#003 - Why the Path to Happiness Feels So Wrong

Hey, it’s Frederik. This conversation goes straight into the
“honest mirror.” If you’ve ever felt numb, over-rational, or stuck
in achievement mode while you know, that there has to be more out
there. THis one is for you! I’m joined by Carly Stephan, creator of
the Personal Light Grid Activation—a somatic way of reconnecting
your body’s “points of light” so you can feel grounded, clear, and
alive again. We talk about the long journey from head to heart, why
comfort and convenience keep us disconnected, emotions as signals
(not problems to fix), fear of rejection, and how to begin with
simple curiosity.  In this episode: • Head vs heart in Western
culture—and how to recalibrate • Numbness, micro-traumas, and why
embodiment matters • Heart coherence as a practical bridge between
physiology and emotion • Men, fear, and “Can I still love myself
after a ‘no’?” • A gentler way to start: follow childlike
curiosity, not another 10-step plan
