Stop living for an audience of strangers
It’s been two years since I left my job and life as I knew it. It was a decision that had been roaming in my head for months, but fear of the unknown held me back. I wanted change but was afraid of getting it wrong. I was unhappy but had no guarantee that leaving…

The Unruly Self
This post comes a little late, but with warm feelings and happy memories, even though it is very different from anything I’ve written in the past. These weeks have been full of news, full of discoveries and full of uncertainties, but I have decided to embrace and accept them with patience and self-confidence, without letting…

I thought to be right it had to be easy…
I wanted it for so long. That one constant in a life of variables. A sense of stability to hold you anchored through the roughest, often unpredictable, storms. I dreamt of being found, despite my tendency to hide, and treasured like a rare jewel, adored, and protected. Much like when I was growing up, surrounded…

Are you setting up a goal or expressing a desire?
With this post I feel rather ambitious, but in my opinion it is a really important topic to understand who we are and what we want.At the same time, for some, it may seem trivial and obvious, but to me, it is very close to my heart since it has resolved a lot of uncertainties.…

The truth about being single at 37
And why it wasn’t by choice! I thought I’d be married by now. Being single past a certain age, for a woman, is often subject to scrutiny and judgement. There is no sugar coating it. And yes, times are changing as women are redefining their role in society to extend beyond antiquated stereotypes and limiting…

The Unfolding of a Thought
Ok, I decided to start writing this post even though I have very little time, and I really have a million things to do. More than a post, perhaps this will be a booster post: short, intense and energetic. I need to really gather all my energy for this. All the positive and negative energies…

Enough with labels! And why we over-diagnose our emotions.
One of my readers recently expressed concern about my posts. “What exudes from your writing is that you’re an unhappy person,” she told me. I should specify that her feedback wasn’t unsolicited. I expressly asked for her opinion but did it fully confident I’d receive a wildly complimentary pat on the back. Her words left…

On bad feelings and emotions.
Lately I wanted to get the best out of myself. Take every opportunity that life offers and take advantage of it without paying attention to anything else. I was raised and educated to only pursue freedom and independence. All the other things that put a limit on my life, fits tightly, and I push it…

I decided not to fake it and got rejected.
Last week I got a rejection letter from a prospective employer. It was after the last round in a lengthy interview process and a final performance I thought I nailed. I fully expected to get an offer. So, the “we were impressed but chose another candidate” message really punched my ego. The recruiter offered to…

Why we desire, and why we never get it done.
There is so much in a person’s life. Why we desire what we desire, and why do we always feel the need to justify with ourselves what we desire? I had the chance in life to get to know something about NLP and how to achieve our goals, how to set our goals, and how…

You’re on your own and that’s the hard truth!
What the hell am I doing? I woke up nagged by this question today. Two years ago, I quit my job and left the country in search of purpose. On this quest for meaning and enlightenment, I rediscovered myself and gained a great deal of confidence. Yet today I still battle with the voice that tells…

There are no AHA moments!
Two years ago I climbed mount Kilimanjaro with my dear friend Nellie. We wanted to do something adventurous and were inspired by stories of people who described it as a life-changing experience. I was excited. It was a time in my life when everything was feeling quite blah. I was two years post a devastating…

Do programs shape our identity?
It seems obvious, every time we decide to do something, every time we say something, or even when we think something, we assume it is us doing that. I’m sitting in a café in Rome, looking at people working on their computers, I enjoy my aromatized water with mint and orange; I feel connected to…

Too far beyond the comfort zone
Do you know who you are? How do you introduce yourself to others? What’s your elevator pitch? I’ve always admired those who could blurb out a quick personal infomercial with confidence and conviction. In most scenarios I’ve observed, an intro includes a job title. If you don’t volunteer it immediately, rest assured someone will ask…

Uncovering my limiting beliefs.
Here I am, writing my first few lines about this fresh path my friend and I decided to take. We created this blog together because of the great interest we both have in the field of self-development, Coaching, and in my case Neuro-Linguistic Programming and even the Law of Attraction (well yes, but not in…
