**Description**

**“You were never meant to earn love by suffering. You were not sent here to be perfect; you were sent here to be whole. And the voice that shames you is not your truth. It is a shadow of pain, not the light of who you are.”**

Many walk through life not under the weight of the world, but under the weight of their own judgment.
There is a voice in them that never rests.
It demands more.
It forgives nothing.
It turns mistakes into evidence of failure and success into not quite enough.
Psychology calls this the **Punitive Inner Critic**, often linked to **Unrelenting Standards** and the **Defectiveness schema**. But those are only names. What you feel is more than a pattern.
It is the ache of never being at peace inside yourself.
This voice did not begin with you.
It was inherited from fear, from shame, from a world that made love conditional.
But I tell you now: *you can stop this inheritance*.
You can speak with a voice that builds instead of breaks.
You can rest.

### What you will carry home with you:

* A clear understanding of the **Punitive mode** and how it took root in your life, often in response to rigid, critical or emotionally distant environments
* Insight into how **perfectionism**, relentless pressure, or chronic guilt are signs not of strength, but of old pain trying to protect you from shame
* The power to name the voice inside you that condemns, and the skill to challenge it with something wiser: a voice that teaches instead of punishes
* A profound **MIMT mirror ritual** to meet your inner critic with compassion—and to awaken the **Compassionate Inner Adult** who speaks with strength *and* love
* A lived experience of being enough, not because you’ve achieved more, but because you’ve stopped fighting yourself
* A new internal rhythm: one that allows you to pause without guilt, breathe without fear, and grow without shame
* And above all, the quiet certainty that **you do not need to prove your worth, you only need to remember it**

**Details of the Event:**

Stress isn’t just about having too much to do—it’s about the **hidden patterns and beliefs** that push us to overcompensate, ignore our limits, and chase unrealistic standards.
**UNSTRESSABLE: Master Stress Before It Masters You** is an interactive webinar designed to help you uncover what truly drives your stress.
In this session, you’ll learn to:

* Identify the underlying psychological patterns (or “schemas”) that fuel overcompensation and perfectionism.
* Understand why it feels so hard to slow down or set boundaries—even when you know you’re burning out.
* See how the attempt to “do more” can backfire—reducing performance, increasing mistakes, and worsening well-being.
* Learn how chronic stress alters your brain chemistry, increasing stress hormones that undermine focus, memory, and health.
* Discover practical strategies to redesign how you work and live—so you can perform better *without* the cost of constant stress
* You’ll leave with greater awareness of your stress triggers and patterns, and a clear plan for building sustainable resilience.

Ideal for individuals seeking to work and live with greater **clarity, balance, and effectiveness**.
Join us and start becoming truly **UNSTRESSABLE**—by changing not just what you do, but *how you think*.

**Description**

**“You have silenced yourself for so long, not because you had nothing to say, but because you believed love would be taken if you spoke. But I tell you now: your truth does not threaten love. It reveals it.”**

Some wounds don’t leave bruises—they leave silences.
There are those who have learned, often very early in life, that the safest way to belong is to surrender their voice. To avoid conflict, to obey, to never inconvenience others. They have carried their truth in secret, convinced that speaking it would cost them everything.
This is not cowardice.
It is what psychology refers to as the Subjugation schema: a pattern that forms when love is conditional and emotional expression is unsafe.
But what once protected you now keeps you hidden.
And I tell you: *you were not born to hide*.
This is the moment to return.
To come home to the voice you buried to survive.
To rise, not against others, but for yourself.

**What you will carry home with you:**

* A clear understanding of how the **Subjugation schema** formed in your story, and how it still operates in your relationships and decisions
* The ability to distinguish **guilt from fear**, and fear from truth
* A new emotional vocabulary that honours both your needs *and* the needs of others, without losing yourself
* A **MIMT mirror ritual** in which you will meet your own eyes and speak aloud what you’ve always needed to say—not to win, not to prove—but simply to be
* A felt experience of what it means to stand in your own presence and not disappear
* The seed of a new way of being: where love is no longer bought through silence, but built through honesty
* And above all, the gentle reminder that **you were never wrong to feel, or to want, or to speak**. You were just taught to forget.

**The Psychology of Luck: How to Train Your Mind to Spot Opportunities**
**Have you ever wondered why some people always seem to be in the right place at the right time?**
Is it just luck, or is there a psychological aspect behind it that we can learn from?
In this engaging event, we’ll explore how our minds shape the way we experience luck. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and real-life examples, we’ll uncover how beliefs, attention, emotions, and behaviour influence what we call “good fortune.”
We’ll talk about:

* How the brain constructs meaning around random events
* Why some people feel lucky—and others don’t
* Practical strategies to train your “luck muscles”
* The role of intuition, gratitude, and relationships in attracting opportunities
* Luck as a skill—not just a coincidence

**This is not about superstition. It’s about awareness.**
It’s about how to stay open, present, and responsive to what life offers—especially when you least expect it.
**You don’t have to believe in luck. You need to be ready for it.**

The Psychology of Luck: Learn how to change your attitude in life.

Living far from home - whether in another country or on another continent - brings with it a world of experiences, as well as unique emotional and relational challenges. This event is an open invitation to anyone who has taken the big step of moving abroad to come together and share their honest experiences about what it really feels like.
We’ll explore themes such as:

* Feeling alone, homesick, or disconnected from familiar culture and language
* Managing long-distance relationships with family and friends back home
* Building new connections and finding a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar place
* Adapting to different social norms and ways of communicating
* Facing stress, uncertainty, or shifts in personal identity

This is not a formal lecture—it’s a safe, welcoming, and respectful space to listen, share, and connect. You’re free to speak or just to be there quietly.
Whether you moved recently or years ago, come and meet others who understand what it means to build a life far from home. Let’s support one another, reduce the sense of isolation, and talk about real ways to care for our emotional well-being as expats.
**IMPORTANT: This free event can be of great help to many, so please invite as many people as possible to participate.**
