Hoy, en La Diez Capital Radio, entrevistamos a Verónica Fernández de Córdoba, consejera de la histórica Bodega Marqués de Riscal. Una casa fundada en 1858 en Elciego, en plena Rioja Alavesa, por Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga, quien revolucionó el vino riojano al inspirarse en los métodos franceses de Burdeos. Desde sus inicios, Marqués de Riscal apostó por la innovación: incorporó variedades francesas como Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot o Malbec junto a las uvas autóctonas —Tempranillo y Graciano—, y contó con el asesoramiento del maestro bodeguero Jean Pineau. Su apuesta por la calidad quedó patente en 1895, cuando se convirtió en la primera bodega no francesa en recibir un Diploma de Honor en la Exposición Internacional de Burdeos, un reconocimiento excepcional para la época. A lo largo de su historia, la bodega ha introducido avances que marcaron un antes y un después en Rioja: barricas de roble de 225 litros, malla metálica en las botellas para evitar fraudes, fermentación en conos de madera o el almacenamiento en horizontal. Su visión vanguardista también la llevó, en 1972, a expandirse a Rueda, en Valladolid, donde impulsó decisivamente la denominación de origen que hoy es referente en vinos blancos. Actualmente, Marqués de Riscal produce vinos bajo la D.O.Ca. Rioja, la D.O. Rueda y V.T. Castilla y León, convirtiéndose en un auténtico gigante enológico con presencia internacional. Pero Marqués de Riscal no solo es vino: es también cultura, arquitectura y experiencia. En 2006 abrió las puertas de la célebre “Ciudad del Vino”, un espacio único que fusiona tradición y modernidad, con hotel, museo, bodegas, spa y restaurante. La joya arquitectónica del complejo es el hotel diseñado por Frank Gehry, creador del Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao, cuya estética curvilínea y vanguardista se ha convertido en un icono del enoturismo mundial. Hoy, Marqués de Riscal exporta a más de 110 países y produce millones de botellas al año, manteniéndose fiel a su origen pero con una mirada global. Con Verónica Fernández de Córdoba hablaremos de esa evolución, de los retos del sector, del futuro del vino español y del papel de la bodega como referente internacional.

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, Jessica Rose shares all about the brand-new Diploma in Wax Jewellery. This is the fifth online one-year Diploma to be created. Whether you're completely new to wax or an experienced jeweller ready to dive into wax jewellery, this episode gives you a full behind-the-scenes look at what to expect from this year-long programme. Jess walks you through how the Diploma works, from the flexible weekly time commitment to the unique 'wax to metal' process where you'll carve your designs, send them to a caster, and then learn the essential skills to clean up and finish your final pieces. Unlike other Diplomas, students only submit their work once at the end of the course, giving plenty of time to refine each project. You'll also hear how termly check-ins support accountability and how every student is paired with a professional wax jeweller as a mentor for the year. Jess explores the wide variety of projects and techniques you'll learn: from foundational wax carving and building shaped signet rings, to stone setting in wax, cast-in-place techniques, soft wax sculpting, the Mitsuro Hikime method, build-up techniques with a heat pen, and even optional sand casting for those with the tools at home. Jess also introduces you to the expert tutor team, including master stone setters and specialist wax jewellers who will guide you through each step. You'll get a clear picture of the year, from September through to July, and discover how the final project helps you create a cohesive mini collection to kickstart or elevate your jewellery business. If you'd like to see examples of the projects, ask questions, or explore whether this diploma is right for you, join us for the live Open Day on Wed 3rd Dec 2025 at 8pm UK time GMT.

Kaleidoscope Visions panel presents this month's “SCORPIO MOON PHASES RENOVATIONS”. The month's pattern coordinates continual movement as a fixed Scorpio New Moon conjunct Mercury Rx then moves into mutable quarter moon phases tangling with the Archetypal Sagittarius Sun for new expressions to experience. Mercury transits in apparent retrograde motion through the month until November 28. following Saturn transiting direct on November 27th. Clear thinking becomes pivotal as their orbital path repeats the third time pre-shadow path degrees since mid-July for Saturn, and mid-October for Mercury. But Saturn's much slower. It's post-shadow path finishes the 2nd of March 2026 for a long digestion of what seeds to take from the past cycle to thrust out for new life. Opening the four moon phases begins with the New Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio. Part of a six-month pattern of new moons at 28 degrees of archetypal fulfilment. Scorpio involves a passionate alliance that empowers both parties resourcefully. Following phases all in mutable signs will be the first quarter moon on Nov 28 at 6°17' Pisces, the Full Moon on Dec 4 at 13°03' Sagittarius, and third quarter moon on Dec 11 at 20°47' Virgo. The moon's our personal planet regulating the past coming into the present. Weekly, the moon systematic monthly cycle transitions from a darkened New Moon to first quarter of light, Full Moon, and third quarter moon of light phases. Daily moving at the fast rate of 12-13 degrees with the moon transiting through each Zodiac sign in a mere two & a half days.

In her speech, Minister Raouna acknowledges that enlargement has long been one of the EU's most powerful transformative tools, and a driving force for reforms, progress, security, and prosperity. She discusses how the EU is navigating an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape in the face of Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine. She also argues that it is clear that enlargement is a geopolitical investment and necessity for stability, peace, and security for the European Union. It is widely accepted today that Enlargement has gained new impetus, and that this is a clear statement that Europe's response to aggression lies in greater European unification, and deeper integration. According to Minister Raouna, Enlargement also re-emerges as a key policy for strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy and global influence. She calls for the current momentum for enlargement to be seized, pointing out that by integrating new partners, the EU will reinforce its collective security and capacity to respond to emerging challenges. She concludes by underscoring that the incoming Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU is committed to driving forward the EU's enlargement agenda with ambition and a results-oriented approach based on merit. About the Speaker: Marilena Raouna is the Cypriot Deputy Minister for European Affairs, in charge of the preparations and political oversight of Cyprus' Presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2026. She studied Jurisprudence (Law) at Oxford University, holds an LLM in Public International and European Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (Chevening Scholar) and a Diploma in French language and civilization from Sorbonne University.

Continuăm seria de emisiuni dedicate diplomației culturale și rolului Institutului Cultural Român. Vă propunem o dezbatere despre modelele europene de cooperare culturală și despre felul în care Germania și-a construit o rețea globală de institute culturale. Invitatul lui Matei Martin este Joachim Umlauf, fost director al Institutului Goethe din București, diplomat cultural de carieră. Printre altele, Joachim Umlauf predă la masterul de diplomație culturală al Facultății de Științe Politice, Universitatea din București. Cum este definit rolul Goethe-Institutului în politica culturală și externă a Germaniei?Joachim Umlauf: „Goethe-Institut este o instituție cu un caracter foarte specific, tipic germană. Într-o anumită situație istorică de după cel de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, Germania de Vest a creat sau a susținut instituții care să reprezinte Germania în străinătate. Elementul esențial aici – și cred că e ușor de înțeles de ce – este că s-au fondat sau sprijinit instituții care să fie la o anumită distanță de stat. După război, se dorea susținerea unor instituții care să nu fie identificate direct cu statul german, pentru că statul se discreditase complet prin național-socialism.De aceea au fost create instituții precum Goethe-Institut, reînființat, regîndit pe altă structură în 1951, sau Fundația Alexander von Humboldt, ori Serviciul German pentru Schimburi Academice (DAAD) – toate cu personalitate juridică, cu o anumită autonomie de conținut și, prin aceasta, cu o distanță față de stat. Este ceva tipic german. Trebuie ținut cont, pe lîngă aspectul legat de discreditarea Germaniei în lume și de încercarea de a fi reintegrată între națiunile civilizate, că Germania a avut mereu un caracter federal și un model descentralizat. Și asta a jucat un rol important.”Care este relația concretă dintre Goethe-Institut și Ministerul Federal de Externe?Joachim Umlauf: „Relația este clară: avem autonomie în ceea ce privește conținutul, dar depindem financiar de minister. Institutul primește fonduri, pe de o parte, de la Ministerul de Externe și, pe de altă parte, are propriile venituri obținute din cursuri și examene de limbă. Considerabile, dar insuficiente. Dar autonomia de conținut merge mînă în mînă cu dependența financiară.Există un așa-numit „contract-cadru” care stabilește regulile relației dintre Ministerul de Externe și Goethe-Institut. E un document general, stabil și, de regulă, nu este modificat. În plus, există obiective strategice, acorduri cu privire la obiective care se reînnoiesc, de obicei, o dată la patru ani și care sînt negociate cu Ministerul. Așa funcționează sistemul, în linii mari.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei MartinUn produs Radio România Cultural 

Continuăm seria de discuții dedicate diplomației culturale și rolului Institutului Cultural Român ca instrument de soft power pentru promovarea culturii române în străinătate. În ce măsură îşi îndeplineşte ICR misiunea de a promova cultura română peste hotare? Cum se măsoară succesul unei acţiuni de diplomaţie culturală? Care ar fi cea mai potrivită instituție în subordinea căreia ar fi ferit ICR de politizare? Am întrebat-o pe Oana-Valentina Suciu, sociolog, cadru didactic la Facultatea de Științe Politice a Universității din București, unde coordonează, începînd de anul acesta, un masterat de diplomație culturală.În ce măsură îşi îndeplineşte ICR misiunea de a promova cultura română peste hotare?Oana-Valentina Suciu: „Deşi ICR are o strategie, aceasta nu se pliază foarte bine pe cerinţele şi aşteptările pe care le au reţele precum EUNIC – reţeaua internaţională a institutelor culturale – care îşi propune să fie tot mai implicată în problemele gobale, în susţinerea democraţiei şi a drepturilor omului, în chestiuni legate de migraţie, de încălzirea globală... Agenda europeană şi agenda internaţională sînt foarte diferite de ceea ce oferă Institutul Cultural Român la ora actuală. În plus, acele proiecte sînt gîndite pe termen mediu şi lung – proiecte multianuale – or, ICR, chiar dacă ar vrea să facă acest lucru, din cauza legislaţiei financiare din România nu poate să propună şi să coordoneze proiecte multianuale. De aceea, probabil, a recurs la această soluţie mai simplă, de a organiza o serie de evenimente. Nu discut calitatea în sine a acestora, unele sînt de o înaltă calitate artistică. Dar nu denotă o viziune coerentă a ceea ce înseamnă cultura română vie, pe care, de altfel o şi menţionează în statutul său şi în legea de funcţionare.”Cum se măsoară succesul unei acţiuni de diplomaţie culturală?Oana-Valentina Suciu: „Asta nu ştiu nici alte institute culturale. Vă dau exemplul Institutului Francez care, pentru a măsura succesul unuia dintre proiectele lor de film, numără cîte bilete s-au vîndut sau cîte accesări au avut dacă e vorba despre filme online oferite gratuit. E un indicator, dar nu este cel mai potrivit. Asta e altă întrebare care apare în diverse rapoarte şi manuale de diplomaţie culturală: cum măsurăm nemăsurabilul. De altfel, asta este şi întrebarea pe care ne-o punem în seria de propuneri de politici culturale pe care le realizăm în cadrul echipei NARDIV – un proiect finanţat de UE în care sînt implicaţi Universitatea din Bucureşti, Institutul Goethe din România, Institutul Francez din România, Universitatea Marseille-Aix, Franţa, Amsterdamul… – şi fiecare dintre acele echipe de cercetare vine cu cîte o propunere de politică culturală în sensul de a identifica nişte probleme şi a propune nişte soluţii care se vor reuni într-un raport ce va fi prezentat anul viitor, pe 12 mai, la Bruxelles, membrilor comisiei de cultură de acolo.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Welcome to the Let's Talk About Real Estate Podcast This week's episode features Carolyn Drane, and we're diving into a topic that doesn't get discussed nearly enough - How to Battle Burnout in Real Estate. Carolyn has been in real estate for most of her life. She's one of those agents who has truly been there and done it all. From owning her own successful business in Queensland for many years to now working with Elders in Victoria, she's experienced the industry from every angle. Licensed in both QLD and VIC, Carolyn also holds a Diploma in Business Management and is well known for her expertise in acreage, lifestyle, and equestrian properties. She has been recognised in the REB Top 50 Women in Real Estate, which speaks volumes about her dedication and success. After decades of being self-employed and constantly running at full speed, Carolyn made a huge change, she moved interstate, joined a new company, and rediscovered how to love real estate again, this time without the burnout. When she's not selling property, she's spending time with her horses, riding through the mountains or along the beach, or helping others through equine-assisted therapy. In This Episode Carolyn shares insights from more than 30 years in real estate. What's changed for the better, what hasn't, and how the industry has evolved. She talks about her experience running her own business, the pressures of being self-employed, and what burnout really looks like for a real estate agent. She opens up about the moment she realised she couldn't keep going at the same pace, the warning signs that she was heading toward burnout, and how stepping away helped her rebuild a healthier relationship with real estate. Carolyn also discusses what helped her recover mentally and emotionally after years of running a high-pressure business and how her perspective has shifted since returning in a different role. Starting Again (With Wisdom) Now working in a corporate role with Elders, Carolyn talks about what that transition has been like after decades of being her own boss. She explains why she says her new environment feels like "stepping back in time," what "back to basics" means in her day-to-day, and what she would do differently if she were starting over in real estate today. Balance, Numbers, and Perspective Outside of work, Carolyn lives a rich life surrounded by her horses and lifestyle properties, and through her work in equine therapy, she helps others find balance too. She shares her advice for agents who feel like they're always "on," why so many agents avoid knowing their numbers, and her thoughts on the difference between perception and reality in real estate. Wisdom for Agents For those who might be teetering on the edge of burnout, Carolyn offers heartfelt advice and wisdom on how to regain control, rediscover joy, and define success on their own terms. She also shares how her definition of success has evolved and what she loves most about real estate today compared to when she first started. Carolyn Drane Elders Bairnsdale

In this special edition of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, Rory Lees-Oakes is joined by Dr. Liz Nicholl, Qualifications Development Manager at CPCAB, for an in-depth discussion on the newly relaunched Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. They explore how the qualification aligns with the SCoPEd framework (specifically Column B), what it offers learners beyond Level 4, and how it supports safe, ethical, and inclusive practice in increasingly complex counselling environments. Key Takeaways: The Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling has been revised to meet SCoPEd Column B competencies, ensuring alignment with professional accreditation routes such as BACP and NCPS. The course supports a smooth transition from Level 4 to independent or senior agency practice, with a strong emphasis on ethical decision-making and professional accountability. Key learning outcomes include skills in managing complexity, recognising risk (e.g. suicide, self-harm), and developing policies and contracts for private practice. Cultural humility and awareness of social, cultural, and biological diversity are embedded through critically reflective assessment tasks and resources like the RACE Toolkit and the Churchill Framework. Outcome measures such as CORE-10 and PHQ-9 are introduced as relational tools for client assessment, with practical classroom training on how to use them ethically and effectively across modalities. Research literacy is a central theme, with learners encouraged to critically engage with peer-reviewed articles, integrate findings into practice, and consider conducting their own research to inform future client work.

Kaleidoscope Visions panel presents this month's “MOON PHASES-Fingers of Fate”. This pattern coordinates continual adjustments as a cardinal new moon moves into fixed archetypal moon phases.The Finger of Fate pattern (YOD) requires adjusting between its energetic dynamics without any easy resolution. The quincunx of 150° aspect requires recalibration causing a constant, dynamic tension. Essentially, an internal ‘push-pull' as we ‘lean into' experiencing one energy to the other. Seeking to coordinate their cosmic reflection into our life. Potentially this month involves a process of adjusting to create a new path of perspectives with our ego, our emotions, our values, and thinking.Opening the four moon phases begins with the New Moon at 28 degrees Libra. It heralds the start of a six-month pattern of new moons at 28 degrees of archetypal fulfilment. Libra involves a desire to balance between extremes presented by any polarity. Here, looking at the values to heal from toxicity. Following phases all in fixed signs will be the first quarter moon on Oct 29 at 6°30 Aquarius, the Full Moon on Nov 5 at 13°22' Taurus, and third quarter moon on Nov 12 at 20°04' Leo.The moon's our personal planet regulating the past coming into the present. Weekly the moon systematic monthly cycle transitions from the New Moon to first quarter, Full Moon, and third quarter moon phases. Daily moving 12-13 degrees, the moon moves through a Zodiac sign in two & a half days.Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i are Kaleidoscope Visions panel members, Amanda Pierce, and John Chinworth of Seattle.

In this episode, I sit down with Philip Armstrong, CEO of the Vocational Mental Health Professionals Association of Australia (VMHPAA), to unpack the National Standards for Counsellors and Psychotherapists — what's true, what's still uncertain, and what it all means for your private practice. If you've felt confused or anxious about what these standards might mean for you as a counsellor, psychotherapist, or student — you're not alone. In this conversation, we explore the facts behind the draft, the myths circulating in online communities, and the practical implications for vocational and higher-education qualified practitioners. Philip clarifies the differences between licensing, registration, and endorsement, and together we talk through why it's not yet official, how the process works, and where counsellors' voices are needed most. You'll hear: (00:37) Introduction to Philip Armstrong and the VMHPAA (01:06) What's really happening with the “official” national standards (02:50) The consultation process and why response rates matter (08:47) What a counselling license is and isn't (15:35) Where graduate diplomas fit in (and where they don't) (17:43) Supervision hours and how they may change (20:28) Who decides what's “low-risk” counselling? (26:36) Is “counsellor” a protected title under the new standards? (32:44) How licensing, endorsement, and accreditation all differ (40:05) The future for diploma-qualified counsellors and supervisors (45:15) Will these standards affect your ability to practice privately? (53:11) What “conditional licensing” really means (56:55) Why the current draft can't yet be endorsed (1:02:09) What changes the department needs to make next (1:16:18) How counsellors can stay informed and get involved If you're a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist, or social worker in Australia trying to make sense of the evolving standards, this episode will help you understand the facts, stay calm, and know exactly where your professional voice matters.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 22 August 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 4:43-54 and Jesus' healing of the official's son at Capernaum.He reminds us that seeing is not believing: witnessing the signs that Jesus did does not necessarily lead to a person having faith in him. Instead, hearing Jesus' words and trusting in him is what true faith looks like.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ These podcasts examine and discuss suicide and associated trauma. If you have been affected by anything in these podcasts, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123 For several years now, the levels of mental health and well-being within the UK police have been in decline. Many will argue that this is a result of an ever-increasing workload, a reduction in capacity and experience, underfunding, and a perception that social and mainstream media proactively portray a negative narrative of law enforcement within the UK. Additionally, lenient sentencing, poor organizational practices, and the disproportionate time spent on officers under investigation have contributed to create a perfect storm. In this short series of podcasts, I will be looking at the rising trend of police officers taking their own lives. I will be speaking with a variety of people to put a spotlight on police suicide, the reasons behind it, and hopefully how we can halt its rise. In this episode I talk with former Police Superintendent Andrea Quinton. She spent 30 years with Greater Manchester Police, including two as a Special Constable, and has worked in most areas of the service including response, neighbourhood policing, CID, prisoner processing, proactive policing, and training. She was a Tactical Firearms Commander with the North West Armed Policing Collaboration. A passionate believer in personal development, she is also a trained mentor and coach, having completed her Level 7 Certificate and Diploma in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. In a wide ranging interview we talk about the issues her recent blog raised and whether police wellbeing should be treated as a critical incident.

How can vines for wine thrive in Mount Etna's rocky, volcanic soils on the island of Sicily? Mount Etna is a perpetual baby in terms of its vineyard soils; constant rejuvenation of the soil through ash and lava impacts the vine's health and the resulting grape characteristics. The lava flows are centuries old and vary widely. So, how would a producer choose one flow over another for planting? How does Mount Etna still have pre-phylloxera vines that are over 200 years old? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Ben Spencer, the award-winning author of The New Wines of Mount Etna. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights Why did Ben find Fabio Costantino of Terra Costantino such a fascinating and emblematic person from Etna's wine community? What is the landscape of Mount Etna like, and what makes it unique and beautiful? How do producers on Etna choose which lava flow to plant on? What does it look like to grow grapes in a place as fertile as on Etna? How do Etna wines compare with other volcanic wines? Are field blends of different grape varieties still common in Etna's vineyards? How does Nerello Mascalese compare to Pinot Noir grapes? Why is Nerello Cappuccio mostly used in blends rather than as a single varietal wine? How does Carricante, Etna's signature white grape, develop the kerosene or petrol aroma often found in aged Riesling? What were some of the oldest vines Ben has seen on Mount Etna? How can you get the most out of a trip to Etna? Who would Ben love to share a bottle of wine with?   Key Takeaways How can vines for wine thrive in Mount Etna's rocky, volcanic soils on the island of Sicily? It's very, very fertile and you can plant just about anything. The vines are only part of that biodiversity. You can put a grafted vine selection, masala, cutting from your own vineyard into the earth. What it taps into will sort of define what that vine will be. We see 95% of the vines take because the soil is so fertile. Mount Etna's lava flows are centuries old and vary widely. How would a producer choose one flow over another for planting? Sometimes it's a simple budgetary decision or a farming decision, whether to take over an old vine vineyard or to buy something and replant new vines, whether you want to face the contours of the mountain, or if you want to ease into it with tractor or some sort of mechanized labor, not that many producers do much more than use a tractor in the vineyard, it's very difficult to use heavy machinery on it, and everybody harvests by hand. But certain contrada, certain lava flows, the age of the soil, the slope, east, north, south, they have different flavors. They have different spices, and it's all that lasagna layering of the mountain. It has its own style. How does Mount Etna still have pre-phylloxera vines that are over 200 years old? On Etna, we don't have a lot of clay. So we do have these very, very old vines. The soils need about 3% clay to incubate phylloxera over the winter. And so the soil isn't old enough to have that much clay in it. There's also the snow up at elevation, so it's just inhospitable to the louse. But the oldest vines that I've seen are either Nerello Mascalese or possibly Minnella. The trunks can get really, really big. They can get really long. They look like they're prehistoric.   About Benjamin Spencer Benjamin Spencer is the Director of Etna Wine School and the award-winning author of The New Wines of Mount Etna. In addition to holding a Diploma from the London-based Wine & Spirit Education Trust, Ben is a journalist, wine judge, and a professional winemaker with two decades of experience working with artisan and internationally traded wine brands in California and Italy.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/353.

Do you ever feel like you're great at supporting others but struggle when it comes to prioritising yourself and your own business? You're not alone, and there are things you can do. This week on the Jewellers Academy podcast, Jessica Rose chats with our part-time Community Manager Anna Campbell. Anna is a former psychology lecturer and author of the brand new book Good Girl Rebellion: Build the Business, Break the Rules, Be Limitless, about how women who identify with the ‘good girl' personality can grow businesses that align with who they really are without burning out or trying to force themselves into a model that doesn't fit.   Anna shares insights from her new book, including her REBEL methodology:   RESILIENT MINDSET - Clear away overwhelm, indecision and fear of criticism and start building confidence and growth. Mindset is the foundation of how we feel and how we build a business so it is a crucial step EVERYDAY ACTION – Finding ways to get things done that actually work for you because you likely are great at prioritising everyone else but you and your business always ends up at the bottom of the list.  BOLD MARKETING – At every stage of your business, particularly at the beginning, bold marketing is the key to your success. But stepping into the spotlight and learning to receive doesn't always come naturally so this section of the book is all about how to do this. EMPOWERED PRICING – Change your money mindset, stop undercharging and show up for yourself and your business. This is all about tackling internalised beliefs around money and charging fairly. LIBERATING RESULTS – Creating long-term change through small, manageable shifts.   In this episode, Jess and Anna explore why so many creatives and entrepreneurs struggle with self-prioritization, and how we can break free from people-pleasing patterns to build businesses rooted in integrity, confidence, and self-care. If you've ever found traditional business advice overwhelming or anxiety-inducing, this episode offers a gentler, more compassionate approach - one that helps you embrace who you are while still expecting more from yourself.
