Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova

Many of us worry a lot. We worry about our families, friends, our future, our jobs. But think about this: "How many things we worry about never actually happen?" Since we all know the true answer to this question, it's imperative to learn the skill of emotional management by being aware of our thoughts and working with them. Handling challenges isn't about surviving them but also about managing th...

No matter how much personal development you do, addressing new things in your life will always challenge you.  Changing yourself, your old patterns, your behavior, your toxic traits or your limiting beliefs takes courage and true dedication to your growth.  In today's episode, I want to share with you what are the two most common challenges we face when it comes to changing our lives. Although you...

Well, hello my beautiful soul. Let me ask you a question: "In your day to day life, do you choose more love or more pain?" We can argue that often, we don't choose pain or at least think we don't. So let me explain. Last week, I put a quote on my Instagram that says: "Self-Forgiveness is loving yourself more than the pain you feel." But do we choose self-forgiveness as a way of choosing love, or d...

Well, hello there! Since it's about to go down in a few days and my very first course "The Ultimate Self-Forgiveness" is launching on February 14th, in today's podcast episode, I want to talk to you about the four stages of self-forgiveness. Also, I want you to think of the stage you are currently in. Since people often ask me what it means to manifest your dream life through healing, here is how...

The number one reason why we live or choose to stay in denial is FEAR. Although fear in this instance can have many forms, in the end, it's all about the willingness to face the truth. The truth about the situation we are in, the truth about ourselves, the truth about our healing or unresolved pain from the past. You know, my friend, the thing with denial is that no matter how hard we try to look...

I was talking with my good friend, and we were brainstorming what has been the biggest game-changer when it comes to embracing self-love. We both agreed it has been the shadow work as well as addressing and accepting things we don't like about ourselves. Shadow work isn't about changing things you don't like but about accepting them as they are - that's the challenge. Here are some questions I wan...

"How can we love ourselves and others without condition, prejudice, judgment, expectations, and criticism?" It is one of the biggest questions that I have been thinking about lately. Often our love is based on conditions, not only towards others but also towards ourselves. We think, "If you do X, Y, Z, then I will love you and approve of you." But what if the person we expect something from doesn'...

In today's episode, we will talk about experiencing discomfort on purpose. That is a certain level of pain we consciously choose to go through in order to grow faster, understand more, and level up our spiritual journey.  Discomfort in and of itself often isn't something we desire or feel excited about unless there is a bigger goal associated with it.  So if your goal is to experience discomfort o...

Since I want us to start this new year strong, today we are going to address the subtle inner voice inside of you.  Does this voice support you and empower you or is it shaming you and keeps you small?  I see so many people posting on social media about 2021 being a year without toxic relationships and non-supportive family and friends. But my question to you is; "What if we are the ones who are t...

Today, I will share with you three principles I decided to keep real with myself in the new year and invite you to apply some of them (or all of them) to your life too. Before we dive into the topic, I want you to join me (during this podcast episode) to deeply reflect on one single thing you feel utterly grateful for when it comes to 2020.  We all can agree that 2020 got a pretty bad reputation....

Since our focus is often on what we need to become or what habits we need to develop in order to achieve our goals, in today's podcast episode we are going to talk about everything we need to unbecome to find the path back to ourselves and slay 2021 like a true manifesting boss.  In today's podcast episode, there are two most important questions I want you to think about:  "Why aren't we all those...

Well, hello my friend.  If you tell me a year ago that healing can increase chances to achieve my goals and become more in love with myself, I wouldn't probably listen to you.  But since 2020 created a breakthrough in my growth and made me understand the impact of my limiting beliefs and pains, I can see how we all can use it to our advantage.  When we talk GOALS, we often think of setting up the...

I decided to do personal research to find out what are the most common reasons we shy away from healing,  Honestly, I wasn't all that surprised.  As a recovering tough cookie and someone who was terrified by facing my feelings, I get how difficult or confusing it is to face some of our pains or things from the past.  But... I also know how liberating and peaceful it is to address them and how it a...

Since the environment we grew up in affects our beliefs and perceptions on a huge scale, it may limit us and create stories that aren't empowering. And what seemed as an innocent memory, turns into a strong belief and self-definition of who we are and what we are capable of.  However, once we reach the point of adulthood, the power is given to us.  We can decide, we can change, we can manifest, we...

Today's podcast episode is going to be quite personal. It isn't a topic I am eager to talk about but a subject we should address.  Since the beginning of this year, I've met quite a few women who shared with me their personal stories I could relate to. Although it surprised me at first, it also made me aware that many women were molested or have a similar experience. Since talking about the hard s...

When I started my journey of healing and feeling, I had no idea what to expect. At first, I thought it is all about journaling and sage until I became serious and started discovering the spectacular benefits of addressing my life's situation.  However, emotional healing is a dynamic process. Since you are dealing with many emotions and past experiences, it's natural to find it challenging, overwhe...

Some of your habits you've adopted or behaviors you've learned came from the times of struggle and survival. They allowed you to build mental resilience and value the results you've been able to accomplish.  I bet you can agree with me on this one - Yes or Yes? However, this type of growth becomes ineffective when we link our identity to pains and the past that prevents us from moving forward and...

Hello, my friend.  One of the reasons why I consider mental and physical health so crucial for manifesting your dreams is because it all comes down to the quality of emotions that predominate your life.  From what I observed, many of us struggle to maintain a positive state of mind. We are drowning in guilt and shame, constantly beating ourselves down, striving for perfection or we feel resentment...

Let's do a fun exercise together. Imagine your ideal future and see everything that you have ever dreamed of. See it as something you already have, an energy that is present in your life right now. For an even deeper experience, close your eyes while doing this. Now, tell me, how did it feel? If you tuned in, quite fantastic. I asked you to do it since I know that you have dreams. I know that you...

Well my friend, we need to be honest with each other. Many of us don't allow ourselves to feel. Not because we don't want to open up and share, but because we are afraid of transparency and judgment.  I've had clients told me that they want to feel empowered, but they weren't sure how to embody this feeling.  I always smile when I hear this because this has been a struggle I've fought for many yea...

Today, my friend, we are going to address one of the most common struggles we all face: the busyness syndrome. I already know you are feelin' me so let me ask you a question: "How big is your to-do list? How many things are on your plate daily that you need to do or create or figure out? AND...what if I tell you that the need to be always BUSY is a response to trauma and self-worth?" Since I am cu...

In today's podcast episode, I want to talk to every strong woman who is doing her best she can but still finds herself feeling inadequate and not strong enough.  Since no one has all the answers and we all need a break, it's safe to say that taking the "I have my shit together" mask off is the surest way to fulfillment and true authenticity.  Many of us have developed a belief that we have to be s...

One of the biggest topics that have flooded the internet in the personal development industry is self-love. There are so many feelings about what it is, how it shows up in our lives and whether we believe that we deserve it?  Do you know why we hear about this concept so much? Because it's missing in our society. So many of us desperately search for a partner, someone who can love us. We crave it...

Each of us is motivated by either pain or pleasure. We use them interchangeably but one of them often predominates.  For most of my life, I thought that it doesn't matter which one of those motivates me more as long as I am motivated and driven.  As I discovered later on, there is a difference in whether we are motivated by pain or pleasure. It shows in our emotional state, as well as a willingnes...

Emotions are a driving force of our actions. We act based on how we feel, not how we think.  Learning how to manage our emotional state is crucial for healthy personal relationships as well as a career or a business. How many times have we acted based on our emotions, and later felt like we overreacted or took an argument to a higher level? It happened to all of us - no judgment here, my friend. T...
