Our learnings from Glowcast
In this episode, Miriam Jacks and her husband, GLOWCAST producer Christian Jacks, discuss what they learned from the first eight episodes of the podcast. The personal stories and, in some cases, fates of the GLOWCAST guests left a lasting impression on both of them and also confirmed the experiences they had on their own journeys to better health and inner glow.
Christian particularly finds himself in Dr. Kati Ernst's story (episode #05), which is about the inner demon and physical health, and reports on his body transformation. Miriam's biggest aha moment was the conversation with Sina Oberle (episode #04). As a couple, the two can now deal with Miriam's PMS and understand the female cycle better.
Impressed by Elena Uhlig's (episode #03) extroverted personality, Lisa Buchholz's (episode #01) honesty or Lorenz Illing's (episode #06) approaches to modern human resources management, Miriam and Christian jump from topic to topic and share their private views and personal anecdotes from their lives.
At this point, the entire GLOWCAST team would like to thank the guests of the first season. Thank you for coming, speaking and impressing us - with your knowledge, your strength and your perseverance. We look forward to the upcoming guests and episodes!
Growth through Fate
At the age of 31, she had an unexpected stroke on December 26 in South Africa. She had to sit for 28 days and was not allowed to lie down so that her brain did not swell further. She could not speak, could not swallow, and could not see or hear much.
Tamara Schenk is a successful entrepreneur and founder of the employer branding platform KOA. Her motto? When in doubt, always go. To events, to meetings. Go to build your own business and always be one step ahead of others. But suddenly she was no longer one step ahead, but many, many steps behind. She had to learn everything from scratch and in doing so developed a fighting spirit that brought her back to life.
Today she knows that nothing is more important than you. She now lives more consciously and in the moment, reduces her stress and eats healthily. In our last, very emotional podcast episode of the first Glowcast season, Tamara tells us why asking "Why me?" doesn't get you anywhere and why you have to believe in yourself after a stroke of fate like this and not let yourself be distracted.

Hair, self-determination and the facets of femininity: What does hair mean to us?
Maren Aleahmad was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. During chemotherapy, she lost her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. She never filled the prescription for a wig. She decided to go bald, even though it felt a bit difficult at first. Not the fact that she had no hair, but that she had not decided it on her own.
Now, years later, Maren has taken the step again and shaved her hair short. And she did it on her own initiative and with the knowledge of how good it feels to be free. Because people still associate attractiveness and femininity with long hair. What do other people think of me? My own husband? Am I sexy despite having short hair?
How we are influenced by common beauty ideals and allow ourselves to be defined by our hair – Maren proves with flying colors that there is another way.
