  • Ep #14 - Being Your Own Boss & Doing What You Love With Your Language (with Adriana Chowaniok)

    "Just thinking about it won't show you what you can do. You have to actually DO IT, and then you'll see what you're capable of."  (Adriana Chowaniok) 

    Adriana didn't trust herself;  she was worried that she wouldn't be able to share her language with children, and discovered that in fact, she WAS capable and the children LOVED it!

    Having moved from Argentina to Australia almost 30 years ago, Adriana has been combining working as an Early Childhood Educator with sharing her Spanish language and culture with the children (both at childcare and in her own sessions) in a variety of ways.  


    Now, having felt the pull to be more of herself as she moves into the next exciting phase of her life, Adriana has finally found the courage to gradually bring her talents, experience and the joys of her language together and grow her Yo Hablo sessions into something sustainable and full of fun, for herself and for all her participants.

    The photos on this link will get your creative juices flowing, for sure (Adriana makes such beautiful displays for the children):

  • Ep #12 - The Gift You Give to Yourself

    Being bilingual yourself, you already know about the wonderful benefits of exposure to new languages, and you've likely seen those benefits in your own children.


    And if you're listening to this podcast, it's likely to be because you're drawn to the idea of creating something amazing with your language, sharing all those benefits with more children/adults/families.

    But did you know that in doing so, the greatest gift is actually the one that you give yourself?

    In this episode, I explore how sharing your gift (and by the way, your gift includes more than just your language) can help you to connect with yourself.

  • Ep #11 - From Accountant to Starting the Rainbow English Club for Mums & Bubs (with Chiara de Benedictis)

    IF you are still just thinking about this idea of running your own sessions


    OR

    You've made some progress and decided where, what and how you'd like to start your own language sessions,

    but you're feeIing nervous and haven't actually taken the leap just yet . . .

    . . . I invite you to plug in your earbuds and listen to our amazing Chiara from our online CLUB Cocorico.   

    In this wonderful chat, Chiara is very open and shares the journey of all of her fears, her concerns and her successes as she went from being an accountant in Italy, to childcare in London, and then back to Italy with a beautiful new baby and a desire to use her love of languages and her passion for working with children to start her Rainbow English Club for Mums and Bubs.

    Chiara shares:

    • How she turned fear into excitement and took her first steps
    • How breaking down her seemingly overwhelming goal into little bite-sized pieces took her from a vague idea, to creating gorgeous English sessions that she and the children and Mums just love
    • Her desire to start cheap, and how she made it happen
    • Having her own little daughter be a part of her sessions
    • Some funny ways she found herself procrastinating
    • And more great tips to help YOU get started and growing

      • There's nothing like hearing someone else's story, someone who's already passed through what we're going through, to make us realise that we're not alone in our fears and desires, and that it's possible to achieve our dreams a little step at a time, starting from nothing.


      You can enjoy one of her videos for little ones, too.

      LISTEN UP, and then go and CREATE YOUR DREAM.

      Find your voice.  Be your voice.  Create your dream.
