In this new capsule of Please Don’t Tell Me The Truth — The Saturday Call — Dalma and her best friend Gladys (PhD in Political Science + postdoctoral researcher in peace & conflict resolution) open the door to the weekly coffee ritual they’ve had for years.This episode is a real-time conversation about New Year’s resolutions, nervous system regulation, calm as a baseline, and why focusing on the outcome can quietly sabotage the life you’re trying to build. We talk mindset vs. goals, community, asking for help, being addicted to stress, and how to choose change without living in extremes.Grab your coffee.
