Is it possible to have a life we absolutely love and enjoy? How do we go about creating it? Or is it more about realizing it? What is abundance and how can we connect with it? Is it possible to experience unconditional joy?

In this episode, Marina and Misha go deep in their exploration of how they fell in love with life and actually managed to establish a whole relationship with it based on love, joy and understanding, making it possible for them to inhabit the world in a completely different way.

Do we have a say on how we are going to live life? Is it possible to find peace in trying to live from a set of values and preferences while meeting life fully on and facing the challenges it brings?

In this episode, Misha and Marina explore the nature of values as beliefs and the many ways in which they can affect our lives by limiting our possibilities. They also explore how changing our relationship with our values via understanding can free us back into the field of infinite possibility that we truly are.

In this episode you will learn:

- That values are truly made of thought and as such don’t really have the power to limit us.

Let this exploration guide you to discover your own values, how they have been informing your performance in life, and wether you still want to remain within those possibilities or you want to break free and unleash your potential.

What is self-esteem? How is it created? Is it possible to “work” on it?

In this episode, Marina and Misha share personal stories about their own journeys with self-esteem, from the role that parents can play in it to the ultimate liberation that can come from a different understanding of the term.

In this episode you will learn:

- The misunderstandings that the world lives regarding what self-esteem is and what we can actually do with it.

- Why working to have “a good self-esteem” can actually be counterproductive to your enlightenment.

Listen in, and take the first step towards a new understanding of yourself.

On our episode #12 we explore the many ways in which women sacrifice themselves in the world today in the name of their “role”, today we explore the counterpart of this fact by exploring the male role in the world, the expectations it creates, the pressure it imposes, the consequences it brings. It is only through awareness that we can begin to tackle the challenges the compartmentalization has brought us, and through awareness itself we can find our way forward and embody the opportunities beyond.

In this episode you will learn:

- How Misha´s story is a reflection of every other story we could find regarding the need to embody a role.

- All the things that are being left behind, unexplored and unexpressed because of our imagined need to fulfill the expectations that are placed upon us.

- How invisible the conditioning can be even though it is in plain sight.

- What we can all do to help the world enter a new phase in which everybody is free to follow their own callings beyond our role.

Listen to the truth men are living in, discover how you are contributing to the perpetuation of these biases, and free yourself of your expectations of others and yourself.

Coaching is an art.

This implies that there is way more than technical aspects to it, that it actually requires long hours of practice, trial and error, exploration and repetition to actually begin to understand what it is about for each individual coach out there. There is no way to copy or imitate good coaching, because it is inherently dependent of the understanding that those involved have of the nature and possibilities of the process, as well as the openness and commitment to it.

In this episode you will learn:

• What the elements of good coaching are for Misha and Marina.

• Why there are different ways of looking at each of them even though they all point to the same thing and how we benefit from exploring all perspectives.

• The active interrelation that exists between them, the coach and the client

• The role of the coach and the role of the client in an extraordinary coaching conversation and why they are both vital to the success of the process.

Explore what fantastic coaching is all about and allow yourself to begin your own exploration of what can actually take you to experience exactly that, regardless of which side of the equation you are in.

The world is divided by imaginary boundaries in endless different ways, but some of these ways affect our lives much more than we might think. Such has been the case of gender roles, especially since the establishment of the patriarchy, for both males and females. On this episode, we explore life from the point of view of a woman: the implicit expectations, rules, possibilities and limitations they are subject to, and how they experience them.

In this episode you will learn:

- The main archetypes with which women are identified in the world today and how mythology can help us become aware of our understanding of the world in the moment

- The signs of a change of paradigm of integration that are starting to appear in the world, what they are showing us and what we can do to contribute

- The reasons why sacrifice can look like a good idea at a certain moment and how inner wisdom can help us out the second it starts looking like a bad idea.

- Why what we want at our deepest core is where the secret lies.

Let this exploration open your eyes to the world of women and beyond, into a world of reconciliation and balance.

They say knowing what we want is the most difficult thing in life. Most people can spend half a life time without gaining any clarity around it, partly because there seems to be a belief that it is something we can actually choose and that the choice should be made according to what our rational mind -and our culture- think is “the best option”. And yet it only takes a little observation to realize that we are not free in what we want, we simply want it. And it is precisely ignoring what is a fact in us in exchange for what is “convenient” or “safe” that makes the whole process of following our deeper knowing incredibly complicated in today’s world.

In this episode, Marina and Misha go deep into the exploration of the facts, lies and mechanics of human wanting, and why a deep understanding of the human dimension is vital in the quest for what we want.

In this episode you will learn:

- How to cut through the noise of what you “should” want and discover what you actually do want.

- Why success is all about recognizing what we want and following it through instead of fulfilling other people’s expectations of us.

- The connection between our feelings and our knowing in terms of how they guide us towards what we want.

- The value of placing our true wants first.

Dive deep into the conversation and discover, finally, what you really want.

Most of us are familiar with that beautiful, mind-freeing, exhilarating experience of being in love, yet we all can easily recognize that our take on it has not truly been unconditional; on the contrary, our relationships seem to be filled with expectations, rules and demands. There are very few people that can honestly say they have had the extreme, intense, mind-bending experience of having loved unconditionally. But did you know that every single being that has ever existed has had the uninterrupted experience of being loved unconditionally?

In this episode, Marina and Misha dive deep into the experience that everybody seems to be looking for and yet seems to escape us constantly. They talk bout their own personal experiences in the matter, but also of the revelations they have had about the possibility of finding true, absolute, unconditional love in our lives.

In this episode you will learn:

- The differences between personal and impersonal love.

- Why true love implies absolute freedom.

- To recognize all the different ways in which love can show up in your life.

- How to allow yourself to be loved by life.

Open the doors to love and watch your life transform in beautiful, unexpected, marvelous ways.

Every single human being on the planet comes naturally equipped with a perfect, elegant, infallible guidance system designed to direct us towards our highest, most rich possibility at every moment.

Unfortunately, most human beings are not aware of this fact, and most of the ones that don’t really understand how it works, how it communicates with them, how to allow themselves to be guided by it.

In this episode, Marina and Misha explore the mechanics of our inner guidance system, how to read its feedback, and the beautiful possibilities that it brings us both as apprentices and mentors in life.

In this episode you will learn:

- How to get to know, understand and interact with you inner navigation system.

- The apparently opposite disciplines we embody, as students and teachers, and how they are both always true in an authentic movement of growth in life.

- Why not knowing is as positive and useful as knowing, if not more.

The truth about why and how wisdom operates in us.

Allow yourself to be guided in this unique exploration and discover the hidden possibilities in a radically new understanding of leadership.

The way men and women perceive life can be very different, and one of the areas in which the contrast can be especially dramatic is sex. As always, there are two ways to deal with the gap – to deny it or to explore it.

So let’s talk about sex, the perceptions that both men and women have of it, how that shapes our capacity to explore it, and how all of that changes through life.

In this episode, we both share our sincere perspectives about some of the most sensitive issues that underlie the cultural expressions of sex, like abuse, shame and control. We also discuss different options of how to diminish the expectation gap to open ourselves up to new experiences of pleasure.

Finally, we explore how the experience of the entire process depends on the meaning we have attached to it and the intention of those involved, just like in a dance.

From this episode you will learn:

- How to trust a person, yourself and the process,

- How to reduce the expectation gap,

- How to explore yourself and the other and create a space for you two that will bring plenty of opportunities to grow,

- What thoughts contribute to exploration of pleasure.

This episode is very sincere and thought provoking. It’s really worth listening to.
