Go With the Flow—Without Losing Control

In this episode of Thought Experiment Called Life, I explore what it means to be more like water—and the powerful benefits this mindset can bring.

Water can be a tremendous force, crashing through obstacles, yet it also knows when to flow effortlessly, carving its own unique path. Life requires both approaches. Sometimes, we need to push forward with strength, and other times, we must adapt and move with ease.

By embracing the wisdom of water, we can gain new perspectives on challenges, learning when to apply force and when to let go. A simple shift in mindset can create a profound impact on your life.

Tune in for a fresh perspective—one that might just change the way you navigate the world.

From my heart to yours,

Greta

About the Podcast

Thought Experiment Called Life

A podcast for multi-passionate creatives forging nontraditional life paths.

This is a podcast for multi-passionate creatives forging nontraditional life paths.
I’ve never neatly fit into any niche, neither do many people, and neither does this podcast. This is a space for the multi-passionate person—the individual who looks at the world with glittering eyes despite the challenges of a multifaceted life. It’s for those seeking inspiration from positive, unconventional lives and hoping to glean lessons to guide their own path. It’s for those who trust that the right message will find them at the right time, no matter how unrelated it may seem.
This is a space for the existential mind and the open heart—those who understand the power of sharing stories to remind others they’re not alone.

I’ve lived many lives in my time here on Earth, and this podcast dives into a plethora of topics, including (but not limited to):
- Living and thriving with Lyme disease (and autoimmune disease).
- Pursuing your purpose in a world that celebrates conformity.
- Staying mentally healthy as a neurodivergent person in an insane world.
- The power and beauty of plant medicine and nourishing nutrition.
- Why learning self-defense is the ultimate self-care (especially for women)
- The magic of jiu-jitsu: a roadmap to growth and success in every area of life.
- Building healthy relationships—romantic and platonic.
- And perhaps most exciting of all, hearing real stories from multi-passionate individuals living fulfilling, unconventional lives.

This space exists to bring you inspiration, tools, resources, and proof that the call in your heart is there for a reason. I’m excited to walk this path with you.

The wild heart in me bows to the wild heart in you.
