Hi, I’m Irina!
Hi, my name is Irina, I’m glad to have you here!
I love to reconnect people with their sense of joy and empower them to live life fully.
Have you ever felt there’s a superstar trapped inside you, feeling on top of the world, vibrant and full of energy, who goes out there and achieves amazing things?
But perhaps you’ve gone through phases where you feel unmotivated, emotionally drained or simply hating your alarm clock and you just can’t be bothered to do anything.
I have (more than once!) and it can be really frustrating.
That’s the main reason why I started this blog.
I have gone through phases where I felt like my life had lost meaning and purpose. I’ve felt confused and lost, without a clear sense of direction and no fulfilment. I have felt hopeless many times. I’ve been on the verge of giving up.
Anxiety. Sleepless nights. Seeing no way out. Total despair.
Huge fears standing between myself & my dreams.
Had my share of struggles. Internal conflicts. And ‘dark’ nights of the soul.
I’ve experienced – perhaps just like you – the ups and downs, highs and lows of life.
And I came to understand than in those moments it’s very useful to find a way to empower yourself, pick yourself up and brush yourself off.
My passion is to help you rediscover your joy, connect you to your greatness and remind you of WHO you really are – so you can live life fully and live the life you love.
So I started this blog with the purpose to share some valuable lessons, tips and wisdom that resulted out of my own life experiences so far.
Yes – I have had mentors, coaches, read tons of books and attended loads of personal development seminars.
But ultimately, on this blog I am only going to share with you lessons and inspiration that are derived from my own understanding of the world, revelations and inner soul knowing.
No “pure theory” from the books.
Because it is my belief that authentic knowledge can only emerge from emotions and experiences that you have lived – not from other people’s opinions about life.
And I encourage you to form your own opinions – after reading any of my blog articles.
If you find an idea that you resonate with, you can reflect upon it and put it through your own filter. See if it applies to you.
I am not here to tell you anything new – I am simply here to remind you of what you already know and is perhaps buried deep down inside of you, so you have forgotten.
And perhaps you will resonate with some tips. Perhaps you won’t.
However…
If you do find an idea that you’d like to put into practice, try it out and see if it’s a good fit for you.
Because what’s missing in this world is not extra information. We’ve got enough of that. What’s missing is the real, authentic experience.
A lot of people say: “I know that in theory. The hard part is putting it into practice”.
So I challenge you. If you like an idea, apply it and see where it takes you – as your own little experiment.
In the meantime, I’ll give you a sneak peek of my vision for this world and what we could all contribute to creating.
So let me share with you what I truly believe in…
My personal manifesto
I believe in a world where we transcend our limitations
Where we go beyond what we think is possible for ourselves
Where we step into our inner power and we speak our truth
Not because we want to look good in other people’s eyes
But because we are so empowered, so filled up with energy, inspiration and creativity
that we have to share and give to others out of our reservoir which is already full.
I believe in a world where people go beyond their fears and are not afraid to step into their greatness…
And show WHO they really are.
I believe in a world where we all have the power to express what we feel for each other, without being ashamed or embarrassed.
I believe in a world where people live life on their own terms, without minding what others think about them.
And yes – you might still have that inner critic voice inside of you
You might still hear it from time to time
But you no longer identify with it
You realise that’s not who you really are.
I believe in a world where we take action inspired from our heart not from our mind
Where our thoughts are inspired by love, not by fear.
I believe in a world where we can be whoever we want to be…
Where we allow ourselves to fly to the highest peaks and we never look back
And when we get there, we just enjoy the view, celebrate & be grateful.
I believe in a world where we recognize the amazing gift that we all have: the gift of life.
I believe in a world where we are aware of the unstoppable force of nature that we are
I believe in a world where we live in harmony and peace with other people
I believe in a world where we have respect for every single living being, every single plant and tree
I believe in a world where we have no need to judge or criticize others
Because that would mean we’d judge or criticize ourselves.
I believe in a world where we take responsibility for everything that we feel
For everything that happens to us
For all situations in our life
Because we have created them
And we have chosen to experience them because we have something to learn from them.
I believe in a world where we realise that things don’t happen to us, but we make them happen
Because we choose everything that’s ever happened to us.
I believe in a world where we are aware
Where we are love
Where we shine our light onto others
Where we experience the highest feelings that we are capable of
I believe in a world where we’re using our powers for the highest good
For the benefit of others
Where we’re putting our lives into servicing others
Where we give to ourselves, without ignoring our needs and feelings…
And where we are FREE.
I believe in a world where we are free to share our message
Free to express what we feel
Free to step into our power
Free to go out there & do the things we want to do
Free to love
Free to live
Free to be with whoever we want to be
Free to speak about whatever we want to speak about
Free to share whatever we want to share about
Free to just… BE
Who we really are.
That’s what I believe in. And that’s how I am here to contribute.
Now you might be wondering what’s my background? And what do I do for a living?
I’m personally not very fond of “labels” such as entrepreneur, coach or mentor. I do not identify myself with those roles and I find them pretty limiting.
You and I are so much more than that.
I am simply a human being on a mission to contribute, willing to be a source of love, joy and empowerment for those around her – as much as I can.
I’m here to share from my own experience and serve to the best of my ability.
But I know the media, event organisers and PR people love bios (and it makes their jobs a lot easier too!), so you can find out more about my professional background below – it’s copied here if you want to learn more.

Her team of transformation experts and personal trainers has helped melt over 2,000 kg of fat in just a few months from the launch, which picked up even more media attention.
Now she is passionate to help people reconnect to their sense of joy and empower them to live life fully.
