Spiritualizing Your Learning Experience: French Meditation
— Meditation is one of the best ways to improve your French speaking skills, according to Angel, a French learning coach. This meditation was created to help you relax and open your mind to learning French. This audio begins with relaxation and subconscious programming in English before moving into a short meditation in French. No matter what language you hear, his meditations help you stay grounded and open your mind to new ideas. You will also be able to think in French and understand French directly without having to translate it. Immediately after the guided meditation, while you are still relaxed and focused, Angel recommends practicing French Affirmations to enhance its effect. Valeria interviews Angel Pretot — He is a French learning coach and online entrepreneur. Through his coaching and courses, he helps English speakers learn French fast, become fluent and live their best, international life. After a master's degree and 15 years of teaching and coaching French learners, he is still obsessed with improving the methods he uses. He loves seeing his students learn faster and better, and create wonderful lives for themselves. He now lives in Vienna, Austria, and he has been through all the expat struggles too. Besides that, he's an actual Frenchman who loves cheese, coming from a monolingual French family who's still wondering what's wrong with him, moving abroad, learning five languages to fluency and running an online business rather than just getting a job!

Despite what you have been told or programmed to believe, you are so much more powerful than you think. You can release the blocks by aligning body, mind, and soul. In order to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and to live a life of peace, joy, love, and abundance, you must overcome your limiting beliefs and programming that have kept you from being your authentic self. Valeria interviews Tamara Goodstein — she is a certified Intuitive and Holistic Life Coach trained in the Love & Authenticity methodology.

Her experience started off in the corporate world and evolved to working to help and serve others through community service and now life coaching. Tamara does not coach from the mind, but rather intuitively from the heart. She works with clients, primarily adults, most of whom are parents, to help them shift issues from their head to their heart, by helping them to remove limiting beliefs, programming or blocks that prevent them from fulfilling their true potential and living the lives that they choose to live. She helps clients to address their issues holistically by looking at their body, mind and soul. Through discussion and intuitive questioning, she guides clients to explore their thoughts, their emotions and their energy in order to find the answers that already lie within them in a space of love, acceptance, confidentiality and security, free from any and all judgement. She helps clients that are prepared to choose growth, healing and change in their life to heal and to bring forth their innate gifts and magic and to live their truth and their purpose. By helping parents to create shifts in their lives, they will see their children shift as well. Her focus in coaching is on conscious parenting, which involves parenting or re-parenting our Inner Child as well as our children; working on accepting and integrating our shadow with our light; and bringing balance and harmony of the divine feminine and divine masculine energies within ourselves. Throughout her life journey, she has come to realize that working on these aspects, acknowledging them rather than suppressing them, and eventually healing them is absolutely crucial to assist us during this time of great transformation on Earth as we shift to a higher consciousness, individually, as well as collectively. In addition to coaching, Tamara is also certified in several energy healing modalities including Reiki and Rahanni Celestial and she is a multidimensional channeler and activator of Light Language, a frequency technology that brings through powerful light codes of healing, love, truth and wisdom.

Abusive Relationships: Nothing Will Change Until You Change It
— Shannon has been a lifelong sailor, and dense fog is one of the most terrifying and mystifying things sha has ever experienced. It can settle in so gradually that you are not even aware your vision is being obscured, or descend on you so quickly that the sudden complete bleakness is paralyzing. It's just water vapor after all, what could possibly be so serious about that? But when this happens to you out on the ocean; when the reality hits that you are completely immersed in dense fog, the panic is real. Your head pounds, your heart races, your thoughts spin, and you frantically try to grab onto something of substance. But there is nothing, in all directions, but this thick, dense water vapor; nothing but fog. You can't move for fear of running into something, and even staying still is not safe. This frozen state doesn't help you get out of the fog, but feels like your only option. So you sit and wait for the fog to lift. In the fog of a hurtful relationship, this feeling of paralysis, anxiety, depression, confusion, disorientation, not knowing who you are, or how you got to this dark place in your life, is also real. The Fear, Obligation, and Guilt crept into your relationship so stealthily that you didn't notice it; the games, the pressures, the gaslighting, the bits of anger, the confusion, the disorientation, all of it was just a bit of water vapor that was easily dismissed. Abusive relationships are not an act of nature like ocean fog; they are the result of intentional tactics of manipulation, and control. In the early stages it is hard to see this for what it is. Unfortunately, the fog of an abusive relationship is not going to just lift; nothing will change until you change it. So how do you find your bearings, push past this paralysis, clear away your vision, begin to heal the trauma, and rebuild your life? Valeria interviews Shannon Petrovich — the author of "Out of the FOG, Into the CLEAR : Journaling to Help You Heal from Toxic Relationships" Shannon earned her Bachelor's degree from Bowdoin College, and her Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut. She earned her clinical licenses in Social Work and Substance Abuse Counseling, and is a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. Her new book, Out of the FOG Into the CLEAR, Journaling to Help You Heal from Toxic Relationships has attained Amazon Bestseller status in Self Help for Abuse, Codependency, and Personal Transformation. On her YouTube channel Therapist Talks, she shares insights, information, perspectives, and strategies on a wide range of relationship and mental health topics. With a very trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, she seeks to help people see the old stories that are in their way, and to fully become the person they were created to be.
