In this episode, my husband Kasper and I kick off our shared podcast! After lots of planning and requests, we decided to go live together for the first time, answering some of your questions. We cover a range of topics – from how to keep a sexy marriage alive while managing kids and two businesses, to deep dives on relationships and personal growth. We explore whether people are "meant to be" together, talk about the importance of aligning values, and share our thoughts on love, life purpose, and personal evolution.

Adrian Freedman is probably one of the most versatile and inspiring musicians I have ever met. Starting piano lessons at the age of 5 and violin lessons at the age of 7, he’s evolved to a unique multi-instrumentalist that has studied many cultures and their musical heritage, and is now travelling the world to share his own.

During our conversation, Adrian shares some of the wisdom he has gained from his life-long musical path, which has brought him to all corners of the world - from England to Tokyo, and on to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil.

Music has been the foundation of many of his most profound experiences and adventures - like moving to Japan to study with a Zen master, spontaneously being invited to play Shakuhachi for the Dalai Lama, stepping onto the path of plant medicine work, and receiving songs in a language that he did not even speak at the time. Listening to the way Adrian describes his passion for music as the catalyst for every major step taken in his life is simply inspiring.

Besides exploring the unique potential of different styles of music, we also take on a more philosophical perspective on how music moves and affects people, and as such can truly be seen as a medicine of its own kind.

Malou Dronkers is an artisan chocolate and cacao maker from Amsterdam. She’s the founder of the handrafted chocolate brand “Macaomovement” and the co-founder of Wild Child Cacao, a manufactory of 100% pure bean to bar cacao paste.

It's not easy finding anyone more passionate and knowledgeable about the art of chocolate making, and hearing Malou talk about beans, bars, roasting, flavour profiles and tempering usually gets people even more excited about the topic than they already are - sweet stuff, you're in for a treat!

In this episode, we unwrap (pun intended) the story of chocolate and cacao from the first to the last bite. How do you even become a chocolate maker in the first place? What's the difference between chocolate and cacao? (Why) does chocolate make us happy? What's so special about the cacao plant and how has its use evolved historically speaking? Why is cacao experiencing a renaissance in its ceremonial use? And how can we ensure ethical and sustainable consumption of the probably most emotional consumer product on the market?

So get yourself a hot cup of cacao, lean back and enjoy this delicious conversation - and whether you're a chocolate enthusiast or just curious about the journey of your favourite sweet treat, you'll likely learn a thing or two about the brown gold you so cherish.
