​ABOUT ME​
​

Hi, my name is Sladja!

​​I know, that name just rolls of the tongue:)

Here's a short version of my story... I grew up in a small, sleepy village in Serbia (former Yugoslavia) where I never truly felt a sense of belonging and ease. I've dreamed of living in a big city and having an adventurous, successful life, which was far from truth at the time.  

While my friends were in college and had their paths all figured out, I was working as a waitress. I was envious of them, but felt stuck in a dead-end job, broke, and feeling like I was settling and wasting my life away. But I knew that envy was signaling me that I too, wanted more from life. 

​And not just that, but that if I wanted a different life, it was me who had to go out of my bubble and create it. 

I decided to follow my curiosity and went to work on a cruise ship. It was the first time I left my country and experienced life outside of Serbia. This experience felt like waking up to a new life and opportunities I never knew were possible for me. 

​
After working on a cruise ship for a few years, I had a similar nagging feeling I've experienced in the past, telling me it's time for a new chapter. I made a big leap and moved to the U.S., fulfilling a long desired dream that was growing over the course of the years.

I never considered myself to be particularly adventurous or confident, quite the opposite. I loved my comfort zone, I was really insecure and shy, but I made a commitment to myself not to settle and live with regret. ​Through the journey of healing my own wounds from childhood and dealing with personal struggles, I became interested in the higher range of human potential and consumed inspirational, psychology, and personal development books. ​​That's how my dream of becoming a therapist was born. ​Fast forward some years, ups and downs, victories and losses, life unfolded in the best possible way. It turned out that each chapter of my life had its lessons and there is no one script that we all need to follow... as long as we live in integrity with who we are. My hope is that you too will bet on yourself and follow the excitement of your heart's desire.
