Today's episode diverges from our typical format. It offers a sneak peek into a story of a profoundly personal experience. Join me as I sit down with my dear friend, Mona Esser, who is making her second appearance on the podcast. We gather at my apartment in Brooklyn to delve into her transformative journey to India.

For those who are not yet acquainted, Mona radiates vibrant energy as the driving force behind Be-Shen. Her intuitive growth practice offers a plethora of offerings, from group sessions to one-on-one Rashida journeys. Additionally, she serves as the creative director and co-founder of GEMSUN, a label known for its intuitively designed clothing and handmade accessories.

Now, let's delve into May and the numerology behind the number 5. Often dubbed the "think outside the box" number, 5 is all about exploration and experimentation, pushing boundaries to reach new heights. When you encounter the number 5, it's a sign of impending change, transformation, personal growth, adventure, and good fortune.

In terms of symbolism, 5 embodies the earth element, travel, communication, and the physical body. It's closely linked with the five senses and the hands—themes that tie into today's episode.

We delve deeply into the realm of Ayurveda, exploring the rich tapestry of sights, smells, tastes, sounds, communities, and experiences of India, as well as our broader travel adventures. With May upon us, it presents a prime opportunity for personal introspection and exploration. It's a chance to examine what's manifesting in your world and life, and to discern the shifts necessary to propel you toward your highest good.

With love,

Michaela

Today marks a special moment for We All Dream as we welcome our first male guest, Michel Oscar Monegro. And who better to launch this milestone than a big dreamer par excellence—a Pisces no less, perfectly timed with Pisces season.

Michel is the vision behind the dreamy and inclusive space known as LAOBRA.

“LAOBRA calls out to creators who feel disillusioned, creators who want to get back to creating what makes their heart sing. Beyond the unique design practice, the goal for LAOBRA is for it to become an ecosystem of unique spaces and resources. One that we can all use to work, play, create, and grow together with a sensitivity for the planet and our collective well-being.” - LAOBRA

From the stories of immigrant upbringings, to the delicate dance of career exploration amidst uncertain horizons, this journey leads us through the realms of enlightenment and self-discovery. It's a pilgrimage towards unraveling the tapestry of our purpose and dreams, nurturing them until they blossom in full splendor. In the times of Capricorn, ego-driven individualism fades into memory, making way for the dawn of the age of Aquarius. Here, the focus shifts to the collective, to community, and to finding our individuality in harmony with others.

This episode embodies the essence of this cosmic transition, guiding us through the intertwining paths of personal growth and collective evolution. And after you listen to today’s episode I challenge you to ask yourself, what is your why?

While this episode may be longer than usual, I assure you it's a treasure trove of inspiration, destined to be revisited whenever you need a gentle dose of motivation and hope it inspires you to dream big on this Pisces new moon!

Today’s guest is Clémence Polès.

Clémence is the founder of passerby, an online magazine and community that celebrates the women who pass us by.

Passerby was born from her curiosity about the women she encountered all too briefly while people-watching. Wanting to hear from the people who sat beside her on the subway, from those who served her coffee or passed her on the sidewalk, she set out to broaden the scope of typical media portrayals, asking the women she saw to speak with her.

Hundreds of conversations later, passerby has become a venue for a diversity of perspectives, a driver of creative exchange, and a home for a community of worldwide passersby. passerby pushes against traditional narratives of who is seen and what can be discussed, providing a rare space for reflection on an increasingly busy internet. 

From waitressing to building passerby from the ground up, Clémence independently learned everything from photography to coding in order to bring her vision for Passerby to fruition.

In today’s episode we chat about our upbringings with immigrant parents, developing your craft and learning how to build projects from the ground up, and remembering to celebrate and reflect on your journey along the way.
