Diskriminácia Rómov na Slovensku? Lucia Kleštincová a Mikuláš Lakatoš z Volt Slovensko
Episode 70
Friday, May 31, 2024 • Duration 16:07
➡️Diskriminácia prešla v posledných rokoch výraznou zmenou. Stala sa tak sofistikovanou, že sa skryla za svoje nepriame prejavy.
➡️Dostávajú Rómovia rovnakú zdravotnú starostlivosť ako ostatní a majú k nej aj rovnaký prístup?💜
➡️V akom štádiu je na Slovensku inklúzia nielen rómskej menšiny a sme na to vôbec pripravení❓ 🇪🇺O tom, prečo je dôležité mať v demokratickom štáte politických zástupcov priamo z minorít, diskutovala líderka strany Volt Slovensko do volieb do Európskeho parlamentu Lucia Kleštincová s kandidátom strany Volt Slovensko č. 4 Mikuláš Lakatoš, ktorý svoju kariéru začal ako zdravotnícky pracovník a v strane Volt Slovensko sa venuje práve menšinám a otázkam zdravotníctva
Vymierame. Koľko detí splodiť? Fertilita vs. migrácia? | Lucia Kleštincová & Denisa Priadková | Volt
Episode 69
Friday, May 24, 2024 • Duration 21:06
Vymierame
Tretí rok po sebe je počet narodených detí nižší ako úmrtnosť. Klesajúca pôrodnosť a starnúca populácia rapídne ovplyvní aj počet obyvateľov Slovenska.
Pomôže tomu migrácia? V čom je príčina populačnej implózie a aké sú jej riešenia?
Demografická kríza sa netýka iba Slovenska. Ekonomické postavenie žien, stúpajúci vek prvorodičiek a počet singles často prevyšujúci počet rodín s deťmi, sú prirodzenou zmenou vo vývoji rozvinutých krajín.
Vieme mať svoju plodnosť pod kontrolou? Aké sú jej zdravotné úskalia? Čo na ňu negatívne vplýva bez toho, aby sme o tom vôbec vedeli?
Lucia Kleštincová , vedúca kandidátka Volt Slovensko do eurovolieb vás pozýva vypočuť si nový diel nášho podcastu: Dnes s kandidátkou č. 5, Denisou Priadkovou, aktivistkou v oblasti reprodukčného zdravia, zakladateľkou in-fertility a projektu FerTeen (MEDZI NAMI).

Sick & tired of endless pressure to find your purpose? | Rose Bloomfield for Lights on Europe (2/3)
Episode 59
Wednesday, March 17, 2021 • Duration 26:06
What if the pursuit of your purpose gives you more stress than joy? Have you had enough of constantly fighting the system if you try to bring a new style of leadership? Can and should Europeans embrace the American culture of failing fast?
In the first part of my conversation with Rose Bloomfield, she shared about her own journey of discovering her purpose, filled with heart and soul-breaking love relationships, reality shows, dropping out of school and entire career identity. You will see how it translated into her podcast on the intersection of community, technology and ancient wisdom. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI89D...
In this second part, we dig deeper into the mystery of pursuing one’s purpose without a risk of burnout: - How to avoid the overwhelm on the path of discovering one’s purpose? - What is the best language for this conversation so that individual empowerment can serve as a tool for transformation of large organisations? - As a leader, pioneer, hero bringing a new culture of leadership - how do you know whether it is time to leave or continue pushing through? - What is missing when Europeans try to adopt the American attitude towards failure? Very soon we will release the third part!
Rose shares her experience of coaching TED speakers and whether world’s business leaders should be sharing more openly about their failure. So don’t forget to subscribe to follow this channel not to miss the next episode! ... and don't forget to:

Episode 58
Wednesday, March 10, 2021 • Duration 23:01
If Hollywood messes with your identity, if you think the world is your oyster and then crash in desperation… What is the trick to get connected to your inner truth and be brave to start discovering yourself again?
This is the first part of a beautiful conversation with Rose Bloomfield about the path of discovering and living one’s purpose, the challenging pressures that often accompany these conversations and how to stay playful along the way.

- Her own experience of discovering one’s life’s calling
- When you feel like your life is one giant failure, how can you reconnect with the inner truth of knowing what is really your own dream?
- As in every hero’s journey, when you hear the call to step into the unknown… how do you take the courageous decision to stay or to go?
- Is there a path towards discovering one’s purpose, or is the purpose all about staying brave on the path?
This is a three-part conversation so don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL.

How to react to miscarriage | Sofia Beloka for Lights on Europe (3/3)
Episode 57
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 • Duration 27:26
If you had a miscarriage and felt like it was your fault… If you are her partner and feel overlooked…. If you are their friend and don’t know how to react… If you are passionate about personal development and performance hacking and wonder how could anybody think of an incomplete pregnancy as an opportunity for growth…
Watch this last part of the Shameless series and the beautiful sharing of Sofia about her experience of miscarriage and healing that followed. How come the notion of failure is even part of this conversation if during pregnancy so little is within the parents’ control? Why did Sofia decide to share more on social media not just about the news, but also about the awkward reactions received from her network?
This episode unravels valuable advice about how to react and be supportive in such situations:
techniques to heal after a miscarriage without a trauma and victimising;
special insights into the process that the woman’s partner goes through; and if there’s a difference in the femine and masculine way of recovering after an incomplete miscarriage;
how it is related to hacking performance, personal growth and embracing vulnerability in life’s most challenging circumstances.

Being feminine and a top performer? | Sofia Beloka for Lights on Europe (2/3)
Episode 56
Thursday, February 18, 2021 • Duration 28:09
“To experience success and overcome failure we need to play the masculine game but also enable the feminine game to support our leadership. Nothing is right or wrong. Both feminine and masculine styles of leadership coexist, like in a couple relationship.” In the second part of the Shameless series we unravel the secrets for boosting our everyday performance as business and community leaders. We reflect on the notion of success and failure in contexts that are way more complicated and not entirely linear as the world of sports, which we explored in part 1 of this series. Sofia gives us her insights in transforming fear into strength; tips on how to achieve AND maintain top performance; and how to make our goals come true, building on the bulletproof strategies applied by top athletes she supports for Olympic games.
You will find out how to:
Implement elite athletes’ strategies in our everyday lives;
Fuel our sense of service without a risk of burning out;
Master the gentle dance between masculine and feminine energy: by switching from being a CEO to a sexy goddess in a heartbeat. Especially in times of lockdown!
