For those who cannot yet hire you for services, this platform, these episodes, your guidance has been sooo beneficial in my life. Thank you for turning this into a podcast! You provide such incredible value for us Women! I’m sooo excited for season 2!
She offers a way to reframe the practice of healing and self love as a journey. It makes sense in a way that a lot of podcasters can’t. She really makes me want to try one on one coaching and I’ve always been a therapy girl, highly recommend you listen.
This podcast continues to open my eyes to growth opportunities in my interpersonal relationships, and more importantly the self-love / boundaries that I struggle to create. Episodes help me discover where my work is in a loving way. It’s worth listening to on repeat on my commute and then again when I can take notes and share with others (including my kids). I have not had the opportunity to work with Ludmila… yet.
Where do I even begin? Ludmilla and I paths initially crossed for me to learn how to stop being a people pleaser, set boundaries and learn to graciously receive. Little did I know what a profound impact she would have on my life. We have now been working together for over 6 months on healing my past traumas, discovering my triggers, regulating my nervous system, learning healthy conflict, learning how to communicate my wants & feelings with my husband without exploding or avoidant tendencies and so so much more. My relationships with family and friends have all improved. Ludmilla is such a breath of fresh air and wealth of knowledge. I genuinely look forward to our weekly meetings and discover more about myself each time. She has broken down walls I didn’t even realize were built and is helping me become the wife, mother, friend and business owner that I have always envisioned. Her podcast is a gift to us all 💖
