Body Landscapes: She Returns to Herself

Today my guest is a sophrologist Delphine Ricciuti, based in Amsterdam.We want to talk about fertility in a way that is rarely spoken about. Not as a problem to fix, not as a race against time, and not only as a medical diagnosis.In this episode we explain:Why Fertility Is Not Just a Medical Issue?Why is it so important to feel and listen to your Body, to know how to regulate emotions?The Hidden Fear of Identity Shift: Am I Ready to Become a Mother? (or a Father).Overcontrol and stress are your enemies. Nurture your body, don’t Torture.“You Are Not Your Mother (Father)”: Personal History & Unresolved conflicts.Why it's important to grief and process if you had miscarriage, stillborn or abortion.Situations when “The Place Is Taken”.Many women do everything right: tests, protocols, supplements, discipline. And still — the body doesn’t respond. This is where we want to pause. Because fertility is not only about hormones or organs.It’s about how safe your body feels.It’s about how much pressure you carry.It’s about whether you are listening to your body — or constantly pushing it.In this conversation, we’re not giving instructions on how to get pregnant.We’re opening a wider perspective: how stress, emotional regulation, personal history, and trust in the body shape fertility — often silently.Fertility is not a race, a test, or a personal failure. It’s a conversation between body, psyche, lineage, and life timing.Sometimes the work is not to get pregnant — but to become fertile on all levels.Your body is not broken. It’s intelligent. And it deserves to be listened to, not fixed.If you like this episode - let me know!

Why do some goals feel heavy, delayed, or impossible—no matter how motivated you are?In this episode, we go beyond mindset, discipline, and productivity hacks. We talk about the real decision-maker behind success: the body.You’ll learn why your body can slow you down, block action, or create “lack of motivation” when a goal is misaligned, unsafe, or rooted in past or ancestral experience. We explore how the nervous system, the belly, and the heart respond to goals long before the mind makes a plan.This episode includes guided body-based exercises to help you:Check whether a goal is truly yoursSense the body’s yes or no (without forcing it)Understand sabotage as protection, not failureConnect with your future self through embodied awarenessRecognize when planning is premature—and when alignment is already thereIf you are tired of pushing, forcing, and overriding yourself…If traditional goal-setting doesn’t work for your nervous system…If you are creative, sensitive, or neurodivergent…This episode will help you shift from willpower to intelligence—body intelligence.Because success doesn’t start in the mind.It starts in the body.Book a Free Callhttps://photoarttherapy.nl/

We’ve been told to be strong — but what if strength was the very thing that broke us?The idea of being “strong” once meant being emotionless — made of stone. Yes, we need discipline. But real strength comes from wholeness, from self-love, and self-worth, when all parts within you are allowed to exist.Let’s redefine strength through the female lens.In this episode, I’ll ask you many questions — and share a short practice. Afterward, I invite you to take your pastels and express what arises for you through color and form.self-worth for womenbody-mind connection#AuthenticWoman#SelfWorthJourney#ArtTherapy
