10. Discovering Another Way with Matt DeFina

Description

Welcome to A Nourished Woman Podcast With Mikka Raer. A podcast that aims to guide women towards a more true, whole, fulfilling, and joyful way of living. In this episode I am joined by my good friend Matt DeFina.

Matt is a Psychologist, Coach, Facilitator & the founder of Another Way where he guides purpose-driven professionals, entrepreneurs & change-makers to build meaningful lives & careers without burning out.

I want to read something from his website that I love, the catalyst behind him starting Another Way:

Exhausted and feeling far from complete, I couldn't continue pretending that everything was okay. I couldn't envision spending another 50 years on an endless treadmill, constantly striving to prove my worth.

In that moment, I made a decision that changed my life.

I chose never to abandon myself again. I embraced authenticity and vowed to always act from a place of service—to myself and others. I started questioning everything I thought I knew and discovered that much of it simply wasn't true.

I embarked on a journey to find Another Way - a path that would bring genuine fulfilment, richness, and meaning. No more pretending or conforming to societal expectations. I surrounded myself with kindred spirits who also sought truth and authenticity and demanded the same of me.

Now, I'm here, eager to work with individuals and groups who share the same desire for an extraordinary life.

We first met in 2010 while in the Greek Islands and instantly connected. We have been friends ever since & I count him as one of the biggest supports in my life, especially over the past 12 months. Matt is a very special human and I am thrilled to have him on the podcast this season. I plan on having him back to go even deeper on some topics in Season 2.

This chat does have a slightly different flavour to it, ultimately it is a conversation between friends.

I hope something in our chat resonates with you.
