We’re excited to kick off our third season with a wisdom-filled episode coming to you from Wales, UK. Christine engages in a meaningful conversation with Derek Owen (JD), who is not just a guest but a significant influence in her own healing journey. As a Sui and Karuna Reiki Master, Derek guides individuals in reconnecting with their intuition and nurturing self-love, enabling them to heal from within. Through his insights, personal anecdotes, and experiences, he shares what true healing entails—highlighting that it all begins with ourselves. He encourages us to challenge limiting beliefs, reflect on ourselves with kindness, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and presence. His words are an offering of clarity and renewal— one that lingers long after the conversation ends.

¿Alguna vez has vivido el final de un ciclo, relación o proyecto compartido con una persona que te importa profundamente?¿Te has preguntado cómo honrar algo que llega a su final, sin perder la conexión, aunque duela?

En este “bonus episode” Christine se sienta con sus amigas y colegas Nana y Martha, con quiénes compartió casi una década el proyecto musical Passiflora, para sincerarse sobre cómo navegaron las aguas turbulentas de la salida de Chris del proyecto, mientras guiaban un viaje de un grupo de 20 mujeres por las mágicas Dolomitas, en Italia.🇮🇹✨

Es una conversación emotiva sobre la honestidad, las rupturas y el poder del perdón.

Gracias a todes por escuchar, hasta la tercera temporada!

Warning: this episode openly discusses suicide.

In our last episode of this season, we had the opportunity to speak to Mercedes Kostucki, a Belgian trans woman who shares her raw and courageous story of transformation. Mercedes openly discusses her journey through gender transition and the struggles she faced, including suicidal thoughts, as she fought to live authentically in a world that often rejects those who don't conform.

We dive into the emotional and psychological challenges of transitioning and the weight of family and social expectations. Mercedes speaks with vulnerability about the darkest moments of her life and the hard won path that eventually led her to self-acceptance. A testament to resilience and the courage to embrace who you truly are, her story speaks to the healing power of intimacy and connection.
