We try to tackle these huge 3 topics that are currently dominating our life stuck in Treviso, Italy but luckily in our loving home where we try to expand the borders of creativity and we finally managed to find the mental power of fully talking about how our life is here under quarantine, in a laughing manner. Trust me we do take it very seriously but we still try to carry a positive attitude in our life and hope to bring you some of it too. Enjoy x

The shitty thing about being a psychologist is that you know you are panicking but that doesn't stop you from panicking anyway. I talk about what we go through as the partners left behind and players who are in camp/quarantine. I decided they are the same thing. In one they try to not catch feelings and the other viruses. Same ol' same ol'. Press play to hear more on switching off your panic button.

Life throws many curve balls and we don't always know how to hit it, and sometimes we completely miss it. Then we find ourselves beating ourselves about the mistake we have done. But where does this blaming psychology come from? How can we sometimes be so mean to ourselves that we blame our mistakes on our skills or capacity. Believe it or not mistakes are not a static thing where it can be measured or by seen by everyone, so how do we perceive them?

If we can perceive them how can we avoid them? From the ancient greeks to technology join me in a conversation talking about how to deal with mistakes and learn to avoid them.

This gives you a head start in the game or performance to be prepared to all the scenarios. Did you know imagery is not only seeing but living the experience in your mind with 5 senses? Michael Phelps knows. Join the talk today to learn many more!
