Masterful Listening
Think of the Masterful Listening podcast as the first ever Listening School that you actually want to attend (because it's RAD.) Every episode is an opportunity to practice listening, or as your host Svetlana (AKA Svet) calls it, "Masterful Listening." According to Svet, listening is the most important skill most of us are never taught. Until now....
Love hearing epic stories? Laughing? Learning by having fun? Want more money, better sex and great sleep? How about a healthy dose of profound wisdom with just a hint of profanity? Yes? Keep reading then...
Every episode is a listening practice and chance to be thoroughly entertained because Svet is super funny. For real - you'll see. One of her superpowers is making it fun for you to learn how to listen by listening to her telling stories related to listening, while you practice the listening tools she's presenting ( which you will only hear if you're actually listening ;) Svet's also a tiny bit famous for inventing pretty rad mantras, painting them on pretty much everything, and then getting them tattooed as reminders. Thanks for making it this far, and if you're curious to experience the power of masterful listening, this is It!

Unveiling the Tapestry of My Rad Life: Stoicism, Taoism, and a Splash of Hedonism
Prepare yourself for an intimate and captivating journey as I invite you to immerse yourself in the three pillars that shape my rad life: Stoicism, Taoism, and a sprinkle of Hedonism. In this episode, I invite you to listen masterfully to a deeply personal story about a relationship I experienced in the past year and the lessons that emerged.
Initially introduced as a Stoic, this man I call my "Study Buddy" ultimately revealed himself to be a gaslighting borderline narcissist. The fact that I met him in a compassion program and was so confident that he would be a wonderful influence on me - well, that made it a touch more ironic. It was an extraordinary opportunity to apply my own learnings to a profoundly difficult situation, navigating it with the utmost Stoic and Taoist grace.
This poignant story serves as a powerful reminder to cherish the messengers in our lives – those who deliver crucial messages that shape our journey. Once we receive these messages, it becomes imperative to release and let them go. "Get the message, forget the messenger" as my friend used to say....
To embody true Stoicism, Taoism, and a splash of Hedonism is to possess the awareness, wisdom, and courage to look inward, cultivating self-love and extending it to others. It also means not taking life too seriously and finding joy along the way.
Join me in exploring the depths of self-discovery and embrace the wisdom of ancient philosophies.
