Go Slow with Jo

How many times do you tell yourself "oh no, no, now I have to stop, now I have to be more this or that"? On this episode I tell you about my last week (when I was organizing and guiding a retreat) and one of my previous processes of self-sabotage... now that it already happened, I want to tell you about this in more detail and I really hope it helps you. Because you deserve to live your...

This is not just "another info" about the importance of gratitude! On this episode I tell you about the core of gratitude in life, which comes from our relationship with our parents. The Portuguese word I said was "vida" :)

On this episode I tell you about my perspective that leads us to "assuming" things about other people. It is very common that we feel that we need to have a "certain" story about everyone we know or that we see. So my perspective comes from this! The Portuguese word I said was "suposição" :)

I am going through a changing process and I am here to tell you about this + sharing thoughts about things that we know that need to be changed but in a way they take their time to actually change... it's life and life is about evolving, so it can take all the time it needs to change! In this process of changing many things in my life I am here to tell you also that I am LOOKING FOR JOY in life :)...

I know I have talked a lot about throat chakra but my healing process is always happening and during these past days, this healing went even deeper and I decided to commit to it. On this episode I bring you at least 8 lessons from my throat chakra and everything where the throat chakra touches your life! The Portuguese word I said was "garganta" :)

On this episode I tell you about my 2 weeks offline and I bring you a mantra that lead me to find courage inside of me. My mantra is: Fear is not here to stop you to do what you have to do, it is here for you to find courage! The Portuguese word I said was "coragem" :)

There is not doubt that nowadays everyone is looking for "self love" or ways how to love oneself more. I love this and self love is my "back to basics" at all times, no matter what happens in my life I know this is the "concept" I can always go back to. During my journey I had to start to understand that loving myself and seeing myself as a priority in my life didn't mean I was a selfish person. H...

On this episode I tell you about our inner child's needs and its way of behaving through our life when we don't take its needs into consideration! Healing our inner child is in my perspective a long term journey and from my experience this side of us has to have its place into our lives BUT shouldn't be able to lead our life at 100%. On this episode I tell you why. The Portuguese expression I said...

Sometimes we come up with excuses so we don't live our lives up to our full potential because we tend to think that we are not enough (which also feeds this society of constantly consuming courses, tutorials, etc).  On this episode I tell you more than 1 example of mine in regards to this and I share with you some advices so you can start overcoming this "excuses" mindset! The Portuguese expr...

In this episode I talk (a lot) about commitment and the commitment to your own self development journey.  Lately I have been feeling that it's very easy for us to enroll in many courses, classes, even therapies and then we end up not being really committed to what we have signed up to. During the episode I share some personal examples of commitment and I also leave you here some suggestions o...

In this (very emotional) episode I tell you into more detail the process of my thyroid tumor.  What I share here are "pieces" of this time of my life that I knew I had to share at some point, I just didn't know exactly how - so here it goes! These "details" stayed with me this whole time, so I felt that now was the time to tell you about the deep meaning of some events that happened during th...

Hello dear 2023 listeners :) in this episode I talk about my feeling of appreciation regarding the year 2022 and I also bring you 2 main topics that caught up my attention when I saw Avatar 2. In the episode I analise these 2 topics through the lens of Family Constellations. The word I say in Portuguese is "Gratidão" :)

In this episode I talk about the feeling of "feeling lost"!  At some point we have all been there (or are there) right? Here I share my vision as a person & as a therapist about where this feeling comes from and suggestions to help you out during these days. The Portuguese word I shared was "Amor" :)

After the last episode's topic: about the real importance of being part of a community, I want to tell you why you might still feel like you don't belong! I explain where the Exclusion comes from (based on Family Constellations - and the "order of love" of belonging) and I provide you with many different examples of my life where I felt this. Also, I clarify an important detail: growing apart. The...

This is the first episode in english of Go Slow with Jo Podcast! And I will be telling you all about my search for a community in the past months and why it is so important for us, as human beings. Side note: on minute 01:04 I mean the name of the first episode of the podcast is "I don't have enough things to SAY" instead of "I don't have enough things to do"

Neste episódio falo-te sobre uma realidade que em certo momento me assustou enquanto terapeuta. Sobre a REALIDADE nas partilhas, sobre a vivência da VERDADE de um para o outro, independentemente de se ter um serviço para o mundo ou não!

Como prometido (no instagram) trago-te este tema sobre o objetivo real da "inspiração" e também exemplos pessoais onde a inspiração por vezes me travou, até que percebi que esse não era o seu real objetivo!

Neste episódio trago-te as minhas perspectivas enquanto terapeuta da razão de estares ainda à espera de resolver certos temas dolorosos na tua vida. E questiono-te... "porquê esperar?" com muita compaixão e amor pela tua jornada pessoal, trazendo-te a necessidade de te consciencializares do que ainda te está a travar.

Em emoção, conto-te sobre os vários empregos que tive até hoje (por conta de outrem) e as maiores lições que aprendi com a minha experiência em cada um deles! Porque há sempre pelo menos uma lição a tirar de cada experiência que vivemos, de cada local do qual fazemos parte (seja por muito ou por pouco tempo).

Porque nem sempre o que não vai para a frente significa que foi um falhanço! Aceitarmos o que vamos sentindo ao longo do percurso é muito importante e percebermos que o nosso foco pode mudar também. Ouvir a intuição para avançar e recuar. Neste episódio falo-te também sobre a minha semana, a experiência com uma cerimónia do cacau e trago-te ainda mais informação sobre o NÃO.

Neste episódio falo-te sobre a minha história com o "não". No meu desenvolvimento pessoal esta foi uma das minhas maiores aprendizagens... e por isso trago-te a minha história e também a minha aprendizagem com esta palavra tão poderosa e tão mágica!

A nossa mensagem pode chegar ao mundo de formas diferentes mas não devemos nunca desistir com base nisso! Focus on the bigger picture e acima de tudo no teu objetivo como que fazes. Baseado no documentário da JLo e também sobre: a audiência do podcast, a minha forma de lidar com processos terapêuticos e sobre o Louvre.

Quando trabalhamos a nossa criança interior, passamos a poder decidir como adultos face a ela! Esta semana tive de decidir sobre 2 coisas distintas, de formas totalmente diferentes e igualmente respeitadoras da minha criança e da minha adulta.

Quando o ego nos bate à porta mas escolhemos que não fale mais alto que a nossa própria voz! Um episódio introdutório sobre este podcast e o seu objetivo. www.joanacostapessoa.com
