Highlights from today's episode include:
Anna Kowalska (06:11):
So I'll tell you very specifically because the moment is very clear. In my mind, we were living in a beautiful $2 million house, we were renovating piece by piece, and about to renovate the master suite. So my soon to be husband and I were in a bathroom and he handed me over a toothbrush and I don't know what it was about the toothbrush. And since then, I am speculating that it's so symbolic. You know, when you, with somebody, you have to brush us together on a toothbrushes, like a symbolic. When you live somewhere, that's where your toothbrush stays. He handed me a toothbrush. And all of a sudden I reached my hand out and something on my back just went really tight. And I know what the stress feels like, right? Like when you're, when your shoulder blades are really tight, I know what it feels like that wasn't it. I literally felt like somebody took a rope and I felt the pieces of rope touching my back now in that moment, I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm about to get tied up. I'm about to get tied up.
Anna Kowalska (07:45):
So in that moment, I was like, I'm about to get tied up. I have to get out. And so that's the only thing I knew in a moment I have to get out. I knew that it took me a few more months. I didn't say anything to him. I didn't say I'm about to get tied up. I have to get out. I took the toothbrush and we continued, but I knew in that moment that it was over. And I knew that I had to take a different path. Now, later on, as I started to get into spirituality and start believing in angels, I grew up Catholic. So angels were the little cherups, you know, in a dome of a church
Anna Kowalska (12:40):
I wasn't able to share it. I think in a moment I couldn't really explain what was always going on. I really couldn't explain. I grew up in a very traditional family in a very traditional environment. You get married, you have kids. That's what happens in life. Right. And I love my mum very dearly, but when I was breaking up that relationship, she said, why don't you have a child, sometimes that fixes something.
Anna Kowalska (13:24):
Yeah. So in my worldview at a time, I really didn't know what's going on. I mean to a degree now that I think about it, I did think there was something wrong with me because why was I rejecting such a perfect life? I mean, I grew up, so like I said, I grew up in Poland in a communist country. We weren't poor, but we, it's not like we were a rich family. Right. So coming to America, we came back down to nothing. I mean, we each came with a suitcase and we had a family here, but you know, my family, my parents started from the ground up again. So all of a sudden I'm in this relationship that has given me a space to have all these things.
About Anna Kowalska
For as long as I remember I was chasing something in life. I never felt like I was doing what I was meant to do.I was able to quickly manifest perfect jobs and excel at them. Ideal visions of my work and contribution would show up within weeks and sometimes days, after I declared them as desires. I was offered positions, on regular bases. Nothing felt fulfilling. As if the desire, the vision I was creating belonged to somebody else.
I began questioning myself and my desires, “will I ever know what satisfaction feels like?”.
In my mid twenties I enjoyed over a decade of success in real estate and mortgage industries, but I felt restless. My heart and soul kept waking me up in the middle of the night with a deep hunger.
I heard a calling to venture out into a completely new area of expertise. But I had no idea what it was.
My body led me to learn about holistic nutrition and this began my career in the personal growth/coaching industry.
I stumbled through many aspects of building a coaching business. In between my ebbs and flows, I organized events, helped publish books, built funnels, ran marketing campaigns. There were parts of my work and life that felt good, satisfying, enjoyable, but not fulfilling or satisfying, or exciting.
It wasn’t until my first Hand Analysis, that I finally started to feel hopeful about my work and my role in the world. Armed with a map that was in my hands, at all times, I started to take steps to build a fulfilling, soul satisfying life and contribute to the world in a way that inspires me, sparks me up, makes me jump out of bed.
