Life in Bites

Think you don't have what it takes to get over the pain and messy past? This story will change your mind. Nour Alzamar, a woman, from the Middle East, a refugee since she was born, made it to a country she found it through a song, after risking her life to flee from a war zone. She starts her life from zero, and run a successful business, doing what she loves.

You may think your life is messy, and I believe you that it feels like this. But did you ever think to start listening to stories that breathe hope and a different perspective? What I came to learn over the years, is that information is powerful, but a story has the potential to make a lasting change and impact.

Where you find Nour:

The time we navigate now requires people willing to support others. The problem is that most people believe they have to get training first, and only then offer their help. Because of that, we lack buddies for these navigating depression, reintegration, or struggling with health issues. That leads to loneliness and many need to cover. It doesn't have to be that way! Life in Bites offers you a simple perspective on how to help without training, with Zaida SilvaCoronel.

Whether you need help, or you want to offer help, there are simple ways to be there for people, even in the middle of a pandemic. First, you need to listen. This way, you hear the needs, and people feel heard and seen.

When people feel seen, and know that someone is listening to their needs and struggles, they open up to improvement and change. And sometimes, this is the only key you need to get to the root of the problem, to listen.

Zaida SilvaCoronel is a Transformational Coach and Reintegration Coach. And in her daily work, she helps people at different levels. In this episode, Zaida is sharing with us her journey as a foreign teenager who made her way to the Netherlands and grew into a strong and, influential woman, who impacts the lives of people she works with.

“A reframe is not about telling yourself that
your fear is wrong. Reframes are about finding another way to look at the possibilities of your life.”

Whatever you feel inside, you mirror outside, and the people feel it, even if you try to hide it. SO in order to maintain yourself out of burnout, you need to find what makes you happy.

The moment you get into burnout is just the sum of years of being unhappy. When you do what it has to, but not what you want, for too long, and that becomes a way of living. And if that comes out of the core belief that you are not good enough, or that you must make everyone happy around you, you get stretched until your mind, emotions and body can't take it anymore.

To make sure you get out of the burnout, or you avoid getting into one, there are several things you can do, and this is what you are going to find out in this episode:

1. How to find your own happiness.
2. How your happiness or unhappiness influences your family, children, and career.
3. How to put yourself in the first place and take care of yourself first.
4. How to get your energy high, so that you manage your energy for the entire day.
5. How your feelings are mirrored by your children.
