Born without a choice

Born Without a Choice is a podcast about growing up and trying to understand life in a world we never chose to enter.

There’s no guide, no clear path, just experiences that shape us as we go. This podcast explores those thoughts, moments of confusion, self-discovery, school, relationships, and the quiet pressure to figure everything out. Through honest conversations and insights from people with more life experience.

  The Hidden Choices We Make About Our Health: Addiction, Technology,Beyond the Obvious_Norbert Heuser

  Sep 29, 202640 min

  Norbert Heuser joins Born Without a Choice for a thought-provoking conversation about addiction, health habits, technology, curiosity, and the hidden influences that can shape our everyday lives. A German-born inventor, entrepreneur, public speaker, life and health coach, management consultant, philosopher, and author, Norbert’s journey into health began with a serious personal health crisis decades ago. That experience led him to question conventional assumptions, research lifestyle and health, and explore connections between habits, technology, environmental influences, and human wellbeing. The conversation also explores modern technology and the amount of time children and young people spend around cell phones, Wi-Fi, and other connected devices. Norbert shares his concerns about electromagnetic radiation and discusses inventions he says he developed to help address exposure to electromagnetic influences. Some of these health claims are debated, making the conversation an opportunity to explore how we can remain curious while also distinguishing personal experience, proposed solutions, and established scientific evidence. Norbert also discusses addiction and habits—from coffee and caffeine to our increasingly connected relationship with smartphones. We explore why some habits become difficult to recognize as choices, how technology can influence the way we live, and why questioning what we consider “normal” can be an important part of thinking independently.

  Working With Your Brain, Not Against It: Neurodiversity, and Sustainable Wellness_Kathryn Riordan

  Sep 29, 202621 min

  Kathryn Riordan joins Born Without a Choice for a conversation about neurodiversity, burnout, executive dysfunction, time blindness, nourishment, and learning to work with yourself instead of constantly fighting against yourself. A National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and founder of For The Sensitive, Kathryn supports neurodivergent women, including those with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, and those who identify as Highly Sensitive People. Her work focuses on creating sustainable approaches to wellness, habits, goals, and daily life that account for how an individual’s brain and nervous system actually function. Kathryn also brings lived experience to her work. After years of navigating health challenges and searching for answers through different approaches and specialists, she eventually needed medical leave from Corporate America. That experience led her toward a more integrated approach involving nervous-system awareness, somatics, behavior change, and nutrition. In this episode, Kathryn explains why executive dysfunction isn’t simply a matter of discipline, how to approach time differently, what burnout can teach us, and how people can build healthier definitions of success without constantly measuring themselves against systems that may not fit them. Guest Details Name: Kathryn Riordan Role: National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach Founder: For The Sensitive Website: forthe-sensitive.com Focus: Neurodiversity, ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, Highly Sensitive People, executive dysfunction, time blindness, burnout, nervous-system awareness, somatics, nourishment Framework: FUEL Framework Specialties: Sustainable wellness, behavior change, habit building, executive-function challenges, sensory needs, nourishment, burnout prevention Approach: Helping neurodivergent women work with their brains and bodies rather than relying on rigid routines, willpower, or restrictive approaches

  What Does It Really Mean to Build a Good Life? — Purpose, and the Choices That Shape Us-Kirana Sidin

  Sep 28, 202624 min

  Kirana Sidin joins Born Without a Choice for a thoughtful conversation about philosophy, purpose, intentional living, and the everyday choices that shape the lives we create. An author and strategic life coach based in Jakarta, Kirana explores one deceptively simple question: What does it really mean to build a good life? Her debut book, Cheers for a Good Life , became an Amazon #1 New Release in Philosophy, Ethics & Morality and an Amazon #1 Best Seller in Interpersonal Relations. Kirana’s own journey began with a simple moment of reflection after her youngest child called her “jobless.” What started as quiet mornings with coffee and a stack of books eventually became hundreds of reflections, a book, and the foundation of her A Good Life framework. In this conversation, Kirana explores how small everyday decisions can shape an entire life, how philosophy can help us navigate ordinary challenges, and how we can separate the life we genuinely want from the life we feel we’re supposed to want. Guest Details Name: Kirana Sidin Roles: Author | Strategic Life Coach | Speaker Book: Cheers for a Good Life Website: cheersforagoodlife.com Framework: A Good Life Location: Jakarta, Indonesia Key Themes: Philosophy, purpose, intentional living, personal growth, decision-making, relationships, meaning, everyday choices Focus: Helping people gain clarity, make intentional decisions, and build lives that genuinely reflect what matters to them

  Sep 28, 202623 min

  Leslie Draffin joins Born Without a Choice for a conversation about nervous-system regulation, trauma, self-trust, embodiment, anxiety, and finding your way back to yourself. A trauma-informed somatic practitioner and former television news anchor, Leslie spent 15 years building a successful career while privately navigating anxiety and chronic stress. Her own experience eventually led her toward somatic practices, ritual, and a deeper understanding of the connection between the body and emotional wellbeing. Today, Leslie works at the intersection of somatic science and modern ritual, helping people reconnect with their bodies, emotional awareness, and inner sense of direction—especially during periods of overwhelm and major life transition. The conversation explores what survival mode can look like in everyday life, why the body can communicate what the mind overlooks, how self-trust develops, and what it really means to “come home to yourself.” Guest Details Name: Leslie Draffin Roles: Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner | Former Television News Anchor Website/Resource: SHIFT — lesliedraffin.myflodesk.com/shift Background: 15 years as a television news anchor Method: SHIFT Method — a nervous-system reset designed to help people pause, reconnect with their bodies, and create space for greater clarity Key Themes: Nervous-system regulation, somatic practices, trauma, anxiety, embodiment, self-trust, emotional awareness, life transitions Focus: Helping people reconnect with their bodies, develop self-trust, navigate overwhelm, and move toward more intentional living

  When Your Child Walks Away: Estrangement, Forgiveness, Faith, and Finding Your Way Back-Marit Welker

  Sep 27, 202641 min

  Marit Welker joins Born Without a Choice for an honest conversation about family estrangement, motherhood, forgiveness, faith, healing, and the complicated path toward reconciliation. A coach, speaker, and podcaster, Marit works with Christian mothers experiencing estrangement from their adult children. Her perspective is deeply personal: she has experienced estrangement from both sides, first as the child who walked away from a parent and later as the parent whose own adult child walked away. Marit also shares how major life challenges—including cancer, chronic illness, chronic pain, a mild traumatic brain injury, and financial difficulties—shaped her understanding of resilience, personal responsibility, and faith. The conversation explores what parents can control when an adult child chooses distance, how forgiveness can exist alongside unresolved hurt, the difference between boundaries and avoidance, and how to remain open to healing without putting your entire life on hold. Guest Details Name: Marit Welker Roles: Coach | Speaker | Podcaster Focus: Family estrangement, motherhood, forgiveness, faith, healing, and reconciliation Audience: Christian mothers experiencing estrangement from their adult children Website: MaritWelker.com Additional Website: RejectedChristianMomsCoach.com Program: Five-Day Challenge for mothers experiencing estrangement Key Themes: Adult-child estrangement, forgiveness, boundaries, reconciliation, personal responsibility, resilience, Christian faith, healing, personal growth Personal Perspective: Experienced estrangement from both the child and parent perspectives
