I grew up in post-Soviet Russia, where we had to work hard just to get by — and sometimes we didn’t. Those early experiences taught me the value of persistence, even in difficult circumstances. I later pursued three degrees — film direction, scriptwriting, and psychology — building a successful career in the film and advertising industry. Despite climbing to the top, I struggled with perfectionism, and procrastination, much like many of my clients.

Through therapy, coaching, and personal growth, I transformed my mindset and learned to act despite my doubts and worries. Today, I live in a beautiful home in Georgia, fully embracing life with my family. My journey is proof that real change happens when we commit to action, even when our minds resist it.
