heartfelt

on the complexity and layers of our personality: its context- and people-dependent iterations (a.k.a. new personality unlocked every day), how we evolve, who gets to see “the real us” (is there even such thing?), and is self-adjusting normal or a cause for concern (p.s. i still don't know) | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

my brain has not been doing so well lately - I've been either feeling anxious or keeping myself distracted to avoid the gnawing sense that something is going wrong and I cannot do anything about it. but alas!! I'm never one to stray from honesty and talking about these stressful times makes them feel that much less heavy - and so, here's a little talk about where I've been mentally, what's making me feel anxious and how I've been trying to move through it. as always, sending you lots of love

yeah i know it's 2024 and talking about sadness & feeling existential doesn't seem particularly vulnerable - but as a person who's often joyous and loves to share that with others, i really struggle with opening up about my negative emotions and validating them JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE, without needing a concrete reason for their existence. consider this episode a micro step in the right direction, an always needed reminder that you're not alone in feeling low and a practice in embracing the whole wide scope of our emotions rather than just the exciting peaks ! lots and lots and lots of love, weronika | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

we're all in such a rrrrushhhhh and for what?? how to live a slower, more intentional (=vertical) life instead of that where your heart feels like it's gonna jump out of your chest, 4 coffees in, and no chill whatsoever (=horizontal life). the secrets to protecting your peace like it was your little baby because it really is !! | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

i am so happy to bring another guest on the pod and excited to share our beautiful conversation that could probably go on for hours had i not pressed the pause button. Ula is a bundle of joy: a yoga teacher and a creative who, just like me, has grown up in poland and has since traveled, worked and lived around the world. we met a month ago in the middle of sweden where we both came to experience the life of a spiritual community and have both been amazed by the many parallels our lives reflect. in today's episode, we discuss everything from yoga, relationship lessons, our inner children and vulnerability all the way to maturing through one's twenties and balancing the yearning for stability with a nomadic lifestyle. quintessential heartfelt pod: open, free-flowing & unfiltered. i hope you enjoy this one & don't forget to check out Ula's newsletter: https://everythingatleast.substack.com/p/sauna-stories ! | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

what has community living taught me about relationships, how others can help us learn about ourselves, why we should make peace with loneliness & are the notions of intro/extraversion even relevant?

and so you know what they say... it's all about the journey xx on today's episode: why life is a constant balancing act and why we'll never really feel like we "made it" - so might as well enjoy the ride, with all its ups and downs, knowing that this is exactly what the fabric of life is made of || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

but i do it nonetheless... a life update, what's been on my mind and where do i find myself these days || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

i could start by saying "i've always been a sensitive child..." but that wouldn't hold entirely true. my soft interior has long been overshadowed by my unwavering ambition and short temper. however, some soul-searching allowed my sensitive self to emerge - and i'm afraid she's here to stay. this episode dissects all aspects of heightened sensitivity: the good, the bad, and the teary-eyed; from overthinking to socialization & navigating life in a world with a very tough exterior.

having lived in the iconic british capital for three years, i observed its evolution, from a lockdown-struck city to one with steeply rising gas bills and a famously unforgiving flat-hunting market. despite the harsh nature of metropolia, i did my best to make myself feel at home. yet, as time went by, i saw myself falling out of love with london bit by bit, until little affection remained. in this episode i weigh the pros and cons of living in the city, ultimately concluding that it might just not be the city for me...and that's okay :) || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

often said in a casual manner, the good old saying reveals some undeniable truth about how we perceive our lives: always lacking something and never as great as we would hope it to be. we fall into the false narrative of believing that everyone else has it better than us. we come up with a long list of "if only"s that stand in the way of our happiness. well, i hate to break it to you but the grass will always SEEM greener on the other side. so, instead of turning our heads around, let's get to the bottom of things and see how you can start appreciating all that you already have | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

a well-rounded debate around the topics related to jobs & one's professional path. answering your questions on choosing what you want to do, pursuing a masters degree, and defying societal expectations. making a case for why you don't need to be passionate about your job (but an interest in it is necessary), nor change lives while doing it (but also, don't work for the likes of shein) | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

you've heard right! taking a break from discussing Important Matters of the Heart & Soul to casually chat about my recent obsessions: from sourdough and pilates to youtubers and great reads...because life has been feeling too goddamn serious these days x

inspired by a recent read of oliver burkman's "4000 weeks" i ponder about the concept of wasting time, what it tells about our relationship with time and how to make peace with the fact that we are bound to miss out on the majority of experiences that life has to offer | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

here's a bitter pill to swallow: when you decide to stop, everyone else keeps on moving. it's just one of those episodes where I had to get things off my chest. being in-between things, having to "wait around" with too much time to think & realising how impermanent EVERY stage of your life is (though transitional periods like to play time tricks, making you believe they're gonna last forever). it's certainly not my most cheerful one but I would not dare to leave you without some words of comfort & a piece (or two) of unsolicited advice! || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

the title does the episode justice so... i'm just gonna leave it be | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

as soon as i entered my 20s, i realized things are not gonna be easy. the overwhelming freedom of choice, tumultuous change, new experiences and societal expectations serve you a bundle of pressure on a silver platter. the thing is, i don't want to give into that narrative - i actually want to enjoy myself and my life (believe it or not). hence, today's episode is my response (the middle finger) to that voice in your head that tells you you're not using this "precious" time right; a deep-dive into my philosophy / the attitude i chose to embrace as i move through each year of my fleeting 20s || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

she's still alive! having spent the past three months or so backpacking my way through asia, i've become accustomed to and eventually fluent in the art of backpacking. in this episode - coincidentally published on the last day of 2023 - i dish out on the best and worst parts of travelling with all your possesions stuffed in a 40 liter backpack; from the best foods you'll ever eat to burnout over small talk and why eternal summer is both a blessing and a curse... || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

i've been finding my mind SO restless these days. since the usual - exercise, yoga, and vitamin d - do not seem to work, i let my thoughts run their course, hoping that this mini-therapy episode cures my anxious brain. tune in to hear about my asia trip prep, obsession with jigsaw puzzles, foodstagram updates and how i'm learning to not get so easily annoyed (one breath at a time). || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

graduation, moving out of london, starting my gap year, traveling to se asia... september is truly a month where beginnings and endings cross paths. in light of all the chaos and shifs happening around me, i pause and reflect on the beauty and pain inherent to change, why it feels so daunting but also why it doesn't have to || for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Having returned from almost three weeks of non-stop travels, I come bearing THOUGHTS. On finding balance when being out of your routines, boundaries, money anxiety, and the constant search for fulfillment (spoiler alert: it remains to be found).

long time no hear besties! in today's episode, i share a few life updates and reflect on the important decisions awaiting me at this entirely new stage of my life. buckle up besties, mid-year crisis is ON

for whatever reason, in today's episode i read you some of my iphone notes; written at parties, on trains, in parks and other random moments when pen and paper weren't available. this (un)surprisingly personal episode had me talking about my relationship with alcohol, amazement over literature, wanting to write, the male ego (oops) and losing girlfriends over boyfriends (ouch)! / for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

heartfelt at its most chaotic; a 42-minute-long stream of consciousness sort of episode in which i discuss finishing uni, summer plans, how i got my first job, the highs of socialisation and why i'll never spend £6 on a pastry

a packed episode full of rambles under the umbrella of self-knowledge: boundaries, the voice of intuition, shaped vs inherited traits & so much more !! tune in angels

a restless girl, a glass of red wine and an evening to ponder about her recent appreciation for solitude, the seasonality of socialisation and why binging two seasons of grey's anatomy might be exactly what her soul needed / for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

if you've been following me for a while you probably realized i do not function well in chaos - i thrive in my routines and try to take as best care of my mental and physical health as possible, whether through exercise, therapy, journaling or (yes) cleaning. as such, i'm not surprised it has gotten me the reputation of a very structured and productive (if not obsessive huh) person. so, in today's episode, i talk all about self-discipline; why it matters and how it's helping me stay afloat, but even more importantly, how i began to implement it from a place of genuiene self-compassion and self-love - because there's nothing more fun and encouraging than being your own cheerleader !!! for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

In this very rambly episode, I dive into the concept of the future - how I used to think (or rather, obsess) about it vs how I do now and what has changed - but also get carried away and discuss all things metaphysical: existential dread, the meaning of life (or lack thereof) and death (and why I find it a comforting thought). So, in short, just your typical heartfelt episode x | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Ladies n gentlemen, a warm welcome for heartfelt's first guest - my flatmate and best friend, Beji! In this casual episode, we talk about all things physical exercise and its effects on our body image + mental health. We discuss how this relationship evolved over years, our current fitness routines (a fancy way of saying what we do to keep fit), sports we'd love to try and how we're both fixated on learning how to handstand. I hope you'll enjoy it just as much as we did recording this and do let me know if you'd want more guest episodes in the future! xx for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

The constant cold, the lack of sun and just the overall emotional fatigue... yeah, some could say January has not been easy on me. While acknowledging difficult emotions and letting yourself experience these lows is very important, you also have to beware of indulging in negativity and sadness (as i'm sure all of us have at one point or another - and that's ok!!). And so, i'm coming with the hopes of shining some light on the dark corners of your psyche and helping you gain some (very much needed) perspective on what might've been weighing on your mind lately. sending you lots of love, as always x

over the past few months, i've truly come to appreciate the value of authenticity, honesty, and the courage to have the difficult conversation - even though it can be so uncomfortable and !! scary !! the truth is, i simply do not have the capacity to deal with bullshit anymore - if something's on my mind, i may as well say it. it's upsetting to observe how so many of us would rather let things build up (sometimes to the point of compromising the quality of your relationships) rather than own up to our emotions in an honest and upfront manner. so, since i've entered my cough honesty era cough, i decided to devote this episode to discussing the value of authenticity and sincerity and how practicing the two can bring more meaning into your life and close relationships. i hope u v much enjoy it
