Convo No. 18

Convo No. 18 | Kyra is spending the pandemic in her canal house apartment in Amsterdam, looking for new job opportunities and perfecting her portfolio. We talk creativity, job hunt, finding your own path, knowing your insecurities and more. The world could do with more of her kind and wise words:

«Take a minute and think about it. Everyone has their insecurities and it’s fine to feel it, to experience it. To be aware of it is a strength. It’s from that point onwards that you can grow, so to recognise it is already a big thing. It’s just a switch button in your head.»

Hey Mag Recommends: PODCASTS

Are you a podcast listener? For those who know me I’m an avid one myself, and during this quarantine one of the things I’ve found the most calming is exactly that. Laying down, closing my eyes and just listening. A time to get the mind off whatever it needs a break from and onto something else…To share the love, here are 8 of the podcasts I’m listening to at the moment (in no particular order).

Convo No. 17 | Ludo is spending the pandemic together with her boyfriend, Greg, in the Lake District in the UK. Far away from everyone and everything. In between meal prep and tennis matches (in condfined spaces) with her boy, we talked about psychology, her love for sport, and her winning positive mindset. Give it a read and pick up a trick or two on how to keep your head and spirit high when things get difficult <3

Every word is used with meaning, consciously added to deepen the story told. As when reading a poem where each word plays a very clear role. That’s the feeling I’m left with coming out of my conversation with Ramzi from @ramzimallatstudio. Between our conversation starting and ending, a full year went by. Besides Hey Mag being on a break, a lot happened in that time. It has been interesting to revisit our old convo, together, and see new conversations taking place on top of it. We talked about his everyday life as an artist, his work, corona impact, and his hopes for the future.

I’ve talked yoga and self-discovery with the incredible @mtringstad🙌 She shares an incredible story of how she went from being incorrectly diagnosed with depression, to taking up the battle herself & never giving up hope on finding out what it was that never quite added up! In the midst of it all she re-discovered the power of yoga as a tool for self discovery 🧐 and development 🚀 More about that + some of her tips and tricks in the interview 💁🏻‍♀️ As if that’s not enough to digest, we also talk about life in a small town, the epidemic that loneliness has become, and the art of ‘finding’ inner peace ☯️ in the hectic everyday life many of us find ourselves in. 
This girl’s got so much to give & I can’t wait for the world to see what she’s got coming ✨

A while back @nicolekaandorp and I sat down for a chat (and a bite to eat) on the top floor of the beautiful @OBAamsterdam Oosterdok library. Before I knew Nicole I didn’t get why people ever bothered paying any attention to literature  as a subject. Why is it at all interesting, you ask. Well, we talk about several reasons why, as well as Nicole’s own writing, performances and t-shirt creations!
