Eunoia- a life podcast

alessia maria

Eunoia means "beautiful thinking," and that's exactly our goal here. The idea began in 2019, when host Alessia Maria (B.A. Neuroscience/Economics) suffered from a rare disorder that turned her life upside down. Today, we explore the quieter parts of being human because life is messy, and we're all finding our way. Think of it like a conversation with a friend. One who overthinks. A lot. So sit down, grab a cup of coffee/tea (or let's be honest, maybe a glass of wine), and listen in! You can also find quieter, in-between moments shared as a photo journal on Instagram, along with a small Substack space for ongoing conversation. All links are available in the show notes. Listener support links are always available in the show notes. amariavn.substack.com

    life after graduation. where i'm at now...

    I graduated, what now? I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting in this time of transition, especially since I never thought I would be here.

Join me today as I share a bit of where I have been and what the podcast will look like in the future. Chapters * 00:00- intro * 00:07- where i’ve been * 02:30- transitions * 06:07- lots of reflecting Prefer Spotify? Prefer YouTube? About the Podcast Created for big thinkers and deep feelers.

About

Eunoia means "beautiful thinking," and that's exactly our goal here. The idea began in 2019, when host Alessia Maria (B.A. Neuroscience/Economics) suffered from a rare disorder that turned her life upside down. Today, we explore the quieter parts of being human because life is messy, and we're all finding our way. Think of it like a conversation with a friend. One who overthinks. A lot. So sit down, grab a cup of coffee/tea (or let's be honest, maybe a glass of wine), and listen in! You can also find quieter, in-between moments shared as a photo journal on Instagram, along with a small Substack space for ongoing conversation. All links are available in the show notes. Listener support links are always available in the show notes. amariavn.substack.com
