She offers courses such as Training Your Inner Warrior, Finding Your Voice, Becoming A Master Storyteller With Your Life, The Art of Inner Inquiry, and This Is Awakening.
As a mentor to leaders she offers life-changing support to high-profile change makers from the political, NGO, entrepreneurial, and arts communities.


In this episode we talk about:



life’s purpose, how does it look like and how do you find it?
how to deal with the struggles around finding life’s purpose
how ancient mythology points us to toward essential truths

the death of the ego and soul
wanting
how do you die well

In this episode I have a conversation with Bill Gaede who moved from the USA to Setubal, Portugal when he was 85 years old!


What made Bill decide to move to Setubal at an age where a lot of people are already dead. I don’t know what most people think and do when they’re 85 but chances are that moving to another country is probably not that high on their to-do list. What makes Bill different? Well, you are about to find out because I had the opportunity to talk with Bill about moving to Portugal, life, dreams, regrets, valuable life lessons, happiness, death and much more.


It's not often I get a chance to speak with someone who not only has the courage to move to another country at that age but also the courage to speak openly about his life. One of the questions I asked Bill is how he would like to be remembered, this was his answer.

When you move to another country and start looking for your tribe a very important part of your quest has begun.


The people you are going to surround yourself with are going to determine for a big part the quality of your life. I love to surround myself with creators, people who speak from the heart, have the courage to be vulnerable and let themselves be seen. People who are also on their Hero’s Journey and share stories about their dreams, fears and how they deal with life’s challenges.


Not only has the Unleash the Hero within podcast become a magnet for those people and their inspiring stories but it has also become a place of connection, joy, belonging and new friendships.


In this episode I have a conversation with Federica Gallus and her journey to become a successful singer. Her story is not only very inspiring but also filled with nuggets of wisdom. Through our stories we not only connect but they also give us an opportunity to reflect on our own lives.


I’m grateful I got to spent some time with Federica because she made me realize that finding your gift not only comes with the responsibility of taking care of it the best that you can but also using it in a way that benefits others.


“with great power comes great responsibility”

In this episode I have a conversation with Marshall Decouto about what makes us tick. Why do we do the things we do, where does our behavior come from and how can we change it?


This is an episode if you are interested in spirituality and learning more about the subconscious quantum field. Marshall shares valuable knowledge about how our negative thoughts prevents us from becoming the person we are destined to be. We dig deep into the world of energy, vibration frequencies and conscious presence. Ingredients that we need to understand better so we can close the gap between the person we are and the person we would like to become. Marshall shares his life lessons and a very personal and profound story that changed everything and sent him on a new path in his life.


I’m grateful that I met Marshall and I’ve not only had the privilege to speak with him for many hours but also received a treatment from him and experienced firsthand the gift that Marshall shares with the world.


It's no secret that Setubal is the (new) home for many searchers, myself included. When you think and feel on a certain energy frequency it is only a matter of time before you attract like minded spirits. You are welcome to join us in the private Facebook group Waking Up In Setubal.

When you move to another country it’s only a matter of time before you meet new people and make friends.


Setubal is like a melting pot that not only attracts people from all over the world but also a wide variety of odd ducks, myself included. Why do you want to surround yourself with ‘normal’ people (whoever that may be) when there is an opportunity to meet some of the most colorful people of the world. Not only do they have an amazing story to tell but it feels like we are all looking for the same thing.


It was only a matter of time before I would meet a genuine, certified, bonafide rockstar in a local bar. Conrad Harvey also known as The Disco Viking definitely fits the bill. Not only am I happy that he’s my guest on this episode of the Unleash the hero within podcast but I also got a chance to spent some time with him and get to know him better.


In this episode we talk about why he came to Setubal, his mission in life, his dream to become a rockstar, the best and worst day in his life, conquering fear and much more.


Sometimes you meet people you have an immediate connection with and you can talk with them for hours. Conrad falls in that category and in this podcast you will discover why.

Travelling to another country is not only a great way to learn about different cultures and people but it’s also a perfect way to discover more about yourself.


My next guest is Andy Tulett and he travelled the world for 10 years in a campervan that he build himself. His current destination is Setubal, Portugal and that’s where Andy and I crossed paths.


Join me in this episode where we talk about his adventures, the lessons he learned along the way, the struggles in his life and his mission to spread happiness over the world.


It's when people find the courage to speak from the heart and show their vulnerabilities that we truly connect with each other and discover that we are not that different. By sharing our stories we not only connect on a much deeper level but it also gives us a chance to heal our own wounds.
