    About this Episode

    Have you ever felt trapped in your life? Like... you know you should change, but you just can’t?  In this episode I share with how our brains in a bid for survival amplify the fear of change, often leading to stagnation. 

    If you are an immigrant struggling with cultural disconnect and language barriers I want to take you on a journey of self discovery.  By revisiting our past and acknowledging our growth we can shatter these barriers. 

    You and I, as immigrants we have already mastered the art of adaptation. 

    Let’s leverage this strength, redefine our relationship with fear, embrace change and celebrate our growth.

    5 Steps to Finding Love After Divorce.

    In our heart-to-heart with Karolina, we navigate the tricky waters of dating and the dynamics of relationships in the modern world.

    •  the disappointment that comes with attracting partners who don't match our expectations,
    • the differences between toxic and healthy alpha males,
    • the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energies, 
    • the art of letting go of control in relationships,
    • magic that happens when we allow a partner to take the lead,
    • the importance of stepping back, expressing appreciation, and the subtle nuances of giving and receiving.

    Tune in to hear not only practical advice but also heartwarming stories of love found in unexpected places, and how aligning life visions can create strong, sustainable relationships.

    From PCOS to Self-Love: Anna Lakomy's Inspiring Transformation

    From PCOS to Self-Love: Anna Lakomy's Inspiring Transformation

    Have you ever considered how the stress of your immigrant journey has impacted your health?  Have you ever thought about the connection between your physical health and emotional well being?  This episode with Anna Lakomy will reveal some astonishing insights; she shares her battle with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS) and how it transformed her perspective on health, career, and self-worth.

     Anna's journey is more than a story about a health condition. It's a tale of determination and self-discovery, of the transformative power of adversity. We talk about her fight against her physical symptoms and the traditional medical system, and how this struggle led her to an unexpected revelation about her career success and personal worth.

     The conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore the struggle to balance masculine and feminine energy. We talk about societal pressures, inherited survival instincts and the power of self-compassion. We share insights on healing the inner child and fostering self-love.
     Consider asking yourself these questions:

    • What relationship do I have with myself? 
    • Am I being a good friend to myself or do I keep on criticizing myself? If so why? 
    • Am I feeling safe? 
    • What is creating a sense of safety for me? 
    • Am I safe within me right now? 
    • What do I need right now?

    How to have better self-control with food.

    How to have better self-control with food.

    In this podcast episode, I interview Joanna Zajusz, a clinical hypnotherapist and certified coach who helps people with mindset, emotions, spirituality, and nutrition. We discuss the mindset around overeating and weight loss, challenging beliefs about food, and finding a balance between restriction and indulgence. We also touch on the cultural aspects of food and the challenges faced by immigrants in navigating different food cultures. Joanna emphasizes the importance of using food as medicine and gradually making changes to eating habits. She also discusses the process of overcoming cravings and urges, and how weight loss can become easier over time.

    How to cope with a divorce as an immigrant in America?

    How to cope with a divorce as an immigrant in America?

    Are you an immigrant going through a divorce? Maybe you are already divorced but emotionally and mentally you are still struggling? When a relationship ends, healing can take time. There are things you can do to get through this difficult adjustment. Get some wisdom and learn the tools to manage stress during separation and divorce. 

    SUMMARY:

    1. Get a journal. Here are the questions I suggest you ask yourself when analyzing why you feel the way you feel: What am I thinking about this?;  What am I feeling when I am thinking that?;  What do I do when I feel that feeling?
    2. The Line of Life:  On a clean piece of paper draw a horizontal line.
    • On the left side mark at the beginning of the line write your birthday.
    • On the right side at the end of the line write how long you would like to live.
    • Mark today, your wedding day and your divorce date. 
    • Color the space between these two dates that will represent your marriage. 
    • Answer these questions: How many years have you lived before you became a wife or a  husband?; How many years are left after the divorce is final? ; How do you want to spend the remaining years? What do you want to do? Who do you want to become? What are the feelings you would like to experience on a daily basis? 

    3.  Examine your thoughts about your spouse. Ask these questions: What do you think of him or her?; How do you feel when you think that?; What do you do when you feel that? How do I want to feel when I see him? ( Keep in mind if you feel anger, you are the one suffering, not him.)  If feeling angry examine: Why are you angry? What did he or she do? What do you think he or she should’ve done instead? What wasn't fair? How did he or she disappoint you? What did you make it mean about yourself? How are you angry at yourself? How are you disappointed in yourself?
    4.
    When ready make a list of all the moments you are grateful for that have happened during your marriage.
    5. Write down a list of all of the positive character traits you have developed as a result of the difficulties you faced in your marriage.
    6. Answer these questions about divorce itself: What am I making it mean about me?; What am I making it mean about us as a married couple that is about to be divorced?; What am I making it mean about my life overall?; What am I the most afraid of?; What will I do if that happens?
    7
    . Answer these questions about other people: What are you assuming that other people are thinking about you as you are going through a divorce?; How are they judging you?; What do you think?
    8
    . Possible thoughts to think when creating acceptance and compassion towards your spouse: It didn’t work out but he was trying his best. I can be grateful for that.  It’s hard for him too, I don’t have to make it harder by being mean.  We had a lot of great times, I can always be grateful for that.
    9
    . Possible thoughts to think about yourself to create a sense of self acceptance and self compassion as you are going through this: This is hard but I am trying my best. Sometimes I will have a good day and sometimes I won’t, that’s okay. Thi

    Struggles in a workplace. Immigrant edition.

    Struggles in a workplace. Immigrant edition.


    • Do you feel like you must work really hard because as an immigrant you would lose your job first? 
    • Do you feel like no matter how hard you work, you will never be successful as Americans?
    • When interacting with other employees, do you feel like an outsider? 
    • Are you starting to feel resentful because you feel like others are constantly taking advantage of your kindness? Stealing your great ideas?
    • Do you work with someone you have a hard time standing up to, and that's really frustrating because if you were in your home country, this would have not been a problem?


    If you said YES to any of these questions, please listen to this episode.

    • What are some of the biggest struggles immigrant mothers go through?
    • How we can celebrate ourselves and start living the joyful American Dream?
    • What she has recently celebrated in her own life?

    How to recognize if you have low self value?

    How to recognize if you have low self value?

    Do you ever say to yourself: “Gosh I’m such a loser!”, “Why did I do that? I’m so stupid.”,  “I don’t deserve to be happy.” ? 

    Are you having a hard time saying “no” and standing up to others? Setting boundaries?

    Do you ever compare yourself to others?

    Do you struggle building healthy relationships?

    If you said yes to these questions, you might be suffering from low self value. Low self-value affects our relationships, sense of self-worth, how we navigate life, and how we express ourselves. 

    There are many reasons why this could be happening:

    • unresolved trauma,
    • loneliness,
    • internalized shame,
    • expectations from parents or caregivers,
    • relationship changes like divorce or break up,
    • peer pressure from loved ones or friends. 

    Think you might be suffering from low self-value? Listen to this episode. I share with you many different signs on how to recognize it.
