On this episode I tell you about my 2 weeks offline and I bring you a mantra that lead me to find courage inside of me.

My mantra is: Fear is not here to stop you to do what you have to do, it is here for you to find courage!

The Portuguese word I said was "coragem" :)

There is not doubt that nowadays everyone is looking for "self love" or ways how to love oneself more. I love this and self love is my "back to basics" at all times, no matter what happens in my life I know this is the "concept" I can always go back to. During my journey I had to start to understand that loving myself and seeing myself as a priority in my life didn't mean I was a selfish person. However, on this episode I bring you a perspective that goes beyond this... because loving yourself doesn't mean also that you cannot be compassionate and it doesn't mean that you have to be, indeed, selfish!

The expression I said in Portuguese was "amor-próprio" :)

On this episode I tell you about our inner child's needs and its way of behaving through our life when we don't take its needs into consideration!

Sometimes we come up with excuses so we don't live our lives up to our full potential because we tend to think that we are not enough (which also feeds this society of constantly consuming courses, tutorials, etc). 

On this episode I tell you more than 1 example of mine in regards to this and I share with you some advices so you can start overcoming this "excuses" mindset!

The Portuguese expression I said was "sem desculpas" :)

In this episode I talk (a lot) about commitment and the commitment to your own self development journey. 

Lately I have been feeling that it's very easy for us to enroll in many courses, classes, even therapies and then we end up not being really committed to what we have signed up to. During the episode I share some personal examples of commitment and I also leave you here some suggestions on how to check up if you are really doing the right decision on buying "another" course/therapy.

The word I said was "compromisso" :)

btw, at the beginning when I was referring to the previous episode and I said "mental" disease I meant the beliefs I had to heal in myself :) through my personal journey.

In this (very emotional) episode I tell you into more detail the process of my thyroid tumor. 

What I share here are "pieces" of this time of my life that I knew I had to share at some point, I just didn't know exactly how - so here it goes! These "details" stayed with me this whole time, so I felt that now was the time to tell you about the deep meaning of some events that happened during the time when I had my 2 surgeries. 

The word I said was "borboleta" :)

Hello dear 2023 listeners :) in this episode I talk about my feeling of appreciation regarding the year 2022 and I also bring you 2 main topics that caught up my attention when I saw Avatar 2. In the episode I analise these 2 topics through the lens of Family Constellations.

The word I say in Portuguese is "Gratidão" :)

In this episode I talk about the feeling of "feeling lost"! 

At some point we have all been there (or are there) right? Here I share my vision as a person & as a therapist about where this feeling comes from and suggestions to help you out during these days.

The Portuguese word I shared was "Amor" :)

After the last episode's topic: about the real importance of being part of a community, I want to tell you why you might still feel like you don't belong!

I explain where the Exclusion comes from (based on Family Constellations - and the "order of love" of belonging) and I provide you with many different examples of my life where I felt this. Also, I clarify an important detail: growing apart.

The Portuguese word I said was "Saudade" :)
