    A personal reflection on light, shadow, and inner coziness

    This week, Valentina and Inma close the month’s conversation on resilience, self-soothing, and self-compassion with a deeply personal reflection on “shadow” and “light” parts — the emotions and traits we tend to hide versus the ones we celebrate. Through stories of fear, anger, overthinking, achievement, and emotional protection, they explore how our most difficult emotions are often not flaws, but protective mechanisms trying to keep us safe. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), embodiment practices, and Sophia’s previous interview, the conversation highlights the power of self-awareness, connecting with the body instead of getting lost in thought, and learning to meet ourselves with compassion instead of criticism. Together, they discuss: Why fear and anger can be protective rather than “bad” The difference between connecting with thoughts vs. bodily experience Overthinking, emotional avoidance, and nervous system awareness Self-compassion as “inner coziness” Treating yourself as a home, not a project to fix Flexibility, cyclical resilience, and learning to trust yourself Love languages with yourself and “compassion in action” The importance of professional support and discerning healing content online This episode is an invitation to soften the sharp edges within, reconnect with your body, and ask: What would it feel like to cultivate just 2% more inner coziness in my life?

    Science - Understanding Your Emotions: Self-Compassion, Flexibility & Healing

    In this episode of Rise Together, Dr. Inma explores the science behind self-compassion, emotional regulation, and resilience following Valentina’s conversation with Sofia. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), she explains why emotions are not the problem — our fear of feeling them often is. The episode unpacks experiential avoidance, overthinking, body awareness, trauma responses, and psychological flexibility, showing how emotions carry important information when we learn to listen safely and compassionately. Dr. Inma also explores the connection between the body and emotions, the role of self-soothing, and how self-compassion can shift both our nervous system and our relationship with ourselves. Through reflective questions and practical insights, this conversation invites you to slow down, reconnect with your inner world, and explore what it truly means to become your own best friend. Topics include: Emotional regulation & experiential avoidanceThe neuroscience of emotions and traumaOverthinking, rumination & self-awarenessBody awareness and nervous system regulationInternal Family Systems (IFS) & inner partsPsychological flexibility & resilienceSelf-compassion as a daily practiceA thoughtful and grounding episode for anyone wanting to understand themselves more deeply and build a kinder relationship with their mind, body, and emotions.

    Feeling and Trusting Ourselves, a Journey of Courage

    In this episode, Valentina sits down with clinical psychologist Sofía Rumié to explore what resilience actually means beyond the pressure to “stay strong.” Together, they unpack self-compassion, trauma, emotional awareness, the inner critic, and the relationship between our light and shadow parts. Through conversations on Internal Family Systems, emotion-focused therapy, attachment theory, and the fear of feeling itself, this episode challenges the idea that resilience is becoming unbreakable. Instead, it becomes something softer, deeper, and more human: the ability to hold ourselves through discomfort without disconnecting from who we are. This conversation is for anyone learning to trust themselves.

    Science - Resilience in Relationship: Finding Beauty, Belonging & Strength in Adversity

    What if resilience isn’t something you build alone—but something that emerges through how you relate to life? In this episode, we reflect on the conversation with Marisa Valle and explore the science behind gratitude, awe, connection, and adversity. Through five key relationships—life, challenge, others, the inner voice, and the body—we uncover how resilience is shaped not just by mindset, but by biology, emotion, and connection. From the neuroscience of gratitude to the role of oxytocin in bonding, this episode bridges science and lived experience to reveal a powerful truth: even in difficulty, there is space for beauty, growth, and belonging.

    Returning to yourself - An interview about the strength of finding beauty in challenge

    In this deeply moving episode of Rise, Valentina sits down with educator and social-emotional learning expert Isabel Perez to explore a more honest, human definition of resilience. Through Isabel’s powerful personal story—navigating a life-altering diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and visible change—this conversation reframes resilience not as pushing through or “being strong,” but as the ability to return to yourself, again and again. Together, they unpack how resilience is built through connection, vulnerability, and community—not isolation. They reflect on the wisdom of children, the role of our inner voice, and how we lose (and can reclaim) our natural capacity to be open, present, and self-compassionate. This episode is an invitation to: Rethink what resilience really meansReconnect with your inner childFind beauty in unexpected placesAnd become a kinder companion to yourselfBecause resilience isn’t about becoming who you once were—it’s about embracing who you are now.

    Meeting the Moment: A Gentle Closing Ceremony for Life’s Cycles

    In this reflective closing episode, Valentina & Inma invite listeners into a quiet, intentional pause to honor the natural cycles that shape our lives—beginnings, middles, and endings. Through a simple five-minute guided ceremony, she encourages us to step out of constant motion and gently locate ourselves within a current personal cycle, whether in work, relationships, or inner growth. By tuning into the body, breath, and present moment, listeners are guided to ask: Where am I right now, and what is needed from me here? The practice emphasises responding with qualities like courage, patience, or release, depending on the phase we’re in. Ultimately, the episode is a reminder that life unfolds rhythmically. When we slow down to acknowledge and move with these cycles—rather than rushing ahead—we cultivate greater ease, presence, and fulfilment.

    Cycles up Close & Personal: Navigating Life, Uncertainty & Inner Rhythms

    In this deeply personal and reflective episode, we explore the reality of living through cycles—both internal and external—and what it truly means to stay resilient when you're in the middle of uncertainty. Valentina shares her journey of navigating months of job searching, the emotional toll of silence and rejection, and the strange adjustment that comes with finally reaching the end of a long-awaited cycle. Together, we unpack how difficult it is to trust that things will change when you’re stuck in the “nothingness” phase—and why awareness alone doesn’t make cycles easier to handle. We dive into the complexity of experiencing multiple cycles at once—from career transitions to family life to hormonal and emotional rhythms—and how overwhelming it can feel to respond to all of them at the same time. Inma brings in both scientific and holistic perspectives, explaining neurochemical cycles like dopamine drops, stress responses, and the importance of recovery phases that we often resist. The conversation also explores: The inner seasons of the menstrual cycle and how they shape emotions, energy, and self-perception The role of the inner critic, especially during more challenging phases Why closure matters—and how unfinished cycles create mental “noise” The power of reframing discomfort as information rather than failure How practices like journaling, self-awareness, and community support can help us move through cycles more consciously Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that cycles aren’t meant to be perfectly managed or beautifully lived at all times. Resilience isn’t about getting it right—it’s about continuing to show up, learning from each phase, and allowing both the highs and lows to have their place. And as always, we close by honouring that even this conversation is part of a cycle—one that we’ll intentionally complete in the next episode.
