In this special episode recorded in the mountains, we dive into the feeling of care and affection.

We explore the subtle yet profound difference between helping and truly caring—what does it mean to move with care?

Together, we reflect on how care enters our lives, how it shapes our connection with the present moment, and how, without it, we risk losing touch with ourselves.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of feeling at home—what does it really mean to feel at home? What values are associated with this sense of belonging? We explore how memories and preconceived notions can hinder our ability to fully experience this feeling. What stops us from truly feeling at home, even when we’re surrounded by the things and people we love? Tune in as we examine how perception and past experiences shape our understanding of "home.”

In this episode, we explore the meaning of insecurity and its direct connection to fear and desire. We examine how our attachment to ideals and expectations gives rise to insecurity, and how the very act of seeking security can, paradoxically, reinforce our sense of insecurity. We also distinguish between physical and psychological security, and delve into the antidote to the modern anxiety of constantly needing to be better.

In this episode, we dive into the roots of anxiety — what it truly is, how it arises, and why modern society often intensifies this feeling. Together, we explore not just the symptoms, but also deeper solutions: how to meet anxiety with awareness, courage, and compassion, rather than fear or avoidance. We also reflect on how the fast pace, constant comparisons, and endless expectations of today’s world can feed our inner unrest — and how real freedom begins when we step outside that cycle.

In this episode, we dive deep into the meaning of relationships, what they truly are beyond the labels and expectations. We explore the essence of connection, asking what the purest form of relationship looks like. Is it love without possession? Presence without control? We reflect on the root of conflicts in relationships and whether there’s a way out — a path towards more conscious, compassionate connection. Whether you’re in a relationship, healing from one, or simply curious, this episode invites you to pause and reflect on what it really means to relate to another human being.

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the antidote to conformity, this time diving into the power of learning. What does it truly mean to learn? Do memories have a place in learning? And how do memories and knowledge shape our understanding of reality?

As we navigate these questions, we also reflect on a deeper concern—the sanity and healthiness of our minds. Is it possible for me and Toms to uncover the root causes of the conflicts within us? Can understanding how we learn and remember help us break free from mental patterns that hold us back?

In this episode, we explore the nature of conformity—what drives us to follow the crowd? What is the root of our tendency to comply with peer pressure? We dive into the psychological and social forces that shape our decisions and discuss why we often surrender our individuality in favor of group acceptance.

Toms Henrijs Zeltiņš, a psychology graduate in Nice, dives into clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive ergonomics—basically, figuring out how brains and systems can get along better. With experience supporting individuals with disabilities, his research explores psychotrauma, autism neuropsychology, and therapeutic innovations. Currently waiting on master’s applications (and maybe a sign from the universe), he’s passionate about making cognitive accessibility less of a headache—literally.
