What’s a Kegel? WTF am I doing with my life? What if I don’t want babies? Am I the only one that doesn’t have it figured out? Settle in and join host Isabel von Rittberg in her raw, vulnerable, and sometimes outrageous conversations about the things that keep us up at night. No topic is taboo, nothing is off limits.
In this episode, I share my father’s story of being born into war, loss, and displacement during World War II, and how his early experiences shaped a life defined by resilience, imagination, and rebuilding. From fleeing Russian occupation as a child to growing up in post-war Germany with a mother who created opportunity out of scarcity, his journey ultimately led him to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship, where a chance meeting changed the course of our family’s history. It’s a story about survival, ambition, and the quiet strength that turns hardship into possibility.

Life Is a Quilt
Growing up, it almost felt normal what an extraordinary life my mom had lived. The traveller was in her. How did my mom end up in Germany? I guess you’ll have to listen. But there were quite some detours, including India.

Creating Comes From Nothing
Born in Scotland, Angie Seckinger spent her childhood moving a lot all over the globe, from Pakistan, Columbia, Chile and Guatemala to Arizona, Washington DC, Maryland and Germany. Her dad was a foreign service officer and her life was never boring. Angie has been an artist and professional photographer for 40 years. I met her through my husband Pata when I first came to Cornudella in 2014. At the time, she was still living the double life, hustling as a well established photographer in the US, and spending her winters on her quiet piece of property tucked up against the Montsant. We have spent hours talking on her deck. Every time her insights resonate and I walk away inspired. Angie seems to always get me and understand my process. In this recording, we talk about feeling stuck, the cycles of life, the creative process and the importance of stopping. Angie also shares how she learned what ‘having enough’ means to her. In her own words: “Today, I am retired and living my best, peaceful life”.
