"Try leaning into the pain so you can learn, grow and move from it"
-Ana Mattos

Ana, a world class osteopath whose grandmother was the local  healer in the neighbourhood where she was raised in  São Paulo shares her tale of transformation,  Her journey through the challenges of race and cultural barriers to a life dedicated to wellness embodies the resilience and purpose we all yearn to find. Join us as she shares her voyage of love, healing, and the wisdom inherited by her lineage, painting a vivid picture of how one's calling can guide them through life's tumultuous waves.

Change often arrives wrapped in the cloak of adversity, and this episode bears witness to the transformative power of facing one's personal demons head-on. We track the steps of a brave soul who, amidst the uncertainty of Brexit, sought refuge and rebirth on the enchanting island of Madeira. Her narrative is a testament to the human capacity for growth, vividly illustrated through a harrowing confrontation with COVID-19 that led to an unexpected rebirth. This segment shines a light on the strength found in solitude and the unexpected directions our paths can take when we surrender to life's unpredictable currents.

Ana helps us recognize that each chapter of our existence, no matter how chaotic at the time, is integral to the greater story we're composing. Together, we explore the liberation that comes from fearless self-expression, and the joy in embracing every heartbeat of our journey.
