This new format is so beautiful. Nothing against Vanessa, Mauricio is just so generous and thoughtful. Every single episode is enlightening and beautiful and I find ways to apply something to my own life every single time. He is a gift to listeners and I cannot get enough!! ❤️❤️
I was so moved by the most recent episode about theatre. Such beautiful vulnerability and carful attention. It’s beautiful to listen to someone learn about themselves and find new paths through loss.
Mauricio is always thoughtful and considerate around the guests
This episode about saying no to opportunities really went in a direction I wasn’t expecting.
I never know where a conversation is going and I mean that in the absolute best way. I find something to relate to in every episode and I’m often thinking about it long after I listen.
