At the end of the summer I decided to learn to drive a car, then buy a car and drive it from Lithuania to Italy. All of it happened in the period of one month.

Here's a story on how it all went.

This episode is a supportive story to my youtube video where I documented bits of my travel.

Well, hey!

It's been a minute.

This episode is a bit different than usual. After a long break I kick things off by sharing one of my recent bizarre stories of getting kind-of-lost in the woods during a storm at night. I also share about my feels and a quick update on things in general.

The name of this episode came to life right before getting lost.

That whole day felt unusually heavy & weird for me and exploring the forest felt particularly creepy. As we decided to move back towards the car (at that time not knowingly what's waiting ahead of us) we were playing a game, creating a fictional story about our lives in the present moment. As my turn came, I had to somehow metaphorically summarise my feelings of that particular moment in words and I said Maze of Shadows. Little did I know that these words will kind of manifest as my reality very soon.

You're invited to tune in and enjoy the ride.

Our times are changing.

Global pandemic showed the world how technology and Internet can really transform our lives.

As we're entering a New Paradigm, we are provided with opportunities to regain our sovereignty of our time, finances, health and happiness.

Almost every profession, every career can be turned into a freelancing job, which will allow us to make our own choices.

Of course it comes with its own challenges and it requires courage to believe in infinite possibilities. It requires strong attunement to your own inner compass, in order to keep your authenticity in check and create your own reality as smoothly and as magically as possible.

In my new podcast episode I share my take on Intuitive Freelancing. I talk about what it is, I bust some myths and I share some practical tips so you can create your own rules and feel encouraged and supported on your way to freedom.

Enjoy!

Do you have a love hate relationship with your creative side of identity? As time passes by, you find yourself riddled by regrets of not being more courageous, not starting earlier, not following your desire?

Do you struggle to identify as an artist even though deep in your heart you always felt it, you always dreamed it, but your environment made it almost impossible and the FEAR OF FAILURE is paralysing you?

There's a good chance you are a SHADOW ARTIST. Yep. We exist. And discovering this concept truly shifted my perception on my relationship with creativity.

Every act in life is creative by default. We are creators, we are artists, but we might be suppressing that side of ourselves and hurting our inner creative force, our inner child.

If you FEEL A strong resonance in you heart centre after reading this, you might want to listen to my new podcast episode, where I share my complicated journey in navigating my shadow artist part of identity, my struggles and traumas.

I also share 10 signs of a SHADOW ARTIST, so you can do a lil self audit and see whether it's something you identify with and whether it's time to show some extra love and care to that beautiful genius part of you.

YES!

Summer is already here and its MAGIC is STRONG.

All I want to do is celebrate this wonderful time, relax in the sun, eat fresh berries and fruit and finally allow myself time to relax. But it’s not so easy YET.

It might not be super easy for many of us as past six months went by at the speed of the lightning, we might still be in the momentum of business, monkey mind and overwhelm.

LUCKILY, Summer Solstice is almost here with an ever increasing energetic frequency, light and power.

We have entered a powerful New Moon with Solar Eclipse and as we are getting closer to the Summer Solstice, cosmic energy is only gaining fast and truly powerful momentum, creating A MAGICAL PORTAL.

A PORTAL to reflect, future vision, meditate, recalibrate and really access and compare our energetic levels, our goals and visions that we’ve set out for ourselves at the beginning of 2021. It’s time to reflect and fine tune our intentions and strategies in our personal and professional lives. In our spirit and in our grounded beingness.

The Summer Solstice might be the most pivotal moment for each of us individually and for our collective consciousness and societal movements.

-

It’s time to really feel and become clear on WHAT IS OUR MASTERY? Why did we choose to come here at this time to help the EARTH & to help HUMANITY?

-

In my new podcast episode I talk about simple ways that can help you to have a MAGICAL SUMMER.

-

I have also created a beautiful guidebook with summer rituals/ recipes/ reflective questions, that shall help you access your magic within and experience the most beautiful summer as well as prepare for the paradigm shifting upcoming months.

ENJOY!

It might have been Carl Jung that popularised shadow work, but ancient cultures all over the world have been exploring this dimension as well. It’s an old tradition, which maybe possibly, had been lost and found again.

Our shadow self is everything that we keep deep in our unconscious mind. Every part of us that we disowned, but that is, in fact, present and surfacing in various complex situations. Our shadow side is everything that our society perceives as negative, everything that we have been discouraged to be or do by our families and close environment. Deep parts of ourselves we had to hide in order to fit in. To name a few:

• Pain
• Shame
• Jealousy
• Our inner child, childhood wounding
• Grief
• Fear
• Mediocracy
• Laziness
• Lack of control
• Limiting beliefs
• Depression
• Rage, resistance, anger
• Loneliness

But also, as we cut ourselves off from these feelings we cut ourselves off from our greatness. As often our shadow side had been present in our lives in order to protect us or to infuse wisdom into our lives.

Also it’s important to mention that we don’t only suppress our challenging parts, but our brilliance, our bigness, our light. As often we’re told to minimise or silence ourselves so others feel comfortable around us.

Our biological survival system is programmed to stay away from pain in order to, well, survive! Our shadows are painful! We instinctively run away from them at all costs.

Society’s collective rejection of shadow traits is highly contributing to the rejection of the being that contains these traits. Basically, societal norms reject us for who we truly are. Hence the capitalism and constant NEED for more, so we can "fix" ourselves...

Without acceptance and community, we are not supported, not cared for, weak and vulnerable. To our instinctual psyche it's as if we are throwing ourselves into the arms of Death.

That is why belonging is so crucial to us. That is why we suppress our shadows. And it’s painful because we are collectively and individually denying ourselves and each other. We tend to portray a one-sided image of our beauty and "goodness". Especially in our day and age where social media made it easier than ever before!

We’ve all been there at some point of our lives.

Most likely we keep on returning to this state cyclically, just like with any other energy in our lives.

Creative energy needs to be acknowledged just as any other energy cycle, which needs time to rest, recharge, reborn and grow.

Creative block can surface for many various reasons.

Sometimes we are just low on energy. Sometimes we might be stuck in our old thought patterns.

I recorded a new podcast episode: 9 RITUALS TO OVERCOME YOUR CREATIVE BLOCK , where I share my GO-TO rituals, that help me to reconnect with my creativity and live in balance.

I have also prepared a magical ENCHANTED EMPOWERED STATE GUIDEBOOK as a supportive ally to help you out in your process. (Check it out, it’s a good one!)

• Easily inclined to compare yourself to others?
• Struggling with indecision and fear around making decisions and being "wrong"?
• Worrying about taking the "wrong" path and realising it too late?
• Super focused on how others perceive you and are afraid to be seen as the "real you"?
• Desperately trying to do things that "others" do, but that clearly doesn't feel right for you?

Imposter Syndrome is the real deal and it sucks.

An estimated 70% of population experience it and you might be one of them.

I sure am familiar with it!

I first got truly upset and then angry, realising that such "invisible force" is in charge of many situations in my life. AND luckily, as much as my anger can be a tough one to deal with IRL, it can also work as a beautiful energetic BOOST to banish all the devils that cross my path.

I recorded a podcast episode on Imposter Syndrome, diving in a little deeper, trying to uncover it and figuring out what could be the potential first steps to take in order to address it in our lives.

I feel that this topic is immense and my observations are only scratching the surface of the real deal.

To truly address the Imposter Syndrome I would look into Shadow Work and maybe even a professional therapist or a healer if it blocks your most beautiful genius and stops you from showing up with your wonderful gifts that you most definitely have!
