Episode 44: Dr. Michael B. Dibley: Becoming the Architect of A Meaningful Life
In this episode, Susanne sits down with Dr. Michael Dibley, a visionary entrepreneur with a background as a chiropractor, whose life’s work has led him to become what he describes as a ‘Human Potential Specialist’. Dr. Dibley is an expert in helping others unlock their true potential: his family’s strong roots in natural healthcare and his own passions led him to explore the principles of Quantum Physics, and how we can apply them to our everyday lives. Serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, or as Dr. Dibley puts it, ‘Who serves on the quantum gets served on the quantum.’Dr. Dibley speaks about the intention behind design, such as what we create at Holzweiler, and how the energy infused into it can transform the way people feel and interact with the world around them. The discussion delves into themes of personal energy, thriving versus surviving, and how even fashion carries intention and energy. They also touch upon the role of discipline and gratitude in achieving balance.Ultimately, this conversation is an exploration of how serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, and the significance of intention in both design and wellbeing. As he explains in the episode, Dr. Dibley’s main goal is to guide people into architecting a meaningful life while staying harmoniously connected with the universe. Hosted on Acast.

They reflect on how they’ve matured over the years - learning to communicate better, support one another more deeply, and even imagine working side-by-side without losing their sense of self.They also look back with tenderness at their younger selves, offering advice they wish they’d had: be kinder, be patient, and don’t forget to pause and breathe. Isabelle finds calm in music and people-watching, while Jonas takes quiet moments alone, letting stillness reset him.This episode is a celebration of long-term love, creative independence, and the small rituals that help us come home to ourselves - and each other.

Welcome to the Take a Moment podcast, a space to block out the noise and let inspiration flow.Our host, Susanne Holzweiler, is also one of the founders of our company. She’s been there since the early days when Holzweiler first started operating as a small agency in Oslo, and is now at the heart of operations as we transition into a global lifestyle brand. Take a Moment with Holzweiler is a podcast inspired by Susanne’s experience of juggling life with a rapidly expanding business. Back in 2016 Susanne was operating as Holzweiler’s CEO: ‘I had been working so much and so hard, after having the business for 10 years. I had also gotten 2 small kids during that period, and it was just everything at the same time. I was working day and night - every spare second I was spending working.’Susanne developed a bad case of burnout, and the remedy for this was quite literally to take a moment. Susanne shifted her lifestyle to allow for a space for wellness, meditation and rest, and to learn new information from books, podcasts and her peers.Inspired by this, Take a moment with Holzweiler is our new podcast where we delve deep into the stories of the people who inspire us. There’s so much to learn if we take the time to listen to other people’s experiences, and this is what this podcast creates a space to do.As our Holzweiler family continues to grow, we get to know the stories of an ever expanding range of people, from royalty to leaders in the modern wellness movement. Holzweiler sits at the intersection of life and style, therefore we often take our inspiration from the real people living life with the values that align with our own.In the rush of the working week when everyone is dashing from meeting to meeting it’s hard to find the time to let creativity flow. So, we invite you to take a moment and join us for this podcast and see where inspiration from these stories can lead you to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
