Part. 1:
## On the Path of Self-Discovery
In this newest episode of 'Reboot Your Life', we look to Rome, Italy’s, Enrica Ferruzzi, an expert on spirituality and healing. Enrica, who once thrived in a corporate world of suits and boardrooms, heeded her inner calling for deeper purpose and significance. She bid a brave farewell to the corporate grind, immersing herself into a journey of spirituality and healing arts.
## Finding your Superpowers
We discuss using holistic practices like mindfulness and spirituality to survive life-changing seasons. In a post-pandemic world that saw relationships unravel and people lose their jobs, self-love and self-care take the center stage more than ever before.
Unlike the past, the narrative around mental well-being is changing. Old ways of living have given way to what makes us truly happy. For example, a person like Enrica can rediscover her hidden superpowers, embark on a captivating journey of self-discovery and healing, and write a new chapter in her life.
## Adopting Mindfulness Lifestyle
Healing is an inside job, running deep in our minds and bodies. We speak about mindfulness- a state of being that helps us declutter our minds, pay attention to our inner minds, and makes room for change. Enrica talks about her life-altering journey of discovering mindfulness. She explains how her psychiatrist's suggestion to pay attention to her breathing seemed like a daunting task but eventually turned out to be the cornerstone of her stress management.
From dealing with workaholic tendencies to exploring alternative therapies like mindfulness, Enrica has experienced a dynamic shift in her attitude towards life. She rebuts the notion of change being difficult, asserting instead that change is natural to our existence.
## Beads of Light: Encouraging Transformation through Spirituality
Enrica Ferruzzi is the author of "Beads of Light," a book that encourages self-discovery and healing. The book conveys the importance of 'mindfulness', a concept that is very natural yet very neglected in our lives. It teaches us to pay attention to and understand the language of our mind and body, bringing us closer to our authentic selves.

## Overcoming Obstacles with Netflix Star Aurora Cosio
In this second part of the episode, we chat with Aurora Cosio, a rising star from Netflix's top show 'Griselda'. Aurora shares her unique tale of following her dream and achieving it. Despite dealing with her medical condition, known as 'POTS', Aurora founded 'Good Morning Happiness.' This initiative is committed to spreading joy, love, and laughter as a way to cope with not only the aftermath of long Covid but also mental stresses of everyday life.
Aurora's journey serves as a wonderful testimony to the power of resilience, hard work, and a positive outlook towards life. It reinforces that no dream is too large, as we all are capable of transforming our battles into our success stories. The key lies in how faithfully we show up for our dreams each day.
1. The Journey to Good Morning Happiness
Aurora Cossio's journey to Good Morning Happiness began with her personal struggles and the realization that going through life's challenges invariably affects our joy and well-being. Moving to the United States in pursuit of her dreams, she encountered numerous obstacles that threatened to overshadow her happiness. Additionally, Aurora shared her experience coping with a medical condition known as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which added to her physical and emotional pain. However, it was through her own journey of self-discovery that she found her way to Good Morning Happiness. By combining laughter therapy and the principles of neuroplasticity, Aurora harnessed the power of her mind to create a daily routine focused on joy and positivity.
2. Unleashing the Power of Neuroplasticity
A significant aspect of Aurora's Good Morning Happiness program is the understanding and application of neuroplasticity. She discovered that the brain is capable of forming new neural connections and rewiring itself, even in the face of physical and emotional challenges. By training the mind and directing thoughts towards positivity, individuals can unlock hidden potential and improve their overall quality of life. Aurora's background as a psychologist adds depth and expertise to her program, ensuring a holistic approach to mental well-being.
3. Laughter as Medicine
Laughter has long been hailed as the best medicine, and Aurora's experience affirms its power in truly transforming lives. When she started incorporating laughter therapy into her routine, she noticed a significant improvement in her physical and mental health. By deliberately seeking out opportunities for simulated laughter, Aurora was able to trigger positive physiological responses in her body. This simple yet powerful technique was instrumental in helping her find joy even during the most challenging moments.
4. Resilience: Activating Your Superpowers
Another key component of Aurora's program is resilience. She believes that resilience is a superpower that lies within each individual waiting to be activated. Through the Good Morning Happiness program, participants learn to tap into their inner strength and face adversity head-on. Building resilience involves working through past traumas and reprogramming limiting beliefs. Aurora's own journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience. By continuously practicing and nurturing resilience, individuals can manifest their dreams and overcome any obstacles that come their way.
Conclusion:
Aurora Cossio's journey from Colombia to Hollywood serves as an inspiration to us all. Her focus on spreading joy, love, and laughter through her Good Morning Happiness initiative is a testament to her own commitment to self-improvement and helping others. By navigating medical challenges and finding happiness within herself, Aurora has shown us that the power to change our lives lies within. Through neuroplasticity, laughter, and resilience, individuals can unlock their full potential and thrive, no matter the circumstances. So, let Aurora's story be a reminder that there is always hope, and by embodying positivity, resilience, and self-belief, we can conquer any challenges that life throws our way. Let us embrace each day with a "Good Morning Happiness" mindset and embark on a journey of personal transformation.
