Special co-host for this episode: Joim from the OnBrand Podcast! It was fantastic to finally collaborate on something, even though it came together on short notice.Olga brings a unique perspective to our tech-focused conversations, exploring how wellness and mindset principles apply to the tech world. We discuss alignment intelligence and the importance of connecting more deeply with ourselves to understand how to use technology to truly advance our lives, not just distract from them.The conversation touches on meditation and mindfulness practices. Yes, there are apps and tech tools for meditation, but Olga emphasizes that you still need to be aligned with yourself for these tools to be effective. Technology can support the practice, but it can't replace the inner work.We also tackle a fascinating question: Is it wise to use AI chatbots as therapists or virtual companions? Olga's answer is nuanced. While AI can be incredibly useful for certain aspects of mental health support, it cannot replace the emotional depth, empathy, and human connection that a real therapist provides.Hosts:Jürgen Koeiman - Host Tekiamentu Joïm Coffi - Host OnBrand ProdcastProduction:Nova Studios Lees meer
