Listen in on our unique story of synchronicity in each other’s lives plus a rich conversation about:

Bianka’s journey into developing more safety and enjoyment in her body and working with anxieties and fears
Exploring trust and mistrust
The profound experience of realizing she was holding someone else’s fear
Bianka’s personal journey into exploring the truth of the untold ancestral story as half German and half from the South
How to connect with your her own desires as an empathic person
Personal agency and how we can get in our own way
What the body-centered and relational model of NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) offers
When you feel you’ve had a set back it could actually be the natural contraction that happens after expansion
