The mind as a garden: choosing which thoughts to cultivate Every day, our mind receives thousands of stimuli. Some blossom and become ideas that sustain us; others, like weeds, invade our emotional ground until it is exhausted. The good news, as psychologist and therapist Rebeca Podestá explains, is that “our brain is constantly changing and […]

In the daily hustle and bustle, where every responsibility stretches us in multiple directions, we often disconnect from the child we once were, whose echo still resonates within us. Often, this disconnection arises from difficult experiences that we prefer to relegate to oblivion; however, by recognizing them, we open the door to paths of self-knowledge

In the whirlwind pace of our daily lives, it’s easy to silence what truly drives us. Ontological coach Esteban Proaño reminds us that “self-awareness is the basis of empowerment”: without understanding what we feel and why, we will hardly find the words to claim what we need. And, as our co-founder Ursula Pfeiffer corroborates, “absolutely,

In the midst of the daily whirlwind, when obligations and unforeseen events intertwine to shake our balance, we discover the urgency of an inner anchor. Resilience, that capacity to reinvent ourselves after pain, is not born by chance or from a mysterious gift: it is learned with the art of self-knowledge and tenderness towards ourselves.

In an era where sexual information circulates at digital speed, myths and taboos persist that hinder our erotic well-being. Psychopedagogue Analía Pereira, director of the diploma in Comprehensive Sex Education at the National University of Río Cuarto, shared with Yuriyana Club how this cultural noise marked her first steps: “Whoever is a sexuality educator always

Childhood is a territory full of emotional landscapes, where every unattended cry or unexpected shout draws invisible paths in our minds. Clinical psychologist Bertha Gálvez states that “many of our fears are formed between the ages of zero and three, when we still can’t rationalize them.” Those early imprints reappear as shadows whenever we feel

Social Pressure and New NarrativesFrom childhood, we are taught—often without questioning—how we should look, what achievements will make us “successful,” and in what order to reach social milestones. This constant pressure filters into our conversations with friends, leading to comparisons disguised as compliments and comments that undermine confidence. Instead of letting ourselves be dragged along

Every friendship should be a refuge, but sometimes it becomes a field where every achievement feels like a personal challenge. And when this becomes routine, what we face is toxic competition. This type of dynamic doesn’t come with banners: it seeps into subtle comments about body language, feigned comparisons of achievements, or glances that measure

Before we delve into the topic, let’s jog our memory. In the first article on female friendship, we reviewed the silent competition that can arise between friends and proposed seven questions to detect whether a bond elevates or exhausts us. Today we’re honing in and looking at two patterns that, although seemingly opposite, end up

Before trying to “fix” a friendship, we need to understand the dynamic that sustains it. Constant comparison—about body, partner, work—can sneak into even years-long bonds, and it does so with such subtlety that it’s hard to name. In this installment, we explore covert competition: what causes it, how it manifests, and what questions can help
