Episode 37 - Power naps, self care and mental health with Daniel Paulus

Daniel takes us through the unsustainable habits that led to his collapse: working late shifts to avoid interruptions, surviving on takeaway meals and six energy drinks daily, and completely neglecting self-care. The turning point came when he discovered a three-part approach to recovery—the BOSH technique: movement (Bewegen), relaxation (Ontspanning), and social connection (Social).

What makes this episode particularly valuable is Daniel's practical, tested advice for maintaining mental wellbeing in high-pressure tech environments. He explains why walking in nature without technological distractions fundamentally changes how our brains process stress, and shares his precise methodology for power naps that rejuvenate rather than drain energy (hint: it's all about avoiding deep sleep cycles).
