The productivity epidemic isn't a personal failing — it's a feature, not a bug, of a system designed to extract value from your nervous system. While everyone's debating work-life balance, they're missing the deeper truth: we're living in economic structures that are biologically incompatible with human thriving. Your burnout isn't weakness—it's your body's intelligent response to participating in what I call 'extraction economics.' The real question isn't how to be more producti...
Most of us love reaching our goals — whether it's celebrating that presentation at work, securing a promotion, or buying our dream home. It's rewarding to complete something we've worked for. But many of us have also experienced the feeling of reaching our goals and then feeling completely empty. The thing we worked so hard for, believing it would give us happiness and peace, gave us none of that. The reason behind that emptiness? We've been achieving not because we're creating, but bec...
This week’s episode is about food and body image — a topic that comes up again and again with the high-achieving women I work with. So many high-achievers— myself included — have struggled with this. Body image becomes another way you perform, and food becomes another thing to control. Y ou try to eat as healthy as possible to feel safe, to manage how you look. And then binge eating can show up almost like an antidote to all that control — but also as a way to regulate yourself, to cope...
There's something I need to tell you about why rest still doesn't feel safe, even after all the self-development work you've done. When you're pushing and performing, that's your inner masculine energy being frantic and lost. The solution isn't simply to relax. It isn't another productivity system or longer morning routine. The problem runs deeper than that. Today I'm providing a different lens through historical context - sharing why the feminine is the true leader and how unders...
We're back! Season 2 of Self Love Path Podcast is here! ----- What if everything you've been taught about productivity is backwards? What if the secret to getting more done, creating more impact and feeling more alive isn't about speeding up, but slowing down? I know it might sound counterintuitive. We live in a culture that worships busyness. Where walking fast means you're important. Where exhaustion is a bit of a badge of honor and we're slowing down feels dangerous. Like you'r...
In which areas of your life are you saying yes, when you really want to say no, because you are afraid of the consequences of a no? Maybe you take on an extra project at work, even if you know it will burden you? Maybe someone asked for your time or energy, and you hear your mouth saying sure, no problem even if it actually is a problem? If someone asks for your opinion, do you say what you thin they want to hear, or do you share what is true for you? You might think being agreeable or ...
Summer is here and for most of us summer means vacation and taking a break from our normal routines. In the Nordics this week marks the celebration of midsummer – which is one of our biggest holidays. Summer is marketed as our prime time. Everywhere you look it seems like people have sexy and exciting plans. Everyone’s tanned, everyone’s surrounded by friends, family, a good looking man and happy kids, everyone has flowers in their hair, cute summer dresses and it seems as if the sun is...
Do you feel pressured by all the self-care “to do’s” you feel you should do? Exercise. Walk at least 10,000 steps daily. Lift weights — but let’s also do fasted cardio. Stretching, mobility, yoga. Meditate. Write a gratitude journal. Catch the sunrise. Ground in the grass. All before you’ve even started your day. It’s easy — just get up 20 minutes earlier! That’s all it takes. Easy, they tell you. And in between all of that, you’re trying to manage life. But also, actually enjoy it. In this e...
This conversation is a special one because I’m speaking to a true master of coaching, mindset, and living up to one's potential: Tigran Unanjan. Tigran is a wealth and mindset coach and has himself been mentored by none other than Bob Proctor, and you’ll hear that influence throughout this conversation. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time with Tigran, and when it comes to my mindset, dreaming big, and developing the habit of taking aligned, bold action—Tigran has been a game-change...
What if self-love isn’t just a nice idea — but the most important shift you could make in your entire life? Not the kind of self-love that’s about pampering or trying to feel good all the time, but the kind that changes the way you relate to yourself at the deepest level. The kind that makes you stop running from who you are. Because when self-love is missing, you don’t just feel bad — you start to believe that you are bad. And from that place, you try to fix, perfect, contr...
This week’s episode is a special one! It's is in Swedish because I’m interviewing my past client Michelle. Michelle worked with me last year, and in this conversation, she shares what it was like to let go of pressure and start living more from self-trust. If you’ve ever felt stuck, or like you’re living a life that looks good but doesn’t quite feel like you — her story might land. Get in touch with Michelle via her Instagram, she is amazing: https://www.instagram.com/medmichelleissa/&n...
This episode is about GOALS. I’ve never been one of those people who gets super fired up about goals. For most of my life, setting goals just felt stressful. Every time I set one, I felt pressure to know exactly how I was going to achieve it. And the second I committed to a goal, I also committed to overworking, to sacrificing everything else in my life just to get there. In this episode, I want to offer a different take. Because the problem isn’t you. You’ve just been setting th...
Let me ask you something. Is it easier to avoid an uncomfortable feeling, or to meet it head on and feel it? Most people would say avoid. And yeah — that makes sense. It feels safer in the moment. You stay in control. You don’t rock the boat. You keep the peace. But at what cost? I see it all the time — and I’ve lived it myself. You keep it together without even knowing you’re doing it. Your mind loops. Your shoulders tense. Your sleep is off. Your body won’t settle. You try to convince...
You say you want change — a new job, be more loving to your body, a deeper relationship, a different life. But when it’s time to take the leap, you find yourself stuck in the same old cycles: procrastinating, people-pleasing, overworking, bingeing, shutting down. In this episode, I break down what’s really behind self-sabotage — and why it’s not a flaw, but a form of self-protection. You’ll learn the one practice that transforms everything. I’ll share personal stories, powerful reframes...
In this episode, I'm sharing something that’s very real for me right now. Something I went through just last week. I found myself spinning in stress and overwhelm. Not because I had too much to do — but because even the things I wanted to do, felt heavy. It was like I couldn’t move fast enough. Every task I started made me feel like I should be doing something else instead. Time felt slippery. I felt like a failure, like I was falling behind. I had to catch up on life. I had found...
Have you ever missed out on social gatherings because of a wardrobe meltdown — feeling so bad about how you look, that you just canceled the whole thing and stayed at home? I have. Other times I made it out the door, but I was so obsessed with how I looked that I couldn't be present. For more than a decade, losing weight was one of my main goals in life. My happiness was more or less correlated with my weight. I was obsessed with finding the next perfect diet. I spent so muc...
This episode is about perfectionism. Perfectionism robs us from joy. It shows up looking like ambition, hard work, high standards. Society eats that shit up. You get praise, gold stars, promotions. But underneath it all, there’s fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of rejection. Fear of being unloved. Perfectionism can show up anywhere. In work, in your body, in your relationships, in how you eat, and how you show up in life. It can make living hard. This episode isn’t ...
Ever felt like every option forward feels impossible — and yet doing nothing feels just as bad? In this episode, I’m unpacking what it really means to feel stuck — and why it might not be a problem, but a powerful invitation. I share the hidden reason we often stay stuck (spoiler: it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated), how black-and-white thinking traps us in “either/or” mode, and how to tap into the wisdom of your body to move forward with clarity. This episode is your permissio...
Let's talk about stress! Are you one of those women who's always busy, always getting tasks done, and even planning every weekend and vacation with activities? You’re not alone. In our western society, you're taught to normalize and even glorify being stressed and busy. You might wear your busy schedule like a badge of honor, believing you need stress to be productive, to be important, to get anything done at all. Your relationship with stress often goes deeper than you might thi...
I used to wake up every day dreading what was ahead. Sundays were the worst—anxiety about Monday cast a heavy cloud over me. On the outside, my life looked great: a thriving career, global travels, and lots of friends. But on the inside? I felt empty, unloved, and lonely. In this episode of Self Love Path, I share my deeply personal story of how achievement became my survival strategy and how it led me to burnout, disconnection, and an endless cycle of "never enough." From the pain of ...
