In Episode 2 of Just Between Us…, João reflects on change - why it makes us anxious, why we resist it, and why it might be the very thing we need most. Inspired by the feeling of new beginnings and the quiet pressure that comes with them, this episode explores how change doesn’t always mean loss — sometimes, it simply means you’ve learned what you needed to learn and you’re ready for what’s next.

Through honest reflection, João talks about manifesting change, creating space for growth, and the importance of living with intention — in your habits, your friendships, your goals, and the choices you make every day. This is a reminder that growth rarely happens overnight, but it does happen when we start acting in alignment with the life we want to build.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, afraid to let go, or unsure whether you’re ready for a new chapter, this episode is an invitation to soften into change instead of fighting it — and to trust that becoming someone new is not something to fear.

🌿 We’re not afraid of losing. We’re afraid of staying the same.

In the very first episode of Just Between Us…, João (me, hi) opens up about a moment in therapy that changed everything: realizing he uses a smile or a joke to soften the truth, even when the truth actually hurts. This episode is a slow escape from time — an intimate, story-first reflection on emotional honesty, the pressure to stay positive, and the quiet bravery of saying what’s really there without performing lightness. João shares personal stories, gentle insights, and three small practices to help you hold your own feelings with more softness this week.

If you’ve ever laughed through pain, stayed “strong” when you were tired, or avoided silence because it felt too honest… this one’s for you.
