Themes: break-ups, self-love, fresh starts, career changes, solo-travel, friendships, burnout, expectations, timelines, relationships, resilience, strength. To celebrate the final two week’s before we embark on the magical adventure that is The Align Retreat, we are re-releasing the most listened to Turning 30 Podcast EVER with retreat co-host Jelena Holodkova. The reason this podcast episode is the most downloaded is because it has it all. An incredible story of a woman whose life took a sudden unexpected twist, and how she bounced back to build an even better life in her thirties. In this episode, Jelena vulnerably shares her story for the first time, of how her life once was and the big changes that ensued. We talk about how to navigate change, even when you didn’t choose it, how to deal with the aftermath of a break-up, being on autopilot and shifting into consciousness, dealing with burnout, letting go of the ‘shoulds’ and building a brand new aligned path. From leaving her successful corporate career in finance to building her own consultancy practice and business, to moving countries and traveling - Jelena’s thirties so far have been an incredible journey of self-development. Her story is powerful, inspiring and an important reminder of the resilience we have when things don’t go the way we expected. When I first heard her story, I knew one day I would share it with my audience. It’s been almost two years in the making- I hope you enjoy it! If you like this episode, you are invited to join Jelena and I for four days of retreat magic on August 4-7, in Kent, UK. The Align Retreat will combine Coaching, Human Design, Workshops, Yoga, Meditation and many other activities. An opportunity to ‘jumpstart’ your next chapter and get into alignment with a group of like-minded women.
