Antonina, my life’s got divided into BEFORE and AFTER - the time before our sessions and the time after them. I’m incredibly grateful to you for helping me find the balance in my life! You’ve helped me stop judging myself for spending time on my interests, hobbies and friends, instead of dedicating all of my waking hours to work. I no longer feel guilty when I spend 10 hours a week on dancing. I’m simply enjoying my enthusiasm! It wasn't like this before. I’ve become a stronger individual, have learned to say “no” and to never do anything out of guilt. You’ve helped me overcome my irrational fears and see the solutions that I couldn’t see before.

Overall, after these sessions I’ve gained self confidence, learned to value myself and in turn show others that I know my self worth. As a consequence my income has increased, I’ve finally stopped communicating with people whom I’ve always found toxic, and I’ve learned to position myself better, be more confident, stop people-pleasing, say “no” to things I don’t want and speak freely and openly about my wants and needs. After the sessions, decision-making has become much easier for me. Or, I’ve become more sure of my decisions and they have gained more sense and meaning. Also, I feel as If I’ve rediscovered my inner world, which has been neglected and pushed aside for too long, and it turned out to be very interesting. I’ve realized that emotions and impressions often come from within rather than from the outside. Looking back at my life, in comparison to the present, I can see that I used to sacrifice my personal interests, emotions, and relationships for my work. The most curious fact is that, since finding my balance, I work less but earn more! And I’ve finally figured out what kind of work I enjoy the most, and this would not have been possible without the analysis of my inner world.

For those of you who are wondering “should I try…?” Yes, absolutely. The time is always right, as long as there is the need. Three months ago I felt this need, along with my financial and strategic crisis.
- It’s scary.
- What if it won’t work?
- Maybe I can sort it out myself somehow?
- I don’t have money. At all.
- and everything’s bad. No time for this now…
Nevertheless, the desire to change, and not be in the same place a year later, has won. And the message from Antonina saying “I want to coach you” has acted as a catalyst.

Paying in advance stimulates you. Regular sessions give you much needed structure and understanding of the direction in which you’re moving. I found the money and invested it into my well-being. And almost instantly I received three profitable offers. Things have only gone better from there. Work is flourishing, my mind is overflowing with ideas, the right people have started coming my way and good work relations are being built.

This is my second experience of working with Antonina and it’s different. The first one was very intense. I started a new project and earned three times more than planned. This time it’s a smooth ride; it’s about flexibility and the importance of listening to myself. I haven’t launched any new projects, but I’ve created a lot of quality content, have set the direction and allowed myself not to be an achiever. In every session I’ve experienced those enlightening “aha moments”, and yet each time before the session I was in doubt, thinking, “Why am I doing this?” I know why! I’m doing this for the sake of receiving support, for spending quality time on planning and strategizing, as well as simply for talking, complaining, and contemplating. Antonina gives me the instruments and teaches me techniques. I receive professional advice, homework and support. If you’re still doubting “should I try?” I tell you YES, you should.

I wanted to say thank you for helping me work on the situation with my brother; it was so valuable and a great relief. But when I think back on the "most valuable" thing—I learned to spend time on myself and my own needs. I used to give 500% of my energy to others and then end up exhausted and thus struggling to do my work and communicate effectively. I finally realized that self-care comes before caring for others. Now I know how to put myself first without feeling guilty. Surprisingly, that actually improved my relationships with others. I also learned how to deal with my self-critical thoughts so that they're not destructive but provide room for growth.
