Today I share how the shame, blame trap works and how I have been stuck in this loop of shame and blame when I moved from Brazil to Scotland with my husband and two small children. I also share how to apply what I have learned with life coaching to get out of this loop and help you achieve your goals and be who you want to be in this life no matter what circumstances you are going through. I promise you, you can do it.

I am delighted to share this conversation I had with my friend Kathleen Byrom. She moved to Scotland from South Africa and talks about the challenges of the working mother and the pressures of starting over in a new country. You can find her beautiful wildlife and pet portraits on Facebook @KByrom Art or Instagram @k.byrom_art

Who are your true friends? How do you know the difference? Have you heard of the friendship test? This week I talked about the friendship test on my IGTV videos on my Instagram account.

Pandemics have happened before. Some great scientists have made lemonade out of the lemons of a pandemic in the past and blessed our lives with knowledge we didn't have before then and use to this day.

New restrictions have been put in place in Scotland this week due to rising numbers of coronavirus cases. This creates hard things for us to do again. So how do we deal with doing hard things? Do you do the hard things or do you procrastinate them? Do some people just have it easier? And what does that have to do with coronavirus anyway? That and more on today's episode.

My husband and I talk about our experience moving to Scotland and what we have learned is within our control and outside of our control. Life lessons we have learned because we moved abroad and more!

Should you always help others? When is it acceptable not to help someone? Can helping someone actually make things worse for your relationship with that person? What?! This and more on today's episode.
