• #123 Are You Building a Life You Want… or One You Need to Escape From? | Michelle Coulson 26.05.2026 35mnt

  This conversation isn't about remote work or digital nomad visas. It's about a harder question: are you building a life you want to live, or one you're trying constantly to escape from?JOIN YANA FRY’S SIGNATURE MASTERCLASS ABOUT FEMININE LOVE ARCHETYPES → https://bit.ly/48tM76uMichelle Coulson liked her job, her colleagues, and her career in London recruitment. So why did her whole being scream "don't go back"? In this episode, she traces the path from internal screaming to founding Remote Rebellion—a journey that began not with a rational decision, but with a feeling. Along the way, she and Yana Fry dismantle three stubborn myths: that leaving corporate means working less, that burnout is caused by overwork, and that freedom is something you find by moving countries. The episode closes with one of Yana's most powerful monologues, a reframe of freedom itself as "the deepest form of responsibility."IN THIS EPISODE00:00 | Intro: Building Lives We Need to Escape01:13 |"It Wasn't a Decision.

• #122 Successful Men Are Not Emotionally Unavailable. They Are Lonely. | Nick Jonsson 13.05.2026 43mnt

  Most people blame men for being emotionally closed off. But what if the entire diagnosis is wrong? Nick Jonsson and Yana Fry dismantle a cultural assumption and what comes next changes the conversation completely.JOIN MY SIGNATURE MASTERCLASS ABOUT FEMININE LOVE ARCHETYPES → https://bit.ly/48tM76uNick Jonsson is globally recognised as the #1 thought leader on executive loneliness, a title he earned by living through the thing nobody talks about: 400 staff, 72 hospitals, every external marker of success, and a complete collapse into alcoholism, passive suicidality, and writing his will at rock bottom. This conversation traces the arc from that floor to a V-shaped recovery built on three unexpected tools: a psychosomatic foot crisis that forced him to speak for the first time in his life, 500 hours of Minecraft that rebuilt a broken father-son bond, and a 12-step amends process completed with 60 people stretching back 35 years.

  She was one of the first female tech founders in a male-dominated industry. Men at conferences assumed she was someone's assistant. And she didn't even feel outrage — because she hadn't yet developed the belief that she belonged there.*🌹 Return to Love: A 28-Day Moon-Aligned Journey for High-Achieving Women Into LOVE → https://bit.ly/4srQ1oo (next cohort starts on 17 April)*That was Krystal Clavier-Choo's own alignment gap: the space between who you truly are and who you are performing yourself to be. She spent years studying humanistic psychology and neuroscience to understand why high-achieving people — especially in Asia — end up so profoundly disconnected from themselves. The answer turned out to be structural: not a mindset problem, but a foundations problem.In this conversation with Yana https://www.instagram.com/yanafry/, Krystal unpacks her Psychological Foundations Model (Safety / Challenge / Play), explains why gratitude can actually harm the psychological wellbeing of many Asians (research-backed), decodes the Asian workplace dynamic of "masking down" — hiding your capability to fit in — and delivers a final directive to every leader listening: your unhealed psychology is bleeding into your organization right now.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 | What Is the Alignment Gap — and Why It Explains the Mask You Wear04:20 | The Three Psychological Foundations: Safety, Challenge, and Play11:21 | Why Skills Training Fails Under Pressure — and What to Fix Instead15:15 | Challenge vs. Obligation: How an Unintegrated Past Sends You the Wrong Way20:02 | The Achievement Trap: When Your Self-Worth Lives Inside Your Goals25:59 | Why Gratitude Might Be Making You Worse — and the Authentic Filter That Replaces It30:51 | "We're All Like Family" — How Asian Workplace Culture Erodes Identity35:53 | Quiet Quitting Is Self-Protection — What the 1987 Science Says Leaders Must Hear💫 ABOUT KRYSTAL CLAVIER-CHOOKrystal Clavier-Choo is an expert in humanistic psychology and neuroscience, and the creator of the Dimensional System—a precision framework for understanding how people think, decide, and lead.

  What if I told you I spent years mistaking adrenaline for love?I grew up believing love was drama. My parents got divorced when I was a child. And something inside me has mistaken love with instability. I began to look for intensity, danger, the emotionally unavailable man - the motorbike, the butterflies.If it felt overwhelming, I thought it must be real.Then I got married. Three months later, my late husband got diagnosed with cancer. Love became full time caregiving. Sacrifice. Staying longer. Needing less. For 7 long years. Until I slowly disappeared inside all of it.I didn’t know that love without boundaries turns into resentment.For years, I searched for love outside myself - in romance, in service, in being needed. Until one quiet day, something shifted.I realised that I am no longer broken. I am already home within myself.This episode is my reflection at 43 on what love is and what it isn’t.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 | The Love I Got Completely Wrong02:34 | The Pattern I Didn’t See04:16 | When Everything Quietly Shifted05:53 | A Feeling I Had Never Known Before06:33 | What Love Actually Feels Like09:04 | The Truth I Wish I Knew at 16💫 ABOUT YANA FRYYana Adamanta Fry is an internationally recognized speaker, transformational coach, and founder of Awaken Human and Timeless Teachings Academy - pioneering platforms at the intersection of conscious leadership, emotional intelligence, and soul-based success.

  What if I told you I’ve been celebrating Chinese New Year my whole life — without knowing it?I grew up in the Soviet Union. No dragons. No red envelopes. Just snow outside the window, bananas ripening slowly for New Year’s Eve, and one sacred night when the whole family gathered together.Every year, my mother would tell me which animal was coming next — the horse, the dragon, the pig. We chose colours carefully. We prepared food intentionally. We welcomed the “energy” of the year.Only later, after moving to Singapore, did I realise what we were actually celebrating — the Chinese zodiac, just starting on January 1st instead of the Lunar calendar.In a country where religion was banned, ritual still survived.This episode is my reflection on how traditions travel quietly across borders… and how sometimes, you don’t choose a tradition.Sometimes, it chooses you.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 | The Tradition You Didn’t Know You Followed01:34 | When Rituals Survive Despite People Trying to Erase Them03:58 | The Moment Your Identity Quietly Shifts04:33 | Why You’re More Superstitious Than You Think💫 ABOUT YANA FRYYana Adamanta Fry is an internationally recognized speaker, transformational coach, and founder of Awaken Human and Timeless Teachings Academy - pioneering platforms at the intersection of conscious leadership, emotional intelligence, and soul-based success.

  What happens when you choose a country over a boyfriend? In this episode, we sit with Marion Müller, who grew up in Switzerland with stability, structure, and a life that was already “figured out.” She moved to Singapore for love, expecting a two-year adventure — and instead found herself alone, unemployed, nearly out of savings, and forced to decide who she wanted to become when going back was still an option.We talk about choosing uncertainty when safety is within reach. About the grief of outgrowing home. About rejection — from 65 job applications, from people who don’t understand your choices, and from versions of yourself that no longer fit.This is a conversation about courage without desperation.

  What do you learn after listening deeply to 100 human stories?In this episode, I step out from behind the questions and reflect on what a hundred conversations on YanaTV have revealed — not about success or growth, but about what people really struggle with when the cameras are off.I share the patterns I’ve witnessed again and again: the hidden need for permission, the quiet cost of misalignment, the difference between loud confidence and settled self-trust, and why success so often amplifies what we haven’t healed.This is a conversation about burnout, boundaries, visibility, leadership, and the unseen contracts we carry — with our families, our work, and ourselves.If you’re drawn to honest reflections on identity, inner work, and the truths that only surface when we slow down and listen deeply, this episode may leave you sitting with yourself a little differently.IN THIS EPISODE(00:00) Intro(01:23) The permission you’ve been waiting for(03:17) Why real confidence feels quiet(04:56) When ambition is actually a coping mechanism(06:12) The real reason you’re exhausted(07:15) Why success doesn’t feel the way you expected(08:14) What people trust more than intelligence(08:58) The fear we don’t like to admit(09:37) The boundary that changes everything(10:15) Why advice rarely transforms anyone(10:52) What your life is teaching without words(11:31) The one question that stays with you💫 ABOUT YANA FRYYana Adamanta Fry is an internationally recognized speaker, transformational coach, and founder of Awaken Human and Timeless Teachings Academy - pioneering platforms at the intersection of conscious leadership, emotional intelligence, and soul-based success.

• #104 2030 Is Closer Than We Think — Are Singaporeans Ready? | Dion Jensen 07.01.2026 38mnt

  What skills Singaporeans must have to succeed in 2030? In this episode, we sit with a man who was born in Singapore, shaped by war, leadership, and loss — and who has spent a lifetime watching what pressure does to people when no one is looking.We talk about identity, loneliness, mental health, and the silent weight of leadership — the kind that doesn’t show up in resumes, but follows you home at night.This is a conversation about children growing up without anchors, leaders carrying responsibility in isolation, and a culture that values strength — even when it hurts to admit vulnerability.It’s about belonging without losing face.About success that feels empty.And about learning to make peace with the mirror.If you’ve ever felt surrounded by people yet deeply alone, this episode will stay with you.IN THIS EPISODE(00:00) A perspective Singapore rarely hears(01:02) Born here, yet never fully claimed(02:41) Why Singapore feels heavier lately(04:17) When the internet rewires identity(05:54) The quiet identity crisis among youth(11:25) Why mental health still risks losing face(15:41) What Singapore must prepare for next(17:08) Locals, foreigners, and unspoken resentment(20:24) Resilience is not what you think(20:58) Simple tools when everything feels overwhelming(22:06) The four cracks that break confidence(24:08) What Singapore’s soul is whispering(26:45) Why human connection is the real currency(28:00) Leadership when everything is falling apart(28:27) The moment he felt completely unprotected(33:47) The loneliness no leader admits(36:41) Why significance matters more than success💫 ABOUT DION JENSENDion Jensen is a Global Influencer who combined his Inspirational Speaking, Clinically Endorsed Content and Coaching Programs into Global Empowerment Academies for Warriors, Women, Youth and Businesses.
