Descripción del Episodio

President Trump is warning of economic consequences for any country that supports Iran as he tries to wind down the war, leaving Gulf allies worried about their future with their powerful neighbor.
The U.S. national debt has topped 40 trillion dollars, with the government now spending more on interest than on defense and driving up the cost of everything from mortgages to small business loans.
U.S. oil companies are signing deals in Venezuela for the first time in nearly two decades, eight months after American forces captured Nicolás Maduro, even as the country’s politics remain unsettled.

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa

By shows

Respira, Reconecta y Recuerda ay algo que no te han dicho… y probablemente no te va a gustar escucharlo: 👉 No estás tan bien como crees. Si no puedes dormir… si te irritas fácil… si necesitas ruido constante… si te sientes "exitoso", pero en el fondo no estás en paz… Este no es otro podcast de desarrollo personal. Es una confrontación contigo mismo. En este trailer, Susana Gamboa abre una conversación incómoda pero necesaria sobre lo que realmente está pasando dentro de ti: No es tu mente. 👉 Es tu sistema nervioso. Y mientras no lo entiendas… vas a seguir reaccionando igual, aunque creas que ya trabajaste en ti. Este espacio es para quienes están listos para dejar de sobrevivir… y empezar a sentirse vivos de verdad. Respira. Quédate. Este puede ser el inicio de algo distinto.
