Dream Life Design Lab

The focus is on discussing trends that seem to become more prevalent into our lives. Do we mindlessly adopt them, or do we stop and think about how they can serve us?
The focus is on:
1. The adoption of AI, specifically ChatGPT into our lives. At what cost are we adopting this? Are we aware of the negative consequences?
2. The emergence of authenticity on social media: TikTok vs. Instagram, de-influencing, raw emotions, blurry pictures.
3. The continuous obsession with health: magnesium supplements, ashwagandha, mushroom gummies & lymphatic drainage.
4. Loneliness is becoming the norm: our hunter gatherer brain, being disconnected in the age of connection.
Hope you enjoy!!

I'm joined by a close friend as we discuss our experiences as expats in The Netherlands, our daily internal conflicts, how we deal with difficult feelings, pressures of the 20s, and working towards radical self acceptance.
Paul-Antoine is a podcast editor and lover of art. He is someone that believes strongly in pursuing a life that you love and not settling for the expectations of others. He is also a great friend of mine! You will notice this as the conversations flows very easily as we make jokes and talk about internal conflicts in cinema :)
Questions discussed:

1. How do you experience being an expat in The Netherlands?
2. What are some of your daily internal conflicts (as minorities)?
3. How do you navigate the pressure of the 20s?
4. How do you cultivate radical self-acceptance and appreciation?

Why is it important to discuss internal conflicts? How do you go about understanding why you are conflicted about decisions in your life? What does it even mean to coexist?
In todays episode, the focus is on introducing internal conflicts and highlighting their relevance in the current societal context. From the personal benefits of improving life quality, to the macro benefits of stimulating compassion and having a future proof mentality.
The first internal conflict discussed is all about realizing you love fashion, but you also care about the environment. Despite your love for fashion it bothers you the damage that this industry does to the environment, and how it makes climate change worse.
The conflict is deconstructed using a psychology perspective, and looking at some facts from the WHO organisation. The psychology discussed is about the role fashion plays in our lives, and how our personal values guide our purchasing decisions.

It's time to get real about the ways we hold ourselves back with self-sabotage & limiting beliefs.
In this episode, I'm digging deep into why we need to address those stories we tell ourselves about who we are, and what we deserve.
Right now, we're in a massive cultural shift, and for us women, it's our moment to step up, not just to break through ceilings but to build our own spaces where we flourish.

I'll take you through my own journey, and the journey of other women entrepreneurs who realized that the one thing standing between them and their dream life was... their limiting beliefs and self-concept.
We'll talk about those nagging thoughts that we're not enough, that we don't deserve the spotlight, or that we're meant to go it alone—and I'll tell you, it's time to call them out.

So, if you're tired of being your own roadblock and you're ready to claim the life and success you deserve, this episode's for you.
The YouTube episode is out this Thursday @20.00 CEST.
