All these reels and aim for perfection make me tired. What about some impulsive behind the scenes look where all that happened was a real moment captured in time?
Moments never repeat despite often forcing ourselves in repeating the memory of it so through the emotions that come in we can re-live it. Why? Isn’t it now the best moment? Or the one always leading to a better one?
We’re so conditioned in this human form. It’s fun and incredibly interesting, but we get so trapped, serving the material, longing for the freedom of our spirit, enjoying the ride but also excited to finally be “there”.
Where is that “there”? Who is with you? How does it feel? Does it have an aroma? Is it bright? What are you up to?
Many questions, many feelings, many desires and all you have to do is trust - do what lights you up and trust the universal order.
But what if you’re impatient? What if you live a double life - one with eyes open and one when they close? Have you felt like a foreigner in your own life and body?
My thought goes on and on… I keep writhing everywhere, observing everything, learning how to do life, love, art. Constantly upgrading even if I fall two steps behind.

Workshop Content for Non-content Creators and Highlights...
Here we are, after another workshop. Our busy digital life and desire to somehow get to do what we love and care about leads us to content creation despite the fact we like it to not.
Don’t worry, I’m here for you!
So many professionals and service providers literally “need” to create content for their business, but might not have the technical tools or the budges to hire someone who can do it for them. This is the exact reason I decided to create this workshop to help them and make it easier. Content is not scary and it doen’t necessarily has to be perfectly polished to seat with. What is important is to market your business, be “out there” on social and show what you’re about.
Personal connection is more important than the most perfect photo or video, because your clients will connect with you first and then the product/business. This is especially important for small businesses. Once you got it going and with practice you’ll see how easier it hets ever time to create and publish the content. You can literally make every little this a reason to post and connect with your audience.
Don’t wait until things are perfect or you feel ready - this day will never come. Start now, start as you are, start scared - it’s ok, we’re all on the same boat even if we might upgrade to better seats.
Here is a little behind the scenes from the workshops.
If you have any questions or would like to boo your spot - send me message.
The Love you constantly give out is not going to fill you in
How many times have you given all of your love to anyone else but yourself? How often do you fool yourself that if you show how deep and carrying your love is same will come back to you and fill you? Which person you usually put first - your child, your spouse, your family, etc. ?
Don’t get me wrong - giving love is the best you can do. And for sure the love and kindness you give out will come back to you in some way, share or form. But what you’re looking for outside of yourself will never complete you, will never make you feel the way you’re longing so desperately at times to feel.
There are different kinds of love, although the core feeling is the same. What we miss to acknowledge many times in our lives, especially when we’re young or unexperienced, is that the love we want is only possible to be received from someone or something outside of us. The love that we want has never been and will never be anywhere else but inside of our own Self.
The true ability to love and care about others is first reflected on the ability to love yourself. The way you treat yourself is crucial. We tent to give more than we actually have, emptying our own cup completely dry, giving to those we love from desperation and lack rather than abundance and fulfilment. What happens then? - we need up with a burn out, illness, relationship collapse and satisfaction. We say we did everything for them, we did everything they wanted, but what did we do for ourselves, what did you did for you?
How many times you neglected your own needs to please someone else, even if it’s your own child, to then receive unappreciation that made you feel even emptier? It’s hard to say no and ignore the needs of your loved ones, but you cannot give what you don’t have already. If you try to, and we all have done it, you do both party a disservice - you end up lacking value for them and drying out inside. A so called ‘act of love’ turns into a demonstration of toxic trades, patterns and behaviours.
Even on the plane they say “put your own oxygen mask first” - you can’t help outers if you don’t take care of yourself First. This is not a selfish act, but a necessity. It’s not something to be ashamed about, rather the contrary - showing act of self care is the way to teach your children and loved ones the importance and benefits of self-care, value and potential there is in the act.
So next time you feel tired, want to spent time with yourself, have a desire to nurture yourself in any way - do it! Do it for you, for your inner child and that will reflect on your current relationships. Your children will be happier to spent time with self-fulfiller parent, who let them drink from their overflowing cup.
You deserve it by birth right.
