Are psychopaths born or made? In this episode, we dive deep into one of psychology’s most haunting questions.

Through the real-life stories of Ted Bundy, Ed Kemper, and Jeffrey Dahmer, we explore how childhood trauma, neurological differences, and genetic predispositions can shape a human mind into something capable of unimaginable violence.

From early warning signs and pivotal turning points to the latest scientific insights into brain development and empathy, this episode unpacks what makes a psychopath and whether any of us could carry the same seeds inside.

We also break down the difference between psychopathy and sociopathy, clarifying what science can and can’t tell us about the origins of conscience.

🔍 Listen to uncover:

• How Bundy’s hidden shame and narcissistic wounds fueled his crimes

• Why Ed Kemper’s abusive upbringing and high intelligence became a deadly combination

• What drove Jeffrey Dahmer’s need to possess and control

• What brain imaging studies reveal about empathy and morality

Are we born without conscience or do life’s circumstances break it away?

In this episode, we journey into the quiet struggle of impostor syndrome — that haunting feeling that you’re merely playing a role, that your accomplishments are borrowed, and one day the truth will come to light.

Together, we’ll explore how impostor syndrome takes shape, why it persists, and the many ways it weaves itself into our daily lives — whether you’re studying, working, creating, or simply trying to grow into who you are meant to be.

Along the way, I’ll share gentle ways to recognize these thoughts and to soften the fear of never feeling “enough.”

If you’ve ever questioned whether you truly deserve your own story, this conversation is for you.

So pour yourself something nice and cold, find a quiet corner, and let’s unravel this together.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey with vulnerability — how I went from feeling completely disconnected from my emotions to fully embracing them. I share what it meant for me to finally allow myself to feel, to hurt, to heal, and to be honest with myself.
Through 5 steps that shaped my path, I walk you through how to gently reconnect with your feelings, embrace your humanity, and lean into the power of being vulnerable.
This is an invitation to take off the armor, to sit with yourself, and to realize that sometimes, being brave enough to break is exactly what leads us to wholeness.

Have you ever felt like your heart was physically aching after an emotional shock: a breakup, loss, or deep sadness?

In this episode, we explore the mysterious link between emotional pain and physical sensation. We dive into the science behind "Broken Heart Syndrome" — also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy — and how our brain and body respond when emotions overwhelm us.

From neuroscience to poetic metaphors, this episode is a gentle journey into how deeply our feelings shape our body. Grab your cup of tea, settle in, and let’s reflect together.

Because sometimes, the heart really does feel everything.

The title says it all, really. We talk stress management, responsibility, the pain points of any project. WE SPOKE FACTSS!!

DISCLAIMER: I'm really sorry pour la qualité de son, I tried my best.

It was such an interesting discussing with Othmane. I feel like this episode is for anyone who needs a sign to finally start THAT project or business and what to expect and NOT expect in the begining of the process. Othmane shares with us the main lessons he learnt through his journey with the creation of Club d'Art Oratoire and the challenges he faced. Very inspiring journey. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

This episode is the part 2 of the previous one. We will be discussing another perspective of emotional dependence.

Emotional dependence is a quite serious matter that needs to be more talked about. It’s not something that we should normalise nor romanticise. It can literally destroy someone else’s life. It makes people settle for what hurt them deeply and destroy them little by little. My episode has one goal: help people recognise manipulative behaviour and be more aware of how dangerous emotional dependence can get. Enjoy it!

Hello hello hello! I’m so exited for today’s episode! It’s a really dear subject to me because it really helped me go through a lot of challenges in my life. We can’t change something we haven’t accepted. I hope it will help you see things with another perspective and maybe be at peace with yourself and with whatever you’re going through. Don’t forget that we’re all living this life for the first time, it’s okay to not know what to do or say and make mistakes: just make sure to learn from them. Don’t hesitate to give me your honest opinion about it it’s always a pleasure. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did recording it. See you soon for a new episode!

Ps: ( not that soon saraha ghir kan tabatkoum) kisses!! 

Hello hello hello! I hope that you’ll like this episode and it helped you understand more things about your surroundings and yourself. It really amazes me how simple facts can have such a huge impact in our lives. See you in the next episode! ( a little surprise is coming !)
