During 1:1 sessions and consultations, as well as during workshops, I get to know your stories... beautiful, difficult, unique, sometimes complicated and always unrepeatable... which stay with me for years...
Izabella is a beautiful woman: athletic, slim grey hair. Perfect and task-oriented at work, always prepared. Her colleagues look at her with admiration, her female colleagues with envy. Iza has had a wonderful relationship with Tom for 5 years. The only thing they need to be happy is a child... On Monday she heard from the doctor that after 4 unsuccessful implantations, the 5th procedure ended in an early miscarriage - she has one last attempt ahead of her. Iza has not had the strength to get out of bed for another day. Snooze after snooze on the alarm clock, and bitter tears in the shower. In a moment, a stone-cold roller pulls the swelling from her face. In the office, no one will notice. They will still envy her.
First, a handsome, friendly and smiling man appears in the office, long afterwards a unique scent, of perfectly chosen perfume, wafts through the office corridors. Female colleagues silently dream of a drink with Paul. Colleagues admire his wonderful sense of humour. Paweł has been single for three years. He can't trust any woman, after his fiancée left him a week before his wedding, claiming that she never actually loved him.
Maja is beautiful. Her storm of chestnut curls wonderfully accentuates her unique beauty. She regularly practices yoga and rides her bike. Always beautifully styled with perfectly chosen accessories. Colleagues in the office envy Majka for everything: her beauty, her figure, her style, her home and her holidays. Almost no one notices her big, beautiful and...sad eyes. A kind-hearted colleague told Majka yesterday that her husband, the respected chairman of an important local company, was seen out on the town in the company of a young mistress. Majka didn't even blink, didn't comment and, of course, didn't leave her husband's side, as she says: she can't...on her clerical salary she won't even be able to afford the cosmetics she regularly uses. She asks her doctor for stronger sleep medication...she still smiles widely at work and arouses the envy of her colleagues.
Everyday life writes thousands of such stories in companies, neighbours' homes, offices or banks...illnesses, betrayals, alcohol, complexes, childhood traumas, death, difficult relationships, drugs, violence....
Often, behind the widest smile, the best tailored suit, the most fashionable handbag, the most expensive watch, the most careful make-up and the most beautiful dress, on a perfectly slim size 34 figure, there are stories that the best writer could not invent, but life has written....
🛑 Don't judge. Don't comment. Don't gossip.
🫶 Be kind. Be open. Be considerate.
