The stories we grow up with can become invisible limits, guiding our choices long after we’ve outgrown them. This episode looks at how those early beliefs take hold and what happens when we finally begin to question them.

Change begins the moment we recognize that our past doesn’t decide our future. In this conversation, awareness turns into action as we explore how to release old patterns and create a life that feels truly our own.

Episode 345 - How to Be Less Miserable with Lybi Ma

It is easy to forget that peace of mind is not about chasing constant happiness, but about learning to live with the full range of our emotions. This episode explores how we can find an even keel in an unpredictable world and why acceptance may be one of the most overlooked skills for wellbeing.

Through honest reflection and grounded wisdom, the conversation invites a gentler view of being human. Sometimes, becoming less miserable is not about adding more joy, but releasing the subtle resistance to what already is.

LYBI MA

Lybi Ma is the executive editor of Psychology Today. In addition to producing the print magazine, she also guides its website and blog platform, which hosts more than nine hundred authors, academic researchers, and journalists. She edited a Psychology Today book series covering topics such as anger, food addiction, and bipolar disorder.

Episode 343 - The Functional Freeze Paradox with Petra Brunnbauer

There is a profound exhaustion that can seep into our lives that comes from trying to hold yourself together for far too long. If you have ever felt functional on the outside while wired, numb, or overwhelmed on the inside, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best possible way.

We explore the paradox of chronic stress that never truly resolves, and why so many of us feel stuck without understanding why. You will be guided through an experience that goes beyond insight alone and invites your body into a different relationship with stress, regulation, and presence.

PETRA BRUNNBAUER

Petra Brunnbauer is a mind-body professional, founder of The Jōrni wellbeing platform, host of the globally ranked Jōrni Podcast, and author of The Functional Freeze Formula. With a Master’s in Psychology and as a doctoral student in Mind Body Medicine, she is dedicated to advancing holistic and integrative approaches to wellbeing.

Episode 342 - What Success Doesn’t Heal with Dr. Agnieszka Piotrowska

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we explore what lingers when success on the outside doesn’t touch what feels unsettled within. It is possible to meet every expectation, build the life others admire, and still find ourselves searching for something more.

We spend time with the difference between achievement and meaning, and how easily the two become confused. The focus turns to creativity, connection, and the kind of joy that grows from within rather than from accomplishment alone.

DR. AGNIESZKA PIOTROWSKA

Dr. Agnieszka Piotrowska is a filmmaker, academic and certified life coach whose work unpacks the invisible stories people carry, particularly those who appear outwardly successful but wrestle with anxiety, isolation or a lingering sense of unfinished business. Through The Scholars’ Mentor, her platform for coaching and mentoring, she supports international PhD students and accomplished professionals in reclaiming their voice and direction through honest conversation, creative exploration and a clear-eyed view of what is really going on beneath the surface.

Her practice is grounded in academic rigour and lived experience, with a PhD in psychoanalysis, a career directing emotionally charged documentaries, and years spent mentoring creatives and researchers through complex transitions. Her background includes BBC training, award-winning films such as Married to the Eiffel Tower, and leadership roles across universities in Europe and Africa. Moving between roles as filmmaker, professor, coach and critic, she challenges the shallow optimism often found in coaching spaces and offers a path that makes room for discomfort, depth and growth on your own terms.

Episode 341 - Healing at the Speed of Resonance with Sam Kukathas

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we sit with the idea that healing can move at the speed of resonance. Rather than pushing through the mind or retelling the same stories, we begin to notice how the body speaks through sensation, tension, and subtle shifts of energy.

We explore how sound and frequency can meet us in places words cannot reach. From that meeting point, the possibility of safety and release begins to unfold, and with it the sense that change does not always follow the timelines we expect.

SAM KUKATHAS

Sam Kukathas is the creator of Neuro-Resonance Optimisation™, a transformational vocal resonance technology that clears deep energetic patterns and restores coherence at the nervous system level.

He works privately with some of the world’s most visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and change-makers—supporting them to collapse the time between vision and embodied results.

Sam is the founder of Resonance OS, a conscious technology platform designed to unlock human potential—restoring balance in just 9 minutes a day and activating peak performance in 15 minutes or less.

His energetic transmissions have been recognised by spiritual leaders like Reverend Michael B. Beckwith for their profound impact on human consciousness.
