About This Podcast
A grounded exploration of self-discovery, mindset, healing, and intentional living. Hosted by Greta Hotmer, musician, martial artist, herbalist, and lifelong creative, this podcast follows the real, nonlinear path of personal growth, resilience, and becoming who you’re meant to be.
Each episode blends honest conversation, personal storytelling, emotional wellness, nervous system care, and practical tools for embodied healing and self-trust. Topics include mental health, creativity, mindfulness, the mind-body connection, chronic illness, reinvention, and living with purpose in an overstimulated world.
Whether you’re navigating transformation, rebuilding your relationship with yourself, exploring new ways of thinking, or seeking deeper meaning, these conversations invite you to slow down, listen inward, and return to yourself again and again.
