BULLSH*T-FREE LIVING

Sabrina and I talked about death. Even though it's inevitable, it still is a taboo-topic for many people in western society. Sabrina is about to change that. In her heartwarming way she describes death as a moment of transition and transformation. Many aspects of our lives are constantly dying to create space for new chapters, she says. Let it be in relationships, friendships, jobs or circumstances – Sabrina supports people with letting go, being present and embracing the opposite of death to the fullest: LIFE. ---------- Connect with Sabrina via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabrina-steiner/ Sabrina's website: https://www.sabrinasteiner.com

Mona supports her clients in getting to know themselves better. She makes the intangible tangible and she believes that you are awesome. In our delightful conversation we explore how to stoke the inner fire while becoming calm at the same time. We talk about magic pills and competition; Vipassana and vine; the Dalai Lama and neuroscience; the missing link in education; 10% brainpower and many more seemingly contradictory topics on the journey towards head and heart integration. ---------- Connect with Mona: https://mona-dawood.ch

Sophie’s LinkedIn headline reads: »Uncovering the wealth of knowledge and ideas from the voices we haven’t heard yet«. So it’s only fitting that our conversation revolves around what it really means to listen. We explore solutions for being heard in large zoom meetings or better listening in conversations with friends & family. Tune in to find out why expectations play such a big role in this topic – and what trail running has to do with all of this! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

Bianca is a critical thinker and a delightfully authentic person to speak with. In her work as a coach and author two very different worlds are merging: Mindfulness and Social Media Marketing.

Listen in and get to know a human being who looks for the good in people and helps bringing it into fruition. ---------- Connect with Bianca: • https://biancafritz.com • https://www.instagram.com/hashtagbiancafritz/

Maren Wilkeshuis shares texts and videos on social media and I'm a fan. Her posts stick out. They are raw, vulnerable and courageous. We never met before and this podcast episode is our very first conversation. We talked about »casual« topics such as: • Being a fierce bitch and aligning with love from within. • The impulse to smack someone and building bridges of trust. • A tiny virus infiltrating our fragile idea of security. • Exposing the bullshit and a much needed system-shock to wake us up. • A greater wisdom at play and coaching without preparation. Thank you, it has been a pleasure! ---------- Connect with Maren: • https://www.facebook.com/maren.wilkeshuis • https://www.instagram.com/marenwilkeshuis Book a free consultation via: • https://calendly.com/marenmaria?fbclid=IwAR2zd1jUQoIYUielIXK4qX_As_qCO4Z22Hj0eQE2m-n2D0YqFhVew6WDs8A • liefdevoorjezelf@gmail.com

We're back after a longer break to close out the second season with a gem! This time we swapped roles and I had the pleasure to interview Alma. About half way into her Coach Training Program with me she's sharing her experiences. What were the most successful moments as a coach trainee and what were the worst? What kind of coach do you want to be? And why in the world did you start out on this journey? Enjoy some nice behind the scenes material right on time before registration for the next Coach Training Class starts! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

I told her that I'm an open book... that was a mistake! For this special episode Alma asked me anything she wanted to know and she wanted to know a lot. What's my greatest fear? What's the most difficult obstacle that I've overcome in my life? If someone told me that I'm to young to coach him – what do I reply? To keep it crisp and concise we cut our joyful conversation down to 30 minutes. Wanna snack on it? Go ahead! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

Sometimes we find ourselves in a state of confusion and all we want is to snap out of it. But where to find that sweet feeling of clarity that has gone missing? On the way to this episode of our Podcast we got confused as well. Great! It gave us the chance to explore 10 different ways out of confusion. We thought that's dead on »Bullshit-Free Living« and definitely worth sharing with you guys. Enjoy! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

Authentic people are attractive. I feel drawn to these people and for some reason they seem to be polarizing. They are not everybody’s darling. Furthermore, authenticity seems to be effortless and natural. In fact it drains a lot of energy trying to fit in and making it right for the people around you. Showing up as you are and owning it is the easy way. What a great discovery! Follow us on this exploration… Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

We get drunk, smoke, eat too much sugar, stay up late, watch porn and we do all that for a good reason! What if it's true and behind every bad habit lies a good intention? In this episode we explore exactly that. Why are we having these bad habits? How can we stop beating ourselves up for that? Is it possible to develop good habits instead? Follow us in Episode 15!

»Unleashing your full potential« is a buzzword these days and surprisingly we find that it is NOT about learning a new method or adding more knowledge to your system. In this episode we explore the possibility that your full potential is right here – in the empty space within you waiting to be (re-)discovered. A painting is manifestation and the empty canvas is pure potential. A song is manifestation and the silence is pure potential. Find out how all of this applies to your everyday-life.

Being an empath is slightly different from »empathy«. In fact it's like empathy on steroids. We dig a little bit deeper into what it means to have the sensitivity of being an empath, what the challenges are and of course: the benefits. This is a great chance to see the boundaries between individuals melting away into a more connected society. Enjoy! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

In this episode we want to share a few stories on resistance with you. There are so many things that we successfully resisted in life - especially those things that are absolutely inevitable once they've happened: being injured, sudden change of weather, delayed trains... sounds familiar to you? Most of the time it's not the situation itself that causes suffering but the resistance that we keep up against it. »Just accept it« is easier said than done but it might still be the key.

Welcome to Season 2 of our Podcast for Bullshit-Free Living! After a little break we're back! A little more honest. A little more personal. A little more real. In our first episode we discuss how perfectionism can be a defense mechanism to cover up self-doubt. We also discuss how perfectionism can be a great asset. We touch on perfectionism in relation to ambition and why aiming for greatness is actually great as long as you're detached from the outcome. Enjoy! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

This is for those of you who are longing for feeling at home somewhere. For the ones who travel the world to find that place and for the ones who are done traveling and want to arrive somewhere. I recorded that meditation on the »secret called home« at the beach of Conil de la Frontera in southern Spain. A place where I learned what feeling home means to me. Come follow me for a walk on the beach! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

If you're facing a challenge in life you may turn around and run away from it. Experience has shown, that the exact same challenge just in a different disguise shows up again and again. So if turning away aka giving up doesn't work, we advocate for giving in! Giving in or leaning into the challenge in front of you sounds... well... challenging at first! In fact it's not that tough if you do it gently. Let's explore together! Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

»Ignorance is bliss« – We’re sure you’ve heard that proverb already. Just today we stumbled upon a quote even more outrageous: »Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.« Really? Are you sure? We doubt it. In times where it seems to be most common to ignore severely harmful behaviors out of simple convenience we make a stand that »Ignorance is NOT bliss.« In fact, ignorance is what stands in they way to actually experience bliss fully.

Join us for a well balanced episode on… how to find balance! We discuss why it’s better to carry two shopping bags (paper) instead of only one. Why we need hammocks at the office. Why the idea of work-life balance is BS and – on a slightly more serious note – why you have to tune in and listen to the signals of your body. If the system you’re living and working in puts you off balance – why do you still play along and co-create it? Good question! Let’s go for a walk on the tightrope together.

»We’re all walking around like living zombies by now, like robots. Everybody should do this self-work. It should be included in everything. If we would all do this work and really do it, there would be no war. I’m 100% sure of it.« I've been working with Alma for a short period of time only and she made some giant leaps already. This podcast episode is a check-in in the midst of her process. We reversed roles so that she's the one answering questions – sharing what true transformation from inside-out feels like. Starting from her inner work and its reflection in the outer world we ended up talking about the global dawn of consciousness. Sounds deep? It is. Follow us down the rabbit hole.

This is all about meditation. How to stop thinking? How to deal with backpain? What is meditation all about? The benefits seem to be so far away - how can I get to the goal faster? We take time to answer some of the most frequently asked questions around the topic of meditation. We bust the myths and give you an easy start into Alma's meditate-everyday-in-may-challenge. #mayditation Meditation is a tool and this months is the time to experiment with it.

Thom Walters meditates for over 35 years and has the declared goal to teach at least 1 million people how to meditate. As the host of over 1.200 podcasts at zencommuter.com he has plenty of insights to share with us on fitness, chillout, church, life, judgments, yoga and of course on his favorite topic: meditation. His next project is working with prisoners in New Hapshire on inner freedom through meditation. Thom and I never met in person. In fact we only talked for about an hour last year and another hour for this podcast-episode. However, it feels like we know each other forever. Dig deeper on ZenCommuter.com and MathiasFritzen.com

As kids, we learned through failures. It seems we forget how to do that when growing up. Instead, we learn how to make perfectionist plans to try and prevent failures altogether. The consequences of avoiding mistakes are serious. They are an important catalyst for growth. That's why, instead of cultivating fear and avoiding life, we encourage you to »fail forward« again. In this podcast episode, we examine what causes failures and why they come with a negative perception. We also explore ways to embrace failure in three different life situations: alone, with friends, and within corporate structures. Dig deeper on MathiasFritzen.com

Is it possible to prioritize yourself without feeling guilty about it? Of course! It's like they say with the oxygen masks on an airplane – you must put your mask on first to ensure that you have the possibility of supporting others around you. Let me paint a picture for you: you’ve had a long day and all you want is to spend a quiet evening by yourself. But you feel obliged to meet with the friend who wanted your help on something. Or you haven’t been getting around to doing something you love, like working out, reading a book or meditating. But you feel guilty when you tell your partner you don't feel like dinner and a movie tonight. Does that sound familiar? If so, then this is for you: Put yourself first!

Someone makes a rude comment or acts in a certain way that triggers the sh*t out of you. You automatically react to it in a way that you later regret. Sound familiar? It happens many times throughout the day. We explore what's actually going on in these situations and what to do when you get triggered by the people around you. Press pause like Neo in Matrix and freeze time to dodge the bullets. Practical advice on how to shift from reacting automatically to responding consciously – exactly the way you want to.
