I haven’t even had time to properly share this with you…and yet, our new article already passed 100 views in just two days.

Why?

Because the content touches something deep.

But it took years to prove it.

Hundreds of participants.

Dozens of conversations.

And the collaboration of some brilliant trailblazers like Bianca Acevedo, PhD, Moises Betancort, Marta Sadurní, and also the support of Michael Pluess and many others, to finally translate what many of us fee, into what the scientific community will recognize.

📌 Here’s the core insight:

Highly sensitive mothers in expatriate contexts aren’t more vulnerable.

With the right support, they’re more adaptive.

More attuned.

More resilient.

For too long, Sensory Processing Sensitivity has been framed ONLY as fragility. Our data shows (and supports the data of many other colleagues in the field like Antonio Chacon, Manuela Pérez Chacón, Mariluz Morales Botello, PhD Neuroscience) that it can be a strength, especially when the world around you is in constant motion.

So If you’ve ever felt “too sensitive” while navigating change, this one’s for you.

Unlocking Self-Awareness in your employees: The Pathway to their Optimal State, enhancing productivity and engagement

Self-awareness isn't just about knowing yourself; it's the key that opens the door to accessing your optimal state. But what exactly is this optimal zone? It's not just a fleeting moment of flow; it's about consistently being your best self day after day.

Picture this: being more creative, more productive, and more engaged in everything you do. It's about feeling good within yourself and fostering meaningful connections with those around you. In your optimal state, you not only feel good, but you also radiate positivity and do good for the world around you.

The beauty of the optimal state is that it's a deeply personal experience. It's about being in tune with yourself and operating at your peak performance.

Interestingly, organizations also recognize the value of this state. When individuals are in their optimal zone, they exhibit their best attitude, feel fulfilled, and are less likely to consider quitting. This translates into enhanced productivity and engagement, benefiting both the individual and the organization.

So, how do you tap into one's optimal state?

It starts with cultivating self-awareness. It's about understanding your strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and motivations. By becoming more attuned to yourself, you gain insights into what drives you and what holds you back.

Self-awareness empowers you to make conscious choices that align with your values and aspirations. It enables you to navigate challenges with resilience and adaptability. Moreover, it fosters authentic connections with others, as you bring your genuine self to every interaction.

In essence, self-awareness is the cornerstone of personal growth and fulfillment.

Embrace the journey of self-discovery, and unlock the limitless potential that lies within you or your employees TODAY!

IT IS IN THE SPACE THAT BOUNDARIES CREATE THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN CAN DEVELOP SAFELY

I attended a training session on setting boundaries for gifted children. While I don't work directly with children, I've realized that a significant portion of my clients, about 80%, exhibit gifted characteristics. And they're essentially grown-up children, after all.

But why are boundaries so crucial? Many of my clients, especially those who are highly empathic and excel in humanitarian or service-oriented roles, struggle with setting boundaries. Their focus is often solely on others, leaving them unsure of how to prioritize their own needs. This lack of boundaries can lead to conflicts that impact both parties involved.

EDUCATION
In today's fast-paced society, we often neglect to teach children how to establish boundaries. Perhaps we were never taught as children (because children learn what they see, and not what we tell them), or the methods used to set boundaries were ineffective.

UNAVAILABLE GUIDES
In the context of expatriation, children may grow up with parents who are overwhelmed, stressed, and incapable of setting boundaries. Factors like the guilt of putting mobility on them, their absence due to frequent traveling, or lack of resources in the context of solo parenting, etc. can further complicate the process of setting and respecting certain boundaries.

SIMPLE, COHERENT AND CONSTANT
However, if we equip ourselves with the right mindset and tools, regardless of our location or context, we can overcome these challenges and set the right boundaries to create the safe children our children deserve growing up in.

As parents, it's our responsibility to establish boundaries that align with your family values and create a safe, nurturing environment for our children to thrive in. Now remember, the key to effective boundaries lies in our to uphold them. So when setting boundaries for your children, partner, mother, colleague, etc:

🚧 Be Concrete

🚧 Coherent

🚧 Consistent
