How to Use Healing to Achieve Your Goals

Well, hello my friend. If you tell me a year ago that healing can increase chances to achieve my goals and become more in love with myself, I wouldn't probably listen to you. But since 2020 created a breakthrough in my growth and made me understand the impact of my limiting beliefs and pains, I can see how we all can use it to our advantage. When we talk GOALS, we often think of setting up the goals, creating a time frame, looking for resources like money, or creating relationships and connectio...

Fear of Healing and How to Overcome It

I decided to do personal research to find out what are the most common reasons we shy away from healing, Honestly, I wasn't all that surprised. As a recovering tough cookie and someone who was terrified by facing my feelings, I get how difficult or confusing it is to face some of our pains or things from the past. But... I also know how liberating and peaceful it is to address them and how it affects our success and happiness level. There are two most common reasons we decided to put our healing...

Lies We Tell Ourselves

Since the environment we grew up in affects our beliefs and perceptions on a huge scale, it may limit us and create stories that aren't empowering. And what seemed as an innocent memory, turns into a strong belief and self-definition of who we are and what we are capable of. However, once we reach the point of adulthood, the power is given to us. We can decide, we can change, we can manifest, we can create, we can stop and start pretty much anything we want. That's some freaking good news, don't...

The One Episode I Didn't Want to Record

Today's podcast episode is going to be quite personal. It isn't a topic I am eager to talk about but a subject we should address. Since the beginning of this year, I've met quite a few women who shared with me their personal stories I could relate to. Although it surprised me at first, it also made me aware that many women were molested or have a similar experience. Since talking about the hard stuff isn't taboo on my platform, I find it important to address this issue. It's common for us to sta...

The Silent part of Emotional Healing

When I started my journey of healing and feeling, I had no idea what to expect. At first, I thought it is all about journaling and sage until I became serious and started discovering the spectacular benefits of addressing my life's situation. However, emotional healing is a dynamic process. Since you are dealing with many emotions and past experiences, it's natural to find it challenging, overwhelming, or even discouraging. I am becoming more aware that what people need when it comes to healing ...

Detaching from Old Identity

Some of your habits you've adopted or behaviors you've learned came from the times of struggle and survival. They allowed you to build mental resilience and value the results you've been able to accomplish. I bet you can agree with me on this one - Yes or Yes? However, this type of growth becomes ineffective when we link our identity to pains and the past that prevents us from moving forward and growing more. You may identify yourself with your past and your traumas and began to believe that thi...

Mastering the Manifestation Process

Hello, my friend. One of the reasons why I consider mental and physical health so crucial for manifesting your dreams is because it all comes down to the quality of emotions that predominate your life. From what I observed, many of us struggle to maintain a positive state of mind. We are drowning in guilt and shame, constantly beating ourselves down, striving for perfection or we feel resentment and wish things would be better. We identify ourselves with our behaviors and believe that this is WH...

The First Step Towards Healing

Let's do a fun exercise together. Imagine your ideal future and see everything that you have ever dreamed of. See it as something you already have, an energy that is present in your life right now. For an even deeper experience, close your eyes while doing this. Now, tell me, how did it feel? If you tuned in, quite fantastic. I asked you to do it since I know that you have dreams. I know that you want more from life - I am right there with you, my friend. But as many of us already know, effectiv...

Redefining Empowerment through Vulnerability

Well my friend, we need to be honest with each other. Many of us don't allow ourselves to feel. Not because we don't want to open up and share, but because we are afraid of transparency and judgment. I've had clients told me that they want to feel empowered, but they weren't sure how to embody this feeling. I always smile when I hear this because this has been a struggle I've fought for many years until I understand this: Power and mental strength come from emotional healing, vulnerability and w...

Escapism Through Busyness

Today, my friend, we are going to address one of the most common struggles we all face: the busyness syndrome. I already know you are feelin' me so let me ask you a question: "How big is your to-do list? How many things are on your plate daily that you need to do or create or figure out? AND...what if I tell you that the need to be always BUSY is a response to trauma and self-worth?" Since I am currently in the process of recovery from what I believed was an insane work ethic AKA obsessed workah...

Fearless Emotions

In today's podcast episode, I want to talk to every strong woman who is doing her best she can but still finds herself feeling inadequate and not strong enough. Since no one has all the answers and we all need a break, it's safe to say that taking the "I have my shit together" mask off is the surest way to fulfillment and true authenticity. Many of us have developed a belief that we have to be strong at all times. Many of us believe that that's what strong women do which can't be further from th...

The Concept of Love

One of the biggest topics that have flooded the internet in the personal development industry is self-love. There are so many feelings about what it is, how it shows up in our lives and whether we believe that we deserve it? Do you know why we hear about this concept so much? Because it's missing in our society. So many of us desperately search for a partner, someone who can love us. We crave it while forgetting in the process that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. We ju...

Motivation: Pain vs. Pleasure

Each of us is motivated by either pain or pleasure. We use them interchangeably but one of them often predominates. For most of my life, I thought that it doesn't matter which one of those motivates me more as long as I am motivated and driven. As I discovered later on, there is a difference in whether we are motivated by pain or pleasure. It shows in our emotional state, as well as a willingness to go beyond limits. To understand what motivates you in life, ask yourself: "Am I being motivated b...

Taking Emotions Out of the Equation

Emotions are a driving force of our actions. We act based on how we feel, not how we think. Learning how to manage our emotional state is crucial for healthy personal relationships as well as a career or a business. How many times have we acted based on our emotions, and later felt like we overreacted or took an argument to a higher level? It happened to all of us - no judgment here, my friend. The good news is that we can reduce and eliminate these situations by learning and practicing emotiona...

The Power of Sacrifice

One of the main mistakes we make when we set a goal is that we don't get clear on what it will carry. We can't expect to make significant changes in life while our lifestyle remains the same. Something eventually needs to give in. The question is: Is it your goal or your free and fun time? Some of us are satisfied with their 9-5, free weekends, some hobbies and family time. There is nothing wrong with that since happiness in life has many forms. However, if you are one of those folks who want to...

Commitment to Yourself

Before you tune into today's podcast episode, I want you to ask yourself this question" How committed am I to myself, my dreams and my most important goals?" We have commitments like our family, spouse or partner, our career, and our job. As important as all of these are, it's crucial to recognize what deserves our priority and when. Today, I want to call all of my people pleasers and those who have developed habits that make them say YES to the wrong thing and NO to the right thing. Tune in and...

Ending my Marriage

It's been over a year since I left my marriage and had an opportunity to heal and reflect. At first, I labeled my marriage as "failed." I couldn't be further from the truth. This experience taught me so much about myself and my inner power. It created some of the most significant breakthroughs in my life and helped me to evolve very fast. It reminded me that rapid growth is priceless. Many of us see past relationships as some dark shadow, a mistake, or a failure. How about we focus on what we le...

Self-Limited Thinking

At an early age, we often adopt limiting beliefs and patterns without ever questioning if they are valid and if they are contributing to our growth or sabotaging it. These beliefs become our way of life since they're the only thing we know. Because many of us weren't led or taught how to develop a strong self-belief, we do what we think we can do not what we are actually capable of doing. The challenge is that we are seeking proof to support these beliefs even when they are hurting us. I've obse...

Tapping Into Your Inner Power

Inner power is a state of mind. It's about fully tapping into your potential and believing that you have what it takes to figure things out and handle anything that comes your way. The problem is that only a few of us use it since we either believe we don't possess such a skill or that the external world easily takes it away from us. Fortunately, this is far from the truth. Developing inner power is about building a strong mindset where you learn how to see things from a different perspective an...

Start Evolving and Stop Settling

The reason why we often settle for things or people is that we are afraid that the next thing, job, business, or a person will be worse than what we have right now. Instead of risking and taking a chance, we want a safe bet. But the seemingly safe option if often the one which stops us from growth but keeps us stuck. In my private Facebook group "Women's Inner Power Circle", one of my members asked me "How do I keep evolving? How do I prevent myself from settling and stay aligned with my goals?"...

Feeling Desperate (Part 2)

Last week, we talked about the desperation which comes from the desire to control outside circumstances. Today, we will focus on the desperation associated with people and their presence in our lives. When we love and care about someone, it's natural to fear to lose them since they matter to us. But what about people who don't care about us and don't respect us? Why do we put them on some sort of pedestal? We begin to lower our standards and ignore our boundaries because we are afraid that peopl...

Feeling Desperate (Part 1)

One of the most common reasons we feel desperate is our desire to control external circumstances. We wish things could be easier or we feel entitled to a better life. If things don't go as planned, we get desperate and scared. Desperation itself isn't an emotion that is beneficial to our growth unless we learn to let go and focus on building ourselves from the inside. When we feel desperate, we act differently. We make decisions out of fear and we are in a rush. Our brain is paralyzed by a lack ...

Self-Care and Spiritual Hygiene

One of the most powerful feelings you can have is stillness. When you are in the midst of chaos but still manage to feel still - that's power. And this power comes from taking care of yourself and having spiritual hygiene in place. Think of this mental state as a happy medium - you aren't too calm and you aren't too excited. You are somewhere in the middle where you feel solid on the inside and focused. The real meaning of self-care and many spiritual practices is in developing mindsets and atti...

The Power of Boundaries

One of the most profound ways on how to embrace self-love and create deep relationships with others is by setting clear and healthy boundaries. What often prevents us from setting boundaries is the fear of losing people. We are afraid that if we set higher standards or communicate what we aren't willing to tolerate, people will walk away. The truth is that those who aren't willing to respect things you aren't comfortable with shouldn't be on your priority list in the first place. It all comes do...

Auto-Pilot Mode

Living on auto-pilot means doing things or perform activities which you are so accustomed to and used to, you don't even think about them. Let's take driving, taking a shower or brushing your teeth. Those are activities that you want to perform with ease in order to avoid feeling overwhelmed. That's when your auto-pilot mode comes handy. The problem is that we do things on auto-pilot in so many areas of our lives, we don't even think about the majority of them. It's important to question our bel...

Staying Focused

During challenging times, when we aren't in our best or feel overly stressed out, we tend to lose focus and postpone our goals. As much I understand that stress and uncertainty may impact your mindset and performance, this is the time to double down on your goals, your focus and your personal growth. You aren't born to "chill." You are here to challenge yourself and grow. The world didn't stop - things only slow down. It is a matter of a time when the seemingly bad situation will pass and we all...

Dealing with Uncertainty

Uncertainty itself doesn't cause as much stress as the desire to control. The inability to control situations or people is what brings us suffering since it leaves us to feel hopeless and desperate. The only aspect in any given situation you can manage is you, your thoughts and therefore your emotions. That should be your focus at all times. Uncertainty will always be present in your life whether you start a new business, move to a different country, change career or deal with people in general....

Mindset Shift

Many of us try to change things by altering our external world instead of doing the inner work first. The quality of your life stands on your mindset. Instead of controlling things that are out of your control, learn how to manage your thoughts and feelings which you have full control over. No matter where you came from or how many limiting beliefs you've adopted over the years, you can always change the way how you see the world through practice, tools and exercises that are designed to help yo...

Elevation Vs. Escape

There are two ways to deal with challenges, daily demands or things that frustrate us and bother us: we either escape or we elevate. Frankly, there isn't anything wrong with occasional escaping by grabbing a cocktail with your bestie or crushing on the couch and watching a funny movie. But if you escape more than you elevate, if you numb your emotions and lack of fulfillment by overeating, substance abuse or binge-watching Netflix, the only healthy escape is elevation. Elevation and escape both ...

Healing Loneliness

There is a difference between being physically alone and feeling lonely. While time alone allows us to reflect and relax, loneliness makes us feel like we don't belong and there isn't anyone who understands us. Our feeling of loneliness comes down to one important thing: the quality of our relationships. Strong connections bring people together since they create a deep sense of belonging. However, fighting loneliness isn't only about others. It also stands on the quality of our inner world, what...
