Welcome to the Happiness Safari Podcast! I'm Nadine, and my mission is to guide individuals on their journey of self-discovery through yoga and coaching. I teach online and in person and run unique yoga retreats worldwide.

On today's Podcast episode, I talk to Patrycja; she started on a journey of self-healing, facing financial struggles, dissatisfaction with her job, lack of self-confidence and no meaningful relationships. She turned to books, documentaries and people for guidance, using techniques such as Ho'oponopono, Theta Healing, affirmations, meditations, manifesting and self-hypnosis. Along the way, she found her own unshakable belief, love and trust in a Higher Power.

She discovered that many of her clients were also looking for answers, and she realized she could help them. She shares her knowledge about Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), a type of therapy that combines elements of hypnotherapy, neuroscience, and cognitive-behavioural therapy.

It is designed to help individuals overcome various issues, including anxiety, depression, and addiction. RTT is typically administered by trained therapists and focuses on assisting individuals in identifying and changing the underlying beliefs and patterns of behaviour contributing to their problems.

From this episode, you will learn.

✨why your life has something to do with yourself

✨how you can identify the blocks stopping you from being happy

✨how Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) can change your unconscious behaviours and believes

✨how you can learn a language in your sleep

Welcome to the Happiness Safari Podcast! 

My name is Nadine, and I'm here to help you find your way back to yourself, heal, love yourself, and believe in your own abilities so you can live your life to the fullest.

In this episode I share my workshop form Sunday. As it was live and people we’re attending and sharing I had to cut some parts out.

We'll start with a short breathing exercise and some reflective questions. After that, I'll guide you through an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping session to release any negative emotions you may still be holding onto from this year.

Next, we'll explore some questions to help you design your new year. I recommend finding a quiet place to sit with a journal and pause the episode as needed to reflect on and answer the questions.

To wrap up, we'll finish with a visualization meditation. Make sure you have some time set aside to fully engage in this episode and make the most of the exercises.

Please let me know what you take away for yourself?

I look forward to your insights and thoughts on the episode. Feel free to comment on Instagram @nadineanneyoga.

From the bottom of my heart, I would love for you to share this episode with as many people as possible to help me make the world a happier place.

Today on the podcast, I interviewed Deborah, not just a dear friend of mine, but Deborah also changed my life.

Deborah Small, a naturalized Canadian citizen, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, embarked on a personal journey over twenty years ago: a journey to discover who she was and find her unseen, true purpose.

This journey to true self-empowerment was rooted through the healing of others, spanning five continents (and counting!). Deborah's journey began with learning yoga. Eventually, she went from learning to teaching, having acquired over twenty years of practice experience in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Her endeavour of growth and wellness has only continued to flourish from there, with the spirit of assisting others throughout her journey being most prevalent in her actions and pursuits. Today, that journey has brought Deborah to where she currently is:

An internationally acknowledged author and a renowned expert practitioner within the field of holistic healing.

Deborah holds qualifications as; Integrative Reprogramming Technique ['IRT'] facilitator, Yoga Instructor, Nutritionist, and instructor of advanced breathing techniques for self-healing. She is also a practised and experienced guide & facilitator in programs, workshops, and retreats. Deborah also holds a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia.

Deborah and I will talk about how she changed my life; we speak about Yoga, Family constellations, and so much more.

I am so happy to announce that Deborah and I will host a yoga retreat together in Bali.

Today's episode is probably the most touching interview I have had so far.

Rachel and I went to school together when her name was Anna-Lena Wilke.

Now she is a children's book author known as Rachel Wolke and lives with her husband and three kids in LA.

She developed her love and passion for writing at a very young age but made it an essential part of her life after losing her father, Rainer Wilke. The sports journalist passed away in 2005, which left young Rachel in deep shock.

At this point, writing became a healing process and helped her to overcome this difficult phase. It was during this period that she brought Claus Cloud to life. The German translation of the character is "Willi Wolke", which was the exact pseudonym that her dad had often used for his writings.

You might think losing one parent is hard enough, but unfortunately, the universe tested Rachel one more time.

While she was three months pregnant with her second child, she lost her mom in March 2018 to suicide.

Rachel didn't want to let her experience and the Trauma she had to go through define her. She dug deep to understand depression and suicide.

To heal, she started to volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline. Since she couldn't help her mother, she is hoping at least to help other people in distress.

Until today Rachel hopes that by sharing her story and how she could find happiness again, She'll help others to find the light in very dark times.

Rachel shares her story in a very open and venerable way - how she found happiness after her dad passed away and how she coped after her mom took her life.

We also speak about mental health and depression and the importance of a support system!

From today's episode, you will learn.

✨how to be happy despite the things around you

✨how to listen to yourself

✨how to decide that our want to life

✨how to overcome your biggest fear

✨how to know if you are suffering from depression

✨how to have balance in life

✨how to be gentle and kind to yourself

I don't want you to feel alone! When you listen to this, I want you to sit on the couch, having the feeling you are having a conversation with an old friend. And I hope that all the strength Rachel has is giving you some strength too.

Welcome to the happiness safari podcast—your podcast for a happier and more meaningful life. My name is Nadine, and I am so happy you are here.

Today on the podcast, I speak to Wole from the UK.

I met Wole in London in 2018 when we both worked for the same Yoga studio.

Wole is a yoga teacher and a business improvement manager in the IT & Telecommunications sector.

He had a battle with stress and depression and "two divorces", one personal divorce and one corporate divorce at the same time. Leaving the corporate sector led him to a career change and his journey into the wellbeing and yoga space.

He derives a great deal of happiness from engaging with people and sharing some of the positive things, which has led him to a happy place both emotionally and spiritually.

Most of all, raising his three beautiful, graduate daughters as a single father is right up there in terms of achievements and things that make him happy and proud.

Wole and I speak about the transition from the corporate world and leaving the security of a guaranteed income into a self-employed life in the leisure industry.

We also talk about the challenges which come with that and how to overcome them.

The freedom of not owing anybody anything and detachment and why the obstacles we encounter are here to help us.

✨how to pursue your dreams

✨why it is important what we are consuming

✨why we sometimes need to destroy something to create something better

✨how to define your success for yourself

Today, on the podcast, I speak to Kora from Croatia. We never met, but we realised that we had so much in common during the interview, from our toughest challenges to our favourite book. Kora and I share the same story; we both suffered a long period in our life until we started our healing journey.

Kora is a human with a big curiosity to truly get to know and understand herself as much as possible in a lifetime.

After a decade of being completely unaware of her behaviour and living a life full of suffering, drama, struggles, and many feelings she couldn't and didn't know how to let go of, she decided that her life could not be like this anymore. She became aware she must do something about it.

For the last three years, she learned so much about herself, her relationships with her parents, sister, friends, colleagues, partners, and about the most important relationship in life, with herself.

The beginning was so hard, confusing and she felt like she would never ever be and feel better, as the healing journey is very unpredictable, confusing, intense, overwhelming, but the most rewarding and the most beautiful one as it is leading you to self-acceptance, self-care, authenticity, and self-love.

She is passionate about helping others on the journey, sharing light and setting an example, and sharing her experience, so everyone can be inspired or encouraged to set them-self on a true life journey.

At this point in her life, she is the most aware, joyful, open-hearted that she has ever been in her life, and she is very excited to see what she can create with this level of awareness, self-love, and responsibility she is having towards herself and the life she is creating.

In today's episode, we speak about how you can get out of a challenging and sad period in your life.

We also speak about Yoga, breathwork, Chigong, Meridien Therapy and all the things she tried on her healing journey.

From this episode, you will learn:

✨why it is important to speak about your emotions and ask for help

✨why it's important to be aware of your needs

✨why do we sometimes need to go through emotional difficulties to come out on the other side

✨how all the answers are inside of us

✨how to set boundaries
