Real Talk: Calm Place for Mad Conversations

In this episode, Elé de Posson openly shares her incredible story of turning her most painful experience in life into a triumph. Even though her “life was perfect on paper”, she had a successful career, marriage and financial stability, she felt a big void inside of her.

One day, after coming back from a yoga retreat, her whole life turned around when her husband of just six months asked for a divorce. This traumatic event was the most potent catalyst for Elé to start diving into who she really was as a woman and what she truly desired when she no longer didn’t have to please others.

Today, Elé has recently got married again, works as a Self-love Coach and a Healer, has created a method called The Self-Healing Spiral, which was born from the need to heal herself. Having approved by the International Coaching Federation, Elé is now also certifying others to become the Self-Healing Spiral Practitioners.

Wanting more doesn't mean you are not satisfied.

Meet my sister from another mister, Christie Valdiserri, a professional dancer, Sports Illustrated first bald model and an absolute champion of breaking the myths about women needing hair to be beautiful.

In this inspirational conversation, Christie shares her story of losing hair to alopecia, for years hiding it under her wig and finally showing the real her to the world and feeling liberated.

Although in this episode, we talk about hair loss, it will give strength and courage to everyone who has ever felt like they don’t fit in, belong or struggle to accept themselves. Ultimately, it’s all about self-love and acceptance, embracing all sides of you.
