In this episode of Next Level You, I sit down with Career Alchemist Baiba Wisse to explore how somatic movement - Qigong and Tai Chi - can help us reduce stress, ease anxiety, and create a more aligned career.


Baiba shares her journey from 15 years in corporate talent acquisition to launching the Career in Technicolor podcast, and how “moving mindfulness” became the energy management tool that changed everything.


We dive into: practical “movement snacks” you can do during Zoom calls or between meetings, why sitting all day drains your body and focus, and how tuning into your body helps you tell the difference between normal discomfort and a true misalignment.


We also talk about beta-testing your next step (instead of waiting for the perfect plan), bust a few introvert myths, and reframe productivity through nervous-system care.


If you’re a business owner or professional who feels stuck, stressed, or stuck-in-your-head, this conversation will help you reconnect with your body, build sustainable energy, and take aligned action.



More about Baiba:


Baiba Wisse is on a quest to design her own dream job and call you up to join! She is a Tai Chi Qigong Coach and Career In Technicolor Podcast Host


After 15 years in corporate recruitment her love for interviewing people led her to starting a podcast and sharing stories + tools of designing work that is energizing and fulfilling so you can fall in love with Mondays!


How does Qigong fit into the puzzle? Well after years of sitting behind a computer, Baiba started having unexplained aches, pains, and anxiety issues. She  was feeling fatigued much of the time and often didn’t have enough energy to play with her son, meet up with friends or go out in the evenings or weekends.


She’s always been a seeker, obsessed with learning and trying new things that could give her more energy and on that journey she came across Tai Chi and QiGong.


These gentle energy balancing movements helped her bring in more lightness, ease and joy into her day to day and now she wants to share them with you !
