VideoI Want to Remember These Years | Marie Quigley
Marie shares a profound shift towards savoring each moment, rather than rushing through life. She emphasizes the importance of full presence in her experiences, from celebrating a book launch to cherishing family milestones and even sitting with difficult relationships. This intentional slowing down allows her to truly 'remember these years' and embrace life as it unfolds.
VideoLet the Ideas Emerge | Marie Quigley
Marie Quigley shares her experience of struggling with writing until she allowed her authentic stories to emerge naturally.

VideoTaking Off the Armour | Marie Quigley
Marie Quigley shares her journey from feeling she had to wear an 'armour' of a fast-paced, all-knowing executive coach to discovering the profound fulfillment of bringing her authentic, loving self to her work. She reveals how societal expectations and her own self-doubt initially led her to adopt a persona that was draining, until she learned to shed it and embrace genuine connection, fostering inner significance over outer success for both herself and her clients.
VideoThe Moment Everything Changed | From Trauma to Healing
This conversation explores a deeply personal journey from past trauma and overwhelm to a more healed, self-aware, and purposeful present. Hanan shares how recent regional instability triggered childhood trauma, yet she was able to navigate it from a place of greater healing and rationality. The discussion highlights the importance of self-reflection, giving oneself grace, and continuously evolving towards a better version of oneself, rather than striving for unattainable perfection.
PodcastEp1 - Coffee Confessions: A Personal Tale of Perception and Growth
In this reflective first episode, Stefan Lindberg-Jones takes listeners on a personal journey sparked by an unusual cup of coffee. What begins as a puzzling experience at a favorite coffee shop becomes a profound exploration of self-trust, perception, and the courage to question the norm. Through a story of fluctuating coffee quality, we're invited to reflect on the broader implications of accepting life's 'off-tasting' moments without question. This episode challenges us to consider the power of our perceptions, the importance of trusting our gut feelings, and the transformative potential of questioning everyday realities. Pour yourself a comforting drink and join us for a deep dive into how a simple brew can unveil insights into accepting reality, challenging it, and growing from the experience.
