  • Ep. 010 Get out of your comfort zone
    “The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi

    Mondays, just like any days, should be used to get out of your comfort zone, to conquer new heights, to go on new adventures, to do new things, to discover new places and many more. If Mondays are perceived as not suitable days to do something new, then you waste almost 2 months of doing nothing and falling into boring routine.

    I want to challenge you to perceive each Monday as the day to do something new. Every Monday, I want you to do something out of your comfort zone, out of your tight schedule, out of your boring routine. It can be big as signing up for a new course to master your skills or go to a new place you’ve never been. It can also be as small as trying out latte for the first time.

    From now on, there are happy Mondays that we will use as exciting, adventurous and exploring days! Let’s do this.

    In this Episode, you will:

    Be motivated and get energetic boost to help you get through the week
    Change your stereotyped thinking about ‘bad Mondays’
    Understand how much you waste if you skip Mondays
    Get motivational kick to get out of your comfort zone
    Get challenged to something new every single Monday
    And again, be reminded that anything is possible

  • Ep. 009 No excuses, Actions only
    “People with integrity DO WHAT THEY SAY say they’re going to do. Others have excuses,” – Laura Schlessinger

    Human is one of the most unpredictable species out there that can do anything if the right buttons are pressed. In this episode, “No excuses, Actions only”, I want to press those right buttons with you, remind you that anything is possible and discuss some tips on how you can action.

    I genially don’t believe that someone is less creative than the other one. You ask me why? The answer is that everyone is creative and full of ideas, it is just creativity can also be spread among different topics. The reason why you don’t start is because you are creating excuses. You create excuses to brainstorm about the ideas that will help you to get closer to your goal. You create excuses to avoid challenges that you might face. You create excuses because you are afraid to fail. All excuses lead to you no starting and not actioning. When you don’t action, all your beautiful, creative, innovative ideas go into so called “Forgotten Wishes and Ideas” folder.

    Albert Einstein invented the theory of General Relativity while asleep as well as Mendeleev invented periodic table which turned out to be a phenomenal in mathematics. Ludwig van Beethoven was deaf while wrote, created and published one of the most beautiful and famous art pieces that anyone still knows and there are thousands of beautiful people who created something unbelievable.

    Anything is possible. Put your positive mind to your idea, invest, commit, remove all doubts and start doing it. You can do it like anyone else. Start now!

    In this Episode, you will:

    Learn about what idea is
    How the idea can transform into actionable journey
    Understand the blocks that stop you from taking actions

  • Ep. 008 A letter to parents

    “A letter to parents” is the episode I want to dedicate to all parents and parents to be. First, I want to thank all parents out there for being you. Thank you for giving us birth, thank you for raising us, thank you for behaving us, thank you for your continuous guidance, constant care, love and nourishment, for handling our shit shows and for staying strong enough to keep up with us.

    I completely understand that there is no such thing as a guidebook that describe precisely what to do when we have children and I completely understand the level of difficulty and challenges you face in parenthood. However, I would love and I would greatly appreciate if parents listen to us, children.

    I think I will speak from all clans of children, stating that parents make mistakes as much as children do. Despite of your experience, despite of everything you’ve gone through, despite of all trends that are happening around the world…don’t push your children to be someone they don’t want to be and to be someone that ones you wanted to be yourself.

    We love you, let’s go on this beautiful life journey together.

    You will learn that parents make mistakes as much as children do
    Learn and hear how parents impact children from an early age
    Hear the story of the “ideal” kid and learn that the grass is not greener on the other side.
    Learn how to stimulate your child’s authenticity, unique and true personality
    Learn some tips on how to unleash the best in your children and find out who they want to become in the future
    And finally, be reminded that we are all unique, different and authentic and so should be your children

  • Ep. 007 You are good enough
    “You are beautiful, smart, strong, powerful, courageous, kind, positive...you are good enough. Don’t let anyone make you think otherwise.”

    Let’s get a little serious here and talk about what being underestimated feels like. Underestimation comes in different forms that can be related to your work, career, self development, family and friends. You can see underestimation when you don’t get recognition for the hard work done, when there is no promotion or salary increase, no trust in your work and in your individuality, ignorance on your persona and identity as well as no belief or recommendations towards you in general.

    I will be honest with you. There will always people who underestimate you, who say nasty comments towards you, who hate you, who don’t believe in you and don’t support you. Sadly but it’s the truth that we all have to face. But! You are the one who decides what will be next. Neither your age, now the years of experience, nor your body proportions, no people’s opinions will define what your future and your next steps will be. Your life is in your hands. If you stay focused on your goal, work smart and hard, believe in yourself without any self underestimation….I can guarantee you nothing will stop you.

    Love yourself, believe in yourself and never ever underestimate yourself no matter what.

    In this Episode, you will:

    Hear a couple of stories of my own and a very close of friend of mine
    Learn what underestimation can do to you and your life when it’s not controlled
    Hear a strong truth about haters
    Learn some tips on how to control underestimation
    And finally, be reminded that you are beautiful and YOU ARE definitely GOOD ENOUGH ☺

  • Ep. 006 How to solve a conflict
    “Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means,” - Ronald Reagan.

    Not everyone feels comfortable when they think about, talk about or face the conflicts. Some people perceive a conflict as something negative and for others it can be the biggest challenge that they try to avoid by any means. People tend to avoid conflicts because they touch memories, previous experiences, uncomfortable topics, emotions and feelings. However, conflicts should not be avoided but faced and solved. Any conflict can be solved with effective communication.

    Communication is a two way interaction that a person uses every day to send, received, encode, comprehend, analyse and store information. It is the act of conveying meaning from one to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules.

    If you are to use communication, any conflict, argument or misunderstanding can be solved. I would like to unleash some of the tactics and tips on how to solve the conflicts by communicating effectively and efficiently.

    In this Episode, you will:

    Interpret the conflicts
    Learn about communication
    Hear a few examples of conflicts and arguments
    Find out tips and tactics on how to solve the conflict
    And finally, be reminded that you are beautiful and anything is possible ☺

  • Ep. 005 Easy guide to organise yourself
    “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to to Helen Keller, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein,” - H. Jackson Brown Jr.

    Everyone has 24 hours a day, but for some reason some people manage to do everything and become successful and other don’t. In an ideal scenario, every hour is spent wisely and efficiently. In the real world, many times we waste our precious time on talking to bunch of people about nothing, scrolling on social media endless amount of hours, watching hundreds of movies and even the ones that we’ve watched many times, a lot of talking about tasks and responsibilities without the actual actions, a lot of complaining about the amount of tasks and to do’s instead of crossing them out off the list, other external distractions and ad-hoc things that magically pop up in the meantime.

    This episode is dedicated to showcase you how easily the time can be wasted and how easily you can multi-task, finish all your to do’s and even more. Within this episode I also unleash my organisational beast and share with you 9 tips on how to organise yourself.

    In this Episode, you will:

    Learn and understand how time can easily be wasted
    Listen about how I became an organised beast
    Realise how much time we spend on each action in reality
    Learn about 9 techniques and must-haves to organise your tasks
    And finally, be reminded that you should be unique and anything is possible ☺

  • Ep. 004 Love Yourself
    “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” - Buddha

    Self-love is an enormous topic that I can talk about for hours, days and months because a person without self-love will have no happiness, no confidence, no support, no respect, no beliefs,  low self-esteem, mixed priorities, wrong decisions and many more that can lead to fatal endings.

    Lack of self-love comes from the external factors and it can be from toxic environment, bad experiences, strict family regulations, bad friendships, toxic people, past failures and many more. We all are born with a lot of self-love, we are all born free and with limitless powers. Experience, surroundings, life conditions, families and friends are the one that shape our first black & white colours. My dear friend, I am not saying that it’s your fault that you have lack of self-love but I am saying that you have a control in which way it will affect you. As someone very wise said: “It’s not about if you fail, it’s about what you do about that”.

    How many people out there who accept the job opportunities because of social pressure? How many people out there depend on social opinions and trends by voluntarily becoming social prisoners? How many people out there do things to please someone because they prioritise them above themselves? Millions and millions of people put themselves in the cages because they don’t love themselves enough and I am talking to you about this because I don’t want this to happen to you and if it did, I want you to get out of there.

    In this Episode, you will:

    Learn and understand what self-love means
    Learn how self-love can affect our lives and what is the source of lack of self-love
    Learn about my own developed groups of people
    Hear a few stories and case studies that will help you to put the topic into practise
    Be inspired and motivated to love yourself
    And finally, be reminded that you are beautiful and anything is possible ☺

  • Ep. 003 Know how to use your fear
    “Your fears arise within you and stay within you, as long as you allow them to.”

    Your fear can be studied, examined and analysed to find a solution for it. I want to tell you one thing…it’s okay to be afraid, it’s okay to let these emotions within you and it’s okay to have them. Fear just like many negatively associated emotions can be turned into the biggest power driver.

    I want to share this episode with you to inspire, motivate you and share with you my tactics on how to turn your fears into your own benefits. If you are afraid and you don’t know how to deal with your fears, do the following:

    Step 1: Click in your head and treat your fear as a project or a test. Let it affect you and see what is happening. Analyse it closely and identify the key feelings that are happening during this time. You can also write them down or record your feelings to outline your behaviour during this time. Only by analysing this and treating this as your project, you will already feel less scared.
    Step 2: Once you have done the full analysis and you know how you are reacting, identify the winners during this time. Does fear make you more determined? Does it somehow push to action to win? Does it make you move faster? Does it help you to be more concentrated? If you found any kind of winners such as these, you found your power!
    Step 3: Conquering fears takes time, be prepared for that. Before you will completely get rid of it, you need to create ‘emergency exists’. Emergency exists are things that help you cover the fear, forget it or be less scared about. It can be a talk to your friend about it, joke about this in public, or masks that help you not show it to others.
    Step 4: Once you learnt yourself, identified the pattern of what it does to you, created and developed emergency exits, you are ready to face it. To completely remove it, you need to accept yourself as you are, love yourself and work on your confidence level. Many of the fears that we have come from lack of self-esteem and lack of confidence. Love yourself, chin up, and go for it. Choose the most comfortable time for yourself and face it, whatever it is.
    Step 5: In case none of the tests helped, never ever give up. Throw this thought away out of the window, it doesn’t exist. If you are afraid of something, hustle and work very hard to make sure that you don’t face it. Work hard, efficient, smart and never give up.
    Step 6: What if your fear cannot be that easily solved or it’s deeper and you are looking for a solution to get rid of it? Then, I suggest to take a longer journey by first learning yourself, controlling your fears and work on your mindset. Everything that we think of, afraid of, have feelings for come from our minds. You’ve got to work on your mindset to change that feeling to be able to activate your inner power against your fear. Nobody knows what happened to you and you are the only one who can help you to get out of the fear circle. Positive thinking, straight posture, smile is already 50% of the work done. Be fearless, go against your fears and if they put you against the wall…break that damn wall!

    In this Episode, you will:

    Learn to accept the fears
    Hear a few stories of mine on how I overcame the fears or covered them
    Get my advice on how to analyse your fears as tests
    Receive tips and advice from me on how to turn your fears into your benefit
    Hear 6 listed steps that you can take with your and save in notes
    And finally, be reminded that anything is possible J

  • Ep. 002 Guilt is your Enemy
    “No amount of guilt can change the past. No amount of worry can change the future.” – Unknown

    Guilt is the number one enemy that prevents you from acting. In a nutshell, it is a terrible feeling that you feel after you have or have not done a certain action that violates with your internal beliefs and values. What’s very important to outline is that guilt is not just a sad feeling but it is what prevents you from actioning and it can turn into a violation of your well-being too. Just like any other feeling, guilt comes in different forms and one of the most dangerous of them all is self-eating or self-destruction, which prevents you from accomplishing what you are going after.

    I want to share this episode with you to inspire, motivate and remind you that guilt is a self-blocker that controls your mind, emotions and prevents you from actioning towards either achieving what you are after or from fixing what you didn’t intend to do. You are the ruler, you are the creator, you are the only who decides what will be next.

    Stay guilt free, action, fix anything that needs to be fixed, breakthrough the guilt and you will be amazed where you end up.

    Learn what is guilt and how it impacts your life
    Get to know 3 types of guilt: Unnecessary guilt, “I promise” guilt, and Habitual guilt
