Really hits home!

Found this podcast from a referral and I have to say it really hits home. Ludmila shares insights that are actionable and relatable. This is a must listen for anyone who wants to deepen their relationships. This is the way to finding freedom.

Much needed! If you’re learning to slow down.

I’m so happy that you are diving in hyper independence and slowing down. Some women are even since you to operate on a flight mode and they don’t know any better cause that’s their norm. I’m glad your describing episodes that we don’t have to work that way that it’s not healthy to work that way.
Thank you so much! the title of your July 3, 2023 episode Uber hyper independence!

Essential and Practical Motivation

Ludmilla, I cannot express enough how listening to your podcast has opened my eyes, my heart, and my brain. You are straight forward and to the point about how to be a strong, powerful, woman in her feminine. Listening to you would help any woman looking to unpack some of the conscious and subconscious issues we women struggle with silently. You are meant to do this work. Thank you!
