This episode is inspired by a recent experience I had being invited to a conference when the imposter syndrome showed up. So, in this episode we explore what that means, and what that fear of being found out, of being a fraud despite all the evidence of competence. What is the connection with self-awareness and what can we do to not let ourselves be limited by that feeling of not being good enough anymore. Listen now.

In this episode, I am sharing the story of how our Nala, a rescue dog from Portugal, came into our lives and made us a family. Join me on this journey that is also the continuation of the story of the very first episode - about closing a chapter intentionally and going at my own rhythm - all the while guided by my gut feeling. Listen to this episode that connects the joy of finding our soul dog with the power of intuition. I am also sharing practices that help you ceconnect, listen and trust your intution more.

In this special story time episode, I am sharing my journey of going from loneliness and self-judgement to self-acceptance and self-love. It was in a very difficult moment of lonliness after the end of my first romantic relationship that I had a realization that lead to the question: How do I become a friend to myself? And the willingness to pursue that question has changed my life. Recorded on my 33rd birthday, I am reflecting back on difficult moments and how the growing friendship with myself truly makes all the difference - also for the relationships in my life (Hint: A friendship with yourself is great prevention for co-dependence).

And here is, as promised, a wonderful practice to cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion by Dr. Kristin Neff - the foundations of a meaningful friendship with yourself.
