Episode 13 - ALPHA - Creating healthy habits & reconnecting to the true masculine within with Marcel van der Geest

Under the ALPHA frequency of BODY.

From car salesmen, to connected coach. Dutch native Marcel, was living in toxic masculinity, chasing the external, success and appearances - yet feeling fundamentally unfulfilled. Competing with the societal and family conditioning of what it means to be a ‘man’ and how to deal with feelings and emotions - aka by not talking about them.

He began his journey into finding his truth with the key element being finding home within yourself. Taking the time to be in nature and stillness, and to move the body often, to reconnect with the inner true self.

He has in the past years co-founded the Amsterdam based app ‘HABFIT’ - keeping your energy high is a result of your habits. Coaching people with online classes such as yoga, pilates, movement, strength, mindfulness. Marcel believes it can be easy for us all to be healthy and keep good habits - all it takes is to sport 2-3 times per week (2.5 hours a week).

He guides people as a psychodynamic coach, closer to the lives that align with them; work life balance, life purpose, self-care, procrastination, finding presence and purpose.

His messages:

“Patience is key - you can’t amazon prime your healing”

On learning to talk about emotions as a man: “Talk to someone, write it down - write and dont stop”
