The day after my birthday, I recorded this episode from a hospital bed in Utrecht after surgery for appendicitis.
What started as a simple update somehow turned into something much deeper:
a reflection on gratitude, creativity, confidence, laughter, healing, and what it means to truly feel alive.
In this episode, I talk about:
?? why “there is no place I’d rather be”
? the connection between creativity and healing
? my “YouTube for Speakers” confidence framework
? why laughter and playfulness matter more than we think
? the balance between math and magic
? and why creating something may actually change your life
Along the way:
there’s Dutch birthday flags, Italian retreats, hospital ice cream, Mel Robbins, improv comedy, YouTube fears, and one very important question:
Do you love you?
This one is raw.
Unfiltered.
Funny.
Grateful.
Unexpectedly emotional.
And above all:
full of love.
There is so much love.
This is the “favorite” song I’m referring to: [ https://youtu.be/OPWPa-HMpj8?si=wH95xAOD4hHpq8vr ]
