some level of self-awareness is a good thing - we don't want to be that obnoxious person who cannot read the room - but can we take the desire to better ourselves too far? can we think our way out of happiness? | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram ୨୧

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!

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
