Forgive and Thrive

Today’s episode marks the end of Year 1 of the Forgive and Thrive podcast. So, we have decided to celebrate this milestone by recalling who we have met, what we discussed about with all our guests, oh yes, all 45 of them, and some of the lessons we learned along the way. We recorded almost 50 hours of truly amazing content that I hope have helped some of you in your own life and whatever challenges you are facing. With this, I’d like to thank, one by one, all my lovely guests for sharing so wholeheartedly with us their life experiences, and challenges, as well as their wins. We appreciate all of you for taking the time to support us in this project. Finally, a big thank you to all our listeners. This show was thought, designed, and created with you in mind, and I hope that you have found it useful, we wouldn’t make sense without you and your support. Thank-you!

In today’s episode, we talk with Anastasia Vladychyska, a professional keynote speaker and consultant, who had to flee Kyiv and Ukraine, after the invasion of her country, and is now based in Italy. With Anastasia, we discuss about the current situation in the country, and the challenges of the many women who have to flee the country with children and just a backpack, face a long journey towards a new, unknown country, and how important is for them to be able to count on someone on the other side who can help them with practical tips and support, just as she has been doing for the past couple of months with well over 100 Ukrainian women.

In today’s episode, we talk about the brain and its malleability, a function referred to as neuroplasticity. Today, we learn from Gemma Herbertson, founder of neurofrontiers.org, how the ability of the brain to adapt is crucially important with children and for their development, but it also be exploited later in life. Harnessing the process of neuroplasticity in adulthood isn’t quite as simple as with children, but it can be accomplished under specific circumstances and with appropriate techniques.
