You’ll learn how to connect your ideas more naturally and fluently, making your speech and writing more dynamic and engaging.

Confidence doesn’t magically appear overnight, it’s something you build, one step at a time. The truth is, confidence is a skill, and just like any other skill, you can learn it, practice it, and get better at it.

Here are the lyrics of the part we did together:

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse I kept quiet so I could keep you And ain't it funny How you ran to her The second that we called it quits? And ain't it funny How you said you were friends? Now it sure as hell don't look like it You betrayed me And I know that you'll never feel sorry For the way I hurt, yeah You'd talk to her When we were together Loved you at your worst But that didn't matter It took you two weeks To go off and date her Guess you didn't cheat But you're still a traitor

Pronouns in English: I, you, he, she, we, they: It’s one of the first things we learn when starting to study English, but do you know how they are REALLY pronounced?

In this episode, we’ll uncover the real pronunciation of English pronouns in everyday speech, and spoiler alert! It’s probably NOT the way you learned them in English class.

Now with the rise of AI, everything has become FAST. We look for short videos, quick wins, and AI tools that do everything for us. And while that’s amazing in so many ways, it can also make us believe that fluency should be something that’s easy, instant, or effortless.

But here’s the truth: some things still take time, intention, and consistency. And English is one of them!

In this episode, I talk about the five must-have qualities you need to truly master English. Not tools. Not grammar rules. Not hacks. Qualities. The kind that no app or AI can give you.

Because over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed something, not just in my own life and business, but in the lives of my students and the people I work with. It’s becoming harder to stay consistent. Harder to follow through. And easier to expect results without really doing the inner work.

So in this episode, I want to shine a light on what’s actually holding people back from fluency, even when they’re doing “all the right things.” Even when they’re using amazing tools like AI.

If you’re ready to go deeper and get the kind of support where you can bring these 5 qualities to LIFE I’m inviting you to learn more about my membership, Beyond!

In this interview, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Katya, one of my amazing students who started learning English from scratch seven years ago. What’s even more incredible is that she did it all without ever living in an English-speaking country!!

Katya takes us through her journey, from feeling stuck and frustrated to finding the breakthrough that led her to become a leader in our communities. We dive deep into how pronunciation work, especially prosody, not only helped her speak with confidence but also transformed her mindset and life.

In this conversation, Katya shares her challenges, wins, and the powerful role our community played in her success. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of your own learning path, her story will inspire you to keep going and find joy in the process.

I am so honored to share this interview. I dearly love Katya, and I know you will love her too!
