❓ What can we learn about self-care from a cancer survivor’s perspective, and how to show support to your loved ones who are diagnosed with cancer?
❓ Is it healthy to spend time alone every now and then?
❓ How can young women manage their self-esteem while facing unrealistic standards in the era of social media?
In this episode, our guest speaker, Evgeniya (Jenya) Prokhno joins us to share the story of how she battled cancer and found her own ways to practice self-care.
We hope that Jenya's inspiring story will not only give you another perspective to consider for your own self-care journey, but it will also help you learn more about how to take care of your loved ones in their difficult times or build up your self-esteem regardless of the unrealistic standards imposed on social media.

About Evgeniya (Jenya) Prokhno: Jenya immigrated from Russia to the United States where she received a B.A. in International Business with a minor in German language and M.S. in Design. After craving an opportunity to work in a creative environment, Evgeniya moved to NYC to work in the fashion industry where she first landed at Ralph Lauren in accessories design and product development and later helped build a successful creative recruitment company. Being surrounded by the top creative talent and recovering from cancer at a young age inspired Evgeniya to follow her passion for natural skincare which led her to become a creative producer at Tata Harper Skincare.
Bloom in Crisis is the embodiment of hope — it is a belief, a practice, a state of being that empowers you to skillfully regulate emotions, build spiritual resilience, enhance self-awareness, unleash the potential of your mind, foster a grateful heart, cultivate joy, nurture positive energy, promote inner peace, grow self-compassion and compassion for others, embrace the present moment, derive wisdom from introspection, transform pain into grace, recognize positive possibilities even in adversity, and actively shape your narrative, ultimately leading to a happy and fulfilled life (with a touch of style!)
Welp... you're probably not going to remember all of these, and neither am I (!) which is why internalizing the concept of "bloom in crisis" instead of trying to memorize what it means is important. Luckily, we can all do it by practicing consistently.
While I'm incredibly grateful for my journey, I know firsthand how painful and lonely it is to go through tough times alone — it urges me to give back and help others as much as I can in my lifetime. Bloom in Crisis has been transforming me and many others for the better, and I would love for you to give it a try!
Believing that everyone is a bloomer and we #bloomincrisis together, I founded Bloom in Crisis to share with you how I practice it and what I've learned throughout my journey, which, I hope, will be helpful for you in yours.
