Today’s title is not only figurative but also literal as I’ve just finished a 10k in the lovely Regent’s Park الحمدالله

Listening to the One Direction songs I listened to as a little girl dreaming of living in London and here I am سبحان الله

It’s been a wonderful yet rollercoaster of a year and after a refreshing run, let’s reflect on some lessons:

🌟 The power of influencers: pushing myself to fast Dhul Hijjah despite late sunsets and declining energy الحمدالله - it’s all mindset. Kudos to a special source of inspiration, you know who you are <3

🌟 How investing time to learn and better understand yourself in depth can genuinely changed the game

🌟 How we’re conditioned to be “prepared” when in reality, real life requires taking “unprepared” risks “

I hope this gives you some serotonin

Bizou 💋!

Smile to life, when you smile at life, it smiles back like a mirror - a snippet of serotonin from today’s episode with Chadia

From small town of France to Casablanca and now, London, Chadia embodies risk taking, connection and shines with optimism.

Today we chat:

🌟Connecting to culture: Chadias experience in promoting Cinema as an access to culture

🌟 Making a life changing decision that suits YOU but that others call “crazy”

🌟 The Danger of Passion.

Something that stuck with me from Chadia: “Culture is the heartbeat of a country - without access to culture, we’re killing its soul”

Other people’s fears do NOT have to be your fears. Be aware of the difference and it can change your life
