Hello hellooo Subscriber First Name!

Welcome to another edition of my newsletter :)

I’m currently at an interesting turning point in my life. I’m supposed to keep this a secret (I have yet to announce this on instagram), but if you’re reading this, you have a special place in my heart, so imma give you the exclusive info :) Sometime in the next two months, Pabs and I are moving back to Santiago! Yay!! He got a promotion, and I’m super proud of him ♥️ As for me, I’m in the process of searching for a part-time job and also manifesting my dream home. Exciting and scary stuff ahead!

• CURRENTLY LISTENING •

I wasn’t gonna make any playlists this month, but a friend reached out to tell me how much she loves my playlists. She told me she uses my instrumental playlists every time she needs to focus at work, & I was so grateful for that message that I ended up spending all afternoon making two new playlists hehe

Never underestimate the power of a kind comment :) Thank you Ale for reaching out and making my day!

The 5 Love Languages

We all have emotional love tanks, and we all need different things in order to fill our tanks & feel loved. The 5 Love Languages are:

  • Words of Affirmation

  • Acts of Service

  • Quality Time

  • Physical Touch

  • Receiving Gifts

Even if you don’t read the book, I highly suggest reading a summary of what it’s about. This should be required reading not just for counselors, but for anyone in a committed relationship. Getting to know ourselves and our partners is essential in order to have better relationships.

Man Enough

I recently came across this talk show, hosted by Justin Baldoni, and I’ve been thinking about it non-stop since then. These 30 minute episodes delve deep into conversations we rarely see happen in our society. In these videos you’ll see men opening up about vulnerability, masculinity, and even their own body image issues (which is so refreshing to hear, honestly). I know most of the people reading these newsletters are women, but if you have a husband, boyfriend, guy friend, brother, father, son… they can all benefit from watching this series. And even if you watch this alone, there will be plenty of food for thought! I look forward to rewatching this series with Pabs and opening up a conversation about some of the topics discussed on it. Here are the links to the three first episodes (the second one was my faaaaavorite):

Ep. 1: Why Men Don’t Talk

Ep. 2: Let’s Get Vulnerable

Ep. 3: The Ugliness of Body Image

• CURRENTLY COACHING •

As you probably know, I’ve begun my career in Health Coaching this year, and I'‘m LOVING it. I have loved seeing the personal transformation my clients have gone through, and have also been really excited to see how much more confident in my skills I have become. I’m currently taking on more clients for 1:1 coaching, so if you’ve been wanting to:

*** Make changes in your diet and habits *** Learn how to eat healthy (without compromising flavor) *** Stop feeling guilt/confusion/stress/fear about food *** Build a sustainable healthy lifestyle around the foods you love *** Understand and control your cravings *** Be less stressed and sleep better *** Create new habits that will empower you in all areas of your life *** Be more confident, energized, positive & happy *** Find your own healthy balance *** Feel and look your best ***

I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT :)

Karoline’s Testimonial:

My top goal upon starting the program was achieving a healthy balance and relationship to food. I wanted to regain control of my body and my cravings and wished for a balanced lifestyle where a piece of chocolate would be something I could enjoy without either feeling guilty or for it to trigger a binge.

My coach was able to help me work towards these goals by really listening to me. She gave me her full attention and I felt like she listened with an open mind and tried to understand where I was coming from without judging. She helped me see the bigger picture and helped me in other areas of life that I didn’t even realize needed attention. She gave me homework after every session based on what we had talked about that week and based on what she thought might be helpful to me and my situation. She asked me questions that made me reflect and see things from other perspectives and gave me tools to better handle the challenges I often faced in my daily life.

The biggest tangible change I have noticed since beginning the program has been a more balanced mindset. I feel like I can better see myself and my thoughts from the outside and thereby control myself better. Something in my mind has shifted and I now feel like I am better suited to eat a piece of chocolate without necessarily going on a crazy binge trip.

• QUOTE OF THE MONTH •

“Don’t be afraid of your flaws. Bring them to the table for everyone to see. Onlookers will love you for your honesty and courage to be human. It’s our embarrassing quirks that make our successes even more interesting.”
