Last week, we started talking about father figures in our lives. Here I am sharing real letters from real people. They wrote those as a part of therapeutical exercise. Maybe this will inspire you to write yours.

In this episode, we explore the deep and often unnoticed impact the father figure has on our inner development and the choices we make later in life. Even when a father was physically present but emotionally distant or cold, the imprint of that relationship can remain hidden until adulthood. We look at how early experiences with a father shape our self-esteem, sense of safety, and ability to form close relationships. Why do so many women choose partners whose behavior unconsciously mirrors familiar traits of their fathers, even when those choices bring pain? Why do men who grew up with absent or critical fathers often struggle with self-doubt and seek validation through achievement? We’ll talk about how to begin recognizing the influence of the father figure, how to stop living within old patterns, and how to build a new inner foundation. This conversation is for anyone who wants to better understand their inner world and create healthier relationships

What does it actually mean to feel resourced, and how do we find our way back when we’ve drifted far from that place?

In today’s gentle and personal episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite concepts from Russian: “being in your resource.” It’s that grounded, steady inner state that helps you meet life’s chaos without being consumed by it. 

We’ll explore the two kinds of resource:

 Global resource: the big-picture safety nets that hold you

 Local resource: the small, daily rituals that either drain or restore you

I’ll also walk you through a simple mindfulness practice I call “The Alien Technique”, a surprisingly tender way to reconnect with your needs in the middle of your real, messy life.

So if you’ve been running on empty… this one’s for you:)

We talk a lot about “being in your resource”, but what does that actually mean? And why is it that sometimes, even after sleep, rest, or a weekend away, you still feel… empty?

In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of internal resource: not just self-care routines, but your actual capacity to show up in life with presence, joy, and energy.

We’ll talk about:

- why your ambitions and your energy levels might be at war with each other

- how to recognize the subtle signs that your inner tank is running low

- why what we call “rest” often isn’t rest at all

- and how to begin rebuilding your sense of self from the inside out

Make a cup of tea and let’s talk ;)

In this episode, we’re talking about something most of us quietly wrestle with: life transitions.  Why do our 30s, 40s, 50s feel like turning points no one prepared us for?

We’ll talk about:

• What age-related crises really are (spoiler: they’re not a tragedy)

• Why your 30s are full of questions, and your 40s might be the most powerful decade yet

• The crisis of results at 50 (and how to reinvent yourself)

• Why ignoring change leads to burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck

• What to do when you feel like you’re too late 

This is a gentle but honest invitation to stop holding your breath, stop clinging to the past, and start moving toward the version of you that’s ready. Because change isn’t the enemy but staying stuck is.

Some women carry a quiet, lifelong tension in relationships, not because they don’t want closeness, but because somewhere deep inside they learned that love isn’t safe. In this episode, I talk about the Enchanted Princess, a pattern that often forms in childhood when a girl experiences emotional rejection, disconnection, or a lack of consistent support, especially from her father.

As adults, women with this script often find themselves entering relationships where they feel invisible, emotionally muted, or constantly on edge. They may expect abandonment even when nothing suggests it, or they might unconsciously provoke rejection to confirm what they already believe about themselves, that they’re too much, or not enough.

In this episode, we explore the “Heroic Woman” relationship pattern—one where love is earned through struggle, sacrifice, and saving others. Behind her strength, resilience, and endless capacity to hold others together, there’s often a childhood marked by emotional distance from a father figure.

We talk about the origins of this script, how it plays out in adult relationships with unavailable or troubled partners, and why peaceful, healthy love can feel unfamiliar or even boring. You’ll learn:

- Why strong, capable women often feel drawn to partners who need saving

- How this dynamic connects to early emotional experiences with a distant or unavailable father

- The psychological cost of always being the rescuer

- What healing looks like when a woman finally starts choosing herself

This episode is for every woman who’s ever asked:

“Why do I always have to be the strong one?”

and

“What would it look like to live for me, not just for others?”
