In this episode, I speak with my friend Maria Ortega about making friends and building a community when you move to a new place and don’t speak or are still learning the language. María Ortega García is an embodied language coach journeying through perimenopause and the changes that it brings, plus meeting ppl after the pandemic, especially as an introvert who used to suffer from social anxiety. We both share our stories and cover:

María Ortega García is an embodied language coach, author, certified poetry therapy practitioner and teacher training provider whose mission is to promote a conscious and nuanced use of language by bringing an embodied and holistic approach to the language learning process.
