The Hippie Life Brand: Recent Episodes
chriswosika
We are often limiting ourselves, out of fear or lack of self esteem. We let go of our dreams and projects, thinking we’re not go enough or don’t have what it takes. We all have what it takes, if we love ourselves and stand for who we are. Preparation and information can help ease your scared monkey mind. Get some insights and tips from the relentless Hippie Life Brand podcast.
We can make the difference in someone else’s day or life, we can inspire greatness, kindness and happiness, even if it’s for a moment, an hour or a day. Remember today and that moment someone changed your mood, your day? How did you feel? You can do this too, inspiring positivity and soften the day for someone else. Remember karma, and be rewarded for your good actions, and words (even thoughts)…
While this should be a happy session, family,, vacation, dreams come true, decompress, peaceful time, instead it’s CHAYoS, WAR, DESOLATION, FRUSTRATION. Thousands of planned cancelled, tourists stranded, Covid lurking to expand, employees gruntled and manager MIA. The caption for this catastrophe could be Ma’m, you’ve been screwed. Long and hard. Shane in all leaders, national and Europeans, government offices and security officiers. This is on you !
Have we over complicated our lives? Are we killing our spontaneity and joy by having to define our action and reason our activities. We need a time out of this nonsense and regain our mindfulness and joy in life and love.
It’s actually ok to be purpose free, to flow with the day, to change your mind and have new dreams and hope. Everything is not about your mission or to set objectives, realistic or not. We are all different and our differences don’t need to be labeled with new diversity “boxes”. Give yourself a break from the pressure of having to define yourself with concepts and words. No need to justify the way you think or see the world. Be a free spirit! This is your life, own it, live it fully.
Can we blame others for our unfulfilled lives, our forever search for love and attention? How can we break the chain of bad relationships and stop wasting our time? Could we be the key?
We make somehow ourselves- and others - more miserable with our fear of the unknown or our inability to deal with new situation. Stop the drama by moving on when others don’t meet your criteria. Decide if it’s worth making the human effort to get to know a different person or not. It could change your present and future life.
Memories are our only valuables, good or bad, they make your life worth living - or not - but they live a trace in the hearts and souls of those who loved you. Make your memories now, don’t wait.?
War, virus, snow, international crisis and Mother Nature still blessing us with spring beauty. Happy Ramadan for those who celebrate this and happy Easter 🐰 (please go vegan) to the world. Be human kind if you can. Hug a 🌲. Count your blessings.
It’s spring, celebrations are on the way … and war is taking over in Ukraine 🇺🇦 I’m asking you to keep your eyes open and ask yourself the right questions. You can shape your world, don’t wait for the governments to do so, too slow, too many political hindering…. #hfbd
Some make headline news some hardly know how to write their name but they hall have a mission !
We’re waiting got the young and experienced leaders ready to play new rules and trying try path.
I stay strong with your determination and courage, may you know how much Ukrainian strength is in all of us. Your fight against supremacy and tyranny is a worldwide fight that they are trying to silence. Let you tears rolls and your screams be heard- your anger is ours ! Stay safe and be loud as you can so you cannot be forgotten !
We really have 2 choices in life, live or die, the how depends on you. When you get closer to human beings whose life is a surgical battle along the abyss, your beliefs don’t matter, or only to you. Accept that your life is yours only and how you want to live it or end it is also your ultimate choice. Here come the importance of balance, love vs hate, beauty vs blindness, think it through, deeply, there is no turning back. And you are living or dying because or for you, don’t blame it on nobody else’s life. If you need a good sound, and think of it, Zucchero always does it for me, for now. You’re not alone, we have been there, some still are. Reach out 🙏🏻 I Tempi Cambieranno https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=UKTB9gdZnoE
Sorry for the previous voice issue, I’m still a bit coughing… still not Covid. I read 400000 USA young adult below 50yrs die of overdose, in Europe we talk about 30’000 people, lots of grievances. But an Irish guy made a research to say the part of the brain that can be sad, happy, hangry is a wonderful technical part. So why are doctors silencing us with cheap deadly pills? Easier to control? There are things to do on your own, alternative living and brea, self care and mindfulness. Don’t you want to choose your lifestyle and the chemical you eat ?time to create your own life, hope this comes to us and shows us the way. We can lead the way of this change of life tans mind revolution.
It really takes one call to put you on the street in your minimal attire for « your own good »… and then straight to the loonies home. Truth is nobody want to take care of an issue, so it’s a write off theory. Far from sight, …. Well my insight from being a homeless hippy in a loonies home really sucks and you will find some odd creatures… and they wear a blouse. Doctors gave me pain meds, other doctors call me a junkie that can’t handle herself. But I’m just taking what you’re asking me to do. I’m actually a good girl for a hippie. The only comment was « you jacket is backwards… to which I replied « does it matters?? Watch out people, you may be parked outside against your free will soon, and it’s really cold now….
Around the world we celebrate remembrance of horrific past events, hoping it won’t happen again. We need more respect in our life, in the way we consider ourselves, others and the world it we want to make it a better day. #hfabd Start with YOU, you can inspire change and be the change, Hope for a better Day, a human revolution in the way we want to live our lives.
Episode 29 - Adapt or collapse. Find your real crowd, values are shifting , make sure you are on the right path. Scammers, cheaters, pretenders, losers, scary souls are surrounding you. Making real decisions is a tough job. Your life depends on. Your mental health depends on it. Why do you hesitate? What is holding you back? Do you rather stay in a pack of unknown souls? Your time is now. Open your eyes and listen carefully with your heart.
Time for more mindfulness, stay aware of your feelings, we have all been there, you’re not alone, don’t forget to breathe, in and out, open the windows, look at the sky, there is a revolution coming. Remember to be kind, to yourself and to others.
New year, new resolutions, hopes and dreams. Let's ignore what we actually need and run after what we want, whether it suits us or not. What if you need something more than that, something more fulfilling than a new car, new title, new office, new everything?
Throwing out the old and "in" with the new stuff won't do the trick... a little bit of introspection and honest objectives setting will go a long way.
You can stop the frustration and resentment of not getting what you think you want, you dreams are bigger than this. Start listening to yourself.
You have the power to block the emotions the world is directing towards you, you decide how much everything will affect you.
Wishing you a Happy new YOU, may you receive what you need. Stay safe and be blessed.
Everyone tells you what to do, what to feel, how to live and where to head next. I'm just saying, listen to yourself, give yourself a rest, you are tired, we are all, now is a good time to slow down your mind, make peace with yourself. Reconnect with your inner child, listen to your inner voices. All answers can be found there.
Go on fly-mode. Dare to disconnect yourself from the crowd and grow stronger than before. Be at peace, happiness is an inside out job, and no one but you can give you happy moments.
Wishing you all happy holiday, or just peaceful moments, and remember, when it gets too tough, times are gonna change.
Do you distinguish between pain and emotions? Real physical pain and a state of panic and emotional turmoil, all the same? Not really, both can be helped, and you can regain control of your life.
Don't just grab these painkillers yet, or that glass, look for a distraction, take your mind off the pain, breathe, move, dance, go out, listen to music, cry or scream, just don't stay frozen in this non-living state.
Make a journal of how the pain infiltrates your brain, write down your strategies and what works or not.
The situation worldwide is causing so much anxiety and panic in everyone, some are better equipped to deal with it, others already have too much on their plates already. But we can all try to resist to just put a patch (medical or not) on the pain.
By doing this there is a good chance you can cut your dependence to medication or alcohol or any other abuse substance in half. And you may keep your friends a bit longer and more of them. When you are in your mental fog of alleviating pain medication you usually call and reach out to friends, any of them, unconsciously and your messages will make little to no sense. The return to reality may live you feel kind of ashamed, or guilty. Did I really write this? hmm.... time to look for a better working system.
You can do this, take a good look at the moment when the pain arrives, analyze it and decide if it emotionally induced, what triggered it and what it would take to put it to stop.
Give it a try. Regain your freedom, at least your freedom of choice on how to deal with your emotions. Remember to take care of yourself, physically and mentally.
Instead of asking yourself "why me", and looking for an excuse or an alibi, start by forgiving yourself for loving, living, caring and letting people into your life and into your heart.
Life throws enough stones at you and you cannot blame everything on yourself. Accepting and loving yourself will set you free from caring guilt, shame and anger into the next chapters of your life. Transform all these negative feelings into a positive stream of energy to heal yourself.
We are lucky to be alive, we can have happy moments and make other people around us a bit more happier. Smile to yourself, you've made it so far, you're not alone, you're strong and you're awesome.
Better days will come. Have faith.
Forgiving yourself for your mistakes and miseries is your only way out!
From scammers, fakers, liars, cheaters, we struggle through this jungle, at war every day, testing our faith and our strength. Crying when we need to, holding on, but when the tears run dry we stand up straight and we will fight, with every inch of our beautiful souls and sweet hearts. Don't be fooled, we are getting better at this, and there is an army of us. Ladies, watch for others, as the pack of wolves are hungry. Light fires and don't get lost in the darkness. Be strong and have faith, it's better to expose the truth, let no stone unturned. Enough with the subtilty. We will shine.
While India celebrated Diwali recently, women are being targeted by cowards and criminals on the net, and even though the information is relayed to all companies and corporations involved, there is another coward silence. You can no longer express any positive feeling or comments on the net without risking to be embarked on a dark journey and being scammed, exposed and sold out to more criminals. Other than making you sick to your stomach, pictures and information of women, teenagers and kids are being used by these criminals. Corporations are ignoring the warnings, social media are shutting down all comments and reports, blankly ignoring the impersonating reports. The music industry shuts down, your messages and mails are being ignored. How far up the chain must one go to be heard? Enough with this BS!
Less attention span per individual as years go by, a propensity to do everything fast, from food to sex, from living to dying. Seems human beings enjoy drifting through their lives at the expense of a quality life, with real contacts, real emotion, and the chance to meet real love. Is it worth it? Don't you want to take back the control to your brain and your life? Make your destiny the way you've envision it, own it. Be accountable for your happiness and the ups-and-downs of life, they are the spices of life, just as love has different perfumes, one for each of you.
Imposter's syndrome, fakers, liars and scammers, it's a jungle out there. Try to be yourself in a world that encourage you to be someone else, it is MI. But we can be better at spotting them. There are ways, tools, groups and stories to be told and shared, so that no more people are victimized, loose their savings, their reputation, their dignity and, for many, their lives. They can be creative, but we are relentless at exposing them. And let's not forget about karma.
Human kindness matters more than you think, for you and those at the receiving end. Practice kindness and see the results. Be the change you want to see in this brutal world.
Don't need approval to run your life or initiate new things? Sexy and confident? Know your worth ? Then you could be labeled badass. Or "bossy". Fight the labelling, you are aware of your worth, in private or at work. Raise your voice, trust your instincts, own your life, because it is your life. Enough with the "smile, look good and be silent". We are better than this and we can do this. Show them all!
Look around you, inside you, and see who you trust, why and with what. Who was the last person who asked you to trust them. Or do you trust anyone blindly. Is is a one way street? Do you get something in return? Can you trust strangers, what do they need to prove or show? Introspection topic... if you are strong enough, you are less likely to give your trust away to just anyone. Or did life - and experiences - ruin the trust concept for you?
We are all swimming in an ocean of toxic items, we are surrounded by toxic people, may be we are ourselves toxic for others and it is exhausting, if not lethal. We can spot toxicity but sometimes we just let it go. But we are wasting our emotional capital and energies, we are putting our lives in danger by giving the keys to our lives to the wrong people, or accepting to work with the wrong energies and companies. Do you want to improve your life? Then get rid of toxic as you get rid of your home trash. Put yourself in the center of your priorities. You deserve it!
We all carry chains, the ones we choose, the ones someone put on you, mentally or physically. They are heavy on our heart and souls. They are stopping us from becoming who we are supposed to be, who we can be or become. You can decide to break free. Free from chains and pain. We don't have to be martyrs or victims, we are stronger than this and we definitely deserve much more than this! Have faith in you and choose to own your life and your future. Drop the chains and give them back. Just be yourself.
Most of us want to change something in ourselves, believing this would really be the change maker in our lives. What if we lost 100 pounds, and went from the heavier side of the scale to the really lighter side? What is changing and what do we really loose, or gain?
Freedom ranks high on people's priority. So it seems. But if you ask what is included in freedom, depending on the person you'll have all kinds of responses. Overall do we really need what we are ready to fight for, or if freedom depends on your location, gender, social status or personal history? Are we all ready to have total freedom for ourselves? Could we handle this? Going back to our core values can help us define our very personal definition of freedom and help us set priorities in our daily challenges.
How long until you decide this relationship isn't working out, that maybe you'll be better off on your own? Giving up on hopes, dreams, phantasies and life projects is a hurting process. Do you decide to stay, because you'd rather not be alone, because it seems easier, day in day out. When do you feed your need for a real love and relationship? One that will satisfy you, in every (or most aspect), one where you'll be able to bloom and evolve peacefully. How much time will you waste on that decision? The longer you'll stay in this limbo, the longer it will take you to heal. Being heartbroken, at any age, will hurt. But so will the common misery.
Ageism, growing older, getting older, the labelling doesn't stop. Big topic, at all levels. We want diversity, we praise differences, but we are at war, economically and socially. We feel the pressure to "behave" according to our age. I will fight you to the ground for this! I will wear what I feel like, listen to any music that makes me feel good, walk at the speed that pleases me, buy the car (I can afford...) but tell me the brand or the color. My life is the sum of my experiences, good or bad, and I want to collect and experience many more. I'm alive, and free, and for now, pain doesn't rule my life, so accept my difference, or go your way. Let's praise our imperfections, we are unique, to the end.
There are relationships we have, the ones we wish we had and the ones we really screw up. Wrong timing, wrong person, unhealed hearts and souls. Everything can go wrong, we sometimes have too much expectations, we look for our white shining knight, our savior, but he/she is just a human. If we are lucky they will complete us and we will experience some real bliss. Let's not put any expectations there, just ground rules so we don't end up to hurt. The vibration the right person can set out is magic, but truly our body and our mind need to be ready. Love will find you, be patient, keep an open mind, it can be very different from what you think you need.
There is a lot about empowering women, but it is largely overused, by everyone. And it misleads women, and men. I believe there is more than complaining about current and past negative experiences. They made you who you are but there now are actions to be taken, solutions to be found. For you and the next generation of young women, confronted to private and professional negative, downgrading, humiliating or even scaring experiences. Everyone can be an actor of positive change, because women need more than positive intentions or venting opportunities.
From childhood to adulthood, we are always placing our faith, hopes and dreams into someone else's hand. We try to believe they will do the right thing, that they are the right people. From our parents (were they normal?), to our leaders, politicians, spirituals leaders, we need to make sure they are who they say they are, that our lives matters as much as their individuals goals and plans. We all need to be accountable, for our children, for the next generation, if we want to inspire them to greatness.
Everyday people walk to you and tell you "you have to", when actually you don't. Take a step back on what is really necessary and how we can improve the way going through life. We can all make our own decisions on what we "have to", if we want to. This should free us some quality time and improve the quality of our lives.
Hitting 50, facing gravity and carrying your life bags, showing your scars, are you still loveable as a woman? With limited choices of places and possibilities to meet a date, a difficult world environment, increasing mental health issues amongst potential partners, how far are you willing to go? Do you allow yourself to hope, dream and look for the (next) right one, the one that will accept you as you are, in whichever state you're in? Women are still not ready to give up on loving someone and it is a good thing.
Most of us love fragrances and smells, well the one we choose, the ones who "speak" to us. But do we actually choose our fragrances or do they choose us? What do they say about us? They hold the key to most of our memories and emotions. What if we collected all our life fragrances to build our memory? Let's go fragrance hunting to make sure we have a wide variety of memories, so we can travel back and remember what we did, who we knew, who we loved and who we were.
In our modern world, we fly to mars, we have machines taking over our homes and programs decide our love life, but the safety and lives of women is a secondary issue for many countries and governments. Most of us choose not to hear their screams, not to see their bruises, we are recovering from a pandemic, so first thing first... But femicides are increasing, all around the world. 180 women are dying every day, globally. Should you care? Well I cannot just read the numbers when they hit the headline news. Some solutions have been created by some countries, local initiatives have been launched. But I dream of a bigger, faster global solution. We need to do something, for the current generations and all the future ones. It's as much a women issues as a global mental health issue. By definition it is becoming an economic issue, or will soon be. And it is not a rich or poor country issue.

What did your mother tell you about love? Loving someone, being loved, asking for love, getting respect from a loved one, it seems we really are left on our own on how to deal with this. Learning to say no to the wrong person, or yes to the right one at the right time. Should and could we do better when talking to our daughters (and sons) about love? Do we do our job as a parent? As someone who cares? Are we keeping them safe? Bad experiences are part of our growing up scheme but we can do damage control if we get more involved in the love aspect of our next generation, communicating about respect, intimacy, understanding, patience, acceptance and humanity.
As women grow older, and more beautiful of course, there is sadly a movement to treat them as commodities. Sometimes they themselves have let this happen, they have forgotten about themselves, all invested in their care takers' role. But their lives are long, they should claim their existence back, finding ways to ensure a better quality life, self-care, personal and professional value. There are ways to beat the odds and remain strong, authentic, charismatic and caring individual, who knows her value and declares her independence, at any age. Women are chameleons, and they can and will always surprise you.
Can you actually be yourself in this world, in these times, as a woman with an opinion, a voice, a choice and ideas? Or do you need to lay low and hope to become a crowd to be heard? Knowing yourself, building your confidence and start saying NO when needed, can be your key to improving your life. Reduce your stress, anxiety and frustration, every time you are being silenced and you just give up your voice, you are hurting your health and your soul. I believe you have a chance to change this, improve your situation, be it at home, at work, outside your comfort zone. Stop caring what people think about you or what they say. You can not please them all.
A short intro to this new and different podcast, with insights on women’s everyday topics and business challenges, a disruptive and different approach and tone.
