About this listen

Welcome to the 8 minute podcast, where 8 minutes is all it takes to transform your day! During the Covid-19 pandemic, a study revealed that an 8-minute phone call with a loved one could lift people from feelings of low energy, anxiety, or depression, into a state of mindfulness, groundedness, and gratitude. Inspired by this, I wanted to take that concept further—bringing the same impact to a broader audience. And so, this podcast was born: a space where every listener can experience the power of an 8-minute "call"... or podcast. Let's make every minute count.

  • Truth isn't always loud
    Aug 18 2025

    In today's episode, we touch upon something that we tend to forget: our truth(s) is(are) not always loud.


    We often hear that "I found my truth", but I think truth is not something to be found, but rather something that we create.


    Over the years, I know I am not the only one who has learned (and was taught) to "de-trust" myself. What I mean by that is that all the gadgets we are using, the ones telling us how much we slept last night, how much we should or should not eat, ... all these gadgets have brought us further away from our intuition, from our truths. We use an external referential, rather than our own notion or sense of self.


    Our truth is often subtle; it is like someone whispering to us: "hey should we do this? Hey, should we get back to doing this?". Truth is calm, it is confident, it is waiting for us with open arms. It is a subtle nudge to get us back on track. It can be goosebumps when listening to reading your favorite author, it can be found in a sigh of relief. Yes, truth often feels like relief, it feels like letting go.


    On the other side of the spectrum, we have (what I like to call) the "noise" (whether internal or external) that is tinted with ego, with fear, with conditioning.


    Knowing from which place we act can be so beneficial for our overall well-being. It can allow us to decide our next steps.


    As always, to do so, we need... (drum roll please) awareness and patience! (The ULTIMATE combo)


    I hope this episode resonates with you in one way or another.


    Please feel free to share it with people you love.


    Remember that all you need... is 8 minutes.


    As always, with love, cheers, Z
