My journey

My journey abroad began when I was 22 and left Slovakia. I was pursuing my Master's degree in Journalism when I decided to go overseas and abandon my dancing career and dreams of becoming a TV presenter.

In the second year of my UNI in Denmark I had to attend an Internship somewhere in the world. I applied in a few countries and from the only application sent to London they called me and accepted me for the three-month Internship. Exciting news, I was going to London! I was supposed to be there for three months and came back to Slovakia but I stayed for 7 years!

While struggling with money I ended up by coincidence working for a Real Estate company. Then, after three failed attempts applying to London's biggest Real Estate Agencies, I was finally hired by one. This was the start of my long and successful career ... only until I realised that this wasn’t for me anymore.

I started to lose my passion and motivation after 5 years and for a while I was scared to give up the lifestyle and success I created for myself in this career. I did not know how to break the cycle and everyday I was tormented with this feeling of inadequacy. I kept asking myself, why I was not happy when I had everything I desired: a successful career which I enjoyed, amazing friends, money, a beautiful flat, family, health and an expensive car. (In London, having a car is a luxury).

However, I could not keep ignoring this burning desire that this was not the life I truly wanted to live. I felt stuck, I did not know what my next steps would be, I did not know what other paths to take, all I knew was that something had to change.
 

"The only way I could find myself again was to leave this job and everything behind."

My colleague recommended a book to me and so I started to read. I needed to find answers. And only later I understood that knowledge is everything.

The Book from Rebecca Campel ‘The light is new black’ was the first book I put my hands on since I was a child and it has literally changed my life. It made me realise that the light inside me is no longer ‘burning’. I slowly started to discover that I could live in a whole different way.

So I quit and things became really uncomfortable.
 

I started over from the beginning.

I was out of work from one day to the next, impoverished, and all I knew was what I didn't want but didn't know what I did want. I set a one-year deadline for myself to figure this out. As a result, I took a year off.

I returned to Slovakia. I didn’t know for how long. All I knew is that I want to be close to my family and take some time off. While in Slovakia, suddenly this idea came to my mind. I had this strong desire to create something unique while using the time I took off.

I organised the biggest Zumba festival in Slovakia.

ZUMBA® FEST SLOVAKIA is a real deal. I am honoured to have it organised with the most creative good friend of mine and together we created the greatest festival in Slovakia which got completely sold out ;) Six months of work got paid off. Check out little sneak peak from the first ZUMBA® FEST SLOVAKIA 2019:

During my 1 year off I also started to blog.

I also wanted to share my thoughts as I go through my life changing journey. I wanted to share all the insights of my journey and perhaps inspire others to follow their right path too.
And then…

I moved to Madrid. I followed my partner there at the time but things got complicated again in our relationship.

So I started to coach myself.

I did some Life Coaching courses while in the worst lockdown in Madrid.

My biggest motivation was to coach myself and then be able to help others. I got my first clients and I quickly understood that this was something I wanted to dedicate my time to.
 

“I find it more satisfying to seek out the positives in others. It’s highly rewarding.”

Yoga is my lifesafer: If I start my day without Yoga it’s like something is missing on that day.

I started with Yoga while in London 7 years ago when I couldn't switch off. I was exhausted to the point that I couldn't relax. So I started to meditate 5 minutes a day. Later I added some relaxing exercises and that resulted in practising yoga every day. It is the best thing I could start doing for myself.

I believe there is no better way to improve mental and physical health. I also find that I am more empathic and understanding. It inspires me to move through life in a more loving way.

Lastly, inspiration is what everybody needs.

I love to get my mind blown away by Marie Forleo, Gary Zukav, Robin Sharma, Lauren Martin, Oprah Winfrey, Rebecca Campbell, Melissa Abrosini, Mel Wells and so many others.
