As well as the link it has to our Romantic life. In this this episode we talked all about: What self-love is not The physical and mental abuse from her brother that resulted in her rejecting herself & her own journey to self-love The physical ailments she suffered due to her own self-rejection Being guided to surrender by life The moment she detached from her body & healed Why you can’t explain self-love to someone who isn’t ready to love themselves Overcomplicating the simplicity of life Why when you are unapologetically aligned with who you are everything is simple How our childhood shapes our future The liberation in breaking your heart Why love can't actually hurt you & so much more...   Dorota has worked with brands including Christian Dior, Sony, Alexis Mabill, Nouvelle Vague Music, Under the Influence Magazine, 25th Street Recording, Pinna Records and others.

Mo is the Ex Chief Business Officer of Google X & Author of International Best-Seller Solve For Happy & his new Best Seller Scary Smart and a serial Entrepreneur. In this episode we discuss the amazing combination of Artificial Intelligence & our own humanity, in his incredible new book Scary Smart which highlights the impending reality of Artificial Intelligence from his unique perspective of having built some of the A.I we now all take for granted & the truth about where it is going, but how our own best qualities of humanity will be what makes this a good thing, if we show up to ensure it. I loved this conversation, talking about this topic from such an emotionally intelligent perspective and listening to Mo's innate wisdom at every turn.

After a 30 year career in tech and serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], Google's 'moonshot factory' of innovation, Mo has made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world. In 2014, motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, Mo began pouring his findings into his international bestselling book, Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. His mission to help one billion people become happier, #OneBillionHappy, is his moonshot attempt to honor Ali by spreading the message that happiness can be learned and shared to one billion people.
