Starting over in a new country is tough. Why? Because nobody knows your story.
People hear the accent and instantly make assumptions.
They don't see the all-nighters.
The self-doubt.
The absurd amount of coffee it takes to build a life from scratch.
Being an Eastern European woman in the UK? Quite the experience.
No safety net.
A whole new system to figure out.
Endless proof that weโre far too stubborn to quit.
Every single thing I listed in this carousel? Iโve lived it. Every. Single. One.
And yet:
Built a company anyway.
Helped over 37,000 people to grow their careers.
Walked into the European Parliament.
I havenโt recieved fair opportunities. But I refused to sit down and be quiet.
Eastern European women in the UK, which slide got you first?

From cleaner to leader isnโt a slogan I borrowed. Itโs a life I had to build.๐
When I arrived in the UK, I learned how easy it is to make yourself smaller, to speak less, hide your accent and apologise before anyone even asks you to.
๐จ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐ was created for women who are ready to stop doing that.
On 16th and 17th of September, Iโm opening a private circle in Canary Wharf for international women building careers, businesses and a future in the UK.๐ฌ๐ง
Together with English Confidence Coach Terri Reynolds, weโll explore how to speak with confidence and turn your accent into an advantage, not something to hide.
Then, over drinks and canapรฉs, weโll make space for real conversations, professional event photography and connections that could open your next door, including a first look at opportunities through our AVG Education partnership.
No crowded room. No awkward networking.
Just 16 women per evening, brought together with intention. ๐ฅ

This is only the beginning of ๐จ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐. โค๏ธ
2012 came as a big shock for me. Cultural. Financial. Personal.
I started my journey in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง with a scam: ยฃ2000 paid for a job that didn't exist. Instead of the receptionist job I was promised, I ended up cleaning hotels, living in basic conditions, and sharing a room with someone who didn't speak any English.
I didn't give up. I went from Cleaner to Leader. It took me 6 years to reclaim my power, but every single day was worth it.
Looking back, 2012 was as tough as it was rewarding.
Thank you, Diaspora Live, for the opportunity to share my story.
How was your beginning in the UK? Your story can change someoneโs life.

Donโt hide your accent. OWN IT! ๐ฅ
The next time you hesitate in a meeting, on camera, or during an important pitch, remember this:
Your accent is not a weakness, itโs your superpower!
It is living proof of your journey, your ambition, and your fearless drive to make an impact globally. ๐
Own your accent.
Own your power.
Which languages do you speak, and which one unlocks your highest confidence? Drop it in the comments! ๐

I recently read Dolly Parton's story and realized we have a few things in common: blonde hair, plus being cheated on. Just kidding! ๐
The fact that endometriosis left us both without a uterus and sent us straight into early hormonal "retirement." Her at 36, me 4 months ago, at 39.
The moral? Whether you are a music legend or a woman in the UK who went from cleaning to running successful businesses, early menopause and emergency surgeries knock us down all the same.
The difference is what you do after you pick yourself back up.
Dolly started giving millions of books to children. When I was left a new mom living on benefits in 2019, I started studying. Today, together with my team, I have guided over 37,000 people to rebuild their paths.
If your body gave out, if you are starting over in a foreign country, or if you simply feel like you are piecing yourself back together:
You are not behind.
You are not weak.
The missing piece doesn't stop you from being whole.
At 39, I am still rebuilding.
Personally. Professionally.
If you are also in a period where you are starting over, rebuilding, or simply feeling like it's time for a new chapter, follow my story.
Maybe we'll write the next chapter together.
FROM CLEANER TO LEADER.
Iโm not asking if you are in a toxic relationship with Universal Credit. Iโm telling you as a fact. ๐
I was there, so I understand this toxicity. It places a permanent ceiling over your head. Itโs a comfort zone that locks you in chains and gives you a false sense of security. It messes with your mindset and stops you from growing.
Walking away from Universal Credit is the biggest act of courage you will ever make.
If you are stuck on Universal Credit right now and want to break free, I know how to help you. I can help you leave the smart way. We can look at different options, and find a real path for you to escape.
DM me if you're ready to make a change. I donโt charge, I just give you safe options to exit because yes, I have a Universal Credit phobia. ๐
In 2012, I arrived in the UK to a ยฃ2,000 scam and a job that didn't even exist.
I refused to stay down. I learned the system, beat it at its own game, and built strong businesses from scratch.
At Diaspora, I shared my whole journey and how I've helped 37,000 people grow financially and professionally. Thank you Diaspora show for having me. โฅ๏ธ ๐ช๐บ
