Moving to another country and adding another chapter to your life can be an amazing experience.

As soon as you decide to leave your homeland and take the first step into the unknown you’ll probably have some expectations on how that journey is going to go. Man makes plans and God laughs. At every stage of life we make plans, setting out where we want to go and imagining what we will be like when we have arrived. But things have a way of turning out not quite as we hoped or expected.

In this episode I have a conversation with Lorentz Figenschau about moving to Setubal, Portugal and the adventures that were waiting for him once he arrived. It is inevitable that you will have to face dragons on your journey and sometimes they show up in pairs. Not only will this test your faith but it will also give you an opportunity to transform yourself into a dragon slayer.

In this podcast you will discover that Lorentz is not only a strong and brave dragon slayer but he is also a warrior of the light with an amazing and inspiring story to tell and he is not afraid to be vulnerable in the process of demonstrating that. To me that is the definition of a genuine, certified, bonafide hero and I am grateful our paths crossed.

If you are looking for inspiration and real life stories of people who are on their hero’s journey and how they deal with their challenges than this is the perfect podcast for you.

Moving to another country is an adventure. The automatic pilot switch gets turned off and you become very aware of where you are and what you are doing. Everything is new and to me it felt like being unleashed as a kid at Toys R Us for the very first time!

You feel excited because you step into a new world, waiting to be discovered. A different culture to explore, places to visit and new people to meet. Meeting new people is not only about making new friends, it is also a great way to learn more about yourself. We all have a story to tell about who we are, our dreams and fears and why we moved to a new country.

If you have the courage to go deep into yourself, and dig up and share those stories you will come to a place where you will find real connection. With other people and with yourself because some stories have a magical and healing ingredient.

In this episode of the Unleash The Hero Within podcast I’m talking with Filipa Matta May about her journey. She was an adopted child of a Portuguese family, became a lawyer but found her true passion in writing stories for children. Join me in this inspiring and sometimes emotional conversation where we talk about being present, the best and worst days of our life and speaking your dream into the world.
