    EP 34 - Living in Alignment With Your Inner Frequency (with Sivan Yamin)

    This episode explores how Sivan transformed sound from a healing tool into a philosophy for living. From her roots in Israel to the expansive spiritual landscape of Ibiza, she began to see life itself as vibration, the energy we carry, the frequencies we surround ourselves with, the spaces we curate, and the communities we build. Through sound healing, music, movement, and mindfulness, she didn’t just create events, she built a universe. A sanctuary where people reconnect to themselves and to each other. In this conversation, we explore: How sound became her language of healing The power of combining music, embodiment, and presence How environment (Ibiza’s openness, Israel’s depth) shaped her practice Building community through shared frequency Turning personal healing into collective experience

    EP 32 - My Dad’s Journey Through Alcoholism and Recovery

    In this episode, I sit down with my dad to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about his life with alcoholism and the journey toward recovery. We walk through the early stages that often go unnoticed: drinking like anyone else, unaware that it’s becoming a problem. Slowly, almost quietly, the habit grows until the mind begins to revolve around one thing. What starts as normal becomes necessary. What feels controlled becomes consuming. From there comes denial: the refusal to acknowledge or recognize that anything is wrong. We talk about how powerful denial can be, and how convincing the mind becomes when it’s protecting a pattern that’s hurting you. Eventually, denial gives way to rock bottom. For my dad, that meant crashing two cars, ending up in the hospital, and facing the sickness of addiction at its most intense. It was the moment when avoidance was no longer possible. Real change, he explains, only begins with acceptance, fully recognizing that you have a problem, and then making the conscious decision to want something different. ] We discuss the many paths people take toward recovery: religion, spirituality, therapy, and support systems. For him, it was Alcoholics Anonymous. He committed to the program, followed the steps for 30 consecutive days, and began to truly understand himself. Through that process, he realized he has an addictive personality and that his mind isn’t always his best friend. We talk about how the mind can play games, sabotage progress, and pull us back toward familiar patterns. But with awareness, discipline, and support, we can learn how to put the mind in its place instead of letting it run our lives. This episode is about accountability, presence, and choosing intention over escape. It’s not just a story about alcoholism, it’s about learning how to stay, how to face yourself honestly, and how change becomes possible when you finally decide to show up.

    EP 31 - A Sneak Peek Into Our 2-Week India Retreat (with Vrindavan Das)

    In this sneak peek, Vrindavan Das shares the heart of our upcoming journey through India, and why this land has the power to change you from the inside out. From the 16th to the 29th of September, 2026, we will explore beautiful places in India. (If you want to join, send me a message on Instagram @theleapclub). Over two immersive weeks, we’ll travel through Vrindavan, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, and Rishikesh, moving through ancient cities and sacred landscapes with intention and depth. From the capital of yoga to the foothills of the Himalayan region, each place offers its own teaching, rhythm, and reflection. This retreat goes beyond sightseeing. We’ll meet spiritual masters and gurus, join locals in their daily rituals, visit temples, and meditate in sacred spaces that have held seekers for centuries. We’ll explore iconic cities in non-touristic ways, while staying in comfortable hotels that allow space for both integration and rest. Along the way, we’ll learn about the region’s spirituality, culture, and beliefs, not as observers, but as participants. India has a way of gently turning your gaze inward, helping you access clarity, answers, and a deeper understanding of yourself. This journey isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about returning transformed. You arrive curious, and you leave changed, carrying insights that stay with you long after the journey ends.

    EP 30 - Cómo cambiar tu mente para cambiar tu realidad (con Nicole Desmoineaux)

    En este episodio hablamos de soltar la idea de que la vida tiene que ser pesada, dura o excesivamente seria. De cómo encontrar eso que nos apasiona puede cambiar por completo la forma en la que habitamos nuestros días y nuestra mente. Exploramos cómo muchas veces la ansiedad y la depresión nacen de un espacio donde no nos sentimos suficientes, donde creemos que tenemos que esforzarnos más, ser más o aguantar más. Y recordamos algo esencial: aprender a pausar, respirar y decirnos —de verdad— que todo está bien. Hablamos del poder de compartir tu historia, de mostrarte vulnerable y de permitirte ser vista tal como eres. De entender que no hay tiempo perdido, que cada paso, incluso los que parecen no tener sentido, están formando a la persona en la que te estás convirtiendo. Nicole nos comparte cómo encontró su camino como coach de cocina intuitiva y cómo transformó la cocina en un espacio de conexión, creatividad y expansión personal. Desde sus inicios en sesiones 1:1 hasta la creación de experiencias culinarias presenciales que hoy reúnen a decenas de mujeres, su historia es un recordatorio de que cuando algo se siente alineado, deja de sentirse como trabajo. Este episodio es una invitación a vivir con más ligereza, a confiar en tu proceso y a recordar que tu camino no tiene que verse como el de nadie más. @nicoledesmoineaux https://www.nicoledesmoineaux.com/

    EP 29 - The Moment It Clicks: Knowing You’re Not Meant to Return Home

    This episode is a reflection on what happens when you return to the place you come from and realize, with clarity, that it’s no longer where you’re meant to build your life. After spending a full month back home in Guatemala, I share the emotions, resistance, and uncomfortable truths that surfaced, and how they ultimately became answers. I talk about the impact your environment has on every area of life: productivity, mindset, energy, relationships, and the way we define quality of life. This is an honest conversation about outgrowing familiar places, learning to listen to frustration as guidance, choosing acceptance over guilt, and understanding that home will always be part of you, even if it’s no longer where you belong. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode is for you.

    EP 28 - The Inner Journey Behind Losing 50 Kilos (with Isadora Pirees)

    In this episode, Isa shares the powerful story behind her transformation. She opens up about losing 50 kilos without surgery and how that change had much less to do with dieting and much more to do with understanding her “why.” For years, her relationship with food and her body was complicated and emotional. Real progress only began when she got honest with herself, faced the roots of her habits, and focused on healing from the inside out. Having lived in three different countries and navigated plenty of hard and messy seasons along the way, Isa talks about what it truly means to stop running away from your body and start listening to it instead. Her mission is to empower women to understand themselves, not fix themselves, and to see weight loss as just one part of a much bigger journey toward self-acceptance and strength. @isadorapirees
