What happens when the moment you want to share most — goes unseen?
When your joy meets silence? When your pride is followed by pain?

In this quietly powerful episode, Miroslava shares a deeply personal threshold moment: flying with her son as the pilot of a glider… and later being met with emotional distance by someone who couldn't hold the joy with her.

This isn’t just a story about parenting.
It’s a reflection on trust, legacy, and the nervous system capacity it takes to let go of control — and stay open in the unknown.

It’s about what it means to lead without applause.
To celebrate without being mirrored.
To choose truth over performance — even when no one claps.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
• What happened when Miroslava let her son carry her — literally
• The subtle grief of not being witnessed in joy
• Why true leadership includes walking forward without needing to be seen
• The art of not fixing — and letting the next right thing come to you
• A quiet reminder: trust is not naive — it’s a deep, regulated state

Episode Summary:

In this intimate spoken reflection, I share what I’ve decided to leave behind — not in my home, but in my field.

Inspired by the Swedish concept of döstädning, or “death cleaning,” this episode explores what it means to live light, to unburden yourself from what no longer needs to be passed on, and to define legacy not by what you own, but by how you show up.

This isn’t a story about minimalism.
It’s a story about peace.
About shame I’ve released, roles I’ve shed, and the deeper clarity rising in their place.

In This Episode, I Explore:

• Why I don’t own much — and why that feels like freedom
• The pressure I’ve carried around money, safety, and success
• What I don’t want to pass on to my children
• The kind of legacy I’m choosing to leave — one of presence, not performance
• How this clearing is making space for what’s next: my book, my work, and my voice

Invitation:

If you’re in a season of sacred transition, I invite you to let go of something this week —

“You don’t build culture for a generation. You build it for a moment.”

We’re surrounded by conversations about generational culture.
Boomers. Millennials. Gen Z.
How to understand them. How to lead them. How to keep them.

And while some patterns may be true,
the deeper truth is often missed.

In this episode, Mirka shares the moment that changed everything for her — a job interview at Porsche Consulting where she was given a complex business case, told she had an hour to prepare… and solved it in five minutes.

But the real story isn’t about speed.
It’s about what happens when we stop segmenting people by label — and start feeling them as frequency.

She walks us through:

• Why generational labels often distract us from presence
• What she felt reading a widely shared generational culture post — and what her nervous system revealed beneath it
• What culture really means in the moment: not roles, but regulation
• Why the deepest change happens not through decoding — but through coherence
• What it looks like to lead teams as a living band, not a design system

This is not a strategy episode.
It’s a remembering.

An invitation to lead from the body, not the buzzwords.
To build culture in the field between us — not in the frameworks we’ve inherited.
