I have no idea how I came across this podcast, but I am so happy I did. Every episode goes so deep, and in unexpected directions. Mauricio is compassionate while asking questions that guide the guest to their answer. Well done!
Mauricio is so kind and warm and direct and this show is the best advice podcast I have ever listened to (and I’ve listened to quite a few!)
It’s just so thoughtful and compassionate - I learn from every single podcast episode.
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
