  • Season 3 Episode 22 - Third Spaces: The Soul of European Living

    In this week’s episode of The Life of a Bon Vivant, Beeta explores the concept of “third spaces.” Beeta shares what third spaces are and unpacks how these spaces are woven into daily life in Europe and why they’re so vital for well-being — in contrast to the more utilitarian approach often seen in the U.S. Whether you're sipping wine at a street-side bistro or people-watching from a park bench, this episode invites you to rethink how you spend your in-between moments.

  • Season 3 Episode 21 - Hold the Vision (Even When Nothing’s Happening)

    In this week’s episode of The Life of a Bon Vivant, Beeta opens up about a message every dreamer needs to hear. It is the importance of holding on to your vision especially in the quiet, uncertain in-between moments when nothing seems to be happening. She explores the concept of being “delulu” (delusional in the best possible way) as a powerful manifestation tool, explaining how tuning into the energy of what’s already going well in your life can help align you with the dreams you're calling in. From shifting focus to what feels good, to trusting the divine timing of your goals, this episode is a heartfelt reminder to keep the faith, even when there’s no physical evidence that things are working out—because they often are, just beneath the surface.
