  It's Not ADHD. It's Your Nervous System. (And You Can Fix It)

  Aug 19, 20261h 47m

  Diagnosed with OCD at two. Told she'd be on medication for life. Twelve years in therapy with no transformation. Tiffany Taylor is a brain rewiring and peak performance coach, and her argument is that most of what we now call ADHD is a dysregulated nervous system wearing a different name. In this conversation she breaks down the difference, why trauma is the hidden engine behind most high performance, and why your trauma only surfaces once you finally feel safe. We also get into sleep quality vs sleep hours, why bloodwork every six months matters even when you feel fine, hormone disruptors in perfume and polyester, the real difference between therapy and coaching, and the three habits she'd give anyone starting today.

  Изгубих се в Германия, преродих се в Париж, намерих се в Бали | Луиза Самарова

  Aug 7, 20261h 53m

  След 7 години в Германия загубих себе си. Преродих се в Париж и се преоткрих в Бали - за мечтите и живота като номад без филтър.В този епизод на Българи в Бали разменяме местата: гостът съм аз, Луиза, а водещ е моята приятелка Савина Николова.Разказвам цялата история, без филтър. Момичето от Разлог, което мълчеше в час, защото не искаше да сгреши немския. Отличничката на випуска, която единствена не влезе в университет. Сервитьорката, която я изпратиха вкъщи след четири часа от дванайсетчасова смяна и която две години по-късно беше най-добрият стажант в централата на Бош.Говорим за 0,5 точките, които ме разделиха от магистратурата. За шефа, който ме попита „теб кой ще те вземе" три седмици преди да намеря нова работа. За гостa в ресторанта, който ми даде визитка и без да иска промени живота ми. За решението да напусна Европа с багаж в колата и без адрес. За първия ден в Бали, когато си повтарях „Луиза, ти какво направи".И за това как се стига от корпоративна мечта до пълна римоут независимост — без бързи схеми и без овърнайт успех.Ако си на прага на голямо решение или се чудиш дали животът извън стандартния сценарий е възможен, този епизод е за теб.Моята фраза, която винаги ще ме чуеш да казвам: няма начин да няма начин.ЗА КОГО Е ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД- Ако мислиш да напуснеш България или вече си го направил- Ако си в работа, която те изцежда, и не знаеш какъв е следващият ход- Ако искаш да преминеш от заплата към фрийланс или собствен бизнес- Ако си получил отказ, който все още те боли- Ако се чудиш какъв е животът в Бали отвъд снимките в ИнстаграмСвъжи се с нас:▶ Последвай ме в Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luiza.remotefreedom/▶ Последвай подкаста: https://www.instagram.com/notjusthisplusone/▶ Последвай Савина: https://www.instagram.com/officialsavina/ ▶ Авторски гайд От служител до римоут предприемач: Tочните стъпки: https://stan.store/LuizaSamarova/p/from-employee-to-remote-solopreneuer Ако този епизод те докосна, остави коментар.

  How to Go From 9–5 to Remote Business in 2026 (5-Step Framework)

  Jul 30, 20261h 3m

  How do you actually leave a 9–5 and build a remote business without quitting first, without savings running out and without a "digital" background? In this episode I sit down with Christa, host of the Digital Nomad Life podcast, in a studio in Bali. She went from corporate marketing in New York to running her own business from a tropical island. I went from seven years of building a career in Germany to a remote marketing consultancy I've run from all over the world for six years. We built our methods separately, in different markets, in different languages and both of us landed on the same five steps. That's the whole reason we recorded this. It's not one woman's opinion. It's two. The 5-step framework to transition from 9–5 to remote income: - Get laser clear on your skillset: the skill set and the heart set, including everything you dismiss as "not a real skill" - Turn your employer into your client: how to seed the conversation months in advance so it never feels like an ultimatum - Activate your entire network: the lunch conversation that became my second client - Stabilize your finances before you leave: your minimum survival number, a 15–20% monthly buffer, and why building from scarcity kills your offer - Get on the platforms: Upwork, LinkedIn, local freelance groups, Facebook. Unglamorous and it works. Get my 5-step guide: https://stan.store/LuizaSamarova/p/from-employee-to-remote-solopreneuer-exact-steps We also get into: - Why nobody believed I was funding my own life - The mentee in retail with zero digital experience and what we actually did first - Saying yes to work you don't know how to do yet (I'd written zero email campaigns when I sold email marketing) - Why saturation is a limiting belief, and why nobody can take your origin story - The scarcity loop vs. the abundance loop - What actually holds high performers back and why the people discouraging you usually love you - Choose your hard: monotony is expensive too Timestamps: 00:00 – Why we recorded this episode 02:00 – What Luiza actually does: B2B marketing, six years remote 05:00 – "Everyone assumed someone else was paying for it" 08:00 – The client who signed up after watching for 15 years 10:30 – The 5-step framework begins 11:00 – Step 1: Get clear on your skillset (heart set + skill set) 12:30 – Why retail is a serious skillset 16:30 – Step 2: Turn your employer into your client 18:00 – How to have the scariest conversation of your career 21:00 – What to do when they say no 22:00 – Seeding: preparing your manager months in advance 24:00 – What really holds successful people back 27:00 – Telling your parents you're not going back 29:00 – Step 3: Activate your entire network 31:00 – The lunch that became a client 32:00 – Embodiment: saying "I do this" before you feel it 35:00 – Say yes, figure out the how later 40:00 – Step 4: Stabilize your finances before you quit 43:00 – Your minimum number and your buffer 46:00 – The scarcity loop vs. the abundance loop 50:00 – Saturation is a limiting belief 52:00 – Nobody can take your origin story 54:00 – Step 5: Get on the platforms 57:00 – Choose your hard 1:00:00 – Can you imagine the same day for 20 years? 1:03:00 – Where to find us Connect with us: Luiza: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luiza-samarova/ & https://www.instagram.com/samarova_/ Christa: https://www.instagram.com/christabellatravels/ Christa’s story on Not Just His Plus One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byBBKb7hr4Q Christa’s Digital Nomad Life podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6cq2iaGUmfcNRVIGAGXtEb Recorded in Bali.

  От Ашрам в Индия до Ергенът: Виктория Илиева за йогата, соло пътуванията и Бали

  Jul 16, 20261h 23m

  Как Вики стига от ашрам в подножието на Хималаите до телевизионния екран на Ергенът, а после до живот между Бали и целия свят? В този епизод на „Българи в Бали" Виктория Илиева споделя откровено целия си път — от стюардеса в Emirates и живота в Дубай, през ковид и мини-депресията, която я пречупва, до Индия, йогата и звуковата терапия, които преобръщат живота ѝ. Говорим за смелостта да пътуваш сама като жена и обидните въпроси „кой те спонсорира" и „кой е зад камерата". За културния шок в Индия и Бангладеш. За ашрама, който се оказва строеж. И за най-важния урок: никога няма да си готов на 100%, просто скачаш. Във втората част навлизаме дълбоко в темата Ергенът: защо Виктория си тръгва, без да намери любовта, защо не е могла да се гледа на екрана, какво мисли за настоящия сезон, и голямото сравнение между Ергенът, Love is Blind и Traitors. Плюс: за първи път тя обявява своя ретрийт в Бали през септември. Ако някога си се чудил/а дали да кажеш „да" на нещо голямо и страшно... този разговор е за теб. 00:00 – Начало и защо Бали е различен 04:00 – „Кой те спонсорира?" — истината за соло пътуванията като жена 09:00 – От проджект мениджър до стюардеса в Emirates и живота в Дубай 14:00 – Ковид, локдаун и мини-депресията, която променя всичко15:00 – Индия: Варанаси, реката Ганг и културният шок 19:00 – Решението да остане сама в Индия 25:00 – Випасана, дихателни практики и силата на медитацията 32:00 – Как решава да участва в Ергенът, в 2 сутринта 36:00 – Животът след Ергенът и как преодолява срама 39:00 – „Просто скачаш": за смелостта да казваш „да" 43:00 – Звуковата терапия и йогата в България днес 50:00 – Магията на Бали: защо се връща отново и отново 56:00 – Ретрийтът в Бали през септември 58:00 – Любовта след Ергенът: защо си тръгва и какво търси 1:03:00 – Честно за Ергенът: срамът, монтажът, „не бях 100% себе си" 1:04:00 – Настоящият сезон, 4-те ергени и влизането на Мартина и Любомира 1:12:00 – Ергенът vs. Love is Blind vs. Traitors 1:21:00 – Може ли да намериш любов в риалити? ▶ Последвай ме в Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luiza.remotefreedom/ ▶ Последвай подкаста: https://www.instagram.com/notjusthisplusone/ ▶ Последвай Вики: https://www.instagram.com/victoria.ilv/🎧 За подкаста„Българи в Бали" — разговори с българи, които избраха различен път и живот далеч от дома.
