It will help you understand your own process and hopefully bring you some peace. Cheers, Traver

Men and women. So equal but at the same time so different. Over the centuries, the relationship between man and woman has become distant, putting each one at opposite poles and in a certain way distorting reality where man has seen himself multiple times above the female sex in different aspects when the reality couldn't be further from that. In this unplugged episode, we will have an incredible c...

In this episode I’m taking a different approach to talking about mass shootings as it seems the most common arguments just lead to circular conversations with lots of passion that go nowhere.

Yes, I know that guns play a role in them as well (please read into...
