    U epizodi 50 smo razgovarali sa Anom Karabasil, NLP trenerom iz Beograda. Ona je podelila sa nama neke od njenih prvih strahova koji su se javili kada je pomišljala da započne svoj privatni posao. Malo nam je objasnila i približila metodologiju i svrhu samog NLP, kao prakse koja je postala popularna u našoj zemlji poslednjih decenija. Razgovarale smo o tome šta je naša svrha, kako da je pronađemo i šta da radimo sa njom, jednom kada je osvojimo i prihvatimo kao naš poziv. Dotakle smo se i teme ženskog principa i ženskog preduzetništva. Ana je prenele svoje stavove u vezi sa ženskim principom kao i zašto je važno da ga prihvatimo, unedrimo. Na kraju smo razgovarale o odgovornosti i preuzimanju odgovornosti za naše živote i naše poslove. Razgovarale smo i o tome zašto je važno da shvatimo gde smo, gde pripadamo, koju ulogu igramo u međuljudskim odnosima i zašto je važno da ne budemo ni žrtva ni progonitelj ni spasilac, nego da živimo naše jedinstvene i autentične živote.
