Wow, looking back at 2022, it truly was a challenging year. Both professionally and personally, I faced numerous hurdles, and the loss of my beloved companions, Bruno and Lea, brought many tears. This year was marked by goodbyes and the lingering uncertainty of post-COVID life. The world may appear to be back to 'normal,' but what even is 'normal' in this new reality?
With a pandemic, global tensions, and rising inflation, we're only scratching the surface of the complexities we've had to navigate. So, how do we find stability on such shaky ground? How can we nurture and safeguard our mental well-being amidst these unpredictable times? It's a journey to discover our footing, and I'm committed to being open, honest, and authentic about life's intricacies with you.
This episode isn't about setting new year's resolutions, but rather about embracing yourself wherever you are on your journey. Talk to yourself with the kindness you'd offer your dearest friend. You might not be exactly where you wish to be, but I assure you that you're further along than you think. So, here's to refraining from new year's resolutions and instead, accepting ourselves and extending kindness. Let's support our friends, families, and neighbors, while intentionally making time for rest in 2023.
As mothers and women, we often push ourselves to the brink, so my encouragement for 2023 is to slow down and be present. Life is meant to be savored. I can't wait to share more insights and wisdom with you. Thank you for being here, supporting us creative souls. Wherever you are in the world, I wish you a happy new year – sretna nova godina! Don't forget to reach out on my Instagram @ivanastrbacalfonso or join my Facebook group (Ivana's Village). Let's connect and inspire each other, because we don't have to figure it all out on our own.
Here's to more peace, love, unity, and laughter. Pozdrav svima, zivjeli! XX Ivana"
WOW godina koja je bila 2022. bila je prava jebačinaBila sam izazovana profesionalno i osobno i izgubila sam svoja dva dragocjena psa, Bruna i Leu. Puno sam suza prolivela ove godine, puno oproštaja i IZNEVERENJA kovida, sve se vratilo u "normalu", ali ništa nije normalno nakon covida. Znam da Božić i blagdani mogu biti nezgodni i izazovni za snalaženje u svim vanjskim pritiscima svijeta, do sada smo imali inflaciju pandemijskog rata i to je samo vrh ledenog brijega. Kako pronaći stabilnost na nestabilnom tlu? Kako se brinemo i održavamo svoje mentalno zdravlje u tako nepredvidivim vremenima? Svi mi samo pokušavamo pronaći svoje uporište i uvijek nastojim biti otvorena, iskrena i autentičana s vama o svim složenostima života. Ova epizoda nije o novogodišnjim odlukama, već više o ZAGRLJAJU sebe gdje god bili! Razgovarajte sa samim sobom kao da ste sami sebi najbolji prijatelj, možda niste tamo gdje želite biti, ali jamčim vam da ste puno ispred nego što mislite. Toliko toga se događa iza kulisa, a ja možda istražujem nekoliko različitih opcija za ovaj podcast :) Zato navijajte za NEMOJTE novogodišnjih odluka da se sastajemo gdje jesmo i da budemo LJUBAZNI, podržavamo svog prijatelja, svoju obitelj, vašeg susjeda i namjerno odmor u 2023! Kao mame i žene doista možemo izgorjeti pa vas, ako išta u 2023., potičem da usporite i budete prisutni. Život je stvoren da se u njemu uživa, jedva čekam da s tobom podijelim još učenja i podučavanja :) Hvala vam što ste ovdje što podržavate nas kreativce, gdje god bili u svijetu SRETNA NOVA GODINA ne zaboravite napisati i javi se na moj insta @ivanastrbacalfonso ili se pridruži mojoj Facebook grupi (Ivana's Village) povežimo se i inspirirajmo jedni druge, ne moramo sve sami smisliti!
