Connection Talks

In this week's episode "Sleep for the WIN!" we talk about sleep. For many, it is something that we don't take too seriously. In today's society, a lot of us struggle to sleep and are sleeping way too little. We go to bed at different times, we might worry about past events or future happenings.
In this episode of Connection Talks, I talked to Laura Bojarskaité, a neuroscientist who studies the science of sleep. Her research focuses on "brainwashing" a process that happens in our brain while we are sleeping. She gives great advice on how to get more quality sleep, and what happens when we don't get enough sleep. Laura is also a yogini and a neuroscience consultant at the Atman Yoga School, where she teaches the science of meditation and brain anatomy.

Music has been a great companion for Hanna Handycat from an early age. She discovered a passion for music production and beat-making at the age of 15. A series of challenging events in her mid-twenties led to years of depression and isolation, where she felt disconnected from the music. Now, in her early 30's, she has regained her connection to the music, in a new and deeper way. She has also gained a lot of knowledge on how the mind works and how to work through trauma symptoms, in order to find back to her authentic self.

Tune in to this episode which is a little different from the previous ones! There's some treats for you ;) 

In this episode, I have the beautiful Khaoula Bencheikh on the show. A Moroccan ex-pat living in Paris, who is a data analyst and the podcast host of "Women with Stories".

Khaoula shares her story and what she has learned on how to connect with people from different cultures after having spent many years of her life abroad whilst growing up. She also talks about how she overcame loneliness and hopelessness when she moved to France on her own after high school. 

In this episode, I have the passionate meditation teacher and entrepreneur Marijana May on the show. Marijana is from Croatia, and she became a big entrepreneur after having spent some time in Thailand where she studied meditation. She started her own blog in 2016, mainly focused on meditation and personal growth. These days, she teaches female entrepreneurs how to build their business online, while teaching and doing what they love.

In this episode, we discuss the benefits of meditation, the importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness and having compassion for oneself and others.

Tune in to the episode to hear what she means about humans being "walking habits"..
Marijana's got a very soothing and relaxing voice. :)
