In this episode I am joined by Marieke Verhoeven, a travel journalist for KLM’s Holland Herald, KLM’s in flight magazine, and a contributor to Elle Netherlands. We talk about her dream career, how she built and sustained a highly sought after path in travel and fashion, the people she has interviewed along the way, and how she has navigated narcolepsy, an autoimmune disease, while still staying committed to the work she loves. We also speak about how yoga has supported her energy, her focus, and her overall wellbeing.Since recording this episode in spring, Mareike and I have run our first collaborative retreat together in Morocco, and she has written a feature on her yoga teacher training journey, including her time with Middle Path Movement, in the latest edition of Elle Netherlands.
In this episode I speak with Marcos Jarvis, who healed from stage 4 cancer after being given only months to live. He chose to combine chemotherapy with a complete lifestyle shift, bringing in breathwork, the Wim Hof method, meditation, running, and a plant-based diet. His cancer was so advanced that surgery wasn’t possible, but his commitment to his family and his own healing carried him through. Six years on from his diagnosis and four years cancer free, Marcos shares the mindset, practices, and choices that helped him find his way back to life.
Continuing our mini-series on gracefully ageing, I had an eye-opening chat with Humble+ Collagen co-founder, Romain Quillot. We dug into the science behind collagen and why it’s such a key player in ageing well—not just for beauty, but for overall quality of life. From strength and mobility to maintaining independence as we get older, collagen turns out to be about so much more than skin deep.
A chat with Idahosa Ness about the transitioning process, for men and women, as they start to experience the first signs of ageing. Should we resist the signs of ageing? Or could we embrace the beauty that comes with the journey of getting older and (hopefully!) wiser.
A beautiful discussion with alchemist, Kharis, about the laws of the universe that suggest what comes up, must come down and the importance of gradual discipline in spiritual practices and avoiding shortcuts unless guided by a legitimate professional.

Sahassachan (nickname Jacky) speaks on the teachings of The Last Buddha and how everyone is welcome to practice his teachings, regardless of where they are from or their background/belief system. He explains that Buddhism is simple, it just needs to be consistent and that anyone has the opportunity of experiencing the magic of enlightenment as long as they focus on the breathe, practice loving kindness and Know Thy Self.

How do we find balance in an ever moving, ever evolving world, full of desires? How do we maintain inner peace when surrounded by objects that leave us longing for more? Do we just run? Do we hide from the objects? Do we isolate our selves? Search for paradise, or places lacking in civilisation? Or is it the patterns of the mind we have to remove? Is it our reaction to the objects that we have to restrain? Can we find ways to be free from restraints all together? Can we be surrounded by objects of desire, can we enjoy these objects, and simultaneously be free?
