I have been reflecting about people searching for ‘the best life coach in London’ or ‘the best coach out there’ and similar. I thought to myself, how can I make a statement that I am the best life coach in London, in Sofia or in the world? Here is my view - I am the best coach I can be to my abilities, knowledge, education, empathy and the space I hold for my clients.

Working with a coach is not just about setting goals or checking tasks off a list — it's about real transformation. As someone who’s guided people through burnout, identity shifts, and deep emotional healing, I often say: Coaching is not about fixing you — it’s about reconnecting you to who you truly are. If you’re wondering what life looks like when you step into coaching with me at A Mindful Escape, here are 12 powerful signs of change you’ll start to experience — all based on real journeys I’ve witnessed in my practice.

There’s something I’ve been sitting with lately and it got me thinking - is it just me? Am I the only one that feels like the news cycles are a constant doom and gloom, and the last time I read the word ‘joy’ in a headline was in 2019 or something?

Before 2020, the world felt… different. Not perfect. But somehow lighter. The future felt more open. Uncertainty was there, yes—but it wasn’t pressing down on us every day. These days, I hear a quiet theme running beneath so many conversations—with clients, friends, even strangers:
“Why do I feel so heavy, anxious, or fearful—even when life seems ‘fine’ on the surface?”

I have found it fascinating to understand what people believe self love to be. When you open any social media app, an array of posts motivating you to love yourself first, be a boss this or that and catch flights not feelings, just pour out your screen. It got me thinking though, is self love bubble baths and spa days? Those little nuggets of enjoyment are definitely part of the self love journey but they are nice to haves, not the essentials. It can also be said that a few of them are forms of escapism from truly facing yourself and healing.

Do you remember what it feels like the first time you go to the seaside? Not the first time in your life, but every first time. After you have been away from this deep ocean-blue horizon for a long time, and the moment your bare feet touch the soft sand, you hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and the sun kisses your face, you feel like something inside you, resets. Like a heavy weight has been lifted off your shoulders, you breathe deeply in the fresh salty air, and suddenly… you feel at peace. Do you recognize the feeling?

I am of the opinion that everything needs context. There is no blanket statement that covers the ins and outs of the situation, for such a complex matter as where is a workforce most productive, motivated, at peace etc… There are many aspects that we need to consider when forming an opinion. If COVID showed us anything, it was that people are resilient, adaptable and can WFH with minimum impact on productivity at least for some time.

Imagine having one item that reminds you of all the good things that happened to you daily. A collection of positive experiences and dear moments. A safe space that you can come back to every day, passing through the pages and filling the new ones with more and more gratitude. No, it’s not a picture album. That is a gratitude journal. It’s your personal book of all the things you are grateful for in your life.

Exploring life in the big, busy and bustling city of Jakarta, Emily shares her path to nature. We explore the benefits of being in nature while living the 9-5 life in 1 of the most congested cities in the world. Anxiety, lack of sleep and stress are part of our daily lives in a way that we forget there are other options. A silent mind, a peaceful heart beat and being present.

As I’ve come to realise the big impact nature and the great outdoors have on our minds and mental health, the following blogs are going to be a little bit different from what you have read until now.  They are intertwined with personal stories of mine, which will give you a genuine and honest experience that I really want to share with you! It follows the topics of how being surrounded by nature can help decrease overwhelming pressure and stress.

There are people out there for whom the holidays exasperate the sense of loneliness, fear, loss, heartbreak and many more feelings that are very far from joy. The social pressure to feel something positive, only makes a person feel worse.

In true Carrie Bradshaw style, ‘I could not help but wonder…’ are phones the cigarettes of our time? Would we see phones being sold with a warning 10 years from now, with a health hazard sticker on them? Would they be allowed after a certain age? I truly cannot help but think we are observing a phenomenon we do not truly understand and the consequences are yet to be seen.

The ‘positive vibes’ only movement can have profound negative effects on people and businesses.

What I can tell you is that for so many years now, employers have been pushing forward the idea of becoming successful, not acknowledging the cost one may pay. Commonly, that would be sleepless nights, stress, and anxiety which result in dissatisfaction, demotivation, and the question ‘Why do I even do it anymore?’. Simply said, it affects employees' wellbeing.

Gratitude involves taking the time to acknowledge the little things in life that are valuable to you and bring you joy. Showing appreciation for the things you are grateful for each day can be a life-changer, improving your mood, brightening your day, and helping you feel overall more positive with a lighter outlook on life.

The pandemic set a precedent for social isolation. People getting used to working from the comfort of their homes and ultimately losing some of the ability to interact and create together. Some people also have developed anxiety coming into the office or just do not see the point of going in as they just ultimately end up sitting on Zoom all day.

A corporate wellbeing workshop is a specifically designed event that aims to improve the overall health and wellness of employees within the extremely dynamic corporate business world. These workshops offer a great variety of activities that differ from each other, depending on the needs of the team.

Fortunately, more and more companies nowadays are starting to recognize the issues associated with stress, burn out and employee engagement. They emphasize employee well-being as a key component of a happy workforce and, consequently, of business success. The adoption of wellness practices in the workplace is highly recommended to keep the work environment stress-free

Failure - the dreaded word of the day. I am going to skip past the social media aspect of how people perceive other people’s lives, and how this can be really impactful on anyone’s mental health. In this post, I want to focus on actual failure - when we, as individuals, make a move and epically F*** it up. Or at least we perceive it this way.

Although I am a certified practitioner, I still go to therapy myself. Practicing, while working on your own practice improvement and biases, is a lifelong journey. So the question - how to choose the right therapist is so important. Going down the route of doing therapy can be overwhelming.
