Cuban women are raised with embodied femininity because of their mothers. It is taught as a ritual from a young age, to look in the mirror every morning and repeat, "I am beautiful, I am special, I am unique, I am a woman." Imagine if every girl was told from a young age that she was beautiful, that she was special, that she was deserving - just because she was a girl. And not just told but made to feel it in an embodied feminine way.

Can you learn to love your mistakes?

When you’re gentle with yourself, your heart softens up. You reach so much deeper, and as a result, you actually find insights into those areas in your life that need healing.

If you don’t first have compassion for yourself, how can you show true compassion towards others?

Why is Somatic Intelligence Important?

We need hope to be happy and to feel a certain magic. Life is meant to be lived with a little 'je ne sais quoi'... Nowadays there are many women in business that don't know how to soften up and show their vulnerable intimate side anymore. But we must not lose touch with this part because we were always the balancing force in the equation.
