I was thinking on the train home about what this group has become. We started as students on a course and ended up as a close circle of people who have opened up completely to others (that is my experience and how I feel). A place where, if you put your heart out there, a net of hands catches it and helps it land softly without getting hurt. Thank you. What a beautiful experience.

I want to say that María Gilabert has worked magic in bringing the people in this group together, and that sharing this experience with you has been TOP. It is incredible how much you gain from being surrounded by people who are such pros, not just professionally but, above all, as people! I wish I could have experienced it more intensely, as some of you did by travelling and staying together, and I, at least, am left wanting more. I suggest we organise a couple of days away together in a few months, once we have had a rest. But it is very important that we try to go somewhere none of us lives, so it means the same for everyone. What do you think?

I am home now, with my heart full of love, a huge smile on my face and tears in my eyes as I look at all the photos and remember every moment. If you miss me, I miss you all a thousand times more. I do not know if words exist to express everything we have experienced, but one phrase that comes close for me is: “a connection between souls whose energy is amplified when they are together”. Because that is what I felt: that together we brought out the best version of each other, on every level. T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U.

Come on, everyone, today is our day of Gràcia. Already on my way to Madrid, feeling so happy about everything we experienced together and a little sad too. It is hard to describe in words how I feel, so I will send you all a HUGE hug instead. Let us keep aiming for the sky.

I was having such a rough afternoon, but I enjoyed the class so much that you even turned my thinking around, María Gilabert. I am going to get dressed up and go out for dinner. Many thanks to you and to everyone who shared their examples; they really helped me see things differently and rethink my speech.

Hellooo, I am going out to dinner with a smile on my face. What a fun, interesting and powerful session! Here is some homework for next time, María and Amanda: “María sends mandarins while Amanda mixes apples. Amanda admires María, who kneads dough with mastery. María and Amanda, both dazzling, work magic as they knead and mix wonders.”

Friends! Happy Friday! Today I watched Amanda Montiel’s class! Brilliant! I studied music and performed quite a bit as a pianist when I was younger, and I sang in a choir too, so I knew some of these exercises. Today I practised a little! Anyway, here is my practice at being ridiculous.

And just when you had a script ready, María Gilabert comes along and talks to you about storytelling, and you start thinking about past experiences. Boom!!! My mind will not stop.

Friends, good morning! I have spent a few hours catching up on the classes. Even though I feel like a brain cell might burst, it is like a drug because I cannot stop. I want more! I also wanted to tell you that little by little I can see that I share many of my beliefs with you (because I do not have just one). That comforts me, because I realise that we are all similar here and feel similar things. So let us all give it our all and share without fear of making mistakes or looking ridiculous. Thank you!

Here is another change of voice. In case you would like to see how using your voice well lets you create characters with whatever intention you want. This is the new Samsung advert featuring my voice.

It is great, and a very good initiative. Tips: watch your non-verbal communication. Rest your arms on the table with your hands facing up. It is good to communicate with your hands. The tone seems good to me and supports your speech. Great for a first try, Montse. As soon as I can, I will send you mine, talking about yesterday and the pre-wedding.

The truth is that this morning I was driving to work with the volume all the way up (I think the car was moving thanks to the vibrations of the songs rather than the engine), and I do not think I have ever gone to work so happy. What a playlist! I got out of the car feeling like I could take on the world! And it really helped, because as soon as I opened my email I found a message from the committee that was not exactly a welcome message.

What a great family we are going to build, and I hope it lasts a long time! I love this community. By the way, those of you who would like to be guests on the podcast are invited for the third season. And whoever mentioned yesterday that they need help creating a podcast, get in touch with me in case my experience can help.
