Dennis interviewed Juriaan, a Dutch man who is travelling around the globe by bicycle! You've heard right! By B-I-C-Y-C-L-E.

You probably know that Dutch people love to get from a to b by bicycle, but what makes a person want to do that around the entire planet?

This is exactly what we've asked Juriaan in this episode. He talks about his motivation behind doing this challenge, how it supports his own mental health and how he wants to make a difference for others too, by raising awareness and funds for Men's Mental Health.

Juriaan also talks about his own mental health struggles back at home in the Netherlands, before starting his adventure and mental health barriers he's encountered whilst on his bicycle.

Travelling through different places and regions, Juriaan also talks to locals he meets about mental health and shares some of the most inspiring stories he's heard so far.

You don't wanna sit this one out!

Feeling Tense? It Might Be the People Around You.

Have you ever noticed tension in your body that seems to linger for days, weeks, or even months?

We interviewed our yoga teacher about her philosophy, the PSOAS muscle and how it stores emotions that want to be released and how we can learn this.

Priscilla talks to us about the light and shadow, the yin and yang, why she loves working with men and what a healthy man is to her.

We discover why it’s so important to restore the balance and create a safe space for all genders to support connection with self and others.

We also dive into men and women healing by themselves vs. healing together and how healing could improve all of our relationships.
