• Ep 41: It’s Your Turn: How to Empower Yourself Through Self-Investment
    Sep 17 2024

    I’m going to say something bold now, but with a lot of love.

    You have only scratched the surface of your own potential.

    And this is true for all of us.

    When we peel off the layers of stress, exhaustion, anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, controlling, self-doubt, and a whole lot of limiting beliefs and stories - MAGIC happens.

    I also see incredible shifts and results happening with my clients every day.

    They recognize things within themselves that they had no idea existed and find strength and confidence way beyond their imagination.

    And I know what you are capable of.

    So what would be possible for YOU, if you peeled off a bunch of things, stories, and layers that you didn’t need?

    Let’s talk about that, and why investing in yourself is one of the most empowering things you can do.

    I also share the amazing results of one of my clients who just completed her program.

  • 39: From Idea to Impact: Leading Innovation with Confidence & Creativity with Sofie Lindblom
    Aug 23 2024

    I’m so excited for this third season, kickstarting by talking to the innovation leader, entrepreneur, board professional, TED-X speaker, and creator Sofie Lindblom.

    Sofie and I first met at Spotify in 2013, where she quickly advanced to lead the global innovation team.

    Over the past decade, she has continued to lead innovation initiatives across many roles and organizations such as H&M, Kronans Apotek, and Electrolux.

    As an entrepreneur, she is the founder and former CEO of ideation360, a digital platform designed to streamline the collection and management of ideas.

    In 2020, she launched her second venture, SPCE, to create the world's first digital salesroom to digitize the customer relationship between organizations and reduce their carbon footprint. Currently, Sofie is the Chief Product Officer at SPCE, leading the product and development teams.

    She has been named one of the 100 most influential women in business, one of Sweden's 100 future female leaders, and one of the 50 most inspiring women in the European technology industry.

    In this conversation, we talk about the need for more women in tech, how to get into boards rooms, creativity, stress, and the negative correlation between innovation and back-to-back meetings.

    We also dive into doing things she is scared of and how she works with mindset and confidence on stage.

    On top of that, we explore the definition of success and the challenges of being a founder.

    And of course, my favourite topic, Sustainable High Performance.

    She’s a woman of many hats, to say the least, and this episode is packed.

    I hope you will enjoy listening!

  • 38: Mindful Summer: Increase Presence, Reconnect and Recharge
    Jun 25 2024

    Do you feel present in your life?

    Or do you experience that wherever you are and whatever you do, you are already on your way to the next activity, to-do, and constantly in your head?

    This might not seem like a biggie, but it actually is.

    Not only does it create unnecessary stress and tension, it also robs you of a lot of joy and pleasure in life.

    Good news is, that practicing being present is something that will benefit you so much, in your life, leadership, performance and relationships.

    And now is a great time to make changes and do some experimentation in this area.

    In this episode, we will dive into using summer vacation as an opportunity to practice being more present.

    Being present is not woo-woo, it’s a muscle that you can train, and being able to use that muscle, is a superpower that you might not be aware of.

  • 37: 5 Quick Ways to Reduce Stress & Take Back Control
    Jun 11 2024

    One of my coaches once said, the difference between panic and excitement is the exhalation.

    And it’s so true.

    A normal reaction to stress is to hold your breath, or breathe very shallow.

    But when you are excited, the exhalation usually comes a bit more easily.

    And that exhalation can be such a game changer.

    Short-term stress responses are a natural part of life, and something that you can’t avoid even if you would love to.

    But, long-term chronic stress is not something to take lightly as the consequences of that will affect you in a number of negative ways.

    I know this does not come as a surprise to you and I’m sure you are very aware of it.

    But what can you do to reduce the stress reactions?

    In this episode I will go through five ways that will support you to handle stress better and feel more in control.

  • 35: 6 Strategies to Reduce Self-Critical Thoughts and Become More Confident
    May 10 2024

    Are you your own harshest critic or your own best friend?

    Or maybe a combination of the two?

    Shifting from self-criticism to more self-compassion is one of the most important shifts you need to make to get to the next level, both in life and in your career.

    It’s true, constantly beating yourself up or down for everything you do, or don’t do, is not serving you or your purpose on this earth.

    I know you have so many talents and super powers, but still this feeling of not-enoughness kicks in.

    It’s very natural and normal but I know it holds you back from reaching your potential and going after your dreams.

    What can you do about it?

    This episode is all about that; giving you concrete tools on how to switch negative thoughts so you can feel better, perform better, become more present and focus your energy on the things that matter.

    I will also talk about the consequences of letting that inner critic stay loud.

  • 34: 15 Healthy Habits to Better Sleep and Higher Performance
    Apr 23 2024

    DOWNLOAD THE 15 HEALTHY HABITS GUIDE HERE

    Many of the clients I meet (and the people around me) are not getting enough sleep.

    Either they can’t sleep because of high stress-levels during the day, or because they work a lot in the evenings, they get disturbed by kids, or because of habits that might be contra-productive to a good night's sleep that they aren’t aware of.

    Is this you? Or someone you know?

    Whatever the reason is, there are a LOT of things that can be done to improve sleep, and the bonus effects of turning a bad sleeping situation around are huge.

    In this episode, I will go through 15 healthy habits that will improve the likelihood of getting a good night's sleep.

    We can’t always control all the things that might keep us up at night, but let’s focus on the things that we can control.

    Sleep is a topic that is very close to my heart, as there have been times in my life when I have felt that I was operating at 20-30% of my capacity, at best, because of sleep deprivation, so I really understand what it’s like, and have been hacking my own and my client’s sleep for many years now.

    As soon as I hear that someone is struggling with sleep, I always go through this checklist with them to quickly see where to focus the attention.

    Some of the habits or tricks are super low-hanging fruit, and some require a bit more effort, but all of them are great and will benefit you, your health, performance, and sleep.
