Magefølelsen podkast - autentisk historie fortelling om å gjøre drømmer til virkelighet

Be yourself, find your path

Magefølelsen Podkast and Youtube channel is all about being who you truly are.

Not who you pretend to be, but who you deep down, on the inside really and actually are.

I interview people who have been brave by choosing differently than what most people do, and what the outside world might expect of them.

People who do, even when no one else supports them or believes in them. Because they just know that this is the right way.

They cant necessarily explain why, they just know down to their bones that this is what they have to do.

THIS IS what I call "The Gutfeeling".

More correctly, this is actually our intuition.

It's one of the ways we can listen to our bodies when making decisions. Because our bodies know a lot of things our minds cannot explain or understand.

We share wisdom, stories, feelings, experiences, tools.

We talk about what life is really about and how to navigate life's ups and downs on our ways towards our dreams.

I talk about shameful topics and how to break free from whatever is holding us back from living out our full potentials.

I long for a braver world, where we all dare expressing ourselves and standing up for what we believe in.

This is business management meeting politics, entrepreneurship, sexuality, mental health, holistic health, equality, tantra, somatic work, spirituality, music, yoga, mindfulness, feelings, trauma healing, attachment theory, non violent communication, circling, radical honesty, Drama Triangle/ Empowerment Dynamics, Poly Vagal Theory, coaching, Internal Family Systems.

Why?

Because when I started the podcast in 2020 I was searching good role models for doing exactly this.

I didn't know it back then, but I had no idea who I was. I was a people pleaser who adapted to whatever would impress certain people in my life. Scared to shit by rejection, criticism, having different opinions and being excluded or disliked.

My own burnout and a couple of really emotional relationships (and breakups) made me realize that I tended to loose myself in work and relationships.

I needed alcohol and solo travels to places where noone knew me to relax, feel free, let loose and truly breathe.

Something had to change, so I started digging and I found stuff, man oh man!

4 years later I am full of wisdom. I have shared along my journey and I will continue to share my story and knowledge.

Because we need it. I see so many people lost in imbalance. Their thinking, feeling, saying and doing don't add up. Noone really kn0ws them. Not even themselves.

They suppress who they are. Most people do.

We have created a society that feeds on low self-esteem.

So many people with great ideas, minds and solutions who are never heard or seen.

Instead hidden away behind their screens, alcohol or whatever their chosen addiction is.

Because they

DON'T DARE TO

DON'T KNOW HOW TO

FEEL STUCK AND HELPLESS.

Loneliness. Depression. Anxiety. Stress. Burnout. Addictions. Lack of focus. Scattered minds. IBS. Eating disorders. Suicide. Fibromyalgia. ADHD. OCD. C-PTSD. ME....

On the podcast we talk about the way out of crappyness.

How we can open our eyes, take responsibility for our own shit and actually invest our time, money and resources into the efforts required to create the lives WE WANT TO LIVE.

Realizing there are no quick fixes, princes on white horses, or pills that will get you where you want.

Realizing that all hero's make huge efforts into becoming heros.

Some of my big heros are Brene Brown, Garbor Mate, Betty Martin.

I have recently changed into English as spoken language, the first 80 Episodes were however, with some exceptions, in Norwegian.

From starting a podcast till where I am today

I i

In 2020 I wanted to create community, which felt like to big of a task, so I landed on making a blog instead.

My name friend, Therese, asked me "why not make a podcast".

I had a list of reasons why.

My voice wasn't right,

I didn't want monologues

I didn't know the people I wanted to interview,

I had stagefright

and performance anxiety around authority figures,

and I didn't know anything about recording, interviewing, editing, publishing, marketing...

So many reasons why NOT.

She told me, ask them!

I wanted to. So, I committed myself to creating the podcast by saying that if at least one of the 30 people I asked said yes. 29 of them did.

This was in June. I spent the summer learning everything I needed to know about podcasting and in August 2020 I recorded my first podcast episode with Helene Ragnhild.

Still with a bit of microphone-phobia.

Since 2020 I have found myself community. I believe investing in a project like my podcast truly changed me and made me find people who truly encourage me into being brave, courageous, wild and expressive.

When I am writing this, I am in such a different place then when I started the podcast. My foundation is strong. I believe in myself.

I know that I can manage.

And I know that you and everyone else can as well.

I have let go of my need to save the world, to save people.

I am here to encourage, ask questions, challenge, call out bullshit, inspire, be honest, knock people out of victimhood (and heroing and perpetrating), and share knowledge; tools; wisdom and stories from my experiences from life, studies and work.

On my path I realized that noone needs saving, that's a story hero's keep telling themselves to feel valuable. I was one of them. I sacrificed my life to save others, when in reality all they needed was for me to help them EMPOWER themselves.

We all just freaking need to start believing in our own capabilities.

That's when the magic happens.

Not when someone else does stuff for us. That enables our helplessness and uselessness.

Everyone needs to learn by doing.

Let them figure things out themselves.

"Jeg tror at særlig unge kvinner lett får noen ideer om oppskriften på en karriere, og kanskje ikke ser at det kan være mange veier til målet, som kan se veldig forskjellig ut. Det er så lett å sammenlikne seg med andre! "

Who am I?

I am Therese Fallentin,

born in Stavanger, Norway in 1987.

I studied Business Administration at BI Trondheim and Master of Science in Management Science at Vrije University of Brussels. And specialized within sustainable decision-making.

I started my career in Brussels as a Business Analyst Intern at Levi Strauss and a Tax Management Consultant at Deloitte during and after my studies.

I lived 5 years in Germany and Belgium before moving to Oslo for a job as a Operations Manager at Clear Channel. In the years after I worked as a Process and Development Specialist at Scandic Hotels, Project Manager at Railway, Election Campaign Advisor for the Norwegian Green Party, and Head of Circular Shift and Sustainability at Move About.

I have later studied inner/ social sustainability, relational communication, somatic work, facilitation, coaching, mindfulness,

and facilitated various workshops and talks.

Now I do 1-1 coaching, workshop facilitation, presentations, talks and relational communications.

My passion is to help individuals, groups and corporations build a steady foundation, stand in their power and get to where they want to be

I create clarity,

show where accountability for own shit is needed,

show where self-sabotage is happening,

and show where and how to invest, prioritize and focus time, money and resources, and not.

I know you are capable.

I know it's possible.

I can get you there.

I am also honest.

I challenge.

I question.

I share my intuition.

and I do call bullshit.

I am here to think outside the box, be part of big conversations and help people speak the same language.

Often all that is needed is for us to see clearly and objectively what is in front of us.

Let's together create the future we want.

Hvorfor intervjuer jeg mennesker som har satset på bærekraft, mental helse, helse og likestilling?

Jeg mener bærekraft, mental helse, helse og likestilling alt handler om respekt for mennesker. For det som har vært, det som er og det som kommer.

Jeg ønsker å tilrettelegge for en fremtid hvor vi kan leve like fritt og behagelig som vi kan i dag. Hvor vi har en natur å nyte og dyreliv å se og lytte til. Hvor vi føler oss trygge og at vi har gjort alt vi kunne for å skape det samnfunnet og de forutseningene vi ønsker å leve under.

Bærekraft er noe jeg spesielt fant interesse for mens jeg skrev masteroppgave om strategisk beslutningstaking og hvordan å ta hensyn til de tre bunnlinjene (mennesker, miljø og økonomi). Jeg mener at bærekraftige avgjørelser oftest vil vinne økonomisk, så lenge man klarer å tenke langsiktig. Det skaper konkurransefortrinn omdømmemessig ved å være tidlig ute. Hvis man er litt kreativ, vil det ofte også lønne seg produksjonsmessig. Etter å ha sett hvordan klimaendringer er en realitet i sørøst asia klarer jeg ikke å se bort ifra alle endringene vi trenger i dag heller enn i morgen. Der var jungelen tom for insekter og dyr, fiskene forsvunnet, regntiden redusert, korallrevene bleket, samtidig som de opplever uvanlige stormer gang på gang. Heldigvis ser man også resirkuleringssystemer overalt og en engasjert lokalbefolkning som har begynt å forstå. Problemet er bare at de lever av turistnæringen og den ødelegger. Mange må velge mellom mat på bordet i dag og å ta vare på naturen. Det er ikke så rart å forstå at de velger å brødfø familien. I Norge er vi heldige og trenger ikke å velge mellom i dag og fremtiden, vi kan gjøre begge deler og litt til.

Mental helse og psykologi har jeg lest meg masse opp på, både når jeg har jobbet som leder, som prosessutvikler med fokus på menneskelige problemstillinger, og for min egen del. Det å forstå seg selv, forstå andre, og seg selv i relasjon til andre er virkelig nyttig for å forstå reaksjonsmønstre og kommunikasjonsformer. Det å ha åpenhet om mental helse og vanskeligheter tror jeg er spesielt viktig i en tid med stort sosialt press via skjermer. Jeg frykter også baksiden ved COVID-19 tiltakene. Vi har behov for en aktiv debatt og gode løsninger som både forebygger og behandler mentale lidelser. Hvorfor er det fremdeles et husj husj tema og vanskelig å få den hjelpen som trengs når så mange mennesker lever med mentale lidelser? Visste du at mental smerte trigger de samme områdene i hjernen som fysisk smerte og at smerten føles like intens?

Helse er noe jeg bryr meg om fordi jeg ser hvor mange som sliter med ulike sykdommer, mange forårsaket av livsstilen vi lever med i 2020. Jeg har selv fått gode råd som gjør at jeg i dag lever godt med IBS, og så lenge jeg tar et par hensyn kan jeg nå spise og leve så og si normalt. Det å få fokus på livsstilssykdommer og hvordan vi kan leve oss selv til et friskere liv er noe jeg virkelig håper kan øke livskvaliteten til mange. Helse og mental helse er noe jeg håper vi kommer til å se mer i sammenheng i fremtiden. Det at kroppen er en hel organisme og ikke enkelt organer som gjør sin egen greie. Og du, det å ha smerter er ikke noe du bare skal akseptere. Smerte og ubehag er kroppens måte å gi beskjed om at noe burde endres.
