the eunoia podcast

alessia maria

Hi. When I was 15, I developed a rare illness that left me in a state of psychosis. I made myself a promise- if I made it out alive, I would build a space to exist in true humanity; none of us have this life figured out. At least I don't. So here lies my passion project: a journal of a life broken and unbroken again. Welcome to eunoia; I'm glad you’re here. amariavn.substack.com

    not everything needs an explanation

    Thank you for 100K listens! This episode was prerecorded, but I wanted to thank you all here. I truly am still not able to wrap my mind around it. Thank you for being in our community! Today's episode: not everything has an answer, an explanation, or even a reason. This is something I've struggled my whole life to understand, and I am still working on it. Welcome to a few conversations I've been having with my counselor lately. Maybe it can help you too... About the Podcast Eunoia means "beautiful thinking," and that's exactly our goal here.

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!

    values... and what happened when mine were questioned

    My mom raised me with two main values: respect for all, and the ability to place yourself in others' shoes. But, over the years, I've begun to discover what happens (for me) when those values are questioned in an unhealthy way. Today's episode is an open journal. Let me know your thoughts. Prefer Spotify?
