Whatever. Do It Anyway. with Angelika Warkus
Even if they don't believe you.
Even if it scares you.
Even if no one is watching.
This is the podcast for people who are done waiting for the perfect moment. Author, musician, and mentor Angelika Warkus brings you honest conversations, sharp thinking, and the kind of clarity that makes you want to get up and do the thing.
No excuses. No filters. Just you, your life, and what you're going to do with it.
Whatever. Do It Anyway.
Manchmal reicht ein einziger Satz beim Abendessen und man ist wieder sechzehn. Mein Sohn sagt, die Schule vermisst er nicht, aber die Leute, und ich falle direkt zurück in einen Sommer an der Ostsee, DDR Zeit, Kiefernduft und warmer Sand, ein Junge der beim Tischtennis öfter danebenschlug als traf und trotzdem jeden Abend wieder da war. In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit an einen Campingplatz aus einer anderen Zeit, mit Kassettenrekordern vom Jugendweihegeld, tropfendem Eis und einem Sommer der später der letzte war, den ich noch ganz Kind meiner Eltern sein durfte.
Whatever. Do it anyway. 🤍

Von hinter der Kamera ans Mikrofon
For decades I was the child who hid.
Bullied. Withdrawn. Invisible. Until at some point it just felt normal.
This episode is about the moment I stopped hiding. And what happens when you start using your voice even when it still sounds strange to you.
Whatever. Do It Anyway. with Angelika Warkus
Ich war jahrzehntelang das Kind das sich versteckt hat. Und jetzt sitze ich hier mit einem Mikrofon.
In dieser Episode erzähle ich dir wie das passiert ist. Über das Mädchen das gemobbt wurde. Über die Jahrzehnte hinter der Kamera. Und über diesen einen Moment wo ich gesagt habe: scheiß drauf. Ich mach das jetzt.

War das zu viel
Stimmt. Hier ausführlicher:
Deutsch: Es gibt einen Song der mich findet. Immer wenn ich eine Wahrheit ausspreche die wehtut. Und jedes Mal frage ich mich — war das zu viel?
In dieser Episode erzähle ich dir von dem kleinen Mädchen das getanzt hat. Das gelacht hat. Das einfach da war mit allem was es hatte. Bis eine Stimme kam und sagte: Benimm dich.
Du bist nicht zu viel. Du warst einfach bei Menschen die nicht wussten wie man so viel Freude hält.
Hör rein. Und schick das jemandem der aufgehört hat zu tanzen.
Whatever. Do it anyway.
Englisch: There's a song that finds me. Every time I speak a truth that makes someone uncomfortable. And every time I wonder — was that too much?
In this episode I tell you about the little girl who danced. Who laughed. Who simply showed up with everything she had. Until a voice said: Behave yourself.
You are not too much. You were just with people who didn't know how to hold that much joy.
Listen in. And send this to someone who has stopped dancing.
Whatever. Do it anyway.

Warum willst du immer mehr?
Mehr Geld. Mehr Titel. Mehr Verantwortung. Wir denken: wenn ich das erst habe werde ich glücklicher sein. Ruhiger. Zufriedener.
Aber manchmal sagt der Körper irgendwann Nein. Und dann merkst du: mehr macht dich nicht glücklicher. Es macht dich erschöpfter.
Diese Episode ist über den Moment wo du aufhörst zu jagen. Und anfängst zu leben.
Whatever. Do It Anyway. with Angelika Warkus
Why do you always want more?
More money. More titles. More responsibility. We think: once I have that I'll be happier. Calmer. More satisfied.
But sometimes the body says no. And then you realise: more doesn't make you happier. It makes you more exhausted.
This episode is about the moment you stop chasing. And start living.

What do you actually need to be happy?
I once spent a week in a lonely hut in the mountains. No hot water. No television. No comfort. And it was the happiest week of my life.
This episode is about the moment you realise you need less than you thought. And that the life you've been waiting for might already be here.

The conversation that would change everything. That nobody is having.
Most people spend more time talking to others than they do talking to themselves. To their boss. Their kids. Their partner. Strangers on social media. And then they wonder why they feel so lost. This episode is about the conversation we never have. The one with ourselves. About what we actually need. What we feel. What we want. And why starting that conversation changes everything.

Why the wrong people feel so right. Warum sich die falschen Menschen so richtig anfühlen.
Kennst du das Gefühl wenn jemand sich von Anfang an richtig anfühlt? Die Chemie stimmt. Die Anziehung ist da. Und trotzdem merkst du irgendwann: dieser Mensch tut mir nicht gut.
Diese Episode ist über die stille Entscheidung die wir nach einer Enttäuschung treffen. Und darüber wie diese eine Entscheidung alles verändert. Nicht auf einmal. Sondern leise. In den kleinen Momenten.
Whatever. Do It Anyway. with Angelika WarkusYou know that feeling when someone feels right from the very beginning? The chemistry is there. The attraction is real. And then one day you realise: this person is not good for you.
This episode is about the quiet decision we make after being hurt. And how that one decision changes everything. Not all at once. But slowly. In the small moments.

You didn't los them. You los yourself trying to keep them.
Have you ever looked at someone and thought: they are slowly disappearing. Not physically. But something in them is fading. The lightness. The laughter. The way they used to talk about the future. And you know exactly why. Because they are still holding on to someone who has already let go.
Maybe that someone is you.

Have you ever been so busy taking care of everyone else that you forgot to take care of yourself?
You've always been the one who shows up. Who understands. Who stays. And somehow, that's exactly the problem. This episode is about the moment you realise that being nice isn't always a virtue. Sometimes it's a habit you learned to survive. And the kindest thing you can do for yourself is to finally stop.

The Moment You Stop Waiting
You know that feeling. You're waiting for a message. A decision. A sign. And at first it feels like hope. But somewhere between hope and doubt lives a question nobody asks out loud. How much longer? This episode is about that quiet moment when you finally take yourself seriously again.
