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.

Life moves in cycles and this episode is testament to that. Dennis has been through a transformational experience at the start of the month, which realigned him to his purpose and values, brought him back on track in terms of the direction he was taking in life and left him with clarity of what his north star is.

Dennis takes you on a journey throughout this experience: What happened to him at the start, how he was all of the sudden able to deal with topics he'd felt stuck with and how this enabled him to tackle all of life's challenges.

This episode is for everyone, sprinkled with learnings and wisdom from Dennis that you can apply directly into your life too!

Some of the things Dennis talks about are:

• Purpose, Personal Values & Direction
• Dealing with things blocking your life
• His recent retreat experience
• How to let go of things, feel them in your body to then ultimately let them go, learn to cope with them and find your own truth
• Relationship with friends & family
• How he got new energy and inspiration to take his marketing business and Hearts Wide Open to the next level
• Daily ritual & routine, setting intentions
• The Movember ambassadors gathering

In this episode, we talk about attachment theory. Attachment theory talks about how we attach in romantic relationships with a partner and how it relates to the love and care we receive as a baby or child.

Our guest is Rita Bliven. Rita has a lot of experience in the field of attachment theory and opens up about her own personal story on attachment which starts with a child kidnapping. She also coaches Dennis and Soroosh on their past love relationships and how attachment styles played a role there. You don't want to miss this one!

Rita has written a book about her life story which has led her to become an expert in the field of attachment theory and attachment styles. Check out her upcoming book ⁠here⁠.

There are 4 different types of attachment styles:

1. Anxious attachment
2. Avoidant attachment
3. Disorganised attachment
4. Secure attachment

Learn how you can start to recognise different attachment styles in yourself and your partner and discover what this can mean for your relationship and how you can cope better with attachment?

Furthermore, we dive deep into the patterns and mindset traps that hold us back, exploring practical strategies to break free and start thriving. Tune in to learn how to stop standing in your own way and how you too can unlock your true potential.

Lenny shares about his decision to quit Instagram and delete the app on this episode of the Hearts Wide Open Podcast. He deleted Instagram over 2 years ago and talks about the process and impact it has on him today.

We also discuss other social media platforms like Twitter / X and how they have changed. We all choose what type of content we consume and in the end it is important to be conscious about where we spend our time.

In this episode Lenny even offers to take us through a short meditation that has helped him create focus and stress relief. Do this and quickly create focus for yourself.

Ever wondered why it seems so hard to have an authentic conversation #realtalk with one of your friends, a family member or maybe even a stranger you've just met? Then this episode is for you!

In this episode we not only discuss why it can seem so hard to finally see and really talk each other through the thick surface of small talk, people pleasing, playing a role and so on, but ALSO how we can foster more of these spaces and what we can do to be more authentic in our environment and with the people we interact with.

Not every talk needs to be deep talk or real talk, but it can be a powerful tool to discover and learn the ability to jump into these conversations, as we believe they help us establish real connections with one another.

In this episode, Sooroosh and Alican delve into the reality that everyone faces low moments in life, times when the weight of challenges can feel overwhelming.

It's crucial to recognize that these experiences are part of the human condition and do not reflect personal failure or weakness. Seeking help is a courageous step, not a sign of inadequacy. Whether it’s talking to a friend, consulting a therapist, or finding solace in a support group, asking for assistance is a proactive way to manage and overcome these difficult times. If you find yourself in a dangerous or unhealthy environment, remember that prioritizing your safety is essential.

Sometimes, the most empowering decision is to physically leave a harmful situation even from your childhood home to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Tune in as we explore practical strategies for navigating these tough times and highlight stories of resilience and recovery.
