The Real Question

This is really truly a special show. I come to it when I want to hear a convo that I feel like is between friends, and inevitably I end up turning inwards and have a conversation with myself. I think the new host Mauricio is incredibly insightful and fun and charming and thoughtful. Definitely worth a listen or several! I do have one criticism: it should come with free tissues because it SO often, even when I don’t expect it, makes me emotional and teary eyed. In a good way. 🩷

I really love hearing the host help people come to their own solutions on the problems they bring. As someone who has toyed with the idea of becoming a therapist myself, I’m learning a lot! Whenever it would be my instinct to push someone on something, he opts to pivot and ends up peeling back some other layer in a different way. The dance is masterful and respectful. The guests are also so well spoken and self aware. Love it

I have listened to nearly every episode so far and learn so much each week about my own limiting narratives and questions. It seems to me that it almost comes down to fear - what is at the root of our question and why do we fear it? Once these gentle and competent hosts help the questioner decide what the real question is, then they offer a reframe based in love - how can I honor my desires and needs more? What if I trust myself? Thank you, Vanessa, Mauricio and the whole team (and every caller) for helping me heal my own fears!

I found this podcast after Mauricio took over and I love all of his episodes. I’ll eventually peek into the back catalog but I wanted to give him credit for continuing someone else’s project while also making it his own. He is grounded and centered and connected and models excellent communication in each episode.
