Hey friends and neighbors! I am so excited about today's episode since it is truly special. In the past months, I have personally experienced so many falls that it has been challenging throughout it. Today, I will be sharing some bits and pieces and how we misinterpreted failing as something extremely frustrating and why we should shift our perspective about it. Failing or as Simon Sink said, "falling" is something that happens quite frequently. Not only as children, we fell and had to learn, but now as adults, we forget how necessary falling is, especially for our own development and enrichment.

Hi Friends!! Welcome back to my new Podcast Dang It - I am in my 20s! I am so excited to finally share this project, and especially for all the excellent episodes coming. This Podcast will be about the challenges of becoming an adult and how to manage the new life as a young adult. I guess, most of us have no real idea how to navigate through the transition of growing and adulting and this is why I have decided to share my thoughts and struggles with the world. I firmly believe that again, we all struggle with life sometimes, and I want to normalize that, along with taking stigmata away. A little background story: I lived in California as an Au Pair, and had to grow into an adult within months. Taking care of yourself and children was very challenging and, after starting a college education abroad was even more frighting. Adulting is fun but very exhausting sometimes, and you know what? That is normal and ok. This Podcast is supposed to resemble your safe place and space. You are more than welcome. I will cover many topics that I believe are very vulnerable and necessary in the 20s such as Sexuality, Mental Health, Balancing your needs and desires, and what we are supposed to do with our lives. Go to school? Get a house? Create a family? You as an individual have to choose; it's your life. This Podcast will be in English and German, so don't worry! Thank you for being here, and I hope you'll enjoy the POD!!

Hey Friends and Neighbors!  I am happy you are back! In this episode I am talking about the challenges you are facing as an Au Pair; the challenges no one talks about. Mental distress and how to deal with that. As an Au Pair, you have to learn how to properly adjust to the family you've met online miles away from what you have known your entire life. However, this episode provides an honest conversation, which is worth listening to, even as someone that has no idea of Au Pairing. Growth, Healing, and finding your place in this world are important key aspects of this Episode, enjoy!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rieke-folkerts/message

Good Day everyone! It's been awhile but I'm happy to be back with a new Episode! Today we are going to talk about Healing and how I reflect on that. Keep in mind that Healing is different for everyone. You might heal in a different way or pace, which is totally normal and ok! Short disclaimer: in the episode I stated, that I want to be heard by people and that I feel very alone sometimes. It is very important to me that no one miss-understands that message. I feel very lonely sometimes, fighting my battles, since it is so challenging. My friends truly help me by talking about episodes, however in moments where I battle my Anxiety and Depression, I feel so lonely and unheard. In my opinion, this is a part of healing, to learn to be ok with your thoughts and that friends are there to support you, however, the process of growing is a battle I have to face by myself. I am truly grateful for everyone that keeps fighting with me❤️ “A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rieke-folkerts/message
