(EN) Aube - Two weird women and a baby

In this episode we hear from Aube, who’s a French scholar living in Denmark. Aube brilliantly shares heartwarming and deeply personal experiences whilst drizzling the episode with thorough theory and research. As such, both your heart and mind will be put at work in the best possible way. This episode is a nod of gratitude to our deepest calling – daring to notice and follow it, even when it takes us through fear and unknown territory.
