. Dancing, a metaphor for life | with Özlem Tan
September 06, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBDo you dance? I asked Özlem, only to have him ask how I defined dance. I didn’t give him an answer, because for me, dancing is so much more than ‘dancing’… (ok, bear with me for just a while longer:) “I had a coach who used to say ‘Dance with whatever comes knocking on the door’. Ever since, I've been using dance as a metaphor, as an inspiration, as an intention. How do I want to show up in life? Well, dancing! There is the rhythm, there is the going with the flow of things. There is the f...
71. The short and long arcs of time | with Mandell
August 30, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 113 MBIt fascinates me how me and Mandell cannot speak without dropping at least a douzen book titles/recommendations or so. This episode is not different in that regards, but before we went all booking, I shared a story of the adventures of Pop the cat, who was definitely cheating on me during the summer, while on vacation in Vejbystrand where my mom lives. (Can a cat cheat on his owner? Well. Yeah. Listen and find out how!) The type of pets that are common to an area, and how those pets are te...
70. Questions on curating life | with Kate Inglis
August 23, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 122 MBA failure of curiosity is what it is, Kate said towards the end of our fourth conversation… and what she’s not pointing to is us, as I am sure there’s never been a Tankespjärn-episode with as many questions, ever. Questions on curating life: “I curate my life. It's on me to make. What do I want my life to be? How do I want it to be, where do I want it to be, and with whom do I want it to be? How can I set it up in such a way? Do I dare dream? And what are those dreams? Am I making inroads...
69. Yes lives in the land of no | with Bella
August 16, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 79.9 MBPicking up on the thread from our last conversation, Bella asks me about the quotation I’d just handed in back then… which has us go down an interesting route of how to face rejection. I am better at facing professional rejections, like getting a No on a quotation, or, for that matter, not really getting any response at all. Personally, I would likely have a harder time, and yet… all of it is based on context. (Again. Context is queen, for sure!) “Yes lives in the land of no, which has me c...
68. Who do I want to be in this world? | with Luke Aymon
August 09, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 95.4 MB“I am responsible for me and my actions. You are responsible for you and your actions.” ~ Helena What would it be like if there was more of this in the world? No more You make me [fill in the blank]… (Or less of it, at least.) More I get [fill in the blank] when… instead. Where [fill in the blank] might be angry, happy, sad, upset, elated, excited, triggered. The latter provides a space for my beloved mellanrum, i.e. Swedish for ‘the space in between’. The room to pause, sense into, ac...
67. Find what makes you tick | with Özlem Tan
August 02, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBIn our third conversation Özlem helped me see something about myself that I’ve never noticed before. I’ve always thought the common thread to everything I’ve done in life, at least from a professional standpoint, has been about change and improvement. I’ve called myself an Agent of Change for many years by now because of that belief. But Özlem made me see that it’s not the change/improvement itself that’s the attraction for me, that’s not the pull. It’s the people. The connections. The huma...
66. A modern band of brothers | with Mandell
July 26, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 113 MBMandell has some serious friendships going on, let me tell you. His story blasted my preconceived notions right out of the water, and I absolutely love it when that happens! You see… I have it in my mind that men are ‘worse at friendships’ than women. Laying down flat on my back, showing you my exposed neck, coming clean as a person with prejudices… I KNOW RIGHT?! What a horrible person I am. Or? Maybe just honest. (At least I know this about myself.) Anyway, what blew me out of the wa...
65. Questions matter | with Kate Inglis
July 19, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 130 MBSeason three, round three of meandering conversations means we’re at the midway point, and somehow it always catches me by surprise. As always, me and Kate meander quite significantly, and if you’ve been counting Kate-rants, there’s a couple in this episode too. Her rants don’t really feel like rants to me though, they are more musings that are allowed to meander and take form. Like her sharing the story of celebrating Canada Day on July 1st, prompting her to the following question: ‘What ...
64. Discernment is flexible and judgment is rigid | with Bella
July 12, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 81.8 MBBella has a knack of asking poignant questions that open a wide expanse in front of me, or us, and off we go. Down deep, continuing on the theme from our last conversation. During this our second (recorded) conversation it became clear to me how I’ve come to a place where it’s much easier for me to stand my ground, feel centered and secure, in my skills, my experience, my abilities, in professional settings, and how on a personal level, I’m experiencing something quite different. ‘I know h...
63. What is your pain trying to tell you? | with Luke Aymon
July 07, 2022 19:29 - 1 hour - 100 MBJust before me and Luke had our second conversation (this one!) I listened to him in (a podcast-) conversation with Eyal Shay on pain, which made me curious. ‘Pain is generally a signal that contains information worth listening to, worth parsing and figuring out ‘Well, what is it trying to tell me?’ Because if you figure that out, it's more likely that you're not going to have it again.’ ~Luke My experiences with pain are luckily not even close to what Luke’s gone through (lucky for me, th...
62. Parenting: the reactions of the parent | with Özlem Tan
June 28, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 246 MBWithout rules and guidelines, would anarchy ensue? Isn’t that what we (me, you, others?!) believe? Or are taught to believe? That anarchy is the natural outcome if there aren’t any rules. I don’t think it necessarily would be. Perhaps because I don’t think we, humans, function without rules. That is, even if there weren’t any rules, or they were removed, new ones would evolve. Because we are group animals, belonging together, rules will develop from the interactions of all involved. “…w...
61. Each person has had their own journey here | with Mandell
June 21, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBMandell spent a week in Senegal before we met up for our second conversation, and I was following his adventures on Instagram. When I came across a video of him walking just a few meters behind two big lions, I almost choked! I mean, those are some seriously respect-inducing animals, for sure! So of course, I ask Mandell about this, eager to find out what it felt like (hearing him speak of it I am reminded of when I was a young child wandering off from mom or dad, repeatedly looking back o...
60. My precious, my trauma, my pain | with Kate Ingles
June 14, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 123 MBWhen me and Kate hook up for our second conversation of five, she’s just come home after a week off the grid in a tiny cabin on Windhorse Farm. There she practiced self-care, but don’t tell her I said that as she positively hates that word/concept… both of which she professes to in this conversation. “It was […] wonderful just to spend time with myself. We don't often think of ourselves as the friends that we are to ourselves.” ~ Kate Inglis Besides the self-care-thing she was there for a ...

59. I don’t want to do the good thing. I want to do the real thing. | with Bella
June 07, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBBella was a calming presence in an online meet-up I attended last fall, having me reach out afterwards, inviting her to a one-on-one conversation. Lucky for me, she accepted, and we’ve had a few since then. Wise. Calm. With an energy that makes me feel good when I am around it. So I am thrilled to have her as my fifth conversation partner for season three, already looking forward to our upcoming four conversations. With Bella, perhaps because of how we met, perhaps because of the vibes she ...
58. We try to fix everything. Maybe there is no fixing to be done? | with Luke Aymon
May 31, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBLast season Twitter gifted me Reddy. This season’s Twitter gift is Luke Aymon, whom I connected with thanks to Reddy, who plays a lot with Eyal Shay (who’s podcast I guested), who in turn speaks a lot with Luke… and somewhere along those lines, mine and Luke’s paths crossed and we struck up a conversation. My hunch was that here’s a person whom I will enjoy being in conversation with, and my hunch proved correct! Our two-hour meander took us into and through topics such as baby-sitting (hav...
57. Role models in our own relations | with Özlem Tan
May 24, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 114 MBFirst time I set eyes on Özlem Tan was during a leadership-training we both attended a few years back. I liked how he showed up there, and ever since, we’ve kept in touch, having interesting conversations which made me invite him to the third season of the podcast. - Where are you from? - I'm from Helsingborg. - No, no, no, I mean like from the beginning? - Well, yeah, I was born in a little village called Billesholm. - That's not what I mean. - Yeah, I understand you, you mean where m...
56. Books are wisdom just laying about in your house | with Mandell Conway
