Exploring Relationships and Boundaries with Psychologist Luciana Franicevic**

In this episode, we have the privilege of diving deep into the world of relationships and boundaries with the highly qualified psychologist, Luciana Franicevic. Luciana's expertise in these areas is truly remarkable, and I'm excited to share our insightful conversation with you.

We begin by delving into our personal connection, sharing how Luciana and I first crossed paths, and what inspired her to pursue a career in this field. Our discussion takes us on a journey through various aspects of relationships, covering friendships, romantic connections, and the expectations we often place on ourselves and others.

This two-part conversation left me with a wealth of knowledge and valuable insights, and I'm eager for you to gain as much from it as I did. In Part Two, we tackle questions from our fellow Balkan Sis listeners, making this conversation even more engaging and enlightening.

We also touch upon the topic of our cultural upbringing and the "good girl" conditioning many of us from the Balkans are familiar with. We discuss how our childhood experiences can leave a lasting impact on our adult lives.

Luciana has generously extended an offer to our Balkan Sis listeners, so be sure to visit her website or reach out to her on social media to claim your special gift 🤍. Remember, reaching out for support is a sign of strength, and if you're in Australia, websites like Lifeline and Beyond Blue are excellent resources to start with:

Istraživanje Odnosa i Granica s Psihologinjom Lucianom Franicevic

U ovoj epizodi imamo privilegiju duboko zaroniti u svijet odnosa i granica s visoko kvalificiranom psihologinjom, Lucianom Franicevic. Lucianina stručnost u ovim područjima doista je izvanredna, i s radošću ću podijeliti naš razgovor s vama.

Započinjemo dubinskim razgovorom o našoj osobnoj vezi, dijeleći kako smo se Luciana i ja prvi put susrele i što ju je inspiriralo da se upusti u karijeru u ovoj sferi. Naš razgovor nas vodi na putovanje kroz različite aspekte odnosa, obuhvaćajući prijateljstva, romantične veze i očekivanja koja često postavljamo na sebe i druge.

Ovaj dvodijelni razgovor ostavio me bogatijom znanjem i dragocjenim spoznajama, i veselim se da i vi izvučete jednako koliko sam i ja. U drugom dijelu razgovaramo o pitanjima naših slušatelja Balkan Sis, čineći ovaj razgovor još privlačnijim i obogaćujućim.

Dotaknuli smo se i teme našeg kulturnog odgoja i "djevojčice-modela" kojeg mnogi od nas iz Balkana dobro poznaju. Raspravljamo o tome kako naša iskustva iz djetinjstva mogu ostaviti trajan utjecaj na naše odrasle živote.

Luciana je nesebično proširila posebnu ponudu za naše slušatelje Balkan Sis, pa obavezno posjetite njezinu web stranicu ili se obratite putem društvenih medija kako biste ostvarili svoj poseban poklon 🤍. Zapamtite, traženje podrške znak je snage, a ako se nalazite u Australiji, web stranice poput Lifeline i Beyond Blue odlični su resursi za početak:

Naš razgovor obiluje vrijednim spoznajama, i nadam se da ćete ga pronaći jednako obogaćujućim kao i mi.
