I remember that I was asked this question for the first time in my life during a job interview, when I was 20 years old. Honestly, I had no idea what to reply – growing up in Eastern Europe, I was told and reminded countless times of what my weaknesses were, but strengths? Was it […]
But… is it realistic?
One of the nastiest limiting beliefs that keep my clients from pursuing their dreams is this: “But this is not realistic! If it were, everyone would do It, right?” First of all, I usually acknowledge to my client that their dream is so resonant for them that it feels as if everyone must be dreaming […]

If I can do it, anyone can
No, this is not a story of a former drug addict who used to live in her car. I was not born in a slum, nor have I ever been homeless (so far). Was I forced to only eat instant noodles and drink boxed wine for some period of my life? Perhaps. Also, I used […]
What is keeping you back from trusting yourself?

What are powerful questions and what makes them so powerful?

Powerful questions shift the power dynamics in a conversation so that the person who is asking becomes […]
You know what you want, you just don’t want to hear it
Maybe you can relate to this situation: You would like to make a change in your life but don’t know what you want. You want to find your passion. Or to make a radical change but you want it to be the “right” decision. Perhaps you feel stuck and you assume it’s because you take […]
