My name is Evie, and my goal is to encourage you to take a moment and just reflect for a minute. No matter what you want to do, finding peace and meaning in it will help you not only go further but stay sane during the process. I truly believe that our brain is a powerful tool and if we befriend it, we can achieve anything. But that takes time and understanding. On my podcast, I speak with people about self-awareness; life with purpose; and especially why we do what we do. New episodes are on Mondays. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts, and please rate and review the podcast if you enjoy it.
It is not that building habits is complicated, it is actually very simple. But it is hard because our brain will do a lot to prevent us from changing our behavior regardless of whether it is for the better or not. Here, I provide you with actionable advice on how to successfully build a new habit.

Let's reflect on why it is so hard to get out of a stuck situation and then brainstorm some ways to get unstuck.

Reflecting on the concept of routines and the benefit of having self-designed routines. When you control how you spend your own time, in a mindful way that has some direction, and some goal, then you master what your life looks like. Routines are not just about schedules and productivity. Routines are about having control over your time so that both your work and your leisure time are more efficient for you.

In this episode, I reflect on the 5 main benefits of living a life with purpose. The first question is - what does it mean to live with purpose? The answer surely includes three ingredients: mindfulness; self-awareness; and being useful to others. Life is never boring when you have your why’s. Life is not a chore when you have aligned your why’s with your values. You can’t be taken advantage of if what you do has meaning to you. Being busy is fun not draining. Living with purpose makes you less afraid of dying.

Both coaching and therapy aim to improve your quality of life and this episode first discusses the beginning of those two practices and their commonalities.

I shortly tell you who I am and what this podcast is going to be about. After a YouTube channel dedicated to being efficient; inspiring; educational and all those useful things, I needed a space to be vulnerable and just relax for a bit. The current Podcast is a reminder to me and you that even the most efficient person sometimes needs to be ... well just a person and nothing more. The main topics are self-awareness; life with purpose; understanding why we do what we do. The main goal of this podcast? - Hopefully, make you relate and feel less alone in whatever you are going through. And why not inspire you to reflect a bit as well? My main personal goal? - Live a life with purpose.
