Welcome to the show that helps you walk your path of personal development, healing, and spiritual growth with more success, ease, and joy. Walking the path of personal transformation can feel lonely, confusing, or overwhelming. Talk the Walk is here to change that.

    How To Improve Your Relationship With Yourself

    The very concept of having a relationship with yourself creates a negative relationship with yourself. In this episode, I reveal why the idea of a "relationship with yourself" only exists because of trauma, and how true self-love means dissolving this concept entirely and returning to wholeness. In this episode, we explore: Why babies don't have a "relationship with themselves"—they just ARE How the concept of a relationship with yourself is created by trauma Why your inner critic exists and what it's really trying to do The difference between self-love and self-esteem (and why self-esteem keeps you stuck) How loving the inner critic transforms it Why being hard on yourself blocks improvement instead of creating it The paradox: improving your relationship with yourself means dissolving the concept Actionable Takeaways: Recognize that needing to "improve" your relationship with yourself is already a sign of trauma Validate the parts of you that learned they were unlovable Love your inner critic first—it's trying to protect you from rejection What parts of yourself have you been rejecting? Share in our community. If this shifted how you see self-love, share it with someone stuck in self-criticism. And remember: may you be happy and do good, and may you be happy doing good. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS: - Explore our offerings: StarSoulSchool.com 💫 CONNECT WITH ME: - Instagram: @filiperocha_sss - Facebook: @filiperochamd About Me: I'm Dr. Filipe Rocha, founder of StarSoul School.

    How To Become Unwaveringly Confident

    Confidence is a survival mechanism, not a thriving mechanism. In this episode, I reveal why chasing confidence keeps you stuck and how true unwavering confidence comes from the paradox of not needing it—by learning to feel all your emotions safely. In this episode, we explore: Why confidence is designed to block you, not help you thrive The four core reasons people want confidence (and why they don't actually need it) Why wanting confidence actually means wanting to avoid emotions The distinction between confidence and competency (and which actually improves performance) Why chasing confidence to be authentic kills authenticity How true self-love means loving ALL parts, including the unconfident ones The paradox: you become unwaveringly confident when you stop needing confidence Actionable Takeaways: Ask yourself: "What feeling am I afraid of?" when you crave confidence Stop trying to increase confidence—start making it safe to feel all emotions Love the unconfident parts instead of requiring yourself to be different When you catch yourself wanting more confidence, what feeling are you avoiding? Share in our community. If this shifted how you see confidence, share it with someone who chases confidence but stays stuck. And remember: may you be happy and do good, and may you be happy doing good. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS: - Explore our offerings: StarSoulSchool.com 💫 CONNECT WITH ME: - Instagram: @filiperocha_sss - Facebook: @filiperochamd About Me: I'm Dr. Filipe Rocha, founder of StarSoul School.

    How To Thrive And Achieve Effortlessly

    Healing is beautiful, but healing is not yet thriving. In this episode, I reveal the third pillar of emotional mastery: inner leadership—how to stop letting your emotions run your life and start leading them toward your purpose so they become your superpowers. In this episode, we explore: Why you can get stuck endlessly healing and feeling emotions without ever thriving The difference between healing and thriving (and why healers avoid the next step) What inner leadership is and how emotions become your team with you as leader Why achievers burn out by fighting emotions without inner safety first How to lead by following your inner purpose instead of forcing it The tree metaphor: roots (inner safety), trunk (emotional fluidity), leaves (inner leadership) Actionable Takeaways: Don't stay stuck in healing mode—add inner leadership to give emotions direction If you're an achiever, build inner safety and emotional fluidity first or you'll burn out Lead by following your deepest energy and purpose, not by forcing or deciding Are you a healer stuck in healing or an achiever fighting your emotions?

    The Key To Getting Emotionally Unstuck

    Inner safety alone isn't enough. In this episode, I reveal the second pillar of emotional mastery: emotional fluidity—why you need to feel your emotions (not just regulate them), and how this moves you from healthy coping to actual healing. In this episode, we explore: Why inner safety alone can become another form of emotional avoidance The critical next step: bringing inner safety TO your emotions (not just staying regulated) What emotional awareness is and why alexithymia (lack of it) keeps you stuck Why "feel to heal" is true BUT NOT without inner safety first (or it's retraumatizing) How emotional fluidity means moving through all emotions without getting stuck The progression: unhealthy coping → healthy coping → healing → wholeness Actionable Takeaways: Don't just stay in the regulated state—bring that safety to your difficult emotions Develop emotional awareness as a muscle (it can be practiced and strengthened) Feel your emotions WITH safety, not before establishing safety (order matters) Are you stuck in healthy coping or ready for actual healing? Share in our community. If this showed you what's been missing, share it with someone stuck despite all their regulation tools.

    Why Your Emotions Keep You Stuck (And The Key To Finally Breakthrough)

    It's not self-sabotage, it's self-protection. In this episode, I reveal why your emotions block you from thriving, how trauma flips safety upside down, and why inner safety is the foundation that changes everything. In this episode, we explore: Why emotions prioritize survival over thriving (you can't thrive if you're dead) How trauma makes what's safe feel unsafe and what's unsafe feel safe The three disastrous consequences of trauma that keep you stuck Why self-sabotage is actually self-protection and limiting beliefs are protective beliefs What inner safety really is (the capacity to feel your feelings with safety) How inner safety allows you to drop unhealthy patterns effortlessly and achieve your goals Actionable Takeaways: Recognize that your emotions are trying to protect you, not sabotage you Identify which feeling you learned wasn't safe (anger, joy, needs, visibility, success) Begin viewing inner safety as rediscovering your natural state, not creating something new Are you stuck in survival mode or growth mode? Share in our community. If this reframed self-sabotage for you, share it with someone who keeps blocking their own success.

    What if one thing could transform every area of your life? In this episode, I reveal why your emotions are either your biggest blocks or your greatest superpowers—and how emotional mastery is the single most powerful investment you can make. In this episode, we explore: Why changing behavior or mindset alone keeps you stuck (and what's actually driving them) The one thing that affects relationships, health, finances, purpose, and every life area How emotions are "energy in motion" that either blocks you or propels you forward Why you can't eliminate emotions (and what happens when you try) The difference between coping, surviving, and thriving How to transform emotions from blocks into superpowers through emotional balance Actionable Takeaways: Identify which inner block is preventing your breakthrough (perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, etc.) Recognize that emotions are the root cause beneath behaviors, thoughts, and feelings Stop trying to eliminate emotions—learn to balance them so they work FOR you, not against you Are your emotions blocking you or empowering you?

    Why You're Still Stuck Even With All Your Tools

    You've done the courses, read the books, tried the modalities, but you're still stuck. In this episode, I reveal why everything you've learned has likely been sophisticated emotional avoidance, and the one shift that makes it all finally work. In this episode, we explore: Why all your tools and techniques might be keeping you stuck (not helping you break through) The two types of people on the healing path: Healers and Achievers (both avoiding emotions) How healers use regulation to avoid emotions, and achievers use performance to override them Why positive emotions (joy, success) are often scarier than negative ones The hidden emotion you're avoiding that's keeping you from your next level Actionable Takeaways: Identify which emotion you're using all your tools to avoid—that's what's keeping you stuck Notice if you're a Healer (staying in regulation) or Achiever (overriding emotions) Make the avoided emotion safe to feel instead of finding more sophisticated ways to avoid it Are you stuck despite having all the tools?
