Self-appreciation isn’t exactly an ambitious empath’s cup of tea 🫖

So often, we scan for what’s wrong with us.
Where we failed.
What needs fixing.

We rarely pause to acknowledge ourselves for daring — for trying, showing up, stretching, and caring as deeply as we do.

This is an emotional self-relational pattern.
And it can be softened.

It begins by building a practice of self-appreciation — not to inflate the ego, but to meet yourself with honesty, warmth, and respect.

Even one moment of appreciation changes the relationship within. 💛

I am giving up ideal version of myself!
I divorce her!

For years I believed I had to be a woman that never doubts, never fears, or shakes in her boots. A woman who always shows up wise, calm, composed, and endlessly capable.

I learned that version of “ safety” in childhood when being messy, imperfect or honest didn’t feel allowed.

So I became perfect instead.

But in recent coaching session I finally saw the truth. This ideal version was holding me back from my joy, and leadership in my work.

And this is what so many ambitious empaths silently struggle with it. We hold ourselves to impossible standards because perfection felt like the only safe place to stand.

We build a fantasy self we believe we must become to feel safe, loved and accepted.

But this version only drains our joy, our voice, and our self-expression.

So the invitation is:

Ask yourself if you are measuring yourself against this ideal version.

What would change in your life if you divorced it?

Our power lives in unconditional acceptance of our humanity-not our perfection!

You deserve to experience self just as you are! Take your power back!

New Year ✨
How are you stepping into this new dawn of light?

Last night I found myself reflecting on how deeply my past has rippled through my life.
How easily I still slip into conditioned ways of being.

It’s like dreaming…
Waking up just enough to realize you’re dreaming—
only to fall back asleep again.
Back into autopilot.
Away from mindful choice and wholehearted living.

This year, my intention is simple:

To bring joy into my daily life for no good reason at all! This is my brain hack to blowing out old circuits.

Sounds ambitious lol 😂? But, it’s not. This time:

I don’t need to succeed.
I don’t need to become more.
I don’t need to rise into some ideal version of myself.
I don’t need to demand from myself to feel joy with everything I do.

Instead, I’m choosing to practice life
as if fireworks 🎆 are happening
in the smallest moments, even for a second when life is lifing.

And I’m choosing joy in the practice—
including the mess-ups,
the tenderness,
and my very human moments.

What are you choosing to do differently this year?

This Christmas 🎄
be bold, be playful, be a little naughty, my ambitious empaths 👿✨

Joy doesn’t come from being perfect.
It comes from letting yourself unleash 😌

So go ahead…
taste your freedom,
laugh louder,
feel deeper,
and step into the New Year confident, joyful, and fully expressed 💃✨

Be the leader you were born to be!

Sending you warm hugs 🤗 my incredible ambitious empaths from Serbia ❤️.

I realized at airport check-in that I forgot my laptop and bam… in that moment I felt instant drop in the stomach. You know the feeling.

If you’re a high-functioning empath, you get this:
You don’t panic outwardly. You go inward.

While waiting to board (about 45 mins), the usual stuff showed up:
💭 Disappointment
💭 Worry
💭 That inner pressure to be better, more careful, less human.

In the past, this would’ve been brutal:
Body shaking, shame creeping in, inner voice screaming, “How could you do this?”😡

This time?
I didn’t abandon myself.
I stayed with myself.
I got on the plane calm.
I figured things out when I arrived.
Not perfect — but steady. ✅

Self-trust isn’t about never messing up.
It’s about not turning against yourself when you do❤️.

When your relationship with yourself is strong,
you become the one who can handle life — even when it doesn’t go according to plan.

✨ Try this: Take one slow, deep breath right now.
Notice — does your body soften even 1% when you imagine not turning against yourself?

Ambitious empaths crave freedom, fun, and play — it’s in our bones.

But somewhere in childhood, many of us learned to abandon that playful, sparkly part of ourselves just to feel safe… just to feel loved.

We grew up fast.
We became “adults.”
And little by little, we forgot the part of us that once ran wild with curiosity and joy.

When you reconnect with your inner child, that lost part of you starts to come back online — slowly, softly, naturally.

And suddenly… there you are again.
More you than you’ve been in years.
Connected. Joyful. Free in your self-expression.

That’s the return home. ✨

When I got married I married the highest version of myself before I married my partner.

This started with loving myself fully, unapologetically and fearlessly.

It’s loving the parts that were once rejected by others and myself.

It’s learning to have compassion and kindness towards broken, unloved and dejected aspects of self.

It’s opening up my heart to part of myself that I closed off.

Like the parts that I once learned as I child to judge, shame, and punish for saying no, for wanting to explore, for standing for myself, for enjoying pleasure too much, for thinking differently, for being different, for speaking my truth, for not sharing majorities opinions, for seeing and feeling different, for wanting more, for not wanting to settle for less…

Those are the parts that we need to embrace and marry before we marry anyone else. Because those parts that were once suppressed is our power, our strength and our foundation!
❤️

What are you leaving behind in 2024?

Happy New Year everyone! Let's make 2025 our best year yet. This year is not just about setting intentions—it’s about releasing what no longer serves us. Here are three things I’m letting go of in 2024:

1️⃣ Seeking validation: My worth doesn’t need external proof. I’m stepping into authenticity, knowing my unique gifts are enough.

2️⃣ Losing trust when things don’t go as planned: Challenges aren’t failures; they’re opportunities for growth. Trust is my anchor for the unexpected.

3️⃣ Feeling separate from God: Releasing this belief brings me closer to connection, wholeness, and peace.

Letting go is an act of self-love—and it’s how we make space for the life we’re ready to create. 💫

What are you releasing as we step into 2025? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear your reflections.

Many leaders focus outward—on their teams, goals, and challenges—but true leadership strength begins inward. 🌟

When you take the time to deepen your self-awareness, you unlock the ability to lead with clarity, empathy, and resilience.

This isn’t just about being a better leader for your team—it’s about creating sustainable growth and balance for yourself.

Embrace a leadership style rooted in self-connection and watch how it transforms not only your performance but also the culture around you.
