Transcribe →How did I get here 2.0 - My story
Oct 7, 202400:13:28Tap to summarizeI know I'm a little late, but thanks to the incredible exhausting eclipse energy, I needed a little two week hiatus, because literally everything was working against me and showing me, that I need my leftover energy, to brace myself and make it through those last couple of week. I've asked on Instagram, which episode you want next and this one was a clear winner. So here is my story raw and unfiltered. It wasn't always pretty, quite far from it a lot of the times, but it was all needed and necessary to arrive here now. My biggest take away and something I'm really proud of, is that my biggest hardship and adversity eventually turned into my biggest blessings and if it taught me one thing : It's in moments when things seem so never-ending and hard, to simply trust, that it will all make sense one day. So I hope you find some comfort in my story and my words. If you need anything else, do not resist to reach out. You can always sign up for my mail list to be included in my very personal love bubble, where I send out love letters every week to remind you of things, that we easily forget. https://annazeesky.myflodesk.com/g09s91031g You can also follow my journey on instagram and make sure to give the podcast a follow and leaving a review or sharing it with a friend, is always appreciated, so my little voice can reach more people https://www.instagram.com/annazeesky/
Transcribe →Loving someone into loving you, is destroying you
Sep 20, 202400:04:10Tap to summarizeHow many more heartaches is it going to take for you, to start showing up for yourself, as a person, that loves you? I realized at some point, that I was spending way more time thinking about other, than I was thinking about myself - in the loving way, I mean. Here's my two cents, on why finally making yourself your own priority is one of the best things you can do in this lifetime.
Transcribe →Are you wasting your own time?
Sep 13, 202400:02:04Tap to summarizeNOW WITH VIDEO You know, those times, when you want change but you just cant quite get yourself to do the thing, you really know you need to do? Not feeling ready and being too afraid to take that leap? Listen to THIS and I hope it will help you shift your mindset. The funny thing about this, I battled with myself for so long, to record myself in front of the camera, as well, for this podcast - THIS is my I'M NOT READY - So i"m proud that I went and did it anyway. And I can tell you this much, the energy I spent talking myself out of it and finding excuses cost me a lot more, than actually doing it, in the end.

Transcribe →When the world is asking too much of you
Sep 6, 202400:02:47Tap to summarizeBeing alive today, feels overwhelming at the best of times. We are supposed to be thriving in the midst of chaos and mess, eat healthy, workout regularly, have a vibrant social and love life, make time for our families, thrive in our jobs and if that isn't enough, also stay hydrated and sane. I feel dizzy and need a nap just thinking about it. Listen to this, when everything feels a little too much and let me remind you, that you are a human being, not a human doing.

Let me share a little something about me, with you, that I've been meaning to share ever since I started this, but that I kept shying away from. The trauma that changed my life forever.

In this episode I'm admitting a few truths I have never dared to say out loud before, yet thought I'd ever share publicly. But here we are again. Tune in and listen for yourself, how grief became my biggest catalyst.

Transcribe →Ep.21 - AAA Anger, Ancestral Trauma & Asking Better Questions
Mar 6, 202200:30:15Tap to summarizeTodays episode, starts with another disclaimer and trigger warning. I'm sharing some of my poetry at the beginning, that I know, the last time I've done this, triggered a lot for some of you. So please be safe if you're listening to this while driving and reach out if you need anything after. I am also talking about death and losing a loved one to cancer. I'm tapping into anger, the release of it, how to acknowledge and start healing ancestral trauma. This week's homework is to ask better questions and to become better listeners, why I think its important, why its the only thing I regret in my life, that I wish I've done when I was younger and why we all need to invite more of this into our lives.
