Against All Odds Podcast, The Less than 1% Chance with Maria Aponte
What Happens When You Treat Your Body As A Teacher with Mia Dins
What if your body isn’t fighting you, but guiding you? That single shift turns breakdowns into intel and healing into a teachable skill. I sit down with soul-led entrepreneur and former elite boxer, Mia Dins, to trace a life that moved from an 80-person village to the New Zealand boxing team to multidimensional guidance rooted in the Akashic Records and quantum embodiment.
Mia opens up about early-life imprints, being written off, and finding a flow state in the ring that cracked her spiritual channel wide open. We dive into her cervical health scare—how she negotiated time, removed triggers like coffee, deepened meditation and breath work, and returned with clear results. I share my own journey through sexual assault, repeat surgeries, a hysterectomy, and the shock of a clean pathology that followed a fierce commitment to self-care. Together we explore womb wisdom, trauma alchemy, and the nervous system practices that turn dis-ease into direction.
From there, we zoom into the daily: how to curate your inputs like a sacred feed, why your vessel must match your mission, and how to fold movement, prayer, and creativity into one living practice. We unpack cycles and timing over hustle, the soil metaphor for belief change, and the real mechanics of intuition—one clear yes or no at a time. We also challenge worthiness myths: being “too much,” equating attention with love, and tying abundance to performance. The throughline is radical self-trust. Ask within first. Then act with courage and compassion.
If you’re craving alignment that lasts—health that holds, work that flows, and decisions that feel clean—this conversation is your field guide. Listen, share it with someone who needs a reminder that their body is wise, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

SPEAKER_03:Wow, what an introduction.
SPEAKER_04:We talked about it, but it's always interesting to hear that, right? Because I'm sitting every night and reading that myself, but it's also beautiful because it reminds you of the things you do. Because when you do it, you're just in it and then you forget, but then you can actually step back and look at it from the outside.
SPEAKER_02:Just like when from an outer perspective.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. And it's actually beautiful. Yeah. You stumbled across Akashic Records. I just want to say to people who have never heard about that, basically they are your soul records, right? Like a big library that you can imagine in the other and that contains all the memories, all your thoughts, everything about your past lives, current lives, and future lives, if you, of course, believe in that.
SPEAKER_02:So that's possible. I love it. I've actually done a session with a lady as well, and it was so powerful. It's so powerful. I'm again, I told you before we started recording, I'm so open to however spirit God guides me to or who it guides me to, because I feel like there it always just brings something I need, so something my soul needs. So I'm so excited to talk about all of that with you. So give us a little bit of background. What is your against all odds story? Because let me tell you, right now she is in one place, but she has been in so many other places. Give us some background of your story.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah. Well, it's interesting because I had to ask myself because I have been living my life, right? And then when you process a lot and you move through things, you actually forget all the things you have overcome. And we spoke before, that reminded me of a lot of things. And also when I read a little bit about you before, first and foremost, I was actually rejected before I was even born. Like a little bit of like a different story to yours, because I was meant to be an abortion because nobody really wanted me. I was basically too much, and it's a huge imprint as well that I bring in the energetic field all the time. Just bringing that up. Obviously, I made it.
SPEAKER_00:We're here.
SPEAKER_04:And so I grew up in a bigger family in a very small village in Germany, East Germany. Basically, when I say small village, you can imagine like 80 people, one street, 10 houses, 500 cows.
SPEAKER_02:Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_04:And I grew up in domestic violence, I got sexually abused, and these things just happen. When I say and talk about it like this, it's not and it sounds neutral, it's just because it is the story, but it doesn't define anymore. Of course, it brought me all the blessings, all the learnings. But of course, looking at all that and then bullying, always being the family that is people gossip about, and all the things. So then you look at coming from a small place like that, and then making this big move when I was 25. I actually went to New Zealand. I only had a couple of hundred bucks, to be honest. Just finished my studies. I studied sports science. Yes, I was always very much interested in sports. And even throughout my active athlete time, I'm still an athlete, but yeah, that stage, I was never being the one like, oh, she's gonna make it. And then all of a sudden I would come out of nowhere, right? The kind of the underdog. And basically, when I yeah moved to New Zealand completely on my own, I didn't plan to move, I was just meant to go for seven months. But my soul was like, Yay, this is what I need. I've always had this kind of gypsy gene. And since I'm little, actually, I always wanted to stay with friends. Yeah, when I was four or five, I never wanted to go home. I always wanted to just be. And so I started to trust my intuition. And that all got more activated in New Zealand because it is a beautiful country, has a high frequency energy, and I just need to be there for that time. And I also started boxing in New Zealand and found me. And I started boxing when I was 30, I'm now 38.
SPEAKER_02:Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_04:Like you've written off already, right? Because most people would stop boxing. I was doing the amateur, like the Olympic path, you know, with tournaments and stuff, so not the professional boxing, it's different. And I thrive in that energy when you're written off because it starts. That's when I know some people or most people probably be like stopping there, but I'm like, now I'm activated. Now my fire starts to burn. I need to watch me. Not so much. Of course, sometimes from the ego blaze, it came as well, but more about who do I need to become? What is this? What is this version of me doing?
SPEAKER_02:And watch me grow. I'm gonna grow and I'm gonna make it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, defy the odds, push my limits in a way. And of course, also throughout that journey, and I made it very far. Like I actually ended up representing New Zealand against Australia. Oh my gosh! Which is incredible, and it just happened, right? When I say it just happened, it was like seven years of consistency, dedication, devotion, and belief. And my gosh, I basically had breakdowns every day. I had to challenge my ego, everything had to die, the ego death, things I had to let go of and the shedding and to continuously be like to feel into that vision and what I'm because I got guided to it. I never searched for it. And boxing for me is was so much more than just the sports, it is so much more. It was an accelerator for my awakening because I started to be in this flow state when because you have to be completely focused, and that's when I was so available to all these energies, and then my Papa channel because he I lost him unfortunately when I was 13. He died early, and all these things, so it was amazing, and yeah, also, of course, overcoming several ailments, just like I think you have a I did not have cervical cancer, but I had the pre-cancer cells, which you know, and they told me you have to have the operation to cut out the pieces because otherwise it's gonna develop. I had that three times that surgery, so I know, yeah, and I go into that story now if you don't mind, because it happened, it happened after COVID. I think it was 2021, 2022. Because we go to the swaps and things like that, and they told me, Oh, it's abnormal, let's put you to the what is it called biopsy? A biopsy, yeah, like it's essentially biopsy that they take from the it's super uncomfortable. Honestly, I can take a lot of pain, but I this is a very uncomfortable pain. I just don't like it. Anyways, I went there, they took that, and then it came back, and basically it showed the results. And at that time, I was already like like doing, I'm very niche, I'm raw vegan, I do all these things that normal people don't do. I would always get out of the system. Just my soul guides me to do that. And I was doing major healing work at that time as well. And the doctor, she was like, really, this energy. When you're also in the hospital, you're in this environment. I could feel like my whole energy system got sucked into this fear and this fear-mangering, and have to do that. And so she gave me all the prospects and information, when to sketch you the surgery, how much recovery time. In my mind, it was like, I need to train, I'm preparing for competitions. Finally, COVID is over, I can fight because I didn't get vaccinated, right? So I'm uh I have some other plans here. I did, I just didn't allow that. And yeah, call me stubborn. And I wasn't trying to play God, I also took it very seriously. Yeah, but I said, no, no, no, don't make a decision right then. And I said, I said to her, with all due my respect, I can see the results. You're the doctor, you're the expert in that field. But give me six months and I will show you that my body's able to heal itself. I don't even know where this came from. I have no idea, but I was so certain about that. And she said, but in six months it can be all too late, then we have to completely uh take everything out. You will never be able to conceive children, right? I would want to have children, right? And that was a little like but I'm like six months. If then the results are still the same, I'm going to do the operation. And she was like, of course, happy with that. But I walked out of there.
SPEAKER_03:I'm like, what did I just do?
SPEAKER_04:Well, I decided then I do not tell many people because I knew the more people I tell, they will put on their projections, their fears, and that completely altered my energetic field. And I only, of course, my partner at that time, I told him, my best friend, my mom, that's it. Nobody else, not my coaches, not my trainer, nobody knew about it. And I just went on and did my meditations, my healings, did everything I could do, did train at that time, boxing. And the only thing I did change at that time was because I still had one cup of black coffee in the morning. And with the nutritionist I was working at that time, he was saying, okay, that is just bringing your hormones out of balance and things like that. These kind of things. And since I'm very sensitive to energies, and my body responds very quickly, I thought I can't weave off. That's the one thing I did. I did it in December 2021. Yeah, I remember that's it. And yeah, six months later, I went and it was gone. She said she has never seen that, she couldn't believe it. And then I had follow-up appointments, I think three months later, another one three months later, because they wanted to make sure. And boom, it happened. Did I have fears in between? Sure. Did I doubt it? Of course. And I also did I did take action. I contacted one of my best friends or school friends in Germany because she was a nurse for uh gynecologist. And I asked her, tell me, did you have experiences like that? And what is what are the stats? Yeah, I did that part.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you did your research, yeah, because it's you have to balance both.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, absolutely. But my belief was so strong, and my body told me to not do it and to go this way. That was my story. I do get it. Yours was probably like some people have to do the operation because that just my first found out.
SPEAKER_02:So I was sexually assaulted at 16, and I didn't say anything to anybody. I stayed quiet. And when I was 18, that I could go to the doctor by myself, I did my first well-woman checkup, and it came back with abnormal cells. They did the biopsy, and I ended up with it, it was like at stage four in that section of my cervix. And so we did what they call a leap, and it was they cut like that section that was affected off my cervix, they cut that off, but nobody understood why I was dealing with this. I didn't have family history. That uh the HPV virus was not commonly known 20 plus years ago, as it wasn't like they didn't understand that necessarily caused cancer. Like it wasn't a well-known situation. Now my kids have vaccines for it because I don't want them to go through what I did. So there was that. So when I was 18, nobody knew, I stayed quiet. At 19, it I went six months later after that surgery, all good. Six months after that, it came back. And the doctors like it came back. Also, the likelihood of you being able to get pregnant, you're probably not gonna be able to have kids. I was 19 years old, I wanted to have kids, I was like newly engaged, like all of these things were happening and still nobody knew. And so I did the second surgery, and so I was going to cosmetology school at the time, and I had the surgery, and I didn't go back to school for two months. And the director calls me and she's like, Maria, I'm gonna have to drop you from the course because you're not coming to school and your dad's paying this every single month, and that's I don't feel like that's ethical. And I'm like, Oh my gosh, wait, don't do anything yet. Can I go in and talk to you? And I don't know what came over me because for three years I stayed quiet, nobody knew anything. The guy had put something in my drink, and he was 26 years old, I was 16. Like, it was just not a situation where I did I felt shameful and guilty and all the things like what did I do? Was my thought process. So I was internalizing all of this dis-ease. So my body created disease. It was telling me, Hey, wake up because it's you need to do something. And so I finally I went to visit with her, and I remember closing the door, sitting down, and just like crying. And for the first time in three years, I told her everything. And I was like spitting everything out. I didn't even want to look at her. I didn't want to, I just wanted it all out. And when I look up and my eyes are all watery and crying and so forth, I look up, she's crying, and I'm like, Miss Baker, why are you crying? And she's like, Oh Maria. A few years ago, I was called after my daughter went to a party, and some guys sexually assaulted her by putting something in her drink, and they left her by a dumpster. So I got my daughter therapy and all the help that she needed, and maybe you were just meant to come to me. And so she was my little angel on the way, and so she was like, You need to come start coming back to school. So I did. And she then tells me, however, there is this place in down, I live in Orlando, Florida. So there's this place in downtown Orlando that that specializes in therapy for sexual assault victims. And I was like, I've never been to therapy, I can't afford it. And she's like, no, no, no. Like, I'll make sure that you have the hour away from school, but you need to go. And that's when I started to open up about my story. The doctor, when he told me that I wasn't gonna be able to have kids, I was like, no, no, no, no, because I know that I'm meant to be a mom, that's not gonna be the case. So I f my I I didn't tell anybody anything because again, I'm from a Hispanic household, very Catholic, and so the guilt and the shame and all of the things came along with it, and we don't talk about things like that. And I knew that once I went through the therapy process that I was able to start talking about it, my thought process on the guilt and the shame went away because I understood that I wasn't at fault, and so I knew that my when my parents found out that they were going to make it like if it was my fault or give off that kind of reaction, and it that's how it happened, and I ended up getting married quickly, moving in with my then fiance and then like husband two months after. So everything happened really quick, and then I started fertility treatment, and I finally like a year and a half later got pregnant. So there's there was this whole journey, but I learned because it came the cancer came back when I was 32 twice that year, and I learned again that I was holding on to a lot of dis-ease in my body, and it started to create this disease again. And that's when I started working out, eating right, listening to personal development, opening up myself spiritually, allowing things to just be different and healing myself in a way that I didn't think was possible. And the second time it came back that year, I scheduled the hysterectomy. So I had a full hysterectomy at 32. And when I went, and that was like maybe a month and a half after I started to like just take care of myself, put on my oxygen mask on first. And when I got to the surgery, so I found out October 15th, the surgery was scheduled for December 9th. A week later, when you get the results, you follow up with the doctor, get the results from the pathology and everything. He sits me down, and this was actually on my birthday. So December 16th, he sat me down and he's like, Maria, I don't understand. There was zero signs of cancer in your pathology report. And I was like, What? So the healing process for myself, learning that I needed to start taking care of myself, listening to my inner healing, I guess, my I listening to my body and learn knowing that I needed to do something because if not, my kids were gonna be left without a mom. Like it was just all of this then started the ball rolling with my own like internal healing. And yeah, I the cancer had gone away before I even needed to actually have surgery.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, wow, it's a very powerful story. So thank you for sharing this. And it's interesting how it's your room space, of course, right? And you also because the way you entered this world, right? Your mom is tried to through the moon, like obviously you were holding on. And because I look at the ancestral stuff as well. So now there's something to look into, maybe probably have done it or you maybe do it in the future to look at the lineage of your mother's lineage, your female. What are they holding on? Because the womb space is very powerful. I work a lot with that. My women's space and with the healing, and especially right now, and it holds on a lot, it's such a powerhouse, it sponges so much energy, emotions, but it's also able to alchemize and transmute it. And that's why, for example, women, when you feel like constantly bloated, or you feel like you have this little extra layer of like body fat over there, it's more like protection. Yes, of course, these things like movement, what the way you eat, sleep, these all play a key part. But most of the time, and I can vouch for it because I even have it. When I say I even have it, I work out, I do all that, and because I know my womb space is still holding on to trauma, old imprints. And it's really a challenge for me to have compassion. Uh, sometimes still, because I'm like, go work out, then the whole self-sabotaging voice cuts and like go harder, don't eat these, don't eat that, because I also have a history of eating disorder, like a disordered body image. So for me, it's really to go deeper into compassion, to hold space for my body right now and appreciate it for oh my gosh, you're doing such amazing work and you're giving me signs, you are guiding me. I've learned that, and that's a beautiful alignment with your story as well. And I'm sure a lot of your listeners can relate to that. Like I said in the introduction, it's not a battlefield. For me, at least, I always thought as a battlefield when something was going wrong. Why are you doing this to me? Why aren't you functioning? Why are you tired now? Why is this achy? Why am I bloated? Why am I gaining weight? Why is the period not coming? Whatsoever. Constantly, we're constantly complaining. But then I learned to rewrite that story, and I'm still recoding and doing all that. It's my curriculum, it's my teacher, it's my oracle, tells me where I'm at and what it truly needs because it's like the soul is speaking through our body. The soul talks to us way before that, but because we are so wired to the 3D, we only start taking action when something is wrong in our body, right? When we start to have this little back pain, oh, what have I done? Shit, what do I need to do? I need to stretch more, move, whatever it is, right? It's just the example. And that's what I learned through my story. And everybody, of course, will experience it very differently. And like I said already before, like you have to have this consciousness to do that. If you don't have this consciousness, like for example, my mom has a lot of illnesses and ailments and things like that. I can't, I can tell her everything I have done. I can see how she could heal instantly. I could, I can see it, but all I can do is to hold space for her to be and to evolve in her own unique way. And that's so hard, isn't it? Because then when you love someone and you're so scared to lose them, I was trying to interfere before and doing the things and trying to push on things, and then I realized I can't do anything other than being the best version of myself, doing all the healing and the example, yeah. And that's hard, it's very so hard.
SPEAKER_02:I know so much. I yeah, I really became very passionate about I I did a weight loss journey and had lost like 40 pounds, and I was the fittest I was ever in my entire life, and I felt proud. I felt like I got through so much, and then at the same time, there was so much like my dad got sick and I was his caretaker. My mom worked still, and I worked from home, I had my own business online and all the things. So my job became to take care of my dad. And that's when my body was like, oh no, we're gonna start holding on to things again. And I felt it. My hormone, well, I'm also postmenopausal, so there's a a lot less like regular hormones even happening in my body. But as I'm feeling the stress of my dad like sick and making sure that he's okay and everything is being taken care of, and he goes to his appointments and he and all this stuff, my body started to say, okay, no, we're gonna start holding on to things again. And so I I gained all the weight back, plus some. And after years, I've been on this health journey for like 10 years, that now I'm like, okay, now I have to go back and understand that my body was just not very happy with me because my priority stopped being being myself, like put the oxygen mask on first. And I would still do the same things that I was doing, and I was beating myself up because I was like, how is it that I'm doing all these things that I know work because they've worked before and I'm still gaining weight? And so I know that there's a lot of grief that's still attached. There's a lot of things that my body is still doing that I'm inching my way back to that feeling just amazing in my body, whereas I know what it could feel like. Not even look. If I don't look like I did at 35, great. But I want to feel that way in my body again because my soul felt at ease and it felt so aligned in that moment. And then after it's just it's been like this the last like three years, it's been like crazy. So it's crazy what you're correct. Your body is literally telling you, hey, hi, what's up? I'm here, and you just brush it off, and you're and it's like, no, no, no, but I'm here. I need you to take care of me in a different way, do something, and we just continue to brush it off, and then when we're feeling the back pain and we're seeing the weight gain and we're experiencing all these things, then we're like, ah, what is happening?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and then we come back into this penetrating masculine energy, and we're trying to force things and be really harsh and do because that's what we get taught, and that's what is also displayed everywhere. And the question is like when like when you did had this success and you had like you said it perfectly, the method worked then, and all of a sudden it didn't work. It's always, I think someone said I can't remember who said it once. One of my mentors, like, you all the marketing works and it doesn't work because if you if you have the frequency, you can do everything you want to, it will never work. But in the frequency, everything will work if you do the minimal or the whatever. And that's so true for the body as well. And I know it can be hard, it can be frustrating when you don't need when you don't see the tangible results, and especially when you are maybe a little bit more vain or you just you just love to have a certain button that's totally fine. Um if you desire, I do.
SPEAKER_02:That's just for how I feel good, and I'm not gonna like it's just how I feel good because I'm an asset to be able to move and to be fit and I was able to do like push-ups, like real push-ups, and now I'm like, oh no, not like even on the knees, I'm like struggling, and I'm like, I had muscle, I could see muscle, I could feel muscle, I felt strong, and for the first time in my entire life, because I wasn't in, I wasn't allowed to be into in sports very much because I worked. I worked with my dad, we had our own business. So it was just like I couldn't do the afterschool sports because I was always with busy working and so forth. It just like felt like oh my gosh, I have never felt this strong. And I've already overcome so many things. I feel like it was the first time that my body was aligned with the strength of my soul. I don't know if that makes any sense, but my body looked like my soul felt. And I think that's what I am missing right now because I know innately I am strong, I'm powerful, I know that my soul is that, and my body doesn't feel that way, and it feels unaligned.
SPEAKER_04:But that's where most people are, and it's not and there's nothing wrong with it. It's just being honest with it. It's almost like you have a one-liter like bottle and you want to try to fill in the entire ocean, and that's impossible. It's like our vessel, right? It's our vessel for it's our avatar that we got given. We only have this one avatar, our soul is eternal, of course, but only this one avatar in this lifetime. So far as I'm aware of. If there are any other cases, please let me know. Please advise. But and it's not about um being like fearful of that, but actually learning to really treasure it and knowing that if you want to do all these things, like you want to be giving this amazing frequency energy here in this podcast, you need to have a strong vessel to be able to do that. I couldn't do all the channeling work and everything I do if I don't have a strong body to hold this capacity and to be able to alchemize that. And on top, I'm having a very energy, very sensitive energy body. If you see me, what I'm doing, it's just for me to function. I'm not talking about the add-ons yet, it's just to function to be able to do that. And I love doing it, it's all an embodiment. I used to at the beginning, I think, so following the traditional way and have like doing unlearning, it was all separation. Oh, I do some yoga here, I do some workout here, but now it's all one. Like my workout becomes a prayer. I tune into my body. I'm like, oh, okay, you're feeling some pain there, okay, what's going on? Or it's like a moving prayer meditation, whatever you want to call it. But of course, it takes practice. There is no separation for and to anything for me anymore. It's just like all one, because we are multidimensional beings, and that every little thing, every thought, everything we do and we don't do, and it's not about putting pressure on here, just about being aware, has a ripple effect on everything in life. Um like the way you start your day, the way you make your bed, you trust you, you start talking to your body, right? Isn't it interesting how we actually well? I can only tell from my experience. Like in the morning already, I start being negative. Oh, you look tired. Oh, what's going on here? Oh my gosh, how do you look? Like, let's do the real shit talk here, right? Yeah, seriously. Going on in the head. It's like, oh man, I look not great, or I look fat, or I do this, whatever is going on. And this is having a ripple effect, and that's happening subconsciously. Yeah, I consciously choose to love myself to have compassion, but there's still a lot of stuff going on in the background that I allow to come through and to be honest with myself, be okay, right? To let it come through. I think that's we talked about it offline before about this bypassing or this toxic positivity. And being aware of that, because I've I spent a lot of time in solitude the past two years, because like when I left New Zealand in April 2024, I intended to go back to Germany and be with my family. That didn't happen how it's meant to be. So I booked within 24 hours a flight to Spain without having actually the money, like it was I had 300 euros or something. And then I had my year in Spain, right? And it was a lot of no, it was a lot of that's my against the odds kind of mentality as well. And I'm not saying everybody has to do it that way, but I it's interesting because I was trying to be involved with people, I was looking, okay, and wanted to get back to boxing, la la, but God draw me in, God put me into places where I was completely off crit in the mountains, in a little tiny mini home in the forest, all these things, which was amazing, right? And I just need to strip off everything, and I cannot be more grateful for this experience. As hard as it was, and I crawled on my knees so many times because being alone, not having the financial support, like in a country where I don't speak the language, not knowing anything really, and I go off everything that was familiar to me, like New Zealand. There was my people, my boxing community, the work that I did, and everything that was familiar to me, boom, stripped off. But my soul thrives on that. My ego does not like it, but my soul that it loves it, and I had to learn to ride that wave with it and to embrace it. And that's when you go into solitude, you can really you start to really see what's really beneath it. I call it because I love nature so much, it's the soil. Look at the soil you want to plant in, right? It's look, we can all plant, have these desires, and put it all in. And I used to do it all the time, and yeah, more, more, more, and I want this and that, and that's all beautiful. But let's look at the soil first because if that's full of shit, no matter how beautiful the seed is you blant, the flower, whatever your metaphor in the mind, what helps you to visualize that, it will take on that shit too, and it will chrome more shit. It's just let's put bluntly like that. I can't even, I don't even need to put any like nice words with that. It's true. And what I mean by that is like look at your belief systems, your habits, that the people you are surrounded by. And if you of course I'm not surrounded physically by people, for me, it's online, and even it goes so far, like, look at your social media platform. Who are you following? Who what is going on there? I have done a massive, massive decluttering there, and it comes from a place of love, like being like, is it actually benefiting me? Like this person, cool, I like them as a person, but do they benefit me if they show up on my what's it called?
SPEAKER_02:Like this news feed.
SPEAKER_04:And I'm like, no, it doesn't. Okay, let it go. But let it go with love. There's nothing, it's not personal, just like I had to really, really narrow everything down, and I could see like how much I was still allowing other people to tell me what I can do, what I cannot do. And of course, I came from a very structured life in a way. When I say like boxing, seven years constantly training twice a day, six days a week, discipline. You there, of course, within that there was flow, of course, but it was very structured and very man-dominated sport and very old school, still, like the training methods. You get trained like a that's where the whole thing with my body as well came in. I you get trained like a man, and and and there is no space for individual cycles, like nobody would adjust the training according to your cycle, your period, and it's so profound for us women. It is one, and not just if you're not training, but working as well, your life. We have our personal seasons, we go through summer, autumn, winter, spring, and to acknowledge that. And I learned through the past year, two years, sorry, to really, really tune into my own individual cycle and to like really acknowledge even more so that we are cyclical beings. And the more I tune into my own rhythm, the more I started to thrive. My energy came back, and things happened, and I'm still healing a lot because I never had really periods throughout my or very irregular and throughout my active time with boxing, so it was completely suppressed. My femininity was the aesthetic component, and then I had, of course, this is still like balancing, and that's what I say. My hormones are still like it's not like this anymore. If you imagine the big waves of the ocean, it's more like it's still balancing and regulating my nervous system. I never really regulated my nervous system, it was constantly on fight, flight mode, and not just the sports part, because I was fighting right actively, and you get into the fight mode, and that was beautiful. And I learned to switch off from that in some shape or form, but then I constantly was also in fight or flight mode in my life. I was in the environment that wasn't the right relationship that was supportive for me, constantly worrying about money and things like that. And wow, that was a whole like God put me into that space, universe, whatever you call it, and it literally helped me. It wasn't pretty, it was not pretty sometimes I joined it, but I joined it for three, four hours a day to just get up because I had nobody. I had nobody to talk to and to do anything. So I learned to really hone in on myself that power that we all have within ourselves. And that's my main message for everybody who's listening, like this radical self-trust and that you are your own guru. We are so quick to go to the external. Even when you have like let's say you have an argument with your partner, you may be tempted to, oh, I call my best friend, I want to offload. Call your best friend, go in word here first. You are your best friend. Ask God, be there. Like first do that, and then from that place, you're empowered, you already have an idea, you know what's going on. Then call your best friend, then go and talk or do whatever, but always tune in first, right? That really helped me to strengthen my foundation and to really have this innate self-trust. And that's why I'm able to do those things. Like I said, I jump into the airplane and book the ticket with my last couple of hundred euros, and I know I will be fine. I'm not saying that everybody has to do it that way, and I'm not saying like I'm praying that money will fall from heaven. It may, it may. That would be nice. It can, yes. I'll allow it. I'll open my bags for that. No, but what I mean by that, I have this absolute certainty and trust that I'm taking care of and that I will be guided to the action. That may look like I contact that person, then they sign up for a session with me, and I get exactly the money that I need, or it may do being this or that, or I apply for a job here, whatever it is, right? That's what I'm talking about. I'm not saying I'm sitting on the couch rolling my thumbs and be like, hey, um, and it's all coming. No, you have to take the action, but come from this empowered place, like go inward. And yeah, I don't know, it was just like this fireball that just came through. And I just wanted to share that because that's my journey, my big message out there, because we all have it, but you have to create space so you can hear, have the courage to listen, and more so trust and take the action. That's the part most people don't do. Everybody hears their voice, but they just don't trust it, and then they don't act on it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, it could be as simple as listening to that gut instinct and going with it. I use that when I'm moving anywhere. I can walk into a house or an apartment or whatever and know like in my belly, I know that's where I need to be. Everywhere I've moved since since I left my parents' house, I have innately known, oh yeah, this is it. And I've had a realtor tell me, but how you haven't even you barely walked into the house, and I'm like, it's it. I can tell you my like in my soul, I could feel that this is it. So when you start like just listening to even the little things that and you start trusting that and going with it and seeing, oh, this will this worked out well. Like it's like building that trust with yes, you're like you said, your inner best friend, you. And I I feel like I've had experiences that I'm just like, oh well, look at that. Me looking out for myself, because I can I when I feel like something feels right and you go for it, you're like, Oh my gosh, this yeah, this worked out. This is exactly where I need to be. And I met these people and I connected with these people and this. is exactly who I needed in my life. And I feel like even the people that I have done recordings with that I've that have I've had on my podcast, it's been so beautiful because it's always exactly what I needed to hear or exactly who I needed to talk to. Or we connected in a way that like who would have thought last week I spoke to somebody that lives like 20 minutes down the street and I wouldn't have ever really known her. We have people that we have in common. Like she gets on one of my podcast episodes and she's like oh yeah I live in Central Florida. I'm like too and she's like oh I'm like where and she's like oh here I'm like that's where I grew up like how crazy and I live 20 minutes away from you. And so it just it's allowing the I took like a a year off of recording and putting out podcast episodes because it energetically it felt like a chore rather than the flow that I have felt over the last few weeks where I restarted the podcast again. And then you get in your head, oh well should I just like start all over? No, I've already done two full seasons of the podcast. Just start now. What am I waiting for? And it felt so good. It felt different than the energy that I felt towards the end of season two last year. And so I was like okay it's time and I've talked to people like you that I'm like oh my gosh I totally can feel that connection. I felt like I just needed to talk to you. And that has been so beautiful to come across these people but it's because I trusted that now was the right time to restart it. And it was that moment that I posted about finding guests for my podcast. And it was a coincidence that you saw a beautiful coincidence, right? That you saw the post and you filled out the form and you are on here now. Like it just it feels like it was supposed to flow exactly this way. But you only learn to trust that when you give yourself those like listen to that little voice and little by little you build that trust if you don't have it. If you don't have this beautiful practice of like let me just listen to my body because not all of us do when you just start listening to the little things and it starts guiding you and you're like oh my God this worked out awesome then you're like okay I can start trusting this on a bigger scale and it just kind of like builds from that. And I feel like you've had to trust that instinct and go to Spain or go to now Vietnam or whatever. And it's these little things that you're like well um yeah that I I listen to my body I listen to a dream I listened to something was guiding me and I listened and that those little every single time it's like you continue to build that trust and it's so beautiful.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah thank you for sharing that it's so powerful firstly that you took that break and you acknowledge that because the mind would have been like oh my gosh why are you stopping and oh it did yeah the tuck of words like the thing is though firstly I wanted to acknowledge that because it's amazing not many people will do that and that can be applied to anything in life right to your business or maybe a hobby you pursued or whatever. And I realized I had a lot of black and white conditioning black and white thinking like if I do stop now I will never do it again. Yeah that's not true. There's a lot of nuances in there a lot of coloring but I wouldn't allow that right and that's cool too to see that because that will hold us back then to take the break because we are too scared that this will never come back. If it never comes back then something else will emerge and bless but let go and that's the hardest part look I had to let go of boxing oh my gosh that was such an ego death for me in that moment I'm not sure if I will go back into the ring there's a part of me that there's something it doesn't feel finished but it may not be the way I think yeah but to let go of that oh that was the biggest part I was like it was because as I said it was so much more than just the sports it was my safety net it was my grounding my awakening my acceleration my connection to source like all of it and so much more right but to really trust that and I made it difficult for myself because I was almost like now I'm hanging on a little bit here and then it was almost like still hanging in between I but the moment I let go I felt so liberated and free. Yeah that was scary but you can only learn to trust and right it's like with any relationship you're not just you didn't meet your husband like oh I trust you yeah it was built over time it has to be challenged as well the trust and tested and then you grow deeper deeper trust and through that trust you build confidence nothing that is given to you it's not an attribute or career like a personality trait that you have that we are born with something we build and that's why you have to practice it and also fail. I don't like the word fail but like we said before test yourself with little things like and always do that with the yes or no questions. Keep it very simple because the mind wants to analyze the mind wants to argue the mind wants to convince you right for example let's do something very simple like with a friend asks you out to go for coffee and you're not quite sure and then you just really tune in and be like does it feel right to me is that aligned yes or no and that is very simple and you will get a feeling you will know what feels like a yes to you like it will be expansive makes you feel light maybe you get some butterflies in the stomach whatever and no is usually like oh no or yeah if you're not there yet play a scenario like visualize or actually do it get ready to go and how do you feel when you get ready do you feel like excited then go do you feel like trained like oh my gosh like a chore then don't go and trust that and it's nothing personal it's not like you don't want to see your friend but today might not be the day because you may need rest or there's a pause created for you that you will receive a download about something about your business your children a challenge you had and all of a sudden oh my gosh I never looked at that I had that many times that sometimes I got guided to go maybe for let's say going later to the gym and because I was so conditioned to go at certain times and train and if and then the more I started to relax there and I would go that day later instead of the morning maybe the afternoon which is very unusual for me or weird because I was so like you know like in that way in this particular way but when I allowed that things were flowing through me I got a business idea I connected with the person or I did that and or I had a huge breakthrough in my own healing right because I was giving this pause I was like oh my gosh thank you thank you and sorry I was so fucking stubborn yeah exactly that's beautiful too and I have done the opposite too I would go then so because and then I would maybe a little injure myself or I would the workout wouldn't be great or would maybe bump into the person or something along the way it would just not be fun. And that's how I learned and that's how everybody can start and learn and now usually people ask so what is the soul what is the mind and I how I how it usually appears to be for most people based on my own experience and the people I've worked with this that your intuition is first when you don't tune in often it's a whisper it's very very subtle like this one or two seconds you don't almost don't hear it. And the mind is very loud and it's oh it's very mean the mind is mean it gets very mean the meanie meanie and also it's a very it gives ultimatums like I said before it does have this black and white thinking it can be like if you don't do it now you will never be good enough or you will never do it or you will miss out. You will never get this chance not true. It's absolutely not true. This is how people who are listening that you can start tuning in and maybe learn to discern more and then like play around with little things like even with the clothing you want to put on go with your intuition not with the mind like oh I should wear black or purple today or whatever.
SPEAKER_02:Just go with your feeling or when you go for a walk like don't plan it just let your soul guide you and be open to whatever appears and that's that's a beautiful journey because you free up energy because the mind takes a lot of energy because we can it's constantly in resistance to the flow of life because it tries to constantly keep you safe and constantly contemplating constantly being in the mind is training is exhausting isn't it it's so exhausting yes yeah yeah and I feel like that's where so at the end of last season editing the podcast was I felt like it was so tedious and it took so long and I'm now and I would only put post like I would upload once a week. I'm currently uploading twice a week and it feels fun and it feels like oh my god this conversation was so good. I can't wait to like do all the things and it's just such a different energy that I'm so excited because again how else would I have met you? It feels aligned. It feels like I've met the people that I needed to the the first guest that I had this season he was an author that his memoir was coming out like the following week and it was like a Tuesday that I recorded and something told me get it out by Friday and not the week after not the Friday after his book comes out get it out before and then download his book and listen to it. Oh my God, it was exactly what I needed it was beautiful. I laughed I cried he doesn't understand how much he's touched my life because of a situation that I'm dealing with someone in my life and I'm like how would I have ever met this person if I wouldn't have been like all right it's time to start again and felt good and like it just it flowed so beautifully that it doesn't feel like a chore and it did last year. So I'm like it's the same exact process. I have a process on how I edit and how I post and how like all I had a process. It's exactly the same and it feels so different. And it just feels more aligned right now. And I'm just like okay then this is what needed to happen.
SPEAKER_04:And that's beautiful and then when we are in the flow things just come they just come and then you take a line in action that's what I'm that is what I used to misunderstand as well about flow right I had this misperception about the flow they just go with the flow. But it is actually you get so much more done you're so much more productive because your time is so intentional as well and like you said you just get it out. I'm doing the same I had a time in August and it's only my first year of podcasting so my first year completed and I had to take off for a month or five weeks I didn't post because I had a massive massive healing that I needed to do for myself and the a break that I needed because it was my body was asking me for and everything was just a chore and at that moment I was like me you can't do this and I felt like I'm failing the people because I interviewed most of my people in July and then I would schedule and I did it a little bit different and that's cool too I learned we learn the way along you you go and and it was really interesting that and then when I got out of my little cove it just flowed it was fun and I couldn't wait to edit things and every conversation would spark up something in me again and it was just like that and well why would we do something from scarcity and because we transfer that energy no matter how good your content is or your post or how creative you are or you edit it amazing but the energy that you post it with that is behind that or throughout this process will be felt by the audience because I look oh my gosh I looked at people sometimes people like you can compare the ones who don't like let's say they have a very generic very simple post they don't do any editing and it's not even great background they actually do against everything the light whatever but they have millions of people watching it because of the energy and then you have people who like it's all eat a petit it's all like everything is done like a hundred percent like on spot best marketing and this and they have only a few and I thought about the followers I'm just like I think yeah but it's a good um comparison or some part of how energy works how it responds it responds to your frequency right and yeah that's again like it's so powerful to to be aware of that and I that is how powerful we are because when it works with the scarcity when it works with the things that don't align when it works with this diseases right and all the ailments and everything that's not going well how about we turn it around and make it work for ourselves and so actually like create the miracles and all these beautiful yeah I love that oh my gosh this has been I have a whole bunch of questions that I haven't even touched because this conversation has been so good so so good. So just give me and I think we've talked about it but just so that we get an idea if there's anything else like what limiting beliefs or roadblocks do you feel you had to overcome to get to where you are today oh there are many but um I guess that I'm not good enough or that I'm too much is one big one and that came pre birth with the energy and that yeah that was a big thing because that ties into everything and worthiness I that I'm not worthy to receive the abundance the love and that was one thing and for me love was tied to performance I have to perform I have to do something in order to be loved and I also mixed up attention as love I think that's these big untangling like if I get attention or like a brace that's not love it's just attention it's just like someone who gives me attention and the biggest thing about money was is was I'm in the midst of unconditioning that is tied of course to self-worth right to that I'm worthy of that. I used to think that only certain people are able to be millionaires or rich or wealthy whatever your definition is and that's not true but that's how I was conditioned and the way I grew up because my family was constantly put down and they're the odd ones they have no money not the best clothing and they live like whatever gypsies kind of thing and yeah I think these were roadblocks and that you can absolutely do anything you believe in. It's really up to you. If you believe it that's all that matters no matter if somebody else believes in you or not it's none of your business and I think that was yeah these were the biggest challenges and roadblocks for that they they are coming up right now.
SPEAKER_02:That's perfect because that's exactly what we need to hear.
SPEAKER_04:Do you have any daily habits that help you get to where you are oh absolutely I always I start my day with tuning in like tune into my soul and that there are various ways I don't have a discipline it's like someone else says like discipline I love that it's like a flow I tune in and then I definitely do breath work breath work is magical for me and meditation so that's like a flow and I connect to nature very important do yoga movement. I need to move daily workout um and I have a conversation with myself and God first in the morning I don't touch my phone until later like could be anytime 11 12 like this kind of thing where I literally go where I'm tapping into the energy field of other people I do things before I download I create I get down notes about what I'm supposed what I'm posting or not whatever it is and to be really the legitimate and set your boundaries once you have made boundaries for example for me it's like Sunday is my like nothing there's no there's no plan. It could I I could end up working that day because I feel guided to like work in a sense of like I would be writing whatever but I do let go of everything. And that also means to not make yourself available for your loved ones or for you really belitch with that because that's also how you build trust and confidence in yourself because you you learn to trust yourself and once you do that then you can trust others yeah but honestly do the things that light you up like literally do the things that light me up to fill my cup first and once it's filled up and overflowing all I give from that space and not from an empty cup I am it's impossible to give.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah I I learned that the hard way so yes I definitely agree I love all of it oh my gosh Mia this was amazing thank you so much and I will put all of your information on how people can connect with you in the show notes. So thank you for joining me today I really appreciate it.
