Hey friends!
Ever wonder what happens when your dreams come true? What's next? Well, on this episode, I'm excited to share with you the end of a chapter in my life and a prayer I had over 8 years ago. Join me, your host Ekaterina Popova, in a personal update and solo episode of Art & Cocktails.
I'll take you through my journey of navigating multiple exhibitions and deadlines while balancing my health and business. I'm truly grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way.
During this episode, I'll share candid insights as I reflect on the concluding chapter of my manifestation journey (for now). What was once a distant dream has now become a reality, but it's evolving into new aspirations.
Let's delve into my personal revelations about success, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness. I'm redefining my path with a renewed focus on space, freedom, and authenticity.
And as we look to the future, I'll reveal my plans, including taking a sabbatical from exhibitions to prioritize personal growth. I'll be diving into coaching programs, journaling, and reconnecting with nature and my art practice.
Thanks for joining me on this journey of reflection and growth. Can't wait to share more with you!
