The Minister of Finance for the Luxembourg Government talks to Lisa Burke ahead of the upcoming elections on 8 October. Yuriko Backes grew up in Japan and spent her life before government as a career diplomat, before joining the coalition on 5 January 2022, following the resignation of Pierre Gramegna. In this conversation, we talk about Minister Backes' top priorities if elected. Naturally, they cover the usual spectrum of housing, taxes and climate change, to name but a few. However, given her time in office, Yuriko Backes can add weight to the conversation of a true long-term vision for what's needed for Luxembourg to remain a competitive economy and continue to attract talent. Minister Backes speaks of precise ideas she / the DP party have in order to help young people with housing, to work with the university here to hone the skills needed for 'talent made in Luxembourg'. A couple of passion points for Yuriko Backes are women in positions of leadership (especially within finance and politics) and the sustainability sector. She speaks of the need for diverse leadership, the tax incentives they have in mind for solar panels and move towards impact investment. Finally, Minister Backes tells us that there are many ways to get involved with political action in Luxembourg, even if we can't vote in the national elections.
Yoga, Cider Day and Youth Camps in today's show with Lisa Burke, plus a look back at the week's news. My guests this week are Isabelle Thill, owner and teacher at Exhale Yoga; Carlo Hein, founder and president of the board at Ramborn Cider Company; Vicky Koster and Louisa Guarda who are National Junior Representatives of CISV. And, of course, Sasha Kehoe who gives us a reflection of the week's news. First Yoga Conference in Luxembourg I first met Isabelle Thill a few years ago when I was encouraged to try her yoga classes. Isabelle is someone you don't forget. She exudes zen, great beauty, poise and flexibility one could only hope to achieve in their lifetime. Since then, Isabelle has lived in South Africa, Paris during covid times, and has now returned to Luxembourg. Covid altered teaching conditions (and income) for many yoga teachers as people frequently take classes online now. As someone who has always travelled the world to discover new yoga styles and teachers, Isabelle is now bringing that expertise to Luxembourg. The first Yoga Conference in Luxembourg will be held on 15, 16 and 17 of September with much more besides yoga: music, meditation, lectures, massage, healthy lifestyle seminars and vegan cuisine. Ramborn celebrates World Cider Day Ramborn Cider company has developed award winning artisanal ciders from local apples, pears and even quince. The company is committed to working sustainably and to continuing the heritage that Luxembourg once had for cider-making. Carlo Hein and his family have been working in the sustainable construction sector and renewable energy sector since 1996 with their company Becolux. They built the first windfarm and first open solar park. Committed to good business practice, Ramborn Cider company is one of the first B Corps in Luxembourg too. World Cider Day will be celebrated on June 3rd and symbolises the start of the apple cider season. You can celebrate at Ramborn, where they'll have cider-making masterclasses, a DJ who will incorporate natural sounds and can also make cocktails, tours of the Cider Haff, food and fun for all the family. Naturally there will be cider tastings, plus the first 'Cider Pong' tournament in Luxembourg. CISV - a youth organisation to build global friendships Vicky Koster and Louisa Guarda joined CISV through word of mouth. Sadly, due to the decline during covid, the Luxembourg CISV chapter is at risk, and these young students came to tell us the great worth of this initiative. Have you got a gap in your summer plans and you're aged 11 upwards? Well then it's worth getting in touch with CISV to look at what they have on offer, not just for summer, but throughout the year. The idea is to connect people around the world and help develop great global citizens of the future. Their events are organised depending on age, from global villages to youth meetings, 'step up' and seminars. They provide amazing opportunities to travel too! Get in touch to see what's going on this summer.
Dr Sohom Das, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist in London; Nicolas Zharov & Inna Yaremenko from LUkraine and Sasha Kehoe from RTL Today Radio chat to Lisa Burke.
In this episode, we talk with Lisa Burke, the famous broadcaster, inspiring woman, and mum of 2 teenagers.During our conversation, Lisa tackles a very true, but often untold, part of the amazing journey of being a mother: the toll it can take on your career. We all wish that we can have it all, a family, kids, career, healthy diet, time for the gym, time for friends, and even a hobby perhaps. The reality though is very different, and at some point, something, or some things, have to give. It doesn't really need to be this way, but this is the situation in which many women find themselves all too often. Unfortunately, as much as we mention it in our conversations, we hardly take a proper look at what it really means for women and what could be done to truly support women instead.Lisa offers her candid view on this subject and bravely shares her own experience in the hope of supporting other women and inspiring change-makers to embrace and address this challenge.A massive thank you to Lisa for giving voice to a struggle that too often is left to women to deal with in isolation.Find out more about Lisa:https://www.lisatoniburke.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-burke-4272276/?originalSubdomain=lu

"Mary Berry ate my tart and it didn't have a soggy bottom!" The joyous and colourful Anne Faber talks about her delectation for food, food journalism, her Advent Instagram supporting local business, and what she'll be cooking for Christmas. Plus, we want to hear YOUR recipes for the holidays! From camembert wedges with cranberry sauce whilst camping, food has always brought joy to Anne's life. Now, as the most famous (and only?) TV Chef in Luxembourg, her books and shows share that passion. Anne's down-to-earth charm and creativity is beguiling. But this energy also shows a deep commitment to hard-work and her innate intelligence. Anne works very hard, London hard, where she spent 12 years. Firstly as a student, doing the 'safe' studies of English Literature at UCL (University College London), followed by a postgraduate degree in Journalism at City University, London, specialising in food and drink writing. As a producer at Associated Press (AP) she was beginning to feel rather burnt out when serendipity played a part in her literally walking into the then editor for Time Out London's Food and Drinks section. And so, after a short internship, she got the job as restaurant critic, where she "ate her way around London". In parallel, Anne continued to work as a TV producer for ZDF and RTL Germany (from London), and in 2010 started her food blog Anne's Kitchen, which was awarded a Digital Food Award by Food & Wine magazine in the US in 2013. During her time in London, Anne applied for the first series of The Bake Off and got down to the final 20! And happily adds, "Mary Berry ate my tart and it didn't have a soggy bottom" Back home, Anne's Kitchen has flourished. Anne has many culinary strands but the main ones remain TV and writing books. She takes inspiration from her travels, and when that's not possible, can travel the world in food through instagram! In her library of cookbooks, Nigella's prose is the type she most respects for its literary finesse. Having trained under Alain Ducasse in Paris in 2015, Anne's knowledge is solid, but when constructing her own recipes, she is conscious of how much effort her readers are likely to put in, plus what ingredients are available to us here. And more recently, Anne has been ever more thoughtful about how to use up leftovers so that there are none. We want your recipes for Christmas and the holidays! I know that many of you who listen are from lots of different places around the world. We would love to hear from you! What are your favourite Christmas or holiday recipes? How do you celebrate. What are your traditions? Send us some recipes and photos and I'll make sure Anne sees them too!

From the history of indexation in Luxembourg to its pros and cons across the socio-economic spectrum, Aline Muller and Jean-Paul Olinger discuss with Lisa Burke.
Is Indexation a good idea? What rights do freelancers have? From the history of indexation in Luxembourg to its pros and cons across the socio-economic spectrum, Aline Muller and Jean-Paul Olinger discuss with Lisa Burke. Indexation of wages has existed in Luxembourg since 1975, across the public and private sector. This means that wages are automatically increased in accordance with the consumer price index. This average is monitored over a rolling period of six months using a 'cote d'application'. However, Luxembourg is in the minority of countries using indexation for wages. The economic and social arguments are varied and nuanced, over which demographic one focuses on, and what time period. How does indexation affect social inequalities, our competitive edge compared to neighbouring countries, and what voice does a freelancer have? Through all of this discussion, the main aim for any government should be to: "Maintain business activity and employment at the end of the COVID crisis whilst maintaining social cohesion” My guests: Jean-Paul Olinger, Director of Union des Entreprises Luxembourgeoises (UEL) and the Institut National pour le Développement durable et la Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (INDR). He holds an MBA from HEC Lausanne and a Master of Business Law and Taxation from the University of Mannheim. Jean-Paul joined the tax team of KPMG Luxembourg in 2005, where he went from assistant to partner. And in January 2018, he joined UEL. Aline Muller, CEO of LISER (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research), affiliate Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Luxembourg and the University of Liège; andMember of the Board of Directors of the Luxembourg Central Bank.

Aline presents at many leading international finance conferences and her work has been published in top ranked finance journals. She regularly teaches financial economics and applied econometric courses at the Radboud University of Nijmegen, Maastricht University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Luxembourg and University of Liège.

62. Bazar International It's back! With products and produce from around the world, the Bazar International will open its doors once more at LuxExpo this weekend. A much loved, pre-Christmas event, the Bazar International will be open from the evening of Friday 26th (when not all the stands will yet be in full-flow) through to Sunday 28th November. Don't forget to register (for free) to gain access as numbers have to be capped for Covid-safety. This event showcases stands from various countries whose residents are living here in Luxembourg: their food, drinks and various items from those countries. As usual, the Grand Duchess, Maria Teresa, will visit on Saturday afternoon, and after visiting the various stands, she will do a book signing. Earlier this month her book, A Sovereign Love, co-written with Stéphane Bern, was published. All proceeds will go to her non-profit organisation, Stand, Speak, Rise Up, which denounces rape as a weapon of war. Charity stands at the heart of the Bazar International. Each country's stand chooses their own charities to support, which are global in nature. Once the costs of hiring the venue, utility and moving overheads are paid, all profits from everything that is sold is divided between the charities. The entire organisational committee, and all the people who work on the stands are volunteers. My Guests: Carmen Decalf, President of the Bazar International Organisational Committee Charlotte de Vreeze-Nauta, Head of PR for the Bazar International Mars di Bartolomeo, Member of Parliament and President of the Parliament's Health Commission.

The biggest science event in Luxembourg is open once more! An opportunity to spend the day with real researchers, experiment and learn new ideas. The Science Festival in Luxembourg started in 1995 and this year will mark the 13th edition. It was started by the former Director of the Museum, Norbert Storm, who was inspired by the very famous Science Festival in Edinburgh. The idea was to promote science within the museum and to showcase that museums can be fun! Now it's a huge event, where science communicators meet the public, present their own projects to the public and there are plenty of activities for all age groups. The FNR joined as a funding partner in 2003. The Science Festival fulfils one of the four pillars of the FNR to promote science to the public. Nowadays the Science Festival is the biggest science event for the public in Luxembourg, attracting 10 to 12,000 visits in a normal year. Researchers engage with the public and get feedback. It's a wonderful two-way communication channel. And afterwards families return and often keep the conversation going at home. The Science Festival runs from 11-14 November. The first two days will be for school visits. This year more than 400 schools registered but only about 160-180 can get a space due to Covid (and fewer workshops - 45 rather than 65). The main festival at the weekend, is a Covid Check event and people must register. One of the four pillars of the FNR is to Promote Science to the Public. There is funding available for anyone who has a strong idea and wants to apply for this PSP awards. My Guests Patrick Michaely, Director of Communications and Public Relations at the National Museum of Natural History since it re-opened to the public in 1996. Jean-Paul Bertemes - Head of Science in Society for the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and the chief editor of science.lu. The National Museum of Natural History houses scientists and naturalists who study the specimens in the collections, devoted to the scientific aspects of our natural heritage. Perhaps it's not so well known that it is also a research institute, where science and culture are completely interwoven. The FNR is the main funder of research activities in Luxembourg and also has a mission to promote science to the public.

President of the Pirate Party & Député since 2018, Sven Clement talks about the state of politics in Luxembourg, fatherhood, plagiarism, lobbying & spyware The last couple of months have heralded a new chapter for Sven and his wife Christine as they welcomed their baby Mia to the world. At only two months old, she has already travelled to three countries with her parents. It seems that the arrival of a baby has not altered their clear zest for life. Clement has been one of the more outspoken Députés on his views of Prime Minister Xavier Bettel's alleged plagiarism. This is in reference to the investigation by Reporter.lu, which suggested that out of a 56 page dissertation, only 2 pages didn't contain plagiarised content. Reporter confirmed this finding with multiple independent experts. This was a paper written in 1999 for Bettel's Diplôme d'études approfondies (DA), a masters level research degree, at the University of Nancy-II, which is now known as the University of Lorraine. According to Sven, the issue is that Bettel hasn't even given a proper apology for what he has seemingly confessed to. As for resigning, well that leaves a void - who could replace him? It is Clement's view that there are no obvious DP candidates as they have all so clearly aligned themselves behind Bettel. Plus, the coalition makes the situation even more fragile. And so, for now, there is no clear successor if Bettel was to ever consider resigning, which is not what Clement is asking for. Clement thinks it is unlikely that residents of Luxembourg who do not hold the nationality will be allowed to vote anytime soon, 'unfortunately'. However, he believes a second chamber could work, with an elected body to discuss all laws passed in Luxembourg. This would be a way to bypass the need for constitutional change, and to allow for more open discussion across language barriers. It ails Sven to see that some back benchers are content where they are, with no ambition to change the world but only the ambition to be re-elected. Sven is not aware of any paid lobbying but says that politicians are called on a daily basis by people or organisations and their concerns. He poses the question, as was recently discussed in the Chamber, "What is lobbying?" and notes the loaded meaning to the word lobbyist. If it does happen, if politicians are paid to lend their support to causes, Sven agrees that it should naturally be declared, "but there are almost no mechanisms in place to control this". The responsibility of MPS is to have a balanced view, he adds. Clement is crowd-sourcing for Carbon Fit - a carbon dioxide removal legislative proposal for Luxembourg and Beyond. There are a number of companies working around the world to capture carbon-dioxide with vacuum-like machines, hoovering up the gas from the air, the repurposing it. Along with many other politicians globally, Sven understands the necessity to act fast to avoid excess global warming. "I would like governments not to buy spyware." Unknown security is making every computer and smartphone more vulnerable. NSO Group, the company behind Israeli spyware Pegasus, is now blacklisted by the US Treasury. They have multiple holdings in Luxembourg. Pegasus, like other 'Trojan Horses' (malware that misleads the user), can gather evidence but also plant evidence at the same time. What worries Clement is that the rule of law could be undermined. He believes it's best to use human intelligence, 'the old-fashioned way'. Bettel let slip that the Luxembourg government use spyware, that they bought Pegasus. To use "against whom?" ponders Clement. The Luxembourg government communicates between themselves using Whatsapp. "Sometimes I'm really baffled by the naivety that Luxembourgish leading politicians have when it comes to digital issues." Sven later goes on to explain that he is a "convicted criminal for hacking" when he easily found a way into the medical data-base in Luxembourg after his Medico Sportif examination.

How many laughs a minute do you need to turn comic professional? Did you know there's a stand-up comedy scene in Luxembourg? Elian Habra and Jess Bauldry tell Lisa all about it. It might have gone unnoticed to you that there is a burgeoning English comedy scene in Luxembourg. Over the last five years or so, amateur comics have got together to hone their skills through weekly open mic sessions. In this conversation, they give me tips on how to start as a comic, a few basic rules. My guests: Jess Bauldry has lived in Luxembourg since 2010 and was instrumental in creating the comedy open mic scene in Luxembourg.

Are there inequalities in divorce proceedings for men? Is ‘Résidence Alternée' the default ruling for child custody? In this podcast, I talk to Patryk Rybiński, the President of FAD Fathers Against Discrimination, http://fad.lu/, and Andy Adams, who have both experienced the inequalities of divorce when it comes to child custody and associated issues. Fathers Against Discrimination was set up to create a platform of dialogue: - to promote gender equality - to raise awareness of gender parental discrimination in Luxembourg Family Courts - to ensure that children's rights are respected They believe Luxembourg Family Law is outdated with regards to divorce and the rights of each parent during custody hearings of children. In 2015 there was a Council of Europe ruling which called on all EU member states to introduce Equal Shared Parenting as a base for family law. [CE Resolution 2079/15]. It has existed in Belgium and Denmark for a long time. There was a change in the Luxembourg law in November 2018 to state that Equal Shared Parenting - Alternating Residence should become the default. Patryk and Andy feel that ‘Résidence Alternée' is still not the default law in Luxembourg. Andy speaks about the 'holy trinity' of divorce being financial assets, property and custody, saying that most are split 50-50 except child custody. Once custody arrangements have been put in place, the court still needs to assign one home the main 'residence', even in the case of alternating parenting. This has all manner of consequences when it comes to receiving child benefit, tax benefits and deductions, access to health records, CNS cards, school reports, and so it goes on. “Zukunftskeess argues that regardless of even or odd number of children in a household the payment cannot be split because the IT system does not allow it. “ This particular quote from fad.lu reminds of the Little Britain sketches where David Walliams drawls "Computer says no". According to Patryk, there are no shelters for men and boys in Luxembourg, even though men also suffer from domestic violence (about 40% in 2019), and are most commonly the ones to leave the family home.

Dr Christos Christou, International President of Médecins Sans Frontières, spoke to Lisa about the vast range of work they do as they celebrate 50 years "No doctor, you're not a human. You're my hope." It's this sort of message, which Dr. Christou received from an HIV patient in Zambia nearly 20 years ago, which keeps him going. European Borders Working through war zones, at the borders of the European Union and areas of climatic degradation, these doctors, nurses, logistical staff and much more besides, have bombs dropped on their hospitals, and can be under constant threat where international human rights are often not adhered to. And yet it can be the 'quieter' zones which can cause them the most mental stress. Dr. Christou talks of little children in the Greek camps who have no hope for life. Their eyes are vacant. They commit suicide. MSF witnesses the constant violence and pushbacks at European borders and believe this is inhumane. In the past five years they have witnessed the 'hotspot approach' - the new model of MPRICs (Multi-Purpose Reception and Identified Centres), which MSF refer to as ‘closed camps', on the Greek islands. MSF believe this will increase segregation and harm the population. Out of Libya Dr. Christou talks about the horrendous situation in Libya right now - no safe or legal way of escaping without turning to human traffickers. The schemes that were opened with IOM (voluntary repatriation) and UNHCR (transit mechanism through Niger and Rwanda) are no longer working due to obstacles in Libya and bottlenecks in the transit countries. In the absence of any alternative, people rely on criminal networks for passage, constantly at risk of violence and abuse. These people are extremely vulnerable, most of them entitled to protection. Since 2017-2018, MSF has worked with embassies and step up bilateral engagement to repatriate the most vulnerable people. Climate Change Dr. Christos talks of MSF's operational research units which can scientifically monitor the plight of refugees due to climate change for instance. MSF Luxembourg is launching a national campaign: "We care for people the world over, but will that world always be there?". Climate change means that many vulnerable population groups of the world are hit hard, due to the degradation of their environment. Covid Inequality MSF have also borne witness to the COVID vaccine inequity. Dr. Christou calls for solidarity, waive IP rights and share the knowledge. About MSF Médecins Sans Frontières is one of the world's leading independent international medical relief organisations, working in more than 88 countries, with operational centres and national offices in 30 countries. Created in 1971, MSF launches its operations in areas where there is no medical infrastructure or where existing ones cannot withstand the pressures due to war or natural disasters, for example. MSF remains completely independent from any political rule, economic, military or religious commitment. MSF funding is based almost entirely on individual donations. The Luxembourg section of MSF was created in 1986. For me, this was one of the most poignant podcasts I have had the privilege to record.

Cédric Gantzer from CGDIS talks to Lisa Burke about the emergency services in Luxembourg, what they do and how to help. Have you heard of CGDIS? Perhaps the summer floods brought this acronym to the fore. It stands for Corps Grand-Ducal d'Incendie et de Secours; Luxembourg Fire and Rescue Corps. Cédric Gantzer, Chef de département for the Director General at CGDIS, is a trained firefighter himself. Here he talks about what the emergency services do, since the centralised unit was created in 2018. Most of the firefighters in Luxembourg are volunteers - this now stands at about 4000 compared to the 600 professional firefighters, soon to increase. Firefighter itself is rather a misnomer for the range of work they need to be trained to carry out. If you want to become a volunteer for your community all of the details are the on the website. 112 is the emergency number you call when you're in an emergency situation. Currently only about a quarter of their calls are actual emergencies. This number, by the way, works across Europe. The mission of CGDIS is to: - Protect and save people - Protect and save animals - Protect and save goods - Protect the nature - Teach the population in matters of first help, resilience a.s.o. If you want to watch the move of CGDIS from their historic centre in Route d'Arlon, to their new premises in Cloche d'Or, there will be a procession of all fire vehicles and other emergency service vehicles on the morning of Sunday 12th September through the city. Check out my podcast from last week with Tim Pauly if you you want to learn more about the Grand-Ducal Police Department. Remember the police emergency number is 113 in Luxembourg.

Chatting with Tim Pauly from the Luxembourg Police, we learn how to protect ourselves and our homes from criminals, from burglary to cyber crime. Tim Pauly, a First Commissaire with the Grand Duchy's Police Department, has worked as a police officer for 20 years: the first fifteen in uniform as a patrol officer and the last five in the national prevention team. In this conversation we learn about the Police-App, which includes the "My Safe" function. This allows you to save photos and information on your valuables, such as a bicycle, which simplifies complaints (if they are stolen or damaged) and a potential restitution process: https://police.public.lu/fr/application-mobile.html If you're going on holiday you can inform the police here: https://police.public.lu/fr/commissariat-virtuel/depart-vacances.html For more general information on different aspects of crime prevention, including (cyber-) mobbing, scams and other internet evils check out this page. https://police.public.lu/fr/prevention.html There's an e-Police station, which allows you to fill out various more common forms, such as filing a criminal report, incidents and the like: https://police.public.lu/fr/commissariat-virtuel.html How to contact the police: Social media links: all @PoliceLux Twitter - you can DM the police Facebook - Messenger Instagram - Message For general questions, you can contact the police via e-mail: contact@police.public.lu or using this form: https://police.public.lu/fr/support/contact.html Subscribe to my podcast!

"We have no immediate say on house prices, except for public affordable housing" says Mike Mathias, Premier Conseiller for Deputee Henri Kox Housing is an issue that straddles many ministries. Mike Mathias explains the jigsaw to us, and where the Ministry of Housing fits; what they can achieve. He also explains the two arms of housing: capital market wants and needs versus the human right to a home and social cohesion. We talk about the hopeful impact of the recently voted in Pactes du Logement, the way in which a combination of future reforms could help utilise land and empty buildings in a more constructive way for home-seekers.

Speaking with Sandrine de Vuyst from ING Bank, Lisa continues her housing mini-series. When looking at the house or apartment prices in Luxembourg, normally one also needs to consider a mortgage. Have you ever wondered what a bank looks for when you apply? Well, Sandrine de Vuyst, Head of Retail and Private Banking at ING, discusses just that. It's all about maintaining a healthy debt to income ratio, to avoid over-indebtedness. And there are lots of credit simulation tools online. Banks have a duty to take care of their clients and lend only when they think it is in the best interest of the client and their potential to pay back.

Peter Kleijnenburg and Karin Waringo talk about the loss of Luxembourg's architectural heritage. Peter Kleijnenburg set up the facebook group "Luxembourg Under Destruction - Mir wëllen hale wat mir hunn" in 2019 after witnessing so many beautiful homes being demolished. Prior to that, he had started taking photos in 2014 of the destruction. Karin Waringo, a member of the group, has always been active in saving Luxembourg's housing heritage. She is deeply interested in retaining the heritage internally too - the craftsmanship in woodwork, tiles and other features which provide a living history. We talk about many different aspects of why it makes sense to keep the older buildings: environmental, social and historical reasons. We compare with Housing Protection schemes abroad. "Whole cities and villages completely lose their character. We constantly live in a construction site. Entire streets been demolished." In this conversation, I also talk about some of the poignant stories which have been written in to me. Please keep them coming!

Jacques Vandivinit, Director of Fonds du Logement, one of the largest social housing initiatives in Luxembourg talks about who can apply & what they offer. If you don't already own a home anywhere else in the world, if you are registered to live in Luxembourg, and if your income is low, you can apply for social housing with Fonds du Logement. They offer 70% of units to rent and 30% to buy. The idea is that with a much reduced rental rate, people at lower salary levels can try to save towards possibly buying a home in the future. The rental rate by law is about €5 /m2 without the other charges for ultilities etc. The rent is always in line however with disposable income. When buying a home, the land will continue to be owned by Fonds du Logement - you buy a leasehold in effect. Other social housing schemes in Luxmebourg include Société Nationale des Habitations à Bon Marché (SNHBM) and Fonds Kirchberg. Please subscribe to my series and leave a review!

Continuing our series on housing, here we discuss the net return to the investor after all the costs and taxes have been considered. The four major drivers for understanding the Luxembourg Buy-to-Let market are: - Gross rental yield (not very high) - Property appreciation (has been very high - will it continue apace?) - Leverage the use of your deposit money - Tax incentives A new law came in this year so buy-to-let investors need to put down a 20% deposit. My guests, as in Housing- How to Buy, my last podcast, are Pierre Clement, managing director of Nexvia, and Vincent Quillé, managing director of Nexfin. They advise: - buy your own home first, if you can - buy a buy-to-let which is easy to sell on (1 or 2 bed apartment or such like, with good access to town). - buy off-plan or a very old house which needs to be redone. You can get more information on how to buy with our RTL Series "Luxembourg Insider" Please subscribe to my series and leave a review! It makes a great difference to being found online.

We've seen house prices suddenly hike year on year since 2018. Why? Will this trend continue? What are the effects of COVID on the housing market? From 2010 to 2017, there was a price rise of 4.5 to 5%. Since 2018 it's been 10-15% per annum. Why? Well, we try to figure that out in this discussion. Then, we've also had COVID where one might think that house purchasing would dampen down. Not the case. Some reasons for the sudden hike might include the continued fall in interest rates to an exceptionally low point today, Brexit, time available during home-working / COVID to think about buying, investing in a solid asset in a changeable, uncertain market and wanting more room to work from home. Coupled with this we have the continued issue of a severe lack of housing available here in Luxembourg. The upshot is that experts are predicting a more controlled growth of the market going forward, this also due to some new laws the government have put in place which mostly affects investors / second time buyers. As for money, well tenants now frequently allocate about 40% of their income on rent, compared to less than 20% in 2010. For new home-owners there is usually a very high debt ratio (45% of income) and a very high loan to value. To discuss these issues, I'm joined by Pierre Clement, managing director of Nexvia, Vincent Quillé, managing director of Nexfin and Julien Licheron a research associate at LISER - Urban Development and Mobility, and member of the Observatoire de l'Habitat : expert on the residential market in Luxembourg since 2009 You can find out what the government and municipalities are planning for future urban planning developments on the PAG.

Tackling one of the most topical subjects in Luxembourg - the housing market. In my first podcast of this mini-series, we discuss how to buy a home. Why buy in Luxembourg? Over the last decade, house prices in Luxembourg have soared. It's been an incredibly dynamic market. Lucky for you if you bought before 2018, but since then the percentage increase has been in double figures. What's going to happen in the coming years? We will discuss that in this and coming episodes. How do buy in Luxembourg? That we discuss here. We dig into the costs, the tax credits and state aids available. Whether to buy new, old or off plan. What are the future town planning ideas? The effect of the fast tram which is meant to be ready for 2027 from Luxembourg city to Belval. Online portals to view homes The main three are: AtHome.lu Immotop.lu Vivi.lu Also, make yourself known to estate agents in the area you want to buy in!

Esmée Chengapen, Sophie Seale + Drew Puxty lend their expert thoughts to the roots of addiction, necessary compassion for healing + lack of support in Lux Esmée Chengapen, Sophie Seale + Drew Puxty lend their expert thoughts to the roots of addiction, to view it with 'soft eyes and a compassionate heart', and how Luxembourg can't serve the need for holistic help. After listening to my podcasts on Eating Disorders, Esmée Chengapen got in touch to explain that addiction, in all its guises, is a problem we don't discuss enough in Luxembourg. Not only that, but all three therapists agreed that there is insufficient help available in general, and especially in English. My guests this week are: Esmée Chengapen - a Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist (UKCP registered) and EMDR practitioner. She specialises in childhood trauma and grief and this includes individuals who have been traumatised as a result of living with family members who are or were heavily reliant on alcohol or drugs. She worked in the corporate world for 25 years before making the transition to working full-time as a therapist. Sophie Seale is a Jungian psychoanalyst and has worked in Luxembourg for more than 25 years. She specialises in early childhood trauma and has thus extensive experience with the addictive tendencies traumatised adults fall back upon in order to prop up their damaged egos. She also works with couples. Drew Puxty studied Neuropsychology and worked at the U Center near Maastricht. This is a centre where English-speaking patients resident in Luxembourg are sent for intensive therapy treatment for addiction issues among others. Although Drew is not based in Luxembourg, he knows quite a lot about extreme addiction cases from the country. "How does this substance help you?" Drew would ask if you went to seek his professional help. Please subscribe to my series and leave a review! Get in touch with Lisa Burke at www.lisatoniburke.com

Giving birth is a big turning point for any woman and family. People talk about how beautiful it is and we treat it as a blessing. But how come we never talk about the effect on a mother’s life afterwards? In this episode of the Fire In the Belly Podcast, Pete sits down with Lisa Burke, an author and yoga teacher, to talk about her traumatic birth experience and how yoga and meditation helped her get through it. Listen in to learn how Lisa managed this and how she found her inner peace and balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS There was addiction in Lisa's family which brought many challenges particularly in relation to her self-identity and self-value. Ultimately the quest was to find a place of balance not just within herself but with her family. This is never easy, but acknowledging the truth allowed for a place to begin the healing. Practising yoga and being around her family helped her improve her health and wellbeing. Though yoga was her #1 solace, it wasn’t possible to do it after her traumatic birth experience. Lisa suffered from postpartum PTSD and had to see a therapist. Her physical (plus psychological & mental) wounds healed, but life became very different. She needed to provide for her child financially, developmentally and emotionally. So, due to financial reasons, Lisa had to put a halt to teaching Kundalini yoga, and apply for a typical 9-5 job. But what isn’t for you, isn’t for you. It was sucked the life out of her. It needs to feel right. When Lisa was working a job she didn’t like, she was dreadful and in pain, even outside the office. According to Lisa, it’s easier to be successful when you’re happy with what you’re doing. So, she left the job, wrote her book, and started teaching again. Listen and connect to what your heart is telling you. Always ask: Does it feel right? Speak your truth. When we share our traumatic experience, we help ourselves and other people. We connect. We hear other insights and take in whatever that could help us. BEST MOMENTS “We all meet that part of ourselves when we want to connect to something deeper, to understand who we are, or to understand why we are here for.” “When you do something that your heart isn’t calling for, a part of you dies.” “If we are able to stop, to turn inwards, to slow down, to calm, to just come at the head and drop down into the heart… that’s where our calling comes from.” “We are required to open up this soft belly, this part of ourselves that has the power to move forward—the power to take steps.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Listen to Fire In The Belly Podcast in Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061)!

Earth to Table Vegan Market was founded in November 2017 by Allison Staten and Cassandra McFarland. As they were both newly vegan – and had experienced their fair share of struggles! – they wanted to create an event that supported others within our community as well as create a “one stop shop” for those looking to acquire vegan goods. Allison and Casandra's goal is to create a space which encourages a cruelty free and sustainable way of living by bringing together local plant-based vendors. Each market showcases products ranging from food to cosmetics and personal care products. If you enjoyed this episode, an iTunes review would be SO appreciated!
