In life, we often feel like we're walking around with invisible chains. These chains are made up of what the world tells us we should be doing, how we should look, and who we should love. It's crazy how we let these expectations stop us from chasing what really lights us up inside. 
How many times have you wanted to try something new, take a leap, or just be yourself, but then thought, "Nah, what would my parents / friends / partner / people say?" That's the world defining us, holding us back from our true paths. 
But here's the thing: when we start listening to our own hearts, making choices that feel right to us instead of the noise out there, that's the real freedom. That's when we start living a real life.
Breaking free from people’s expectations and choosing paths that light us up inside, even if they’re less traveled, isn’t easy. But it’s worth it! 
Join me for this week’s episode as I’m talking about redefining success, happiness, and fulfillment for ourselves and start living life on our terms no matter what others have to say.
Because you need no one’s approval to be your true authentic self!

Self-Improvement

Many of us stay in relationships out of fear – fear of being alone, fear of not fitting in. People often feel like they're just not enough unless they're in a relationship. No matter what kind of relationship, they need someone else from the outside to feel worthy.
It’s a sign of codependency when we rely on someone else to feel complete. But what we need to realize is that the real connection you need is with yourself. When you’re not okay on your own, you’re not really okay even with someone else.
I used to be in that place. I thought being with someone would fix everything, give me peace and happiness. But no matter who I was with or who I was hanging out with, I wasn’t truly happy. And that’s because I wasn’t happy with myself.
I learned this the hard way. To test my own independence, I decided not to talk to my best friend Danilo for two weeks. I wanted to see if I could handle things on my own. Before that, I was constantly calling him every time I faced a problem, seeking advice, or just needing to vent.
So those two weeks without Danilo by my side were tough. But they taught me I could stand on my own two feet and the importance of being comfortable with just me. And that’s when I started real growth on my own.
And you know what? Once you start to cultivate self-love and personal growth, the universe opens up. New opportunities blossom not because you’re desperate for them, but because you’re finally ready to meet them as the whole, fulfilled person you are.
So, if this resonates with you, don’t miss this week’s episode as I talk about codependency vs. independence and self-love, why it is important to leave when it feels wrong, and how to start empowering yourself today.

A Guide to Ending Codependent Relationships #306

Many of us often feel stuck in a cycle trying to be someone we're not and get approval from our environment.
Trust me, I've been there – copying others, moving in circles, and honestly, just settling. And still somehow I hoped things would change. But it wasn't until I decided to put a stop to all the crap and really start respecting myself that things began to shift.
Because, only when I started growing and truly loving myself, I started seeing things clearly and recognizing the red flags in people and situations that I didn’t have a clue about before. Then I got the confidence to walk away from some people and toxic relationships. 
I learned a tough lesson about knowing my worth and not giving endless chances to those who don't deserve it. The days when I tolerated nonsense or let fear cloud my judgment are gone. 
Believe me, it’s liberating to say, “I deserve better!” and actually mean it.
I know, it's painful to realize what you've lost because you didn't change sooner. But it’s never too late to start respecting yourself and demanding the respect you deserve.
Life is beautiful when you're in tune with yourself – when you change your environment, surround yourself with supportive people, and pursue your dreams. It's about creating the life you want, not just accepting the life you're handed. 
I've chosen to design my life and you can do that too. And you can do that today!
So, are you ready to take charge and live life on your terms? Tune in for this week’s episode to learn how to respect yourself and stop settling for less. 
Let’s dive in!

Learn to Respect Yourself and Stop Settling for Less #305

Have you ever heard of fascia? Do you know its role? Don’t worry – many people don’t even know what the word means. 
Fascia is actually a physical tissue connecting our body parts. (‘So what?’ I can almost hear you saying this.) Well, what is FASCInating about fascia is that it’s also an organ of consciousness that stores our experiences and emotions. 
And in this episode I have a special guest who can explain the importance of fascia science for holistic health and spiritual well-being. Joining us is Anna Rahe, a healer, educator, and founder of GST Body. 
Anna’s journey began with severe health challenges that traditional medicine couldn't solve. But after discovering fascia and years of studying and researching it, she developed a revolutionary approach to healing and dedicated her life to healing herself and helping others.
Anna challenges traditional views that the brain is the sole controller of bodily functions. In this interview, she explains why the fascia is a crucial sensory organ that stores experiences and sends messages to the brain.
This is not something Anna came up with. 
Fascia therapy fits well with ancient practices like Qi Gong and martial arts. This shows how traditional Eastern wisdom and modern science can work together. As Anna (and many other healers) believe, there should be a more balanced approach, rather than relying solely on external medical interventions.
Tune in for the full interview as Anna talks about the incredible potential of fascia. She also shares how movement, self-awareness, and holistic practices can unlock the hidden potential within us to heal ourselves and achieve spiritual growth.

Every day we face challenges that can feel overwhelming. But these tough times are where we learn and grow the most. 
When I was starting out, I had plenty of setbacks. In the early days of building my business, I'd get frustrated with mistakes. But over time, I learned to allow myself to vent for a bit and then shift my focus to finding solutions. 
This helped me a lot and now I advise my clients to do the same – I encourage them to let their pain fuel their drive. Because pain isn’t just something to endure. It’s actually a powerful motivator. 
My own journey is proof of this. 
Every challenge literally pushed me forward – being bullied, called names, feeling like I didn’t fit in, feeling not enough, overcoming drug addiction, being timid and scared, always worrying about others' opinions… 
Those were lessons for me. Powerful ones. I learned that challenges aren’t roadblocks, but opportunities to learn and improve. 
Every time I faced rejection or doubt, I turned it into energy to push harder and show up for myself. And I can tell you - no matter how tough the period you’re going through, it’s temporary. 
If you want to learn more, tune in to this week’s episode where I’ll talk about using pain as a motivator and seeing challenges as opportunities to grow and learn.

The Wound Is Where the Light Enters #303

Healing your inner child - you've probably heard this phrase many times. (If you’ve listened to any of my podcast episodes, you know that I mention it a lot.)
So, what does ‘inner child’ actually mean?
It’s basically just a way to refer to your younger self and all the past experiences that shaped you. It doesn’t mean there’s a literal "inner child" inside you – just your memories.
For example, when I was a kid, I was bullied a lot, called names, and felt that my parents didn’t love or support me the way I needed. Those experiences created fears and insecurities that I carried into my adult life.
So, how do I deal with this? 
Whenever I feel anxious or scared, especially when I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, I remind myself that it's just my younger self reacting. Because our minds respond with fear when something feels new and uncomfortable.
But now I know that growth happens outside our comfort zone. I know it's not easy. (It was never easy and it won’t be.) But when I look at my life now, I also know it's definitely worth it. I tell my younger self this and reassure him that I've got his back.
Healing our inner child means looking back at our past so we can move forward. It’s about not letting our past define us and taking control of our lives.  And to do that we need to work through those old fears, and finally start living our dreams.
Join me for this week’s episode and let’s dive into transforming your life by healing your inner child.
