Author: Hearts Wide Open October 24, 2023 Duration: 40:39

Join us on our 10th episode!

What a milestone and what an opportunity to talk about the holiday that Dennis and Soroosh went on most recently.

They said it themselves:

  • Let's go on an active holiday
  • Let's limit social media and phone usage
  • Let's connect with each other, but also connect with strangers like you would on a solo trip

Dennis and Soroosh are unpacking all this and much more in this very special episode!

They discuss the challenges they faced, the learnings they brought back home and share their biggest highlights and some beautiful moments that emerged from having goals for this holiday.

This episode is a strong recommendation for anyone who wants to go on a holiday in the future and especially, if you're thinking about surfing. Understand how surfer mentality can teach us a profound lesson about living in the present moment.

Tune in for a lively conversation that reminds us of the beauty of connection, spontaneity, and the power of the present. 🏄‍♂️🌴🌟


The Movember Campaign we mention on the Episode has ended, but you can check out our progress on our Movember page! With the support of our listeners, we were able to exceed our goal of raising 250 EUR for men's mental health! We also hosted a men's circle and ran 100km throughout November to raise awareness for men's health.

Two friends started talking honestly about the weight they were carrying, and that simple, difficult act became Mental Health And Men's Health With Hearts Wide Open. This podcast is built on the idea that speaking your truth, especially about internal struggles, shouldn't be a radical act for men, yet it often is. Each episode moves beyond the stigmas to foster genuine conversation. You’ll hear from the hosts of Hearts Wide Open as they navigate their own journeys, creating a relatable and safe space that feels more like a candid talk with friends than a formal lecture. That atmosphere extends to their guests, which include both everyday men sharing personal stories and experts from psychology and spirituality who provide practical insights. The discussions are raw and real, covering the silent pressures, the unspoken rules of masculinity, and the quiet victories of personal growth. Tuning into this podcast means joining a community where vulnerability is reframed as a profound strength, and where listening feels like a step toward lifting a shared burden. It’s for anyone tired of pretending everything is fine and curious about the liberation that comes with hearts, indeed, wide open.
