Personal story: my journey from entrepreneur to psychologist

I turned to psychology at just the right moment. My husband and I were running a family business - a shop of carnival costumes and festive goods. The constant stress and uncertainty was exhausting, and the possibility of stopping seemed unattainable.

In 2015, I started reading articles and books on psychology. They became an island of peace for me and helped me understand myself and others more deeply. But I took the decisive step in 2018, when I felt that I had reached the ceiling in business and was emotionally burnt out. That's when I decided to study to become a psychologist.

My journey in entrepreneurship started in 2009. The business had gone through crises and periods of growth, but required full commitment. I realised that internal resources are crucial in any business. However, by 2018, despite my success, I had lost the joy of work and wanted more meaning in my life. Psychology turned out to be the answer to this request: it taught me how to overcome crises and rethink my own reality.

This is how my hobby gradually turned into my new profession. Today, I feel that I am doing something that gives me balance and helps others.
