Viivi-Maria Nuoraho
We are all stronger together.
This podcast is for you if you need a little boost in your day, to feel like you aren't alone. For business owners, creatives, or just the average humans wanting some conversation that challenges our routine, day-to-day and exposes things we may be taking for granted.
We aren't afraid of the deep stuff here.
Vulnerability is welcome here. Baggage is welcome here. Brokenness is welcome here.
So come on in, let's have a chat about life and all her friends.
This week we walk through my journey with practicing gratitude and a few helpful tips that I have picked up along the way. Gratitude practices have changed my life, my relationships, the way I see the people I come into contact with, and even the way I perceive the events that happen around me. They help me to stay grounded and rooted even when difficult times come. And that's what we are talking about today.
In this week's episode, we discuss how I handle it when I receive negative feedback. My aim in all episodes is to give you actionable tools that you can start living more intentionally and analysing intentions and interactions that leave us perplexed so that we can build sustainable and healthy relationships with those around us.

We get into the details of how the book is outlined, what each section added to our business and just have a open discussion on what we took away.
I think that we all go through seasons where we are super motivated, passionate and on fire for what we do - but what do we do when that fire feels like it has burned out or reached the end of the matchstick? How do we spark up another one? What routines can we put in place so that when those seasons hit (because let’s be honest, it happens to the best of us), we aren’t running around like headless chicken and allowing our businesses to wilt away and die? How do we continue nurturing and watering our businesses even when it’s the last thing we want to do?
