Welcome to the episode!😊

In this episode, I interview Carla Crivaro, a salsa partner and relationship coach who specialises in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of sex, love, and relationships. Carla discusses the patterns people fall into when choosing partners and how unconscious beliefs play a significant role in these dynamics.

She elaborates on the common "mother-son" dynamic in relationships, where women may take on a nurturing role, and men may become passive. Carla explains how working with one partner can often shift the entire relationship dynamic, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and personal development.

Carla highlights the importance of clear communication and understanding individual needs. Additionally, she draws parallels between relationships and salsa dancing, illustrating how learning to follow and not predict a partner’s moves can enhance both dancing and relational interactions.

Key Takeaway:

A significant transformation in relationships can occur by working on oneself. Personal growth and self-awareness are crucial, and individuals can change relational dynamics even if only one partner is actively seeking support.

Timestamp Highlights:

- [03:24] Common patterns in relationship choices and unconscious beliefs.

- [05:19] The mother-son dynamic and its impact on relationships.

- [06:19] The importance of self-development in changing relationship dynamics.

- [10:59] Parallels between salsa dancing and relationship dynamics.

- [12:44] The role of communication and synergy in partnerships.

Carla's Quotes:

“It's really important to emphasize that a lot of it is an unconscious belief that you're not really aware of.”

“You can work with an individual to help change the relationship.”

“It's more important to be on the beat than to be in the regimen of the dance move.”

I had so much fun meeting up again with Vielka! She is a voice coach who specializes in teaching children to sing with confidence through her unique voice method.

Vielka believes singing and finding your voice is about far more than just the technical skill - it's about building confidence, self-expression and connecting with your emotions.

She discusses her journey to becoming a voice teacher, from being a shy kid who discovered her passion for singing, to studying classical voice, and then realizing her calling was helping others find their voice.

The Vielka method emphasizes empathy, listening and meeting students where they are as key to her teaching approach, rather than harsh criticism.

Finding your voice through singing develops powerful life skills - determination, adaptability, confidence, emotional awareness, and the ability to resonate and connect with others.

These skills translate to many professional settings like public speaking, presenting, and reading the emotional resonance of a room.

The ONE Thing:

Developing your singing voice is about far more than just technical vocal skills. The journey of finding and expressing your unique voice builds invaluable life skills like confidence, emotional intelligence and the ability to truly connect with others through resonance - making it immensely empowering for people of all ages.

Omaer Rana is a coach who helps big tech professionals lower stress and achieve success through his company Surefire Coaching.

He discusses the challenges faced by high performers in the tech industry, such as long hours, never-ending to-do lists, lack of work-life balance, and job insecurity.

Omaer emphasizes the importance of disconnecting from technology and being present, suggesting techniques like doing a "tech flip" where devices are turned off and put away.

He talks about the need to establish boundaries between work and personal life, including truly disconnecting during vacations.

Omaer explores the underlying belief of "not being good enough" that often drives high performers to overwork and struggle with celebrating wins.

He recommends taking breaks from devices, even for short periods, to reclaim a sense of freedom and allow time for reflection.

The ONE Thing :

One key takeaway is Omaer's recommendation to occasionally leave your phone behind and spend time device-free, even if just for 30 minutes to an hour. This can help reduce stress, increase presence, and reconnect with a sense of freedom and the simpler joys in life that are often overlooked when tethered to technology.
