Instead of setting rigid goals or chasing outcomes, I opened myself to a single question: “What is possible out there?” And the results? Mind-blowing. Every time I thought, “This is it. This is the most I could wish...

Hey, On a recent call, I spoke with John (let’s call him that). John spent most of his life in the military, where life was simple—structured. He knew exactly when to get up, what to eat, what to do, and when to go to bed. Someone else decided what was best for him, every single day. But now, out of the military and free to do whatever he wants, he feels lost. So he came to me with a request: “I need a system I can rely on—something that will catch me when life gets messy.” It’s a common...

I opened my eyes. It was still dark outside. A glimpse on my phone - 4:13… Ah, that is far from waking up. I turned around wanting to sleep. But my mind was racing. One thought after another, that seemed like a freeway with high traffic that you simply cannot stop. I tired to breath. I tried to relax. Nothing helped. Till I started meditating. Later I woke up from my alarm at 7:30. Luckily, I have years of meditation practice. So at night I knew what to do, what would work for me. But what if...

Hey Reader, Burnout. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, but when you’re in it, it feels like everything comes crashing down. Burnout isn’t just being tired—it’s a state of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion. When I hit burnout recently, I knew I had to act fast. Depending on the level of burnout, your systems, and how well you know what serves you, recovery can take anywhere from a week to a few months. Thankfully, I’ve spent years learning what works for me. After a week of...

Hey, I’ll admit it—I hit a wall. The kind of wall where everything feels heavy, your head pounds constantly, and you find yourself saying “No, this isn’t possible” to almost everything. Normally, I’m a “Yes, let’s do it!” kind of person. But not this time. I was burnt out. It all started with excruciating headaches, plummeting productivity, and a creeping sense of overwhelm. That’s when I knew I had to act. I turned to my business partner and said, “I need a vacation.” And then, serendipity...

Hey Reader, Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll try to get that done"? It sounds harmless, even noble—like you’re giving it your best shot. But here’s the truth: trying keeps you stuck. It creates a backdoor for doubt and hesitation. When you say I’ll try, you’re signaling to your brain that there’s a chance of failure. And guess what? That subtle doubt zaps your energy before you’ve even begun. Instead of committing fully, you’re already halfway out the door. And that mental...

— You know what I value in him? — What? — I asked my business partner as we were having a conversation about a possible new hire. — He knows what he can do, and he is upfront saying “No” when something is outside of his expertise. This led me think about my work. I am in my 7th year of being an energy coach. And it may seem I should know it all by now. But I don’t. I am not a relationship coach when it comes to dealing with your emotional energy that is being drained by unresolved issues with...

Just recently I was looking back at my university years and was wondering: How the h*ll did I manage all that? I was a full-time student, had two jobs, was an organizer of numerous international and local youth events. By the time I turned 21 I had visited 16 countries. And somehow in between all that I managed to have fun, the one that university students are supposed to have at that age. Well, it wasn’t just a random nostalgia. I was wondering, whether it would ever be possible to bring...

— I cannot do that, - she called me with tears. — Hold on. Let me come over, - I said.— No, just do what you need to. We are going to loose time, - she tried to push me back. — Let me come and we will figure everything out, - I pushed through. I lost only 15 min to get to her. But there I was. For her. Near her. We fixed her challenges and did everything we needed to do then. But what she got was not a fix for her problems. She had a person, giving her a feeling, she is backed up. Later on...
