I believe it takes radical courage to go slow in a world of such urgency and haste.
In the past three months, my life took an unexpected turn after the sudden loss of my beloved soul dog, Rad. The weight of grief hit me like a car, causing my legs to fail me and leaving me unable to walk. In this disabled state, I found solace in living each moment as a walking meditation, embracing the beauty and power of a slow-paced existence. As I surrendered to this new way of living, I made a conscious choice to continue down this path, even as my legs slowly regained their strength.Through this journey, I came to realize that slow and steady doesn't just win the race—I see now that there is no race. No longer willing to partake in the urgency and stress of our culture, I share my story of how radical grief and pain led me to embrace my authentic spacious slower pace, despite the world's constant rush.
In this episode of Masterful Listening my intention is to offer you, the listener, an invitation to not wait like I did for the universe to force you into a slow and handicapped state, but to choose to start practicing moving slow even if just a little bit every day. Ironically, the slower I move, the sooner the things I've been wanting seem to be coming to me.
This one is dedicated to the greatest teacher of my life, Rad, who in his infinite wisdom is still teaching me lessons from beyond.

In this episode of Masterful Listening, I recount the day of my immigration from Moldova, a twist of fate that coincided with the actual closure of the borders on the eve of the USSR's collapse.
In Moldova, my family was relatively well-off despite the constraints of the USSR. Overnight, my journey took a significant turn as I experienced life as a refugee and immigrant in Brooklyn, NY navigating the challenges of starting anew in pursuit of the American dream.
At the age of 20, I stumbled upon "The Geography of Bliss," a book that revealed Moldova's status as the world's unhappiest country, sparking a decade-long exploration into the essence of happiness. This discovery led me through a decade of research, a journey through depression, and ultimately transformation.
From experiencing welfare to gaining access to private school and a middle-class American lifestyle, I witnessed firsthand the stark contrast between different states of being. My path eventually led me to California, where I now live a life that once felt utterly unattainable.
Through my story, I invite the audience to explore beyond the conventional notions of happiness and embrace a life enriched by resilience, compassion, and meaning. It was only when I stopped seeking happiness that my life turned into one of profound gratitude for the multidimensionality of the human experience.

This episode of Masterful Listening is inspired by this quote from Gary Vee -
"I am willing to deal with the ramifications of being my full self."I reflect on the importance of accepting the repercussions of being true to oneself.
Especially, considering the cost of abandoning ourselves.
Despite my efforts to avoid upsetting others or making a negative impression, I realize that compromising my full self ultimately leads to dissatisfaction and discord. Through introspection and self-discovery, I acknowledge the power and beauty of expressing and fully embracing our unique individuality.
This episode serves as a tribute to the strength found in embracing our true selves, unapologetically and wholeheartedly.Masterful Listening is sponsored by Rad Hats For Rad Humans. 30% of every purchase goes towards mental health initiatives.

In this episode of "Masterful Listening," I share the transformative insights gained from a recent therapy session. It helped me realize ( and remember) that as adults, it is our own responsibility to save ourselves, rather than relying on others to do so.
While as children we needed others to care for us, as adults, we have the power to take care of ourselves and avoid self-abandonment. Taking full responsibility for our own growth and well-being not only benefits ourselves but also contributes to the growth of those around us.
Join me as I explore the empowering journey of self-rescue and the impact it can have on personal development and relationships.

As I delve into the topic of "Manifesting Magic In Our Lives" I explore the question " what am I looking for?"
When we seek magic, we discover enchantment in the everyday, but when we anticipate problems, challenges seem to multiply. This principle extends to our interactions with others – if we anticipate defensiveness, we may unknowingly provoke it.
By examining our preconceptions and expectations, we can cultivate greater awareness of our perceptions and responses. Join me in uncovering the power of intention and attention in shaping our realities and relationships.
Check out the two books I mention in the episode and shout out to Dr. James Doty.
Thank you for all of your wisdom.

Buckle up... this is a great episode for anyone who struggles to be direct OR who is often finding their directness isn't landing well with others...
In my first ever corporate sales job, I found myself being VERY direct with the VP of Sales and well, it was a pivotal moment that showed me who I want to be, and the kind of work environment I would not tolerate. In a lot of ways, this experience captures so much of what I see as problematic within the corporate world today. And - it has continued to inspire me, and teach me so many valuable lessons which I am grateful to be able to share with you.
In this episode I explore the transformative power of direct communication and the kindness it embodies. Misconceptions surrounding directness as aggression are debunked as we uncover its true value in fostering trust and clarity in relationships, both professional and personal.
By embracing directness as an act of kindness, I've learned to navigate conflicts, cultivate trust, and enhance communication effectiveness. Join me on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we unravel the mantra that "direct is kind" and explore the profound impact of embracing authenticity and clarity in our interactions.Masterful Listening is sponsored by Rad Hats For Rad Humans. 30% of every purchase goes towards mental health initiatives.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my lifelong struggle with weight and body image, and how it has shaped my perception of beauty.
Throughout my life, I constantly compared myself to unrealistic standards set by magazines, celebrities, and even my family and friends. Despite being told I was beautiful, I never truly believed it, always finding flaws to criticize. However, my journey took a profound turn when I gained nearly 50 pounds and shaved off my most prized physical feature - my hair.
Through this experience, I discovered a newfound sense of empowerment. I realized that my worth and sense of self were no longer tied to the number on the scale or societal standards of beauty. It was through the practice of Masterful Listening that I redefined beauty and discovered my own authentic beauty beyond superficial appearances.
In this episode, I invite you to join me as we delve into the concept of authentic beauty and the transformative power of Masterful Listening. Together, we'll explore how true beauty is not determined by external factors, but rather by embracing and celebrating our unique selves.
Get ready to be inspired as we embark on a journey of self-acceptance, self-love, and breaking free from the shackles of societal expectations.
