SE05 happy#229 - ups and downs

It's the end of the year, a time for personal episode again. 2023 hasn't been an easy journey for me, and I believe it's crucial to discuss struggles, fears, and losses. Life isn't defined by the absence of problems but by how we deal with them. Everything in life has a flip side of the coin. You can't choose 'no problems,' only the price you're willing to pay. By sharing that I also confront my demons, I hope to encourage you to do the same and strive for the life you love.

SE05 happy#226 - what sacrifices would you make for freedom

If you had to make a sacrifice to find your freedom, would you do it? Sacrifices pay off, but sometimes not. Making sacrifices is a risk that few have the strength to take and go forward with, and those who do are worthy of admiration since they put all their effort and work into something uncertain. Today's guests are a couple who sacrificed much of their personal lives to pursue adventure; they are Maya and Aladino from Sailing Magic Carpet. A couple dedicated to refitting their boats and showcasing the process on social media. In this episode, our guests will be sharing how they sacrificed everything they had to live a life full of adventures in the middle of the sea. Also, we will hear how they invested all the savings available in their bank accounts to buy a boat they had never seen before located in the US.
