About the Podcast

Eunoia means "beautiful thinking," and that's exactly our goal here. The idea began in 2019, when host Alessia Maria (B.A. Neuroscience/Economics) suffered from a rare disorder that turned her life upside down. Today, we explore the quieter parts of being human because life is messy, and we're all finding our way. Think of it like a conversation with a friend. One who overthinks. A lot.So sit down, grab a cup of coffee/tea (or let's be honest, maybe a glass of wine), and listen in!

My mom raised me with two main values: respect for all, and the ability to place yourself in others' shoes. But, over the years, I've begun to discover what happens (for me) when those values are questioned in an unhealthy way. Today's episode is an open journal. Let me know your thoughts.

I graduated, what now? I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting in this time of transition, especially since I never thought I would be here. I had a brain disorder at 15, and graduating from college is the very last place I thought I would be. Join me today as I share a bit of where I have been and what the podcast will look like in the future.

About the Podcast

Created for big thinkers and deep feelers. We’re not a normal podcast. We’re the Eunoia podcast.

Hosted by Alessia Maria, a neuroscience and economics student, the podcast delves into the quieter aspects of being human. It all began in 2019, when Alessia developed (and recovered from!) a rare disorder that turned life upside down. Today, the podcast acts as an online journal of lived experiences.

We’re all human. Life is messy. This podcast makes room for that.
