Everyday People

On today's episode I'm sitting down with Ghalib Hassam. Ghalib approached me as he wished to talk about how the passing of his father made him realise a lot about male mental health and toxic masculinity.  Being from Pakistan, Ghalib argues that due to the culture there was not a lot of room for tears, expressing one's feelings, for sorrow and to deal properly with the passing of his father. I had to be "strong" and this pushed me away so much that I left the country for 4 years." Thus, he fled to Istanbul in the hope of finding happiness and a life where the ghosts from the past would not follow him."My mental health itself declined massively after his death since the only way to support my family was to be "strong" for them. Because that's what I was taught by my culture. " Ghalib was diagnosed with depression. Today, his idea about happiness is very different from what it used to be.  He is back in Pakistan, from where he is currently telling us his story. This episode is for you whom are passionate about breaking down taboos, especially in the area of males mental health and whom is in the need of a good advice when looking for happiness and contentment in your life. If you want to know more about Everyday People visit https://www.everydaypeoplepod.com/ We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Social media:Instagram: @patriciaglindorfInstagram: @everydaypplwithpatriciaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bartholdy-glindorf-25538873/Support the show

‘You just got a second chance in life, why are you still depressed?” Today's lovely guest is the 22 year old law student and digital freelancer Janhavi Nagarhalli. My fellow kidney surgery sister! We're talking about her experience and journey having a chronic kidney disease and how it came to be that she had to get a new kidney. Luckily Janhavi's mum was a match and she had the surgery a year ago. Getting a kidney transplant does however not come without big life changes and adaptations, which for example includes having to take medicine that decreases the body's immunity. If the immunity is that of a "normal" person, the body will know the kidney is a foreign object and it will try and destroy it.  With her mature attitude and approach to life, Janhavi shares how she handles the everyday life. We talk depression and physical and mental feelings of isolation, as well as how her idea about her future work has changed as a result: “Oh yea I was a manic with my work. There I would have blood running out of my system but there I was with my laptop working”.If you want to know more about Everyday People visit https://www.everydaypeoplepod.com/ We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Social media:Instagram: @patriciaglindorfInstagram: @everydaypplwithpatriciaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bartholdy-glindorf-25538873/Support the show

Today I'm sitting down with public speaker Jesper Outzen whom by the age of 41 was hit by a large blood clot in his heart. At the time of having the blood clot Jesper was "healthy", and even the day before he had the blood clot there was nothing that told him that he would in the next 24 hours have a blood cloth. As he in a calm manner tells his story, I match it with my knowledge being the global health graduate (nerd) that I am. Did you know that the leading cause of death globally is cardiovascular diseases? Jesper knows that, but does everyone else? And what are the risk factors? What can we do to prevent coronary heart disease, which is focused specifically on the heart?I ask him; how and what it felt like when he had the blood clot? What did he do when he felt the symptoms? What did the doctors say? Is he impacted mentally and physically by it today? And lastly, would he have done anything different the day today, when looking back at his 41 years before getting the blood clot?Jesper and I share experiences and likeminded thoughts as we discuss the term "chronic" and talks about how it feels being "labelled with something chronic", because "who wants to be something chronic"?. Tune in on this episode to learn about Jesper's educative and meaningful story, and how he from that day in 2017 chose to live and work with the mission of reducing heart patients globally. If you want to know more about Everyday People visit https://www.everydaypeoplepod.com/ We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Social media:Instagram: @patriciaglindorfInstagram: @everydaypplwithpatriciaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bartholdy-glindorf-25538873/Support the show

"I think that a lot of times I feel like I enjoy the exact opposite of everybody else, and I think we joke a lot about that us introverts”.  On today's episode I sit down with Camilla Lærkesen who is a public speaker and the author of the article "I'm sorry I'm an introvert". Camilla wrote this article when she was in university, 7 years ago, and yet the article is still attracting tension and receiving applause. On this episode I ask her if she can share some experiences of "feeling wrong and misplaced in society when the narrative around introverts is that they're boring and they need to be out of their comfort zone"?I also ask her:- Does being an introvert equal being socially anxious and nervous? - Does introverts not like doing public speaking or networking? - Does academic institutions favour extroverts? And lastly, why could this potentially be a problem? We also talk about whether or not having low self-esteem automatically connects to being an introvert and whether or not she think that you have low self esteem if you don't like public speaking.I hope you will enjoy the 8th episode of Everyday People!If you want to know more about Everyday People visit https://www.everydaypeoplepod.com/ We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Social media:Instagram: @patriciaglindorfInstagram: @everydaypplwithpatriciaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bartholdy-glindorf-25538873/Support the show

On the fourth episode of Everyday People I talk to women empowerment coach Lucienne Shakir about how to act as a woman on social media, how to feel secure and safe, and how to respond to unsolicited sexual oriented messages on social media. For example, what do you do when you receive messages from sugar daddies on Instagram? What do you do when you receive a message that you feel uncomfortable with on Linkedin? Lucienne did a Linkedin post on this, and through receiving massive support on this matter, the post went viral. Lucienne got to understand that she is not the only woman who was struggling with receiving unsolicited dating requests and similar comments.  "This is an absolute waste of my time (...) it's 23 that I blocked. It must be happening to other people. How many women are dumbing down their attractiveness to not be attractive to the male advances. I don't want to shy away anymore, I want to be me and I want to not having to worry about it.

This week I'm interviewing the fabulous and smart UCLA graduate Kelly Gluckman! Kelly sits down to share both her good and bad experiences from a decade of being HIV positive in Los Angeles, and gives her insights into how it has been dating with the diagnosis, and how it is being perceived when she as a white cis women in LA tell people she has HIV.  "Dating is a mind fuck. (...) Throw HIV into the mix and let the madness ensue". How would you feel if your partner gave you HIV because he was sleeping with men without your knowing? Kelly shares how getting HIV has left her with some anger, some bitterness, but also a huge amount of wanting to take responsibility herself, and wanting to change other people's life! She educates us on why it is continuously important to talk to about HIV, to educate outselves on HIV and to talk to our partners. We need to understand what it means to have HIV today and how it is different today in 2022. Everyone should listen to this episode!

Launched in 2022, Everyday People is hosted by Patricia Bartholdy Glindorf.  " For quite some time, I've felt like podcasts have been solely centred around interviewing famous, quite well-known people".

Everyday People brings you ground-breaking personal stories on sensitive matters that we might find difficult to share with others, stories, which could make a difference to people if only they heard it.  Topics include: addictions, cancer, battling sickness at a young age, surviving, HIV/AIDS, physical and mental scaring, sexual risk behaviour, gay sex, and spirituality amongst other things. This show is for those who want to hear captivating, unexpected and shocking personal stories, which will motivate, educate and make you laugh and reflect.New episodes on Wednesdays. We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Support the show
