Ludmila also provides a wide array of techniques and ways to calm down your anxiety by tapping into your senses – be it dancing to great music, tasting a feel-good food to enhance your mood, or smelling an evocative scent that brings you to specific nostalgic moments. So, turn your panic into power by tuning in on this episode. Let your mind, body, and soul connect with that state of calmness and peace that you truly deserve with Ludmila today!

QUOTABLES:
“If you are in fight-flight, meaning sympathetic nervous system response — that response is activated within your body, it will be very hard for you to have calming/supportive type of thoughts that can give you some kind of solutions for what you are really facing.”
“In this process of working with anxiety and understanding anxiety, you need to get out from your head and get into your body first – learning how to feel and sense. What are the sensations that I'm feeling in my chest? What are the sensations I'm feeling in my throat? I always advise you to close your eyes.”

This podcast continues to open my eyes to growth opportunities in my interpersonal relationships, and more importantly the self-love / boundaries that I struggle to create. Episodes help me discover where my work is in a loving way. It’s worth listening to on repeat on my commute and then again when I can take notes and share with others (including my kids). I have not had the opportunity to work with Ludmila… yet.
Amazing Coach & Podcast!!! 💕 Everyone Needs A Ludmila In Their Lives.
I had the pleasure to see her at a woman’s event and she changed my life with one speech. I’ll forever hold her words deep in my heart and remember her lessons and teachings to us. I can’t wait to physically start working with her here in Tampa, Fl. I’ve seen people I know whole life transformed after working with her and this podcast is life changing.
Where do I even begin? Ludmilla and I paths initially crossed for me to learn how to stop being a people pleaser, set boundaries and learn to graciously receive. Little did I know what a profound impact she would have on my life. We have now been working together for over 6 months on healing my past traumas, discovering my triggers, regulating my nervous system, learning healthy conflict, learning how to communicate my wants & feelings with my husband without exploding or avoidant tendencies and so so much more. My relationships with family and friends have all improved. Ludmilla is such a breath of fresh air and wealth of knowledge. I genuinely look forward to our weekly meetings and discover more about myself each time. She has broken down walls I didn’t even realize were built and is helping me become the wife, mother, friend and business owner that I have always envisioned. Her podcast is a gift to us all 💖
