Ça Bouge ! with Sabou

In this episode, I talk about my mom — who just left for two weeks to the UK to learn English. And it made me reflect on who she is, everything she’s lived, everything she’s carried as a woman, a mother, a wife… and the courage it takes to still choose yourself at any point in life. Watching her do this feels like a reminder. That it’s never too late. That you can still go for it. That life is sho...

In this episode, I talk about a tension I’ve been feeling. Between the version of me that already works — the dancer, the teacher, the one that’s proven — and the version that’s emerging. The one that speaks, shares, and leads with ideas. And the question underneath it all: Do I trust that this version of me is enough? I reflect on my natural way of building — creating first, letting people come a...

In this episode, I reflect on why I want to build my playground — and what it really represents for me. I realized I’m craving spaces where we feel excited again. About life, about possibilities, about creating, moving, doing. Because lately, it feels like we spend so much time trying to fix ourselves. Healing, analyzing, unblocking… always focusing on what’s wrong. And I’m asking myself: what if...

In this episode, I reflect on my relationship with my voice. How I’ve often used it to shout, to push, to be heard — and how lately, I feel the desire to do it differently. To soften. To speak from another place. This reflection came after my first somatic experiencing session, which brought up a lot about how I express myself and how that lives in my body. This one is about unlearning, experiment...

In this episode, I reflect on friendships — and the fact that we rarely update them. We sign contracts for everything in life: work, phone bills, subscriptions. But friendships? We often let them run on assumptions, without ever checking in on what we actually want, need, or are willing to give. After everything 2025 brought me, I’ve been questioning the kind of friend I want to be moving forward...

In this episode, I realized something mid-way: this is episode 50. I hadn’t posted in about 10 days, and I almost felt like I had lost the rhythm. But recording this brought me back to why I started this podcast in the first place. I reflect on what this space means to me, how it connects to my playground philosophy, and to my word of the year — integrity. It’s a simple moment. A bit all over the...

In this episode, I reflect on my Ramadan — what I experienced, what I learned, and how it changed me. I talk about the guilt I felt for not finishing it the way I thought I should, and how that led me to question what connection to God really means for me. This one is about realizing that there isn’t just one way to connect. That faith can take many forms. And that starting with your heart — with...

In this episode, I share a small moment that felt like a big reminder. After getting in my head because of a comment on one of my videos, I found myself slipping back into performance, doubt, and overthinking. And then… I saw a ladybug. And dolphins. It might sound simple, but to me, it felt like a sign. A reminder to slow down, to come back to myself, to stay in my heart instead of my head. I tal...

In this episode, I reflect on my creative process through something I know very well: freestyle. When I dance and don’t think, don’t control, don’t remember — it’s always better. I’m in it, I feel it, and people feel it too. But the moment I start thinking, trying to control it… it loses something. I realized I’m doing the same with my content and my projects. I’ve always been someone who jumps fa...

In this episode, I share a moment of deep gratitude. For someone who often says she doesn’t fully know where she’s going, I realize that the past few months — and really the past few years — have revealed a lot. I talk about faith, about my relationship with God, about Maktub — what is written is written — and about how every decision, every risk, every mistake, and every leap compounds into the l...

In this episode, I reflect on the feeling that time is somehow… different here. People take their time. At the coffee shop, at the grocery store, in small everyday interactions. Phones are away, conversations last a little longer, and there’s a real sense that people care — about what they do and about the people in front of them. It made me realize how precious time and human connection actually...

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful coincidence. Exactly one year ago, I got evicted. And today, without planning it, I went to request my social security number in Sardinia. A small administrative step — but a deeply symbolic one for me. It made me pause and look back at the past year, at all the decisions that brought me here. The painful ones, the uncertain ones, the leaps of faith. I talk...

In this episode, I share a moment of realization: I’m living a life I’ve been dreaming about for the past two years. Being in Italy, going to the markets, buying fresh fruits, talking to vendors — simple moments that once felt like a distant dream. I talk about the importance of pausing to acknowledge these moments. Because we walk a lot with faith, with uncertainty, putting in the steps without a...

In this episode, I reflect on something simple I’ve noticed about myself: I’m a creature of habits. Right now, it shows up in the way I keep going back to the same coffee spot every day. And instead of seeing it as boring, I’ve realized it’s actually how I experience a place more deeply. It’s about having a sense of agency over the story I’m living, rather than constantly chasing recommendations o...

In this episode, I reflect on how easy it is to lose connection with ourselves. How many of our choices are shaped by expectations, habits, or what others think we should do. I share small moments in my life where I actually knew what I wanted, but didn’t listen because of outside pressure. And how traveling — like being in Italy right now — can sometimes create another version of that pressure: t...

In this episode, I finally talk about Italy — and why I felt called to come here. I reflect on my connection with Sardinia, where I spent the past five summers, and how the last two years slowly shifted something in me. A desire for a different rhythm of life. Something more human, more connected, closer to what actually matters to me. This trip is part of that exploration. Only day four, with mor...

In this episode, I share a very simple, very human moment. It’s the first time I’m fasting alone this Ramadan. After spending the first ten days with my mom, being together, sharing meals and that sense of family, tonight feels different. I talk about missing her, about being grateful for the time we had, and about the strange coexistence of emotions — feeling a little sad while also feeling deepl...

In this episode, I reflect on my theme of the year: choose yourself, approve of yourself. I share how this journey is unfolding in real life. With my podcast and storytelling project, it feels playful and free — like I’m creating just for the joy of it. But when it comes to social media, I notice something different. The pull of external approval is still there. So I talk about that honestly. The...

In this episode, I walk with my mom for a conversation about audacity and courage. We talk about her life — a life mostly lived in responsibility, caring for others, showing up for everyone else first. And what it means now, at 63, to start asking different questions. To listen to her own desires. To slow down. To explore. To take risks again. For me, this conversation is also about witnessing her...

In this episode, I reflect on the first week of Ramadan and the contradictions I’ve been noticing in myself. How quickly I drifted back into looking outside for inspiration, validation, direction — and how exhausting that felt. Obsessing, comparing, searching… instead of staying with what’s already inside. I talk about self-approval again, about insecurities, about the pressure that builds when we...

In this episode, I share what fasting is teaching me right now. About empathy. About feeling more connected to my people and more compassionate toward others. About time stretching and energy feeling different — not infinite, but precious. Ramadan is bringing me back to presence. To faith. To a deeper sense of awareness. And somehow, it’s also strengthening my self-approval — choosing not to justi...

In this episode, I talk about something that feels more and more essential to me: self-approval. Not success in the loud, visible sense — but the kind that starts inside. Approving your thoughts, your feelings, your interests, your foundations, your message. For most of my life, my ratio felt like 30% self-approval and 70% external validation. Now, it’s slowly flipping. And that shift changes ever...

In this episode, I reflect on my social media journey — not from a strategy lens, but from a gratitude one. What’s happening right now with Instagram, the storytelling project, the podcast… it feels like a gift that keeps unfolding. Not because of numbers, but because of what it’s doing to me. Consistency, showing up, choosing integrity, choosing self-improvement — these were my non-negotiables. A...

In this episode, I reflect on a conversation that shook something in me. I realized how quickly I think about who I might disappoint, who I might let down, who might reject or abandon me — instead of asking what I actually need. Raising my standards used to feel scary. Like I was risking connection. But by the end of that conversation, I felt something else: relief. Peace. This one is about choosi...

In this episode, I reflect on the choice to start again — not for a specific goal this time, but simply because I feel called to. Ten years ago, I moved with a plan. Now, I’m moving with intuition. A one-way ticket. A blank page. I talk about courage, about being older and “wiser,” about the stress and the excitement of beginning from scratch again. And how this season of my life feels like being...
