Episode Highlights:

• Burnout as a Wake-Up Call: Karolina shares how she didn’t even realize she was crying at her desk — a powerful sign of disconnection from herself.
• The Trap of 'Doing It All': Raised to believe that being good meant being available, Karolina wore exhaustion like a badge of honor — until her body said no.
• Back to Basics: Her healing started not with big gestures, but with asking herself, “What do I need right now?”
• The Power of Tiny Moments: A cup of tea without a phone, a walk under blooming roses, or listening to birds — these became her medicine.
• Journaling with a Twist: She replaced traditional gratitude practices with “What went well today — and why?”
• One-Size-Doesn’t-Fit-All: From introvert to extrovert, self-care must be personalized — not based on what influencers preach.
• Practical Tip: Add small self-care tasks (like a walk or tea break) to your to-do list. Your brain treats it as a win — and your body gets a moment of peace.

Powerful Quotes:

“You don’t have to earn rest — you deserve it.”

“Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s how we come home to ourselves.”

“Ask yourself: What do I need right now? — and trust that even the smallest answer is worth listening to.”

● Jenny's 25-year evolution from knowing she was "meant to be a healer" to finally taking the leap from draining freelance work to her aligned coaching practice, proving it's never too late to honor your calling.

● The transformative moment when Jenny realized coaching was her path: "I could feel it in my body...on some level it was like I'm learning new things, on another level, it's like I've always known this."

● Jenny teaches women to develop "soul alignment" through mindfulness and embodiment, helping them bring consciousness down into their bodies to access their intuitive knowing.

● The critical importance of aligning your conscious mind ("This is so great, this is what I want to do") with your unconscious mind (which may be saying "No, no, no, you can't achieve that").

● A powerful message: "Stop doubting yourself, stop wasting so much time. You're a spiritual being having an experience in a physical body and a powerful creator. Step into that difference—you've got this."

● The simple yet profound first step - getting crystal clear on your vision and your "why," which often requires releasing blocks that have been limiting your dreams.

● The three key elements are permission (allowing yourself to want what you truly desire), Parts (understanding all aspects of yourself), and Purpose (living from your authentic core).
