Finding Inner Happiness and Connections For Moms with Anna Bohuslavska
In this episode, we dive into a journey of transformation, resilience, and emotional growth with Anna Bohuslavska, a transformational coach and inner guide dedicated to helping women break free from societal expectations and craft lives of true happiness. Originally from Ukraine, Anna now resides in the U.S. and focuses on supporting emotionally exhausted women, particularly mothers, who often find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Through her work, Anna helps them rediscover joy and purpose.
Anna’s Journey: From Software Development to Emotional Healing
Anna's path to becoming a transformational coach is a story of listening to an inner calling. Though she initially pursued a career in software development, she had always been drawn to psychology. Her mother once discouraged her from the field, fearing Anna's empathic nature would make it too emotionally taxing. But the desire never left her. Later, as a new mother, Anna encountered emotional struggles of her own. She felt isolated in her journey, unable to turn to her mother for guidance due to their distant relationship.
These challenges led her back to her passion for psychology, focusing specifically on the dynamics between parents and children. What began as a quest for answers to her own questions evolved into leading support groups for parents. The more she connected with others, the clearer it became that much of what parents struggled with stemmed from unresolved issues within themselves. “If moms themselves would be healed, if moms themselves would be happy,” Anna explains, “many of the questions they bring to the table wouldn’t even arise.”
Breaking Free from Societal Scripts
Through her coaching, Anna empowers women to step away from the rigid roles that society often imposes on them. Many of the women she works with feel trapped, believing they have to put everyone else’s needs before their own. This leads them to become emotionally unavailable, not only to themselves but to their families as well. Anna’s journey to the U.S. right before the pandemic amplified this feeling. Suddenly, she was unable to pursue her dream of leading in-person support groups, and the isolation began to take its toll, leaving her burnt out and unfulfilled.
Anna saw herself becoming the very kind of mother she had always strived not to be—one who was constantly busy and unavailable. She recalls waking up and immediately thinking, “When will this day be over?” It was a powerful realization that she needed to make a change, to rebuild her life with a holistic approach that would let her stay true to herself. Her journey of self-healing and rediscovery formed the foundation of her coaching practice, where she now guides women to do the same.
Modeling Happiness for Children
One of the key insights Anna shares is the importance of modeling happiness for children. She believes that telling kids to “follow their dreams” means little if they don’t see their parents doing the same. “If we don’t show by example,” Anna notes, “they won’t truly understand it.” Children absorb not just what parents say but how they live. When parents prioritize their well-being and pursue their dreams, it sends a powerful message.
This lesson became a core part of Anna’s coaching philosophy. Instead of putting personal desires on hold to focus solely on family, she encourages mothers to explore what truly brings them joy. Many women she works with can’t even list three things that make them happy, as they have spent so long prioritizing others. Anna helps her clients reconnect with themselves and discover their true desires, showing them that it’s not only okay to want more—it’s essential.
The Importance of Support and Asking for Help
A significant barrier that Anna sees among her clients, especially mothers, is the reluctance to ask for help. She shares her own experience of moving to the U.S., leaving behind the support of her mother, who lived just minutes away back in Ukraine. Suddenly, Anna had no one to call on for quick help or a break, which made everything feel much heavier. This experience underscored the importance of having a support system.
Anna encourages her clients to reach out and seek help. “Working on this journey alone can feel lonely, scary, and uncertain,” she says. Whether it’s a coach, a friend, or a supportive group, having someone by your side provides emotional strength and accountability. This support can make all the difference, turning what feels like an overwhelming journey into one that’s empowering and filled with hope.
Embracing Choices and Creating Change
A core message in Anna’s work is that we are not as stuck as we often feel. Many people think life is happening to them and that they have little control over their circumstances. But as Anna points out, we make around 35,000 choices each day. One of the most transformative choices anyone can make is deciding to change. For her, this choice isn’t just about words but a deep, internal commitment that can lead to meaningful action.
Choosing change is the first step, and Anna believes it’s essential to have guidance along the way. Coaches provide direction, accountability, and encouragement, making it easier for clients to stay on course. Change doesn’t happen overnight; it’s the result of consistent, small steps that build up to a new way of living. “You start making little changes,” Anna shares, “and soon you find you’re dramatically different from the person you once were.”
The Power of Community in the Transformation Journey
Anna’s work extends beyond one-on-one coaching. She has created a supportive Facebook community where women can connect, share their experiences, and learn from one another. Weekly coaching calls allow participants to discuss their challenges and successes in a safe, understanding environment. Group support, Anna explains, makes the journey less isolating and more powerful.
When women come together, they realize that they’re not alone in their struggles. Hearing others voice similar challenges can be a profound relief. It also provides diverse perspectives, as each member brings unique approaches to common problems. This community aspect helps members feel supported, validated, and understood, which is essential for lasting transformation.
Finding Alignment and Inner Joy
At the heart of Anna’s coaching is helping women live lives aligned with their true selves, not someone else’s expectations. By reconnecting with what brings them joy and releasing societal scripts, her clients learn to be present not only for their families but also for themselves. This shift has a ripple effect, changing family dynamics and even the broader community.
Anna’s mission is to guide women toward a place of inner peace and fulfillment, helping them create environments where everyone thrives. By taking time for themselves, mothers become better role models for their children, friends, and communities. As Anna says, “One moment at a time, I hope to make this world a better place for all of us.”
If you’re ready to start your journey to inner happiness and fulfillment, Anna invites you to join her Facebook community and discover the support and guidance you need to transform your life. For more personalized support, consider one-on-one coaching with Anna, where you can explore a tailored approach to align your life with your true self and find lasting joy.

8
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: beyond their wildest dreams. Welcome to the show, Anna. It's really great to have you here.
9
::Anna Bohuslavska: Thank you for having me. It's a honor and pleasure for me.
10
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So tell us your story, and I do want to let listeners know. Mostly you. You help moms
11
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to to get.
12
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah.
13
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Line up with their lives. So go ahead.
14
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah, for me. My journey in helping professions started, probably since I was a little girl but when I expressed my
15
::Anna Bohuslavska: interest in psychology field. To my mom she was always now you are too emphatic. You cannot go that field. And I believed her. And I ended up in software development.
16
::Anna Bohuslavska: but always has this like background thought, go get degree in psychology, just for yourself, just for yourself. But sure enough, Young want to travel. Want to have fun. Who thought about like second education in my case it was 3, rd so I kind of delayed and postponed this
17
::Anna Bohuslavska: thin for a long time. And when I got my 1st son I faced a lot of emotional challenges and basically my reactions to his cry
18
::Anna Bohuslavska: was scared to me because I felt like this constant urge to stop it, no matter what.
19
::Anna Bohuslavska: and as my mom was no role for me because I she was
20
::Anna Bohuslavska: always busy and emotionally absent for me. She was no go person to like, ask the advice. So I went studying psychology in terms of parent relationships, and it
21
::Anna Bohuslavska: changed me. Change how I view the world and start leading support group for parents. And the more I work with
22
::Anna Bohuslavska: parents, mostly it was moms. The more I saw that if moms itself would be healed, if moms itself would be happy, those questions wouldn't be on the table in general.
23
::Anna Bohuslavska: And so now I focus in more on helping moms. But I also have in our dance not moms months, but I help people to
24
::Anna Bohuslavska: see how you can manage all that on your plate and still be happy. Still, be present with your kids, with your family, with your friends.
25
::Anna Bohuslavska: cause
26
::Anna Bohuslavska: through our transition. When we moved to U.S.A.
27
::Anna Bohuslavska: we moved right before Covid. And a lot of things that I thought like, okay, I will continue support group in here. But you cannot go outside. You cannot meet other people, and I moved aside a lot of my dreams once again.
28
::Anna Bohuslavska: and it led me to burn down to being
29
::Anna Bohuslavska: so focused on needs of others that I found myself totally emotionally absent. And basically
30
::Anna Bohuslavska: I noticed that I became the mom who I so tried not to be
31
::Anna Bohuslavska: the mom who is constantly busy, and the moms who cannot be fully present for kids thinking of. I need to do this, I need to do that till the point that I would wake up in the morning and look at the watch, thinking when this day will be over.
32
::Anna Bohuslavska: and
33
::Anna Bohuslavska: it was hard to admit for myself that I in that situation.
34
::Anna Bohuslavska: But
35
::Anna Bohuslavska: when I saw myself in
36
::Anna Bohuslavska: eyes of my son.
37
::Anna Bohuslavska: I thought, no, I need to take it under control and change it.
38
::Anna Bohuslavska: and I start once again my own healing journey, my own transformational journey, learned new things, new perspectives, saw the new ways to make it all possible, because what I found through my journey that a lot of approaches. They kind of help with one specific area, but the other goes down, and it was always how I make it all work together. So I started
39
::Anna Bohuslavska: taking different pieces and putting my own picture
40
::Anna Bohuslavska: and seeing like this holistic approach to well-being. And now I'm helping other women to make their life
41
::Anna Bohuslavska: in alignment with their true selves. Without
42
::Anna Bohuslavska: those put on them someone expectations
43
::Anna Bohuslavska: what they need and should and not they want and
44
::Anna Bohuslavska: help them, be
45
::Anna Bohuslavska: happy, help them, be present, help them.
46
::Anna Bohuslavska: be present not only for their kids, but for themselves, and then change whole family dynamic community around them, and I hope one moment a time, I will make this world a bit better place for all of us.
47
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Love that
48
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it really does.
49
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: If you start with the moms, it impacts the whole society because
50
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: my husband likes to say, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy?
51
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And and as moms, we just tend to.
52
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we just
53
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we want to make everybody else happy. We don't really think about our own happiness, or what we want, or what our goals and desires are for our lives. We're just caught up in the all of the things that we have to do every single day, and and it can be overwhelming if you have children.
54
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it just like.
55
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just take laundry, for example.
56
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: The more children you have. It's like 2 loads of laundry per child per week.
57
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: That was my estimate. I have a friend who has 8 kids, and it worked out pretty good because she she had like
58
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: 16 to 20 loads of laundry a week.
59
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: They were always doing laundry. I was like.
60
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: girl. This is crazy, but it just
61
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: kids wear clothes, and they chuck them in the laundry basket. And so you're constantly doing laundry for them.
62
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. And I want to just mention that you said like, we're focusing on giving our kids best and put aside our dreams and desires. But here's the biggest misconception, because we think that if I work hard enough, if I put aside my desires and
63
::Anna Bohuslavska: tell my kids like, go get your dreams make their dreams reality like
64
::Anna Bohuslavska: they have
65
::Anna Bohuslavska: incongruent picture like I can have my dreams. But you cannot. How I can achieve if I don't have an example. So it's like dead end. If we not realize that
66
::Anna Bohuslavska: we.
67
::Anna Bohuslavska: no matter how many words of encouragement we say, if you do not show by example.
68
::Anna Bohuslavska: they wouldn't get it.
69
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yes.
70
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and that goes across all
71
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: all of the things in life.
72
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You know, if you're in a bad relationship, you're modeling a bad relationship for your kids get out of that relationship. You're not helping the kids by sticking around, which was something that people used to say, we'll stay together for the kids, you know.
73
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: That's crap.
74
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're not doing it for the kids.
75
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're doing it because you're not taking responsibility
76
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: for taking action to make things better so that you can show them. This is how you do it. When you find yourself in a bad situation. This is what you do to make the situation better.
77
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You know. The same with
78
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: not
79
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Putting your dreams aside.
80
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just you're modeling bad behavior for them
81
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and expecting that they're gonna somehow figure it out.
82
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah.
83
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Just
84
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: really the reason why people should hire coaches and should look to people that can help them. I was like you when my kids were young. My 1st 2 kids were young. I didn't have anyone that I could go to to ask questions of.
85
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I had. I didn't have young kids around me when I was growing up. So kids were really foreign to me. And my mom didn't really want to have kids.
86
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: She had 3 of us. But she didn't really want kids. So she wasn't. She wasn't a terrific mom or role model
87
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: in that area.
88
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: she did. She had other things that she was really good at, but
89
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: being a mom was not one of them, so
90
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I would have loved to have somebody like you come along and say, Hey, you know, these are some skills that I can, or tools that I can show you how to navigate these these different things that you're trying to deal with when it comes to, you know, having kids and having a career and
91
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: having a relationship with your husband.
92
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You know how how all of those things can work together to
93
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: create a life that you're happy to live, and you don't wake up in the morning and look at your watch and go
94
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: 12 h, 12 h, and I can come back over here and escape again.
95
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. And that's why it's important to hire someone. Because.
96
::Anna Bohuslavska: 1st of all, you can feel like something off, but do not know what exactly something of. Because if you, as a child, experience that this is kind of what is normal thing, looks like
97
::Anna Bohuslavska: you kind of live in the same normal things. But you, deep down inside, you will feel that something is off, and someone from outside of your picture can help you and see this. And the same goes like
98
::Anna Bohuslavska: when we are small, we kind of feel what we want want to be like, what we dislike, and we protest our parents when they say like, No, you should do that, you, and sometimes it goes to extreme like your opinion doesn't matter. Do what I say, and all that stuff, and we kind of
99
::Anna Bohuslavska: disconnect from ourselves and
100
::Anna Bohuslavska: become even unfamiliar with what I really want. I have a lot of moms with whom I work, and on the simple question, What brings you joy? They cannot answer even 3 things.
101
::Anna Bohuslavska: and.
102
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oh!
103
::Anna Bohuslavska: Like, how you can build the life that you want, how you can show your kids what it truly means to be happy if you do not know for yourself what it means for you.
104
::Anna Bohuslavska: So it's all started with connection with yourself, and
105
::Anna Bohuslavska: it's hard when you do not know where to start.
106
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah. And even with the Internet, it's really hard
107
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to
108
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just look at the big picture and and to recognize that
109
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know the way that it has always been done, or the way that you were taught, or the way that you were raised, doesn't have to be the way that you raise your kids
110
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: there
111
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you have choices.
112
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You have a lot of choices a lot more than you may even think
113
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you have choices on, whether you want to send them to school or not.
114
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's an option you might have to move because the laws around where you're living may require you to do things that you don't want to do. But there are, you know, in the United States there's lots of different places you can live that have lots of different rules about different things in your life.
115
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: My husband and I were talking about
116
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Pot the other day when we were walking, and it was like, you know we live somewhere where pots, illegal
117
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: marijuana is illegal, but there are lots of places in this country where it's not illegal. So you know, if you want to smoke pot.
118
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: move somewhere where it's legal
119
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: problem solved.
120
::Anna Bohuslavska: As we have a saying, and you're kind of like you are not a tree. You can move.
121
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're not a tree. You can move.
122
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. But also it's about realization that you have those choices. But a lot of us kind of fall into this
123
::Anna Bohuslavska: thinking that lives happen to us.
124
::Anna Bohuslavska: and we have no control over it, but
125
::Anna Bohuslavska: statistically every single day every single one of us makes approximately 35,000 choices.
126
::Anna Bohuslavska: One of the choice can be. No, I won't allow this behavior towards me. I won't allow this happen. I want to change, because most powerful thing that you want you can do is
127
::Anna Bohuslavska: not only complaining that it's hard that I don't know what to do, but decide that you want to change.
128
::Anna Bohuslavska: because from that point you can start.
129
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: The ball.
130
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. And only when you decide internally, like, not just like, Oh, yeah, I want to change, but really feel that you want to change. Only then you can start taking actions, taking steps that will lead to that change.
131
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And and
132
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: coaches will come along, or people will come along that can show you.
133
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You know this is the next step. Just do this little thing. It's not like you have to suddenly be somebody different.
134
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: though I promise you you start making little changes, and at the end you're going to find that you're dramatically different than the person
135
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: who is miserable that you started out to be, and the people around you will change.
136
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I don't know if they actually change, or your perception of them changes, but they do change
137
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: things that may have been driving you crazy suddenly. It they're not. They're either not doing it, or you're not noticing it.
138
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: But either way it it impacts you in that
139
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you're a happier human being, and happy people
140
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: are are nice to be around. And so your friend Group grows, and
141
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it just it. It really does make the whole world a better place
142
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: when
143
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you take steps to make yourself happy.
144
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. And here is a trickier thing about like
145
::Anna Bohuslavska: women, especially moms who are overwhelmed.
146
::Anna Bohuslavska: They often in that place because they
147
::Anna Bohuslavska: do not allow themselves to ask for help.
148
::Anna Bohuslavska: But it's like the first, st most crucial step, because
149
::Anna Bohuslavska: working on this journey alone
150
::Anna Bohuslavska: feels very lonely and scary and uncertain. But when you have someone coach friend, no matter who it is by your side, leading your way, guiding your help, and make taking, like
151
::Anna Bohuslavska: giving you accountability, supporting you
152
::Anna Bohuslavska: that you know that someone held you back.
153
::Anna Bohuslavska: This one feeling that you have support already changed a lot
154
::Anna Bohuslavska: like when we were living in Ukraine.
155
::Anna Bohuslavska: My mom lived close by like 1015 min walk from my house.
156
::Anna Bohuslavska: but I rarely asked her for help, because I was at that point. I had only one child, and it was pretty. Okay.
157
::Anna Bohuslavska: But when we moved to United States
158
::Anna Bohuslavska: it wasn't was not an option anymore, because now she's 1,000 miles away. And for me
159
::Anna Bohuslavska: just that thought that I cannot call her
160
::Anna Bohuslavska: to come. Help me!
161
::Anna Bohuslavska: Made a huge impact on how heavy it felt.
162
::Anna Bohuslavska: just from knowing that.
163
::Anna Bohuslavska: So if you're an overwhelmed situation, know that there's plenty of coaches. People who are ready to help you just ask, just reach out.
164
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Do you do? Coaching is one on one, or do you do groups.
165
::Anna Bohuslavska: I have a Facebook community where we do weekly coaching calls and support each other. And also I do one on one coaching
166
::Anna Bohuslavska: group program is in process coming in future.
167
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So
168
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: when you talk about
169
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you're you're coaching. So it's in person.
170
::Anna Bohuslavska: I do online. So yeah, it's through video calls.
171
::Anna Bohuslavska: If if person lives nearby and she prefer one on one in person, then we can meet in person. But
172
::Anna Bohuslavska: nowadays, with online space so developed and widely spread
173
::Anna Bohuslavska: like your city limits, is not limit for you.
174
::Anna Bohuslavska: isn't it.
175
::Anna Bohuslavska: to reach for help to find someone who will feel
176
::Anna Bohuslavska: best fit for your situation, for you.
177
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I like the group aspect, too, because when you're when you're working with moms.
178
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's easy to feel like
179
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you're the only one.
180
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Or you know this is happening to me. But it's not happening to anybody else, or there's got to be something wrong with me, because
181
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: XYZ. Keeps happening to me. But when you're in a community, you see that I know
182
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: everybody has these same kinds. It might not be exactly the same situation, but they're similar. And
183
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and and they they
184
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: all bring different
185
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: approaches to resolving.
186
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: resolving it and just being able to to voice what you're feeling. And a group of other women who are going through something similar is so empowering.
187
::Anna Bohuslavska: It definitely makes this journey less lonely, but also the power of group. And that's why I love the online community and group calls
188
::Anna Bohuslavska: because someone can ask the question that is will be your next question.
189
::Anna Bohuslavska: and when you will have it you will already be prepared for it.
190
::Anna Bohuslavska: or some aspect that you didn't thought, or even for someone brings up. Oh, this is really it's up my energy. What do you? What I can do and like? Oh, that's it's up my energy, too. I even didn't realize it. So group space is very powerful in terms of expanding. And
191
::Anna Bohuslavska: it's just a powerful experience. Yeah.
192
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It really is, and you make friends in those communities that last forever. I mean, it doesn't even matter where they are in the world. I I have friends
193
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: all over the world that I've met in different communities and different groups. And and we talk.
194
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know, and we may. It may be a month or 2 before we reconnect, but it
195
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's just so easy to
196
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to shrink your world up, and to have so many more options to to reach out and and work with others.
197
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And
198
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I just
199
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to feel like you're not alone. A lot of it is just
200
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: being a mom in the world, and even in this day and age can be one of the loneliest.
201
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yes.
202
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah. I
203
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: like hate to say occupations, but it it is an occupation. It's what you're doing with your time at. You're you're trying to raise other human beings.
204
::Anna Bohuslavska: And it's most important occupation for our planet, for our species like to survive, to thrive, to, not go downhill. And yet you put it all the lot puts on your own, and you kind of need to figure out how to jungle it all, how to navigate it all. So yeah, building friendship. And
205
::Anna Bohuslavska: it's kind of the problem of the system itself.
206
::Anna Bohuslavska: With all this stuff. And
207
::Anna Bohuslavska: I really hope that everyone can
208
::Anna Bohuslavska: find at least someone
209
::Anna Bohuslavska: at least one person. Let it be online in that you will never met in person, but still some person that you can relate to it already will feel less lonely
210
::Anna Bohuslavska: because in reality
211
::Anna Bohuslavska: every single mom that comes to me, they think that is, struggles like unique to them, and no one struggled with it.
212
::Anna Bohuslavska: But it's not. We all struggle with that. We just
213
::Anna Bohuslavska: have the tendency. Keep it quiet.
214
::Anna Bohuslavska: keep it to ourselves.
215
::Anna Bohuslavska: do not show it online, do not show it on. Instagram put only beautiful things. And all those role models, that kind of fake. And everyone knows that they fake. But still you, your brain jumps to comparison.
216
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. So finding the people who you will feel at the same place and going to because we human beings, we are
217
::Anna Bohuslavska: creature of connection.
218
::Anna Bohuslavska: We would not survive without it.
219
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Why do you think going going? It alone is is really difficult for people.
220
::Anna Bohuslavska: 1st of all, when you feel that
221
::Anna Bohuslavska: you're alone on this, you start feeling that
222
::Anna Bohuslavska: what's happening to you happening to only to you.
223
::Anna Bohuslavska: And this makes you feel like no one can help you, because no one deal with it.
224
::Anna Bohuslavska: and it makes you even harder to reach out for help because you think like, how would they help me? They do not understand what I'm going through.
225
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I know that you offer an overwhelm to Harmony.
226
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Invitation to work with you. Do you want to talk about that a little bit, because I think this is a good
227
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: good place for that.
228
::Anna Bohuslavska: Sure. I I in this coaching sphere, not just to like
229
::Anna Bohuslavska: make a business or something like that. I'm here because
230
::Anna Bohuslavska: I know how it is to be a child of overwhelmed Mom.
231
::Anna Bohuslavska: And I know how just to be overwhelmed, Mom.
232
::Anna Bohuslavska: And
233
::Anna Bohuslavska: this is the place that I wouldn't
234
::Anna Bohuslavska: recommend to anyone or like, say that someone should go through it. This is the place that I want to help to avoid as many people as I can, and that's why I extended my invitation to everyone, despite their situation, whether they open to help the whether they have ability, possibility.
235
::Anna Bohuslavska: I invite everyone who is filled, the call in.
236
::Anna Bohuslavska: Who wants to
237
::Anna Bohuslavska: change it? Who feel that they're ready to change it.

::Anna Bohuslavska: and let me help you to break from that overwhelm.
240
::Anna Bohuslavska: Let me help you. Make your life
241

245
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And I hope if there are moms out there that are struggling with
246
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: trying to do it all, or just
247
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: feeling like you're really alone. And you have no one to talk to.
248
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Take Anna up
249
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just having someone to say.
250
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And this isn't to minimize how great you are in other areas of your life.
251
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I I
252
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm reminded of
253
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: When I 1st got into life coaching, there's the wheel of life, the
254
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: where you divide up the the pie into the different aspects of your life, and
255
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: then you draw you color it all in, and you draw a circle around it, and that's the wheel. It it's all bumpy.
256
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's really hard to get by on a bumpy wheel on your bicycle.
257
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So you know you could be thriving in in certain areas of your life. Maybe your business is going great. Maybe your relationships with your friends are great, but you're feeling like God, I'm a sucky mom. Or you know, my kids are driving me crazy, and I don't know how to
258
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: how to deal with this.
259
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's okay.
260
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Reach out to Anna and and let her help you navigate that part.
261
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I I my kids, are all old now, so I I remember when there were certain times in their lives, and my husband was gone all the time when they were
262
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: like the teenage years comes to mind
263
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and teenage boys in specific in the country, and they had ideas about what they were gonna do and how they were gonna do it didn't really align with what I wanted for them.
264
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know, having somebody to talk to
265
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is really important in times like that, and just to give you strategies, for you know
266
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: how to negotiate with them how to make things
267
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: not feel so confrontational because I
268
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: one of my triggers, is I I hate being. I hate confrontation.
269
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I don't like that stress that it puts on my body.
270
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: But there's times when you you
271
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you don't have any choice. You're going to have to confront a situation and and having somebody that can give you the tools to deal with something like that. They're priceless in my book.
272
::Anna Bohuslavska: Yeah. And also, I want to emphasize that
273
::Anna Bohuslavska: everything starts with you like, if you're
274
::Anna Bohuslavska: know your awareness, if you're in connection with yourself if you know what you want. If you know how
275
::Anna Bohuslavska: like life should look like for you, then
276
::Anna Bohuslavska: a lot of questions that, outside of your
277
::Anna Bohuslavska: become less charged emotionally, and it's become easier. And the relationship improves, because, like you know, you, you know what you stand for. You know what your boundaries you know how to respect them and all that stuff. And yeah, it's truly a transformational journey to
278
::Anna Bohuslavska: that will serve you in any area of life, and I have clients with ripple effects in all area of life, not only like overwhelmed. It's nice to see, because all starts with you
279
::Anna Bohuslavska: and the better help
280
::Anna Bohuslavska: even with kids relationship. It starts with you.
281
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I I couldn't agree more. I it just like
282
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: getting a handle on what your boundaries are. Not that you're going to be out there going. These are my boundaries. But just just to know personally, because there are so many people that really don't understand what their own boundaries are, because they've never looked at it. They don't know what they stand for. They don't know what they want in their life, what they want to allow in their life, and they don't know that they have a choice.
283
::Anna Bohuslavska: Okay.
284

285
::Anna Bohuslavska: Always has a choice. He always has a choice.

::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: But there are a lot of people that don't realize that they do have a choice.
287
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: They think they're just like stuck in this situation.
288
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you might not know how to to exercise the decision that you're making. And again, somebody like Anna can give you the tools to figure that out.
289
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and it's not like she's going to tell you what to do. But she can tell you the questions
