A year and a half after moving to Copenhagen, this is my ultimate list of the pros & cons of living in the Danish capital. More takes on the job market, Danes, city design, and nature (or.. the lack of it). P.S. If you wanna hear more, you can also check out part one of this episode, a.k.a. "The Copenhagen Episode" (published back in February) x | Instagram | Substack | YouTube
To open the new season of Heartfelt (new cover & intro anyone?), I bring you a chat about all my recent favourites: things I've been reading, listening to (have you heard the name Rosalía?), and doing. For some cozy inspiration & ideas on how to spend the lo(oooo)ng and dark winter evenings. |
we are BACK with another guest conversation and I could not be more excited to bring to you my chat with Erifili Gounari: a published author, substack writer, business-owner, and a fellow podcaster, reader, and (as Erifili puts it) lover of life! in this episode, we chat about the challenges & rewards of running her own business, what it takes to write a book in 4 months, and how the ripple effect of staying authentic and true to yourself in the age of social media. a golden nugget of wisdom, and inspiration - I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did picking Erifili's brain x

on the complexity and layers of our personality: its context- and people-dependent iterations (a.k.a. new personality unlocked every day), how we evolve, who gets to see “the real us” (is there even such thing?), and is self-adjusting normal or a cause for concern (p.s. i still don’t know) | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

my brain has not been doing so well lately - I've been either feeling anxious or keeping myself distracted to avoid the gnawing sense that something is going wrong and I cannot do anything about it. but alas!! I'm never one to stray from honesty and talking about these stressful times makes them feel that much less heavy - and so, here's a little talk about where I've been mentally, what's making me feel anxious and how I've been trying to move through it. as always, sending you lots of love <3 | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧
