Digital Nomad, Astro Coach, Psychologist. Mariana combines the science of human behavior with yet-to-be-explored human/cosmos connection to shortcut your path to discovering your brightest talents and biggest business and career opportunities.
TUNE IN TO LEARN:This was one fascinating conversation we did in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, with one-of-a-kind human, astro coach Mariana, from Peru that taught me quite a lot about what astrology can do for personal and professional development. During our chat we realized that we do the same thing, using a different approach - helping people to express their full potential. Isn’t this what drives us all? Be everything we can be while still here?We’ll chat about:What astrology and your birth chart are;How Mariana ended up being an astro coach after getting a degree in psychology, and how it clicked for her that she can help people better, combining a scientific approach with what is yet-to-be-fully-understood by the scientific community;How astrology can save you years spent on self and soul-searching - it’s always easier to find what you look for, if you are directed to a smaller search area;How astrology and psychology can help you shape your career and business journey, finding opportunities you love faster;For skeptics out there (we both partly are) - why astrology makes sense and how it shapes our lives whether you believe in it or not, in fact, it’s silly to think we aren’t affected by what happens in the cosmos;Mariana’s nomadic journey, how she ended up in Playa Del Carmen, finding her life partner;Mariana’s intuitive approach to healthy eating and fitness, having overcome (like many of us women) a challenging relationship with food;Mariana’s lifestyle non-negotiables to keep going no matter how challenging nomadic life of an astro coach gets;This is a conversation not to miss for open minds committed to growth - trust me on this!MARIANA'S BIO:Mariana (master's in integral psychotherapy) graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and became an astro coach. Mariana has almost 10 years of experience in the field. But maybe the most important thing that you should know about Mariana is that she is passionate about human potential. Mariana loves to see individuals embracing their unique power, helping them to create extraordinary lives.

Radical adaptability for your startup depends on this food. So does your personal ability to open your mind to new ideas.
TUNE IN TO LEARN:Startups team, while growing and scaling often ask me, "How do we preserve our startup culture? Where we change rapidly?" - I'd say keep your team eating THIS to make the brain "plastic", rapidly learning, adjusting to new demands as needed. Stubbornness isn't a virtue in the environment where change is accelerated. One molecule the brain depends on to open up the gate of learning, brain plasticity. Most people don't eat enough, maybe that's why vegans are so "hard headed" (I've been one for 5 years - I know how it feels).Produced by Angela Shurina,Schedule our call HERE.CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST, BRAIN PERFORMANCE COACHNutrition + Neuroscience + Behavior ChangeI help you use nutrition and lifestyle protocols, biohacking and space design as tools to unlock your brain genius and unlimited energy level, off-the-charts productivity🔥(Founders, business owners, distributed teams.)Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

I took ice 🥶bath for my birthday - the most essential skill for entrepreneurs to train. Why Navy Seals go through cold water exposure.
TUNE IN TO LEARN:Not for everyone - but then again, life of challenges and growth - not everyone chooses it either. Nothing like cold exposure to test this one skill that's essential to grow in health, business, relationships, nothing like cold exposure to test if you gonna quit when things get uncomfortable. Most of us run from the discomfort searching for a space where the grass os greener - I did that for most of my life. But the change, the progress, actually comes from those experiences when we choose to stay and work through it.Produced by Angela Shurina,Schedule our call HERE.CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST, BRAIN PERFORMANCE COACHNutrition + Neuroscience + Behavior ChangeI help you use nutrition and lifestyle protocols, biohacking and space design as tools to unlock your brain genius and unlimited energy level, off-the-charts productivity🔥(Founders, business owners, distributed teams.)Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant
