Collect the dots to connect the dots

In this week’s episode, we will be talking about the art of collecting dots. We often hear people talk about collecting dots, but collecting them is just as important! This week, do something completely new and notice how it can help you if you are stuck! As always, with love, cheers, Z

Truth isn't always loud

In today's episode, we touch upon something that we tend to forget: our truth(s) is(are) not always loud. We often hear that "I found my truth", but I think truth is not something to be found, but rather something that we create. Over the years, I know I am not the only one who has learned (and was taught) to "de-trust" myself. What I mean by that is that all the gadgets we are using, the ones telling us how much we slept last night, how much we should or should not eat, ... all these gadgets have brought us further away from our intuition, from our truths. We use an external referential, rather than our own notion or sense of self. Our truth is often subtle; it is like someone whispering to us: "hey should we do this? Hey, should we get back to doing this?". Truth is calm, it is confident, it is waiting for us with open arms. It is a subtle nudge to get us back on track. It can be goosebumps when listening to reading your favorite author, it can be found in a sigh of relief. Yes, truth often feels like relief, it feels like letting go. On the other side of the spectrum, we have (what I like to call) the "noise" (whether internal or external) that is tinted with ego, with fear, with conditioning. Knowing from which place we act can be so beneficial for our overall well-being. It can allow us to decide our next steps. As always, to do so, we need... (drum roll please) awareness and patience! (The ULTIMATE combo) I hope this episode resonates with you in one way or another. Please feel free to share it with people you love. Remember that all you need... is 8 minutes.

The feeling is old, the choice is new

Welcome back to the 8 Minute Podcast! After two weeks off, I am back with another episode! I missed you! Today, I want to share with you a thought I had about change. The fantasy we often contemplate about change: how this process should be accompanied by a huge and rapid transformation; and how change should equate the absence of struggle, is somewhat a fallacy. But here is something that I observed in myself: I can feel a certain way, and decide to act differently AND in a way that serves me. Repeat after me: despite feeling a certain way, I can choose a different action. And that is how real and sustainable change happens, overtime, and can lead to profound inner transformation. I hope these few words resonate with you. Remember that all you need… is 8 minutes. As always, with love, cheers, Z

What the fear of looking stupid steals

What if the fear of looking stupid is the only thing holding you back? In this episode, we explore why your dreams require courage, not perfection — and why being willing to look like a fool might just be your greatest strength. A gentle but firm reminder that some dreams will never bloom unless you're willing to be bad at them first; and that being willing to look and feel like a fool is what separates the ones who move from the ones who only wish. As always, with love, cheers, Z
