Brave Recovery with Antonio De Sousa

In Episode 5 Antonio  He shares his true account of life changing lessons that helped him make suffering work in his favour.  After coming to learn about personal development and going down the route of spirituality a huge shift happened within him. He began to self enquire which led him to take an interest on reverse engineering his life all the way back to the day he was formed within his mothers womb. "How have that must have felt like to be born?" he wondered? and then going from one push to another throughout the rest of your life. He's passionate about giving sensitive subjects a voice, promoting transparency and advocating that vulnerability is real strength. He came to realise the biggest virtue we can all have is bravery. Comfort is the enemy of progress. Change is the only one thing constant and the only truth promised to us all is death of this body. We might as well make it a good one. He hopes to inspire others to stop chasing the illusion in front of them and awaken to who they truly are. A magnificent being.   

Please listen in to Antonio's Being Brave Story of how he shifted out of active addiction and started writing his book as a way to face his demons and release them. 

Antonio is a plasterer by trade and now an esteemed author and coach at U-volve.

What happens when you move from a life of tech to one of intuition and art?

What happens when you move from a life of tech to one of intuition and art?

What if the career you're currently in no longer fits who you are and who you are becoming?  Do you stick it out?  Start a side-hustle?  Or do you follow that signs and nudges along the way and create something totally new based in your creative passion?  This is Kittie's story of just that, as she shifts from a successful career in tech to one of pure intuition and creation.

Kittie channels the ancient power of her Norse ancestry through every offering she creates by tending the sacred forge of creative fire and embodying the Old Ways in this New World. Her offerings are handcrafted, naturally beautiful products for people who crave a deeper connection with intuition, ritual, and magic in their everyday lives.
