Happy Messy Mind

36 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -

The “Happy Messy Mind” podcast is meant to empower and resonate with anyone who has ever dealt with the everyday struggles of a messy mind. I want this podcast to be a place anyone can go to be heard, understood and uplifted. A place of hope, motivation and safety. A place where we can discuss shameful, tabu and uncomfortable topics. Ultimately I wish that we can all share our messy life stories, laugh and cry together and find ways to be okay with what we go through, accept our messes and find happiness in who we are.

#24: Life Is a Rollercoaster (but Your Happiness Doesn't Have to Be)

February 28, 2022 05:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MB

It's a total cliché, but for a reason, right? Even though life takes you through ups and downs, throws you some curveballs or just generally sucks - you can still maintain your happiness, calmness and hopefulness.  How? In this episode I take you through some of my personal experiences, thoughts and lessons. Life is not about avoiding the downs (that's just lot possible or realistic), instead it's about going through your downs with grace, patience and kindness towards yourself (and life). ...

#23: BEING AN INTROVERT (& Proud Of It)

February 21, 2022 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

I used to think being an introvert was something to be ashamed of. I thought that being introverted and everything that came with it equalled being weak and insecure. Oh boy, was I wrong!  Since learning about what being an introvert really means - I have never felt more powerful and more confident saying it out loud. I have honestly never felt more in tune with myself - I feel proud, strong and safe in knowing why I am the way I am and how to prioritise my time and energy for a balanced li...

#22: HOW TO NOT FUCK UP A NEW RELATIONSHIP (Classic Messy Mind)

February 14, 2022 05:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MB

Well guys, the title says it all. As messy minds, we have a tendency to overthink and overanalyse to the point of tripping our own feet. It's not easy to navigate waves of thoughts in a new relationship, but in this episode I share some points on how to reflect on our own behaviours and how to grow a new relation in a healthy direction. I am in NO way a relationship expert (I think that's clear from my other dating episodes hehe), but these are things I've learned along the way and ways I'm...

#21: GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR 2022 (The Year Of Happy & Adventure)

January 31, 2022 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB

Welcome to 2022 with “Happy Messy Mind”! I wanted to kick of this new year with an episode all about starting a new year, resolutions and my own personal goals. I am someone who doesn’t believe in New Years resolutions, but I AM someone who absolutely sees the value in setting goals and priorities for yourself to work for and keep you motivated. I believe that without direction or purpose, you’ll wander around lost and never really get anywhere. So in this episode I share my views on beli...

#16: SCARED OF BEING VULNERABLE (Fears, Insecurities & Worries)

November 22, 2021 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

I thought that I needed to wait until I was past my insecurities to share my journey. I thought that I should only share if people’s words couldn’t hurt me anymore. But my whole message is to fight our way through the fear, that we’re capable of much more than we ever imagine or believe about ourselves.  I am also realising that the most powerful way of inspiring others is to be vulnerable. So, here we are, I’m fucking terrified, but this is what I need to do. In this episode I’m sharing s...

Do you ever have certain things that you really want to do or experience, but you don't have anyone to do it with?

March 08, 2021 07:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MB

This episode is about loneliness, believing in love, not giving up on finding your “person”, how to be okay alone, how not to settle, realising your worth, figuring out what you want and what’s good for you. True love is such a beautiful concept, but hard to come by (at least in my experience). What does “true love mean”? How do I find my person? How do I know if it’s true love? Is there something wrong with me if I’m alone? What if I never find true love? In this episode we dig deep into...

#1: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?

February 09, 2021 20:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MB

I wanted to start our adventure together, by sharing my own personal journey. I've been through a lot of pain, self growth, battled my messy mind and learned SO much to get where I am today. This is what the hell happened to me. I used to hate myself and my life. I used to think I was cursed to have a terrible life (why? well, you'll have to listen to find out).

February 09, 2021 20:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MB

I used to have no self esteem. I used to hate everything about myself, and could barely find even 1 thing to compliment myself. Now? I still have my insecurities, but I learned to see the beauty in the person I am, I learned to accept and love what I cannot change, and most importantly I got to know myself on every level and I became my own biggest fan. So I created this 7 step guide to self love, to share some of my experiences and best ways to start loving yourself and growing you self wo...
