My mission is to help busy professionals like you appreciate their own value and to build their dream life while feeling content and fulfilled.​

About Me
I am originally from Bulgaria, a small, beautiful country in Eastern Europe. I came to the USA with my husband and our firstborn son, then 18 months old, to complete our specialty training in anesthesiology after graduating from Medical school. Growing up I was always reminded that I should take everybody’s wellbeing into consideration before my own; that my priorities lie with others; that I should do the job well and never expect a reward; I should be humble and await recognition. I did so to the best of my abilities - I worked hard at the hospital, I used my personal time to work on different projects, was constantly rushing to meet my children’s needs, and took overnight calls to be able to attend their school activities. I kept giving, providing, meeting everybody’s expectations, and fulfilling their needs.
My Wake Up Call
One day, as I was quickly approaching “empty nester” status, I realized that I was everything others wanted me to be, but in the process, I lost sight of who I wanted to be. What were my dreams and desires? Was I brave enough to even trust myself anymore? On the surface, it looked like I had it all: two wonderful sons who were on paths to doing great things in life, a successful marriage of over 30 years, a strong academic career, but inside I felt lost and empty. I had no passion, I was scared, disappointed, and discouraged. The question “What defines me” was my wake-up call.
What Defines Me?
What defines me? This was the question I kept asking myself as I made my first steps toward self rediscovery. “I am a pediatric anesthesiologist” was my first thought. A second later my brain went into a downward spiral of self-judgment and feeling of guilt- “Is that really who you are?”, what about “I am a mother, I am a wife, I am a daughter, and a friend”? Indeed I am all of these things and probably even more, but sadly I felt insignificant and underachieved. Year after year while meeting others' expectations I kept moving further and further away from myself. I lost my purpose and my passion.
The Power of Coaching
Joining Self-coaching scholars by the LCS showed me the way. I learned how to get my power back and live my life on purpose. I took the time to look inside myself and to chase my dreams and desires again. For years I believed that I lacked creativity and uniqueness. I always followed in the steps of others because I didn’t believe in myself or my potential. That was the old me. Today I know how to set boundaries, I know what loving myself looks like, I trust myself because I learned how to go after my goals and achieve them. I walked the road, learned, and grew into the best version of myself.
