Hello, my name is Aziz and I'm the son of a divorced mother, she is really my superhero. That's why it's important for me to support women to share their uniqueness, their personalities, perspectives and emotions about life. Too many women in this world feel alone. They worry about the judgment of others and they struggle with their mental health but when they listen to the Rare Girls podcast where empowered women share their voices and tell their stories, many women will feel inspired to live a life of freedom and to overcome all insecurities. They will feel it is a safe space to find their confidence to remember their unique beauty and to feel their self worth and they will connect with a sisterhood of Rare Girls who encourage their success and support their dreams. That's what this podcast is all about. My guest today is Monika Yatsak. Monika is the first girl from Poland in this podcast. She is a road trip addict and nature lover. Originally from Poland, she lives in London now for nearly six years. Mona does not have hobbies, she has passions. Her passions are traveling and dancing. Someone asked her once if she would have to choose between dancing and traveling, which one would she choose? Her heart stopped beating for a moment because she cannot imagine her life without both of them. Mona, how are you today? Hello, Az. I'm amazingly perfect. Like I always say, how are you? I feel blessed. I feel super positive, looking forward to know so much more about you. And I'll begin with this nice first question, which is, Mona, if your friends and the people who know you best could describe your personality, what would they say about you? Oh, I think that we should ask my friends. But to be honest, I think that I don't like this question, to be honest, because this is like saying about yourself how you want to be seen by other people. But what I can say that I'm definitely a crazy person, creative, independent, and I follow my dreams no matter what and my happiness. Yeah, I always smiling. They saying that, why are you always smiling? This is what they're saying. I love that. Thank you. I have so many questions, but I'll begin with your crazy side. You said you're a crazy person because I honestly believe that it's that crazy energy that can push women to follow their dreams and out of comfort zone and anxiety. So how does it feel when you are crazy? Is it ambition and desire for new emotions where you always crazy since little girl or you were shy and then you change yourself? Tell me a bit more about it. What do you see in the world that gives you permission to be crazy? Tell me a bit more about that. So, yeah, I would begin from my childhood. I was actually very, very shy, very shy, extremely shy. Many people would not even believe right now that I was so shy. I was even so shy. Then in Poland, when my mom and my mom asked me to go to the shop and buy a sausage and I went to the shop to buy a sausage, I seen people behind me in the queue. I just left. I didn't buy a sausage. I don't know, like some kind of things in my head. But anyway, yeah, I was bullied a lot when I was younger and when I was smaller in the primary school because I was bigger. When I'm in bigger, I was like a little bit more chubby. And the children, as we know, we cannot blame them for this, but they are cruel, like very cruel. So I was very bullied by this. And after I lost my way because, of course, I felt very insecure and I was like depressed about this. So I started losing the way and was right before going to I mean, we had this gymnasium right before after primary school and before high school. So we had this three years when I went there and I wasn't chubby anymore. But the kids, I mean, kids like younger children, right. They were making laugh of me because of my eyes, right. Because I have big eyes. So basically they were they were calling me frog all the time. Right. So I hated my eyes in this moment. So maybe there are small things. But if you are going through a lot from your childhood, right. And that was not only bullying, right. I had another and other things going on as well. But when you're going so far so much and you're trying to build your self confidence by yourself, even small things that people are picking on you is making you again going down right with all your small steps that you build through all of this year. Right. So but I went through right then was high school. High school was fine. I started to feel better, but I knew I think from high school that Poland is not the place where I want to be. Right. Because I didn't feel happy over there. I feel that this is not somewhere where I want to be. But I of course I didn't have money to travel because I'm not coming from family when we have a chicken on the table every day. Right. So basically I had to like when I was younger and on my summer I was working to buy the clothes for me. Right. I which I'm I'm not judging my mom at all for this because I love her and she is my hero too because she my father died as well when I was very, very young. I was like one month and my mom stayed with me and with my brother four years old by all by herself. Right. So I had to work and she had to do all what she could to maintain us. Right. So basically I cannot. So that's why maybe I become with years more independent. Right. Seeing how my mom is working very hard. Right. That she doesn't need actually the man in her life. Right. To be independent, powerful in herself. Right. So after all right. I got them when I was after high school. Right. I went to them. I went to the because I didn't know what what university choose. Right. I didn't want to go to university because everyone after high school went to the university. Right. I didn't want it because I didn't know what to choose. So basically I like to cut hair. I was playing with her even my friends, my mom. So I said, OK, let me do the technical two years of technical hard dresser. Right. So I get the name and my cousin, she lives in Milan. Right. And even even now. And I was like 20s. It was my 20s. And she asked me because she she came to punch you. She was in a pregnant. She was pregnant and she got the baby. And she asked me if I don't want to be a godmother. Right. But I said, yeah, of course, that's not a problem. Right. I'm very happy to do it. Right. And she said, I proposed me to go with her to Milan to live in Milan for two years. And then not three or three. I say two years. But to live in Milan and take care for of her of the of the little one is some kind of like au pair. Right. But it was in my family. And I was paying me like small money for this, but I have accommodation. I didn't have to be worried about food. Right. And I get to a new the culture. Right. Like new language, new culture. So basically when I went there, I didn't know even one word. Right. I didn't know how to say how to say good morning at all zero. I felt I remember because Italian are very loud. Right. Are very loud. So I feel like very little baby left in the middle of the street. Right. When all the people are around and are shouting at you. Right. So I was really, really scared in the beginning. And back in the days, Italians didn't speak English very well neither. I mean, still is some issue over there, but it's getting better. Right. It's getting better. But back in the days in this time, they didn't speak almost zero, like zero English. So it was very hard for me to communicate. So for a few months, like two months, three months, I had the classes. Right. But I cannot make conversation with someone when I'm saying like one, two, three, four, or good morning. Good night. How is your day? Right. So you cannot build any conversation. So basically I got a little bit depression over there because I'm very open person and I love like hanging out with people and be like, not. Now is a little bit different. But back in the day, like I had to be around the people, right? Like socialize, right. I talked a lot and do something right. And I couldn't over there because I was totally by myself. Like I had a child every single day, almost all day. Right. And that's it. Nothing else. Right. So basically with the time I started being really like crying without the reason, right. Being very down. I was even thinking to come back to Poland, right. And this stuff. But one day we were going all of us like my cousin, her husband and all of us and the little one we were like walking through them. I remember through the park and there was a Pueira. Right. And I was like, oh my God, I heard about a Pueira and I love it because it was like, I don't like like purple, like boxing and this sport. Right. But that was the capoeira is. We like it's connecting with dancing. Right. So that's why I like, oh, that would be amazing to try it. Right. And they say like, oh, no, it's no problem. You can go. Right. So they ask about everything. Right. We set up the meeting and this is my shyness as well because I was so shy to go over there by myself that the husband, my my cousin's husband has to go with me and has to do everything for me over there. I went with him, but I was so shy, like so shy. I was like little child, like imagine hiding behind his parents. Right. Like literally. So I start going there slowly, slowly again. Right. Because they were amazing. They start to opening me a little bit more. There was some people speak in speaking English as well. They helped me a lot with Italian. So my Italian start growing, growing, growing, growing. And there I start a little by little, like growing my confidence. Right. Like little by little. Then after two years, I decided to study Italian, Italian. Right. So I said, OK, this is the moment that I'm ready. I know what to do. I want to do. And I want to study Italian. So I decided to come back to Poland because I think that I wasn't ready yet to leave my country for so long. Even I wanted. Right. But all my friends and all my family, it was literally back there. So I went back to Poland and I start studying. And between all of this, I meet. I start working because I was studying during weekends. So during the weekdays, I had to work to pay for my university. So it was like Italian markets in Warsaw. Right. Italian markets. And I found it like I found it on job interviews that I looking for people, Polish people speaking like Italian or English, like whatsoever. So I spoke Italian, right. And Polish. Right. And above that, plus a little bit English. So I start to go in there and I started going there and I met the people, of course, the Italian people. Right. And they said, hey, do you want to go? Do you want to go with us for the trip? Right. Because after Warsaw, they were going to other countries. Right. And I was like, but I start just work as well in the Italian company. So in this moment, I work in my dream company, like Italian company, where I was looking for a job exactly like this one. I can use my language. And I said, oh, my God, what I'm going to do in this moment, right? Because I have so big opportunity. But my heart, literally, I mean, like my guts, let's say like this, right. My guts, no, my heart was telling me go. Right. My brain was saying like, don't be silly because you just started everything here, which I had a boyfriend. Of course, I had a job, a very good job. And I was continue study. Right. But I got a feeling that I have to do it. Right. I just have to do it. When you have to do something, you just know that you have to do it. So basically, I said to them, give me some time. I need to figure it out some stuff. Right. Because I needed to talk. And I was like, to be honest, boyfriend was the smallest issue in this. Right. I mean, we have anyway, we between us had some issues going on. So that was very easy decision for me. But anyway, the worst was, I think, the job. Right. So which I was like surprised because my boss said to me, go, like, literally, I was like, what? And he said, go. He said, like, if I would be on your position, I will go as well. I will not even think just go follow your dream. Just go. And he said that he was beautiful working with you. If you come back, also ever just you can contact me because you are amazing. But go like literally. So I was like, oh, my God, thank you. And everything at school as well. And I'm university. They said there is no big problem. Right. Because I can do stuff online. And I was trying to come back to do the most important exams. And then was in the end was everything fun because I went with with India and I went with them for a trip. Right. And I was away like for three months, I think it was an easy job. Right. Because literally you were working almost almost every day. If you were not traveling, you are working every day. We were wake up at five in the morning because that was out the door, out the door market. Right. So five in the morning, wake up, we had to set up everything and we were working till 10 11 at night. Right. So it was exhausting. But in the same time, it taught me a lot. Right. It taught a lot about myself. Right. And the places where I've seen as well. That was just amazing. And I think that this where slowly I start to love traveling and I wanted more and more and more and more slowly. Right. That is like started like I get a small injection in my blood. Right. And so after all, after all, I remember I went again, come back. But with my boyfriend, because of course I met the guy on this market. So we we were together and I came back to Italy together. I left. I lived there for maybe around two years, but I couldn't find a job. OK. I start consuming all my money without any income. So basically, as well, was very hard for Italians find a job. So what about me if I am not native speaker? Right. What I have to say. So I said to my ex-boyfriend that or I'm going to hang out, hang myself here, like literally, because I'm going down with depression because he was working. I couldn't find a job. So I said, or me or I'm coming back to Poland. Right. So for me, it's easy because I couldn't do any anything else. So he said, like, no, come back to Poland. If you feel like this, you need to come back to Poland because he couldn't leave his job. So I said, OK, I packed my stuff. So I came back to Poland. I work in Poland for one year because straight away I found a job in Italian company again, straight away. And I start working there. I think it was around February. And I remember the November or October I went for a few days to London, literally a few days. And I came to London and I remember the moment when I get a bus from the airport to the city center, Victoria, and I went out from the bus on Victoria station. I feel some devil coming, like positive devil, of course, coming into my body and saying, like, you are staying here. Right. So like literally after two months after two months when I came back to Poland, I closed again everything in Poland, everything. And I do the documents where I need to come here. Right. So basically I start out pairing over here in London. So January, January 10th, I came 2018. I came here, London to leave. So I came over here and I start out there job. And funny story, because that was my last month, because back then I was 29 when I came here and I was born February. Right. And the au pair I could do with this company only till 29 years old. I mean, I couldn't have 30s anymore. So it was like literally everything on the last line, last night. So yeah, this is how I start here in London. The au pair stuff. So it's different when you live with your family comparing when you live with strangers. Right. So they were they wanted to use me about this, what they were paying me. Right. Because I came with agency. Okay. So we had contracts. So they paying me this, this, this for this hour. And I'm doing this, this, this. Right. So basically they starting me using me too much. Right. And me to cook for our family, which I don't mind. Right. But this is not our agreement because I was taking very little money. Okay. They giving you accommodation and some food. Okay. But we were agreed to some things. Right. I'm fair. So you supposed to be fair too. There after is the starting. I mean, of course, for kids, I was cooking anyway. There are kids. I'm not gonna tell the parents, you know, like I'm not gonna cook for kids. Give me some money. Right. This is completely different, but they wanted as well to cook for them. Right. And then after the hours were changing. So basically I had some plans because I supposed to finish, let's say at six. Right. But they were coming back seven, eight, sometimes nine. Right. Without even saying a word. I had plans after because I started dancing as well. So basically I, after two months, I said, I mean, no, I said, I asked the mom. So basically what we're doing, because I don't mind doing all the stuff, what you need, right? And hours and everything. But I would like to be, uh, have more, uh, more money with this. Right. Because, uh, I mean, uh, let's, let's be fair. So yeah, so I left the, I left the family because they were using me and they, uh, they didn't want to pay me more in the end. So I left the family and here where the issues started in London. Right. So, uh, I'm just saying that I'm, I came to London, uh, just because of dancing, because from a very long time, I feel like dancing is my other passion. So like something that I want to do, uh, because dancing, um, is actually, um, giving you being free as you are traveling. And I have the same strong feeling when I travel and when I dance, because you are free. This is totally freedom. You are free from thoughts. You are free from stress. You are free from everything you connect with the music and you are yourself, you know, you forgetting about all the bad stuff that is happening through the day, through the, through the, uh, years, weeks, months, whatever is happening. That's why I want to people start dancing because this is the best therapy for your soul, for your body, for your mind, for everything. Everything is the best therapy and it's cheaper, cheaper than you go to the actually, um, uh, proper therapy therapy. And trust me, that's why I want to like start teaching people, uh, dancing, give them the same vibe where I have because dancing helped me a lot in my life. As I said before, um, I was very shy. I was very, I was so shy that you guys cannot even imagine. So funny story because I danced Latin Latin dance, right? And I was very much into bachata dance very much. I was crazy about bachata dance. So of course, when I came to London, I was all by myself. I didn't have friends. I didn't have nobody. So I found this place in Camden town. Um, when I started dancing, so they were doing the courses, right? So the imagine the room, imagine very long room, right? And the in the beginning, when you have entrance is the lady is charging you for a ticket, right? You paying for the ticket and chronologically is like salsa beginners. Okay. Uh, close to the lady where is taking the payments, right? Is a group of salsa beginners after is another group, uh, the same, uh, room, right? Uh, another group of salsa advanced. And after is bachata, uh, beginners and bachata advance and the room was long. So imagine me being so shy, I pay for the classes and I've seen that I have to go through all of these people to go to bachata. I said, no, I'm staying with salsa because it's right close to the entrance. Right? So, uh, imagine me learning like learning salsa and hearing, uh, after music, bachata music, my heart was literally crying inside, crying inside, like literally, but, uh, next week I did the same, the same. I went to the salsa, but after this, I said, this is enough. This is literally enough. I cannot do it anymore. And I have to find strength in myself, uh, to, to go to this bachata and actually to go through all of these people, because, you know, like in Poland, I'm not, I don't know about other countries yet, how they are really inside, but in Poland, we want to be too perfect. Right? So basically if we are not good in something like good, that we are confident with this, we're not going to open. So basically my English wasn't very good. Okay. I was really scared that people gonna start talking to me. Right. And I'm, uh, I'm not going to understand them. Right. And I'm going to say something silly or I don't, I don't say nothing and they're going to make fun of me. This is as well what I had in my, uh, childhood, right? When I was bullied by other people, right? Because I started being very close and everything, what people were saying, negative about me or, uh, or a situation like this one, make me really scared and close. Right. So what I'm saying the third week, right back into my dance and third week I said, this is enough, right? And what's going to be is going to be, I came here for dancing, right? If I'm going to make friends, that's fine. If I'm not going to make friends, I'm going to find with this as well. But what I came for is just a dancing, right? And this is where is, uh, I'm gonna, um, keep going with. So third week, I went to Baczata and it didn't hurt at all. Uh, so I started Baczata over there, right? I started Baczata. Uh, but I didn't make any socializing yet, right? Because I did the classes and I was, uh, uh, originally running away, uh, to back home. Right. Um, but after time, after time, after time, I started because it was of course, uh, in London is like this, that's, uh, other, other countries as well. It's like you have classes and after classes you have party. So basically after time I started to go into the party as well, uh, after classes because they were asking me, Hey, are you coming with us? No. So I said, Oh, okay. Okay. So I was starting going to the party. So, um, I started there. Uh, I remember myself even now when I start, I was like, I couldn't even look into the guy eyes when we were dancing. I was looking down on my feet. I couldn't even open myself. I wasn't smiling at all, you know, like literally. Um, that was so hard. That was so hard. I was like so out of my comfort zone. Um, that only people shy as me can understand that. Um, how, how strength and how, uh, energy, how energy it cost me to do it. Like I was literally exhausted, like mentally as well. Right. Mentally exhausted to fight with all of this. But a part of this, I was enjoying as well. Right. Because I finally did what I wanted to do. So yeah, in the end, and I'm in, and so basically, uh, I didn't have a lot of money, right? As I said, because it was very, very little. So, uh, when I moved out from them, uh, actually one of the friend from the, uh, dancing, he helped me and he said, okay, you can stay, uh, in my room for some time. Um, until you're not gonna find a job, right? And you're not gonna find your own room. Okay. So basically this is the problems I had some savings from Poland, right? But the Polish what compared to a British pound is like a ha ha ha. So I had some savings, but my savings was like literally, uh, like this. So I started in this moment as well, having some, uh, issue with, uh, my health. Uh, so everything at once, right? Uh, I didn't have my room. I had to be in one small room with my friend, right? Uh, after I did, then, uh, I couldn't find a job. I had problem with my health. So literally that was like the worst. Uh, I think one of the worst moments in my life. Right. So, um, but honestly I could come back to Poland, right? This is not that I didn't have house and I couldn't come back home and be safe. Right. But I said, no, like literally I'm not gonna run from the problems, right? I'm gonna face them. Even it's very hard. And to be honest, like I'm saying that dancing, dancing was keeping me alive over there and make me fight for my dream because I said, I came here for dancing because when I come back to Poland where I'm gonna have nothing, even I will be have safe home, safe life, but I have nothing because I'm not happy over there. Right. So I was fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting. Um, uh, I, uh, I start to take medication. So I gained the way because my medication was very strong, right? Because I had a serious issues over there. So medication was very strong. So I gained the way. So my self-covid confidence, um, went down again, right? But I found a job, thanks God. And I found a job, uh, and was in Salah bar because I've been looking everywhere where I could. Plus the problem was, uh, that I didn't have yet my, uh, bank account and to open your bank account, uh, you had to have your address, which I didn't have my, uh, address. So the problem were all, all the time around, right? Um, in the end, my friend who helped me, she, she said, you can use my, um, my address. And then after, when you find your, your, your place, you can change it, right? In a, because that was important for me to have this back account because a lot of, uh, workplaces that didn't want to hire me because I didn't have a bank account because they were sending money straight on a bank account. So this, this was another problem. But finally, when I opened this, the bank account, I find the job in Salah bar. After time I found my first, uh, first room. It wasn't the best one. Uh, but I was happy because I could have my own space, right? It was very small room. I had just a bed, small, uh, wardrobe and a small, really tiny desk. And that's it. And I remember in the beginning, I didn't have even money yet because I had to pay for the rent and for them, uh, for the deposit, right? So basically when I started working and there were some Polish people, so, uh, they helped me. I mean, they borrow me money, right? To pay for the deposit and for first two weeks of the rent, because the guy said, you're not moving in if you're not going to pay me. And I didn't have this money. Right? So basically they borrow me this money. Of course, after every, uh, salary that I get, I was giving back because I hate having some debits on my, uh, um, in my head. I just hate it. Uh, but there was a time that I, uh, because I had the bed just mattress, right? So I didn't have even money to buy any pillow, uh, any, um, blanket or a forget about Dubai. Right? So I was sleeping under my coat without anything else for some long time. Uh, to the point that one of my friend and my job, because she said we were like, um, I'm close to each other. And the one day when she was off, I was working, she came to work from the omega. I'm going to cry once. She came from primary and she bought me the, um, uh, pillow and the, um, do away and she gave it to me. I tell you, she, Oh my God. So, uh, that was really, uh, I didn't know, but it is something like this makes me so happy. Yeah. Uh, but this and, um, still, uh, right. Uh, because when you work in solid bar, I was like the little money having like the little money you have the lowest salary that you have. So still you, you cannot afford a lot of stuff. Right. Uh, but I was so, um, I wanted to learn dancing so much, so much that I was spending literally all my money for classes and for dancing. Uh, even I was the time that I was eating just plain rice because I didn't have money even to, uh, to eat, uh, to buy it. I don't know, like a vegetables, right? Don't forget about chicken or meat, right? So, um, I was eating plain rice because this is what I could afford at the moment. Um, but I was literally very, um, even after classes or party, I was coming back home and I was, uh, exercising, exercising, exercising, exercising, dancing, dancing, building my self-confidence, uh, a lot like, um, funny or not. But I think that after maybe one and a half year, I start looking at the mirror in my face when I was dancing. Uh, because when I was dancing in front of mirror, I was looking just, uh, on my hands or my legs, but never, uh, my face, right? Never in my eyes. Like I was ashamed of myself, right? And I don't know why, because, uh, I didn't do nothing, you know, in my life to be ashamed of, but I think the all the situation, like my low self-confidence and everything where I came from, make me not looking in my face in the mirror. So that was a big step as well for me, you know, to start looking at myself at the mirror, like I'm proud of myself, right? I'm proud where I am right now because I started going for the festival. I changed my job, right? So from salad bar, I went to the Italian restaurant when, uh, salary was better, right? But I was working very hard over there. So basically what I was doing as well, I was working there for 11, 12 hours, sometimes 13 hours. And after like all the shifts, I was running because I, my house was very close to this job. I could like run. I was reaching, I'm not joking. I was running from the ha from there to my house, have a shower, a quick shower. I was thinking my stuff and I was going to dance. Even if I dance two hours before a part on the party, it was fine for me. And next day I have to wake up in the morning and go to the work. And they were like all the time, uh, asking me how you doing it because I was never late as well. And I was working, right? And I was doing my job very, very well. And they said, like, always like how you manage to survive like this, because that was happening like three, four times a week. Right? So initially I was really, um, into it. I said, like, I'm going to learn and I'm going to be like, uh, the best for myself, right? That till I'm going to feel that yes, this is the point that I'm feeling very good. Right. And then after the moment, exactly when I start looking actually to the people face when I was dancing, right? So this was the another, um, myself growing, right? Myself confidence growing when I was seeing the face of people, like when I've been dancing. So I started smiling, right? And they were smiling back. So I've seen when even the person didn't smile at all. And I was giving them a very good vibe. And the, this, this positive energy from me, I've seen that they were changing, right? They were opening as well. The eyes were smiling, right? So basically, and then I was doing it more and more often, right? More and more often. And just like I'm giving like no matter which is, if it's beginner, if it's like, uh, advanced, wherever level you are, I'm giving all the time, the same level of energy, right? Um, because all of us, everyone was there and the people now where they are advanced, they forgot about it, that they started as well. And they were like doing one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight all the time. And they sit, right? So some of them, there are two push and I have this rule exactly in the dancing because for me, when we, when we're talking about new people, right? And new gentlemen, if it's gonna ask, if it's around, I never asked no one to dance, right? Because for me, the gentleman supposed to ask the lady to dance, right? Maybe it's old school way of thinking, but this is how I, how I think. I'm not saying about my friends, they are already dance and I'm just grabbing their hands and we dancing, right? But if I'm in the festival, dancing festival, whatsoever, I never ask for a dance. But in the same time, I never say no, because I know that it's hard for people to ask for the dance and it's really hard and painful to being reject, right? Well in the dance floor, right? Because I've been rejecting the beginning as well many times, many times, because I, when I asked in the, I, it happened maybe three times that I asked for a dance in the beginning because I remember my friends, they said, you need to ask people for dance because you never gonna dance. You need to ask for the dance. You never gonna dance. And I've done it maybe three times and I stopped and I said, I never, I, I'm gonna see, I'm gonna watch people. I'm gonna watch people how they dance. I'm gonna listen to the music. I'm gonna relax like this. I'm gonna learn like this as well. I said, I'm never gonna ask again, nobody about dancing. For me, like I'm gonna stick to my rules and that's why I never reject people when they asking me to dance. Whatever, if they are just, just the first classes they did, right? Always for me is the same energy, always the same energy I'm giving. So till the point, then now they're sometimes queuing to dance with me. So as you see from my story, it is possible to build your confidence by yourself and to believe in yourself. You don't need other people, you know, to believe in you. You don't need other people to tell you that you are amazing. You know, like you're not gonna, because even when the people gonna tell you that you are amazing, okay, but this is opinion other people, right? The most, what is important is your own opinion about yourself. So if you believe truly that you are amazing, you are amazing and you're gonna be amazing, you know, like do to yourself, right? Because the mirror is not gonna lie, right? Do this to yourself, like stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in your eyes and say you are amazing. If you can do it, trust me, you truly believe it that you are amazing. If you cannot do it, just you need to work very hard, very hard, very, very hard on your self-confidence. But I believe in every single person that he can, she, he can do it. I believe it because I'm looking myself back in the days and I will never say myself that now I will be in the situation that I'm right now and what I achieved, right? Because I didn't give up, because I believe that I can make it. Maybe I didn't believe in myself. I believe that I can make it, right? And it was nobody, literally trust me guys, like nobody to tell me I'm proud of you. Nobody to tell me you can make it, nobody. I had to manage everything by myself and build this confidence all by myself, right? So basically I'm here, you know, my Instagram as well, thanks to others, you can contact me guys and I'm here as well to help you to, as I can even like to talk, make short talk if you need it, right? Because I know sometimes very hard to open, but if someone is having the same story as you, it's a little bit different. So I'll be happy to do it. Thank you so much, Mona. I am proud of you. I believe you'll make it and all your dreams will come true. I wish you to keep dancing and sharing the happiness of dance with the world. And thank you so much for being in this podcast.
