In one of my sessions with a client, she asked me how I manage to see things in such a positive way. It was a question she threw out "by the way," but for me, it was something really big—it reflected how far I had come. You have to understand that I was always one of those people who saw the glass half empty, thinking that if something could go wrong, it would go wrong for me. I had a pretty victim-like mindset, always feeling like "life is happening to me" and that things always go wrong for me. So, to reach a point where someone else asks me how I manage to see things positively—that’s a huge deal for me.

Age 27 was one of the hardest years of my life. I was in a really low place, feeling completely lost—both in my career and in my relationships. On a friend's recommendation, I read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma, and that book, without exaggeration, changed my life. I suddenly realized that life isn’t just happening to me, that I have far more control and responsibility than I thought, and that I get to choose how I respond to things. If I’m not happy with where my life is right now, it’s entirely within my power to change it. Because of that book, I decided I wanted to start coaching. After years of psychological therapy, I realized I wanted to try a different approach—something more active, something that puts more responsibility in my hands. I remember one session where I came to my coach feeling really low on energy, and by the end of our meeting, I felt like someone had just refilled my sails. While waiting for the elevator, I thought to myself, How amazing is it that her job is to make people feel exactly the way I feel right now? That must be so fulfilling. And that’s when I realized—I wanted to learn how to be a Life Coach myself.

For the past eight years, I’ve been on an intense journey of personal growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone, taking responsibility for my life—it completely transformed the way I see the world and significantly strengthened my confidence because I understood that it’s up to me. And there is nothing more empowering than that. For the past five years, I’ve been working in this field, guiding women to live the lives they want and deserve. My specialty is helping women set healthy boundaries in relationships and build self-confidence—because those are the two areas where I went through the biggest transformation myself. I went from being a people-pleaser to a woman who knows how to set boundaries and express herself authentically.

At 29, I made a career change (after originally studying communications). At 35, I moved to New York alone (after dreaming about it for 10 years). And it was only in my late 20s and early 30s that I truly learned how to set boundaries and connect with myself. There is no such thing as too late to do this, and I have nothing in me that you don’t have in you. There is no age limit for chasing dreams, for making changes, or for achieving the things we want for ourselves.
