On this episode, I speak about the lie behind the claim of having Zero Impact on the World and how becoming a work in progress is a better approach to improve our communities.

On this episode, I analyse how the things that we believe to be true might have been planted in our brain by those who are trying to divide our societies.

On this episode, I list all the good things that happened to me this year in an effort to reclaim 2020. I don't want to look back in 30 years and only remember the sad things that happened this year. 

This episode is an extract from a conversation that I had on Instagram Live with Patricia Rangel about social media and mental health. 

On this episode, I reminisce about what a former co-worker told me that happiness meant to hear and use it as a self-reflection at the end of a tough year.
