Beautiful Ghosts

Beautiful people, after one of the most challenging and amazing year in human history, we are wrapping up season one. This episode is in honor and recognition to all the amazing guests who decided to generously share their wisdom with you and us. And it is also a big thanks to you. Our mission is far from accomplished and we will be back. We wanted to say that with this first season, our idea was to help all the silent and reflective souls that cry and wonder in isolation. Because we are one of those too and believe that deep down, even when people resist it, we all are. We wanted to create this podcast to help any/all of you realize that we are all the same: we have the same questions, the same fears, the same doubts, the same existential anguish, the same longing for connecting deeply with others...even when it doesn't seem that way and you end up twisting your mind in what feels like mad mind holes. Thank you and we will see you soon.

Today we have a cool Spanish Latin blooded superstar, Dani. Daniel Fernandez, a talented and successful Auckland based actor, join us to discuss what really means to embrace yourself. He shares with us the process he had to go through to accept, embrace, like and be proud of his Spanish personality in an Anglo-Saxon culture.

Ageing is the process of accumulating life experiences. All, good and bad experiences, get tucked in really closely in our wrinkles (aka personality). The process of maturing our personality and our body can be quiet unsettling if we haven't reflect about who we really are and what life is about. The experience of life itself keeps evolving within ourselves even when we are completely unaware of when and where a belief, a perspective, a value or even a dressing style got transformed or shifted inside of us. Scientists, philosophers, psychologists, doctors and everyone in between have been studying the process of ageing since for ever, and there is clear stages in our lives that could be framed within a range of a certain age. But we wanted to go beyond the strict age transformations and took the conversation to the core of this ageing process. In this episode, we discuss how "maturing" has been hitting (or caress) us. We go to reflect on how much better life can actually become with time, just for the simple fact that the older you become "small things" (life itself) touches (shakes) you much, much deeper.

Evolution...Welcome to this juicy episode of Beautiful Ghosts podcast! We often hear people and ourselves saying things like "this never used to be this way", "before things were better", " things are getting worse". But is it really this way? or is it that we are constantly bombarded with media messages about the catastrophes, pain and chaos that "maybe always" was out there in the world? Of course we live in times of crazy uncertainty and any positivity about human evolution might sound almost naive. However, some of us believe that things are actually getting better. We can only compare the things that were not possible only 5 or 10 years ago to know that there is a strong positive evolution happening too. The media is quiet reluctant to show you the amazing things that humans are creating to make things simpler, cleaner, better, kinder, friendlier, just because it doesn't sell, it doesn't grab the twisted attention of our ego looking for negativity and separation.

Today we have the honor to have with us one of the deepest man we know: David Sullivan. We discuss with David the key stress management strategies and the importance in building a strong nervous system that can be capable to cope with the challenging situations that life throws at us. Stress is part of being human. We know that there is a positive and a negative stress. One helps us to push beyond our own limits and the other one pushes us to limit ourselves more. We can see the same stressful situation from different perspectives. It will all depend on our past experiences and our default or learnt stress responses. Regardless of how stressful a situation is, we can go through it in many different ways. We can go all nuts and experience extreme anxiety or suffocating despair, or we can get still and observe the waves of emotions as a silent and calm witness. It will all depend in how well we have prepared our nervous system but also in our foundational beliefs. David Sullivan a top Feldenkrais Method practitioner who has helped thousands of people to recover from all sort of psychological and physiological conditions. David is a testament to the fact that when we learn an alternative to our habitual pattern, the pain cycle can be broken. To learn more about David Sullivan's story and practice, go to his site www.movetoimprove.com. You can also get in touch with him via email david@movetoimprove.com or if you lucky to be in Auckland (NZ) you should go and book a slot with him.

This topic has bring fiery disparities between the hosts, being Mariana the only faithful advocate and practitioner of "F" swearing. In this episode we center our attention in the gut and automatic reaction that swearing might have in people who do not like it, almost find this type of vocabulary offensive, rude, UN-classy. We also the discuss with our loyal swearing female host the importance that a swearer might give to the potential loss to connect with people who find cursing almost a sin. Recent studies have put the swearing under a different light. There is plenty of articles out there that "apparently" probe that a person who swears regularly tends to be more honest and transparent. And Mariana agrees. "When you're honestly expressing your emotions with powerful words, then you're going to come across as more honest," said Timothy Jay T, professor emeritus of psychology at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, who has studied swearing for more than 40 years. (read full article https://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/5-reasons-swearing-is-a-sign-of-intelligence-helps-manage-pain-and-more/collection_c295311b-3bf6-5055-b0dd-c0ff0b214062.html#2) Swearing is positively correlated with extroversion and is a defining feature of a Type A personality. It is negatively correlated with conscientiousness, agreeableness, sexual anxiety, and religiosity. Regardless of the thesis, theories and blogs dedicated to swearing, Mariana wanted to make sure all listeners understood that the type of cursing we are talking about is the classy type. Classy swearing has a lot to do with being able to pick the right cursing word, for the right moment, to describe the exact emotion or enhance a story. A good swearing is a social skill, like picking the right outfit for a specific occasion.

Is the concept and practice of monogamy changing overtime? As the amazing and wise Esther Perel says it Monogamy is not anymore "We will be together till death tear us apart", it is now more like " We will be together till it last". This game of words have immeasurable connotations on regards of a union between two people.  Even though that we are all looking for a true connection, stability, trust and butterflies, for a lot of people relationships became as disposable as swiping left or right and sometimes it seems that the hard work that people used to put into their monogamous relationships is not here anymore.  The absence of reasonable effort to make a relationship work in the long term could also be blamed to the apparent smorgasbord of choices and promises that the dating apps seem to have in offer (this is of course a trick of the mind and it could be dangerous to the immature or unaware person). Esther Perel also brings hot perspectives on affairs and why they do happen. She says that usually the person that had an affair or who is tempted to have one, is actually bored of the person they have become in their long term current relationship. The third person seems to awake a "new" or "true" self to that person and that's why it gets so confusing.  We close these notes by saying that monogamy is a decision:The decision to chose over and over again the same person to share our lives with.

Today we talk about a special beautiful ghost: loving yourself, being real, being you. How much or in which ways do you change who you really are because you think it will be on your benefit, or simply because you have an unconscious fear that if you show who you are you might lose something or someone? Let's be honest here, we all do a bit of that. Some times is a very smart thing to do because instead of "changing" who you are, you are actually adapting to new information, or a new environment or a situation. However, this episode is dedicated more to the parts of ourselves that we hide or not disclose completely for fear of rejection from our peers, family or work environments. So, who are you really? What happens in your body when you are actually betraying your own nature? How often does that happen? The "being real stuff" is very important to have a fulfilling life and becoming aware of when you are not respecting who you really are is one of the most important daily practice you should add to your "waking up" repertoire.

Jealousy is an often overwhelming feeling of insecurity about a potential loss. The loss to lose attention, love, company or affection from someone. Jealousy is one of those very uncomfortable and quiet destructive feelings. Jealousy usually is followed by a strong taste of betrayal, bitterness about people and a lack of confidence in the world in general. Humans have experienced jealousy since the beginning of the race.It does not have an expiry date so it is more than worth it to understand its causes and remedies. Is jealousy all about our own delusional entitlement to own someone's companies and choices? How can we even actually consider to think that someone is some sort of our emotional property? These gut wrenching emotions really are telling us a lot about ourselves (self-worth, security and "knowiness" of who we are etc...) but also, jealousy can tell us a lot about the people we chose to share our lives with, this of course, if they seem to get a "high" from our humanness jealousy reactions. The topic of jealousy is very entangled with trust. Trust in ourselves and in the people in our lives. We really believe that trust is the basic ingredient for all and any relationship. trust is what we should aim for first and for all. A relationship without trust is already an unbroken grey seed which it is doomed to perish in the toxicity of its own soil.

Today we have the honor to have with us the unique and amazing David Nottage. We truly recommend to watch this episode on our you tube channel, because this amazing man is for sure a stand up comedian, who had us three laughing throughout the whole episode. David is an Australian born New Zealander, who has come a long way in the past twenty plus years from someone who was too scared to speak in front of a group of four people without a massive anxiety attack, to being a dynamic presenter who eclipsed over 20,000 Toastmasters to win the ultimate pinnacle in public speaking, the World Championship for Toastmasters International. David has been actively involved with presentation skills for over 28 years and his ambition was to use his knowledge and skills to help people to be more confident in their Business Presentations and Communication Skills. David talk to us about the basic skills we need to be able to own who we are and what we want to say on stage. One of the most important points he makes is that people tend to try to memorize a speech. He believes that if a person goes to a public presentation to tell a story, the whole brain is not anymore thinking but imagining, putting the person in a different place from the start and opening a door to a deeper connection with the people listening. David founded Torque Business celebrating over 20 years of helping people with their presentations. To get in touch with David or to find out more about his company's services and training programs go to Torque Ltd www.torquebusiness.co.nz To listen to more of our episodes go to www.beautifulghosts.org/episodes And please, don't be shy and boo us anytime at boo@beautifulghosts.org

What is to be judgemental of others or of certain situations? Is it to be overly critical? Is it to jump to conclusions very quickly without really knowing all the facts? Is being judgemental another face of the negative inner critic who believes he knows it all? Are some cultures more judgemental than others? Your beautiful hosts come from Argentina, a culture that makes judgements about everything to be judged on earth. However, we all changed completely our way of looking at people and things. There is a lot of truth in saying that people that tend to judge more harshly, judge themselves the same way. Usually those type of people tend to be bitter and unhappy. With experience, an open mind and age, we become less judgemental because our awareness starts to focus more in how we want our lives to be, without taking much notice of how others decide to live theirs. And you? Are you judgemental? To listen to more episodes go to www.beautifulghosts.org Boo us honestly and directly to boo@beautifulghosts.org, we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

When we experience any physical pain our awareness starts to focus only on the part of our body that is hurting. It is almost like life stops and we can't think about anything else. Some people go through physical pain better than others, simply by knowing that the pain is or can be temporary. Others, like Mariana, go to the despair mode and want the pain to go away straight away. In this episode we discuss the correlation in how the personal life perspective or general type of approach of the person to life in general, gets repeated or mirrored in how they deal with physical pain. Physical pain can be sometimes chronic, like Pablo who experiences chronic knee pain pretty much everyday. This condition doesn't push him to despair or feelings of frustration. On another angle, when you do your research about the "emotional meaning" of physical symptoms you can also focus all your attention not in the pain but in the message that the body might be trying to tell you. Basically, instead of taking a pill to ease the pain, we can work in our emotional body to free the emotions that are triggering it. When the emotional "problem" or "block" goes away it is proven that the physiology of the body changes and stops sending the signals of pain. The condition goes away. Regardless of what you believe, it is interesting how the solution to the physical pains we might be experiencing are dealt with depending on our life perspectives in general.

Hypnosis is an induced mental state of increased focus and attention while Hypnotherapy is a type of psychotherapy that is used to treat all sort of conditions. To talk about this amazing technique we invited the only, deep and amazing Eve Charles, who experienced an incredible transformative experience after she attended one hypnosis session with a therapist to overcome her postpartum depression. She tells us about how we can become the person we want to be by unlocking whatever it is that is needed to make such personal change.

The impact of social media in our society is without a doubt HUGE. It plays such a big part in our lives and without us knowing is sucking up so much of our time that we thought to discuss the topic and share our perspectives on this. We truly honor the all day and every day connection that the digital world can provide these days. Our podcast exists thanks to this new virtual reality. We are able to spread our noble mission in helping others through the social media channels. We can also stay connected to our people and feel like we are never alone...but is this true? Does social media actually helps with interpersonal connections or is its digital "non real" aspect the real cause for an increase in isolation and loneliness? We know that social media is the cause of a lot of anxiety through its over-use, detrimental comparison with the life of others, boring and plain narcissism that feeds the unrealistic individualism of society. How can we avoid some of these detrimental online media effects? Is there a good way to use social media?

What a guest we have today!! Wayne is one of the hosts of the podcast called Florida men in Florida men. Cameron, Josh Wayne have been working together for almost 2 years bringing to you the Florida State's latest stories and news with an intelligent upbeat touch. We got the privilege to connect with this smart and funny trio through twitter. And it was Wayne who put his hand up to be our guest today. This episode is very special to us because it was the first time we got to talk to Wayne after an exchange of messages in social media. He is warm, real and a sensitive soul that has not fear to share his emotional journey with three strangers and you. We truly feel we have gained a new cool friend. Wayne was the perfect person to talk about the different ways in which we could add more joy into our lives. He knows the importance of a humorous injection in a daily basis to be able to have a better life experience. We believe that people who have humor as one of the tools to cope with the sour hits that life throws are very special. They know what darkness feels like. We believe that people who have humor as one of the tools to cope with the sour hits that life throws are very special. They know what darkness feels like. Their ability to spontaneously bring a quirky perspective, comment or input to a situation, actually comes from the deep observation of the world in general. This episode has been a gift from Wayne to us and you. We encourage you to listen our guest's podcast: Florida men on Florida men podcast episodes. You can go to www.fmofm.com

Here in Beautiful Ghosts podcast, we also experience conflict. The good news is that we know that conflict is a very amazing opportunity to get to know each other and grow. We also thought the conflict raised as a test from life to see if we do what we preach: vulnerability, openness, forgiveness, honesty, empathy, compassion. This is a special episode for us. This "little thing" happened in one of the thousand conversations we have weekly (sometimes daily) about this passionate podcast venture we have embarked on. Now looking back, there was many "little" things that were piling up in our insides but we did not express it at the right time or we thought it was not worth to bring it up. We were wrong. The "little thing" ended up exploiting in a sort of "out of the blue" kind of way (well, apparently they quiet often do) and it left us confused and a bit lost about how to go about it, because in our short relationship a conflict or differences in opinion never presented itself, and the ones that did were always resolved in a loving and mature manner. We know it or not, in the back of our minds or hearts, we always have an opinion on someone's behavior or personality. When the things we don't like about the other person get piled up over time or combined with weaknesses or soft spots on the other, and we do not voice this "discomforts" at the right time, you got it: illogical and erratic responses or reactions. We know this has happened to all our listeners because is fucking human, and by bringing up our own "dirty laundry" we believe we will help you to be courageous enough to speak your mind when you need to. We wanted to share it with you because it truly made us understand each other more, but also, grow to a much deeper level the respect, admiration, love and deep friendship we share. Come on, you know you want it, boo us and tell us anything you want us to discuss on our next episode at boo@beautifulghosts.org To listen to more episodes go to www.beautifulghosts.org/episodes

Yes, Danijel take 2, our deepest sequel. We brought Danijel again because we love his deep and unlimited perspective on life. We discuss if mind is consciousness or if we experience more mind when we have lost the capability of mastering the focus of our consciousness. Danijel brings some very juicy insides on the monkey mind too, saying that the mind is actually consciousness playing the part of mind. Or put into other words, it is consciousness focused on the analytical mind. How do we get to the stage where we are more and more conscious in every day and in every encounter or task we experience in out daily life? Danijel speaks about that the only way is making the decision to go there. You are the driver of the consciousness and by becoming aware of where the focus of your consciousness is at any given time, you lead it or guide it to your inner world. This episode is for all the people searching for a relief in their identification with their own extremely active mind and it will allow you to understand that it is only you 'in there" and you are the only one that can make the decision to change old neurological pathways and learnt behaviors and re-gain the power in directing your consciousness. To get in touch with Danijel, please contact us at boo@beautifulghosts.org. For more booing episodes go to www.beautifulghosts.org/episodes

There's a belief out there that an addiction is inescapable or something that you might struggle for life. Rodrigo talks to us about the common psychological patterns that tie us to a particular addiction. He brings a breeze of fresh air by dissipating the cloud of fear that some of us might have about quitting something we know is not good for us. An addiction can include a bad habit, drugs, alcohol and any other substance or behavior that might be somehow driving our lives. We discuss the fact that acknowledging that you're addicted to something and actually wanting to change is the first step. Rodrigo brings this topic a lot of light, because he thinks the solution is a daily practice of not being an addict. By monitoring this practice we will discover underlying patterns, beliefs, emotions that are instant triggers for such addictive pattern. We will also be able to recognized that our lack of resilience and/or psychological tools is the real ghost. We are all addictive to something, in different ways and degrees, but we all are. And it is quiet good to Rodrigo say that a relapse is part and not the end of the process. We also bring a huge point: is addiction to the mobile phone or social media recognized as such by the "psycological/psychiatric" manuals? Rodrigo Ramalho (MD, PhD), originally from Paraguay and now living in New Zealand, is a psychiatrist who specialises in rural mental health and addiciton. He completed hia Phd at the University of Auckland where he now teaches. His teachings, research, and publications aim to contribute to the development of person and community-centred, ground-up, and culturally and contextually responsive health policies and health care.

What is to have a healthy relationship with money? Is money the ticket for happiness, freedom, self-love?

Today we have the privilege to discuss the meaning of physical and emotional trauma with David Sullivan, a top Feldenkrais Method practitioner who has helped thousands of people to recover from all sort of psychological and physiological conditions. He defines trauma in a straight to the point kind of way saying trauma is any "overwhelming experience". This experience might have been a one time event like a car accident or it can also be a series of uncomfortable events that get repeated over a period of time like chronic illness. David shares his wisdom on how and why we can store this experiences or physical/emotional past traumatic events in our bodies. He shares with us important tools or processes we can follow or start executing to recover and heal from trauma. David is a testament to the fact that when we learn an alternative to our habitual pattern, the pain cycle can be broken.

What is emotional intelligence and why is it important? Emotional intelligence or EQ is related to how well you understand and manage your emotions. An emotional intelligent person is able to deal with his/her own emotions in positive ways by relieving stress, communicating effectively, empathizing with others, overcoming challenges without panicking etc....basically someone that tends "to lose it". So is emotional intelligence a crucial attribute to success, leadership and a happier life experience? Is emotional intelligence the key ingredient in the cake of "real connection" with others? Can emotional intelligence be taught or is it more a life experience process? Thank you for supporting the best self improvement podcast on earth. We are more than thrilled to be able to call our podcast an "international podcast".

Are you aware of the habits that are getting on the way of your goals? How easy is to change our bad habits? Why for some people seems to be very easy and for others is extremely hard? Or is actually all a game we have to learn to play with our will? We also discuss the power of yearly goals or "goals lists". Can our yearly goals be detrimental to be able to stay present and live the "right now", or are they actually a healthy map for our focus?

Trying to find self-love? Are you confused about what self-love actually is or how it feels? What is self-love? Is it an actual feeling or a new age spiritual self-indulgent bla bla? Our podcast is always dancing around this topic. To be searching for a more rewarding life is the actual beginning of finding it. If your impulse was to listen to this episode, then you are a seeker. So we brought you the perfect person that might be able to have some answers and strategies to really understand what self-love is. Danijiel brings us incredibly deep insights about the meaning of self love and we promise you that you won't be the same person after listening to what he has to say. He comes from the perspective that every moment you can choose self-love by deciding to not listen to the analytical mind. He considers the mind to be another tool in your tool kit and NOT YOUR ONLY tool, and most importantly he fully embraces the concept that YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND. This episode is a masterclass on existential matters, on how you could you approach life to have a more rewarding existential experience. We are extremely excited to be able to publish such an amazing honest conversation. Danijiel will be back with us very shortly because we want to keep "picking his brain" about it all (maybe more life his consciousness!). Keep an eye for the next talk with this unique "Existential Master-chef". If you have any suggestions on topics or guest let your shyness go and message us at boo@beautifulghosts.org

We are all humans, and we all behave according to our beliefs. What role play the unconscious beliefs in our ability to feel free? But what kind of freedom are we talking about in this episode? There is different types of freedom: freedom of speech, creative freedom, relationship freedom. However, this podcast episode is about our personal freedom, a sense of "free-ness" that we can feel or experience in the inside. In these times, we could say that we can decide ANYTHING about our lives, so why many of us and in particular circumstances still feel like there is no choices or what is worse, we feel trapped by choices we have actually made ourselves? Listen and get right into this topic. If you like this episode, like our link, subscribe to our you tube channel and podcast platforms.

what is happiness in life? what do we need to be happy? Is happiness the right word or is it more contentment? Is Happiness an emotional state or a mental state? We all want to feel joy, satisfaction, contentment, enthusiasm and fulfillment. But do we get there by luck or by a focused and daily inner work? How do we bring more happiness into our life? What tools do we have? Will meditation help? or do we need to immerse ourselves more towards the awareness of our own beliefs and states of mind?

Boo us to send us topics to discuss or to put yourself forward to become a guest in this honest podcast by emailing boo@beautifulghosts.org www.beautifulghosts.org

Nico, Pablo and Mariana have brought to you a hot topic for the right now Xmas season. Your Beautiful Ghosts podcast hosts discuss the fears that we all could have around our own human mortality and the hopes ( or illusions?) that some people have about becoming immortal. Are you comfortable with your mortality? Is there a huge difference between the concept of human death from a scientific point of view and the one described by the spiritual or religious beliefs? How do you feel about immortality? Is it actually possible to become immortal? To be scared of death is very human...Are you afraid of death? or your life became so painfully dark at one point that death actually felt like an exit to your suffering? Come on, don't be shy! Boo us topics to discuss or let us know that you want to talk to us live and become our guest at boo@beautifulghosts.org

Beautiful Ghosts podcast's hosts Pablo, Nico and Mariana discuss a very important topic: Regrets. Are regrets worth having? Is there things that were done to you by others, or things that you have done in the past that appear to come back to you in the form of flashbacks? Is it healthy to bury them or lie to ourselves about their existance within ourselves? Of course not, so how can we actually let go? Is there a recipe to stop the non sense internal torture? How can we start to look at regrets under different glasses? If we take the veil, maybe we can start looking at them as only mistakes...and mistakes are always there to teach us and improve our lives. Regret is a beautiful ghost and a wise person said it very nicely:  "Regret is such a short word...and yet it stretches on forever" -Ranata Suzuki

In this BG's podcast episode we share with you a very honest conversation with Cristobal. Cristobal got the ADHD diagnosis very early in his life. He tells us how it is to live with this medical condition, how and when he got his diagnosis, what are ADHD general symptoms and triggers, and also which tools he uses to deal with this condition. Throughout this podcast episode, you might feel that some symptoms or mental patterns are actually very well-known to you, which it might raise a lot of questions about this medical diagnosis. There is some very interesting finds around ADHD as a "medical condition", specially the period in time when the medical world add it to the "mental condition"category and the stage in a person's life when the condition is usually diagnosed. Thank you for listening and say Boo to us at boo@beautifulghosts.org

Beautiful Ghosts podcasters and you tubers! Welcome to our Episode 22. “I forgive but I don't forget” is the phrase that opened this unforgivable discussion about forgiveness. Do you forgive? Do you forget? Most people have things done to them for which they have to decide whether to forgive and whether to forget. Sometimes is even easier to forgive others than to forgive ourselves. Sometimes we are the ones that need to ask forgiveness. We believe this episode about forgiveness will blow your mind, but if it doesn't, please forgive us. Write to us about forgiveness or any other topic. Boo us at boo@beautifulghosts.org

Today your honest and "not scared to show vulnerability" hosts bring "expectations" as the central subject of their discussion. Is it good to have expectations? Is it good to have high-expectations? Or is our inner voice with its constant doubts and fears the downer to all our expectations and dreams? Are you scared of dreaming or expecting because you focus more in the absence of what you will actually love to attain?

Beautiful ghosts chasers, today we have a hot hot and wise woman as our guests.  Please welcome our loving, powerhouse, quirky and smart Ambika. She joins us to discuss a very human topic: Success at work. What is "success at work"?  Does this success have something to do with being ourselves more than the actual role? What is stopping some of us to be ourselves at work? Can we pin-point where exactly becomes uncomfortable to be ourselves in the working environment? Are we being the same person at work and at home? Is it normal to feel we have a different persona in the different roles in our lives? Is it possible to be real at work or the working environment is a "constant pretending to be who we are not"? Is the personality of your boss a key factor of letting an honest and open culture to flourish in the work place? Is the lack of hope on our power to make a difference a key factor of employees disengagement in general? Is this lack of hope the reason that keeps people searching for a new job/ position? Or is our sense of worthiness the key to open the true door to a successful working experience?

Today we talk about loneliness.  Pablo bring us the "human evolutionary" perspective to open up the topic, what provides a very good cushion of understanding of why "loneliness" is a worldwide spread feeling.  Is being alone the same as being with yourself?  What is the difference between loneliness and solitude, and between loneliness and isolation?  We also touch on relationships and the reason why some people prefer to be with someone to avoid or fill the void that they feel by being alone.  It is very human to feel alone, even when we are surrounded by plenty of people. We really hope this episode brings you some clarity to the way you might have felt or are feeling and, in particular, we truly hope this conversation helps you bring compassion towards yourself.  As always, if you want to talk to Mariana, Pablo and Nico, boomail anytime and from anywhere at boo@beautifulghosts.org

So, how do we prepare ourselves for a difficult conversation? Do we need to work on a plan to set us "right", mentally and emotionally? Is a planned strategy the key to a positive outcome?

Hello Beautiful Listeners! Today is a special episode! For the first time your hosts gathered in the same room to record an episode for you. We decided to talk about depression. What is it? Why everyone seems to be talking about it more and more? Why a lot of us seem to be diagnosed with depression more and more? Is depression hitting our generation more than past times? or is it that we know more about it all because of our digital information sharing platforms explosion? You will hear that for this episode, Mariana does a special introduction as a disclaimer. We are not therapist, psychologist or emotional health gurus and by no means this conversation should be taken as a conversation between specialists.  We are real, normal people trying to spread the word that we are all the same: humans chasing our own ghosts.

Today our Beautiful Hosts bring a key topic: uncertainty. What is uncertainty? Why do we do crazy things to avoid the fear that uncertainty tend to bring to the party as its best friend? Why do we get scared of uncertainty when the majority of people are always constantly searching to thrive in their lives and we all know that to be able to thrive change is necessary and part of the process of growth.

Welcome to our Beautiful chasing of ghosts. Today we discuss the role that psychology could play in our lives. Could psychological sessions led by professionals who study the human psyche, or even books written by these experts, be a key element in our personal growth? Why in some cultures, going to sessions with a psychologist or psychotherapist is more accepted than in others? What is the impact of understanding the root of our negative thoughts, beliefs or patterns of behavior? Is understanding or realizing the magical code to free ourselves from scary ghosts? We wish you a beautiful ghostly listening!...and yes, sorry about the beginning, Pablo always wants to make sure you know how his voice sounds like :)

Today we have our first guest appearance. We have been honored with the wisdom of Phil, a very deep man who courageously agreed to take part in our conversations.   In this episode we talk about vulnerability, the tendency of us humans to avoid sharing our feelings, when and why we feel comfortable to share them, middle life crisis, the relationship men have with their own emotions and more.

We all have experienced or are experiencing some degree of anxiety in our lives. Anxiety can be triggered by different reasons such as perfectionism, chronic stress or illnesses, post-traumatic disorder, fear of change, personal loss, need to control the outer world, or for a particular temporary circumstance such as going through a divorce, changing countries etc. Anxiety can vary on different degrees of intensity, from heart palpitations to panic attacks. So how do we cope with anxiety? Is there always an unconscious past experience, belief or inherited fear that we are unaware of? What is the purpose or role of this emotion if we start from the basis that every feeling/experience in life has a purpose?

Hello ghosts chasers! Today we discuss self-acceptance. What really is to accept ourselves? Is it to accept our humanness? Our flaws? Our weaknesses? Do we have an ideal version of ourselves which might be getting on the way to our full acceptance? Us, your Beautiful Ghosts hosts, believe that self-acceptance is key to live a much more joyful life and that it is key to light up your path to inner peace and fulfillment. 

In today's episode we wanted to go deep into the topic of intuition. Were we born with it or is it a skill that we learn? Is it a survival instinct or more a mental pattern recognition? The discussion took a different twist this time and instead of our usual and calm acceptance and consideration from each other's opinion, the conversation takes a heated Latin flavor. Listen and find out how Latin we get.
