Nellah was born in a small town in Central Slovakia.  She always excelled in academic and extracurricular activities, listened to her parents, and strived to conform to societal rules and labels.  Her passion was dance and, by the age of sixteen, she was managing her own dance group and leading personal and group training.  Later in life, she was mesmerized by spirituality, and, with the guidance of a psychologist, she began practicing various techniques including meditations, breath work, Holotropic breathing, and energy work.  After the fall of communism, she decided to try her luck and enter the world of big money, the entertainment industry.  She traveled to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and Japan and gradually became a dancer in gentlemen’s clubs where she stumbled into a life of substance abuse, trauma, and superficiality.  After a near-death experience, she made a sudden decision to leave the industry.  To survive and pull herself out of the darkness, she seized an opportunity to relocate to the United States, intending to change her life.  She worked through the language barrier and speech difficulties to complete a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology, constantly transforming and improving herself.   Over the years, she has done significant mental and spiritual work by herself and with her clients, mostly focusing on victims and perpetrators of crimes.  She practices various psychological methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and flooding.  The lack of spirituality led her to start a coaching practice where she combines a therapeutic approach with meditation, breath, and energy work.  After years in the mental health field, she realized that her biggest asset is her and her approach to people, not the methods she mastered.  She loves people, the regular and the edgy ones.   Her biggest passion is writing.  It comes naturally to her-she just has to take a pen and write.  She writes everything, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or movie scripts.  In her writings, she often discusses sensitive topics that are mostly considered taboos.  Her book “A Stripper:  From Japan Through Switzerland Into the Deepest Secrets of Her Soul” paints a picture of the reality of the entertainment industry as it pertains to club dancing and sex work.  It is her memoir that represents thousands of untold stories of women and men in the industry.  The book transports a reader to the seedy environment of nightclubs, overflowing with promiscuous entertainment outlets, dark corners of erotic manifestations, and the superficiality of it all.  It is not just a sensational expose of a young woman gone astray, it also touches upon sexism and societal pressure which manipulates women into these precarious roles. The story sheds light on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes that develop as a result of this type of work and reveals traumatic experiences that go hand in hand with substance abuse.  Most of all, it unveils the rotten core of the industry that benefits from the oppression and degradation of women and men.  A place, where money is more than human life and people are treated as commodities.  Nellah clearly shows the mental, emotional, and physical damage caused by this line of work and offers guidance on the way out because transformation is possible.  She questions the sole purpose of the industry and its tremendous impact on the whole society. A system that causes damage to people who can be sold, beaten, raped, or killed simply should not exist.  Together we can make a better world for future generations, a world where human life is valued more than money.   https://www.facebook.com/nella.mrazic?mibextid=ZbWKwL  https://youtube.com/@talkaboutit9846  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYC54YM5  [email protected]  https://nellahmx.wixsite.com/nellahmx

The Importance of Doing the Thing Putting the 'do' in doing the thing isn't about mere execution. It's about stepping into one's unique potential and making choices that help bring us closer to our goals. Too often, we get wrapped up in checking off items on our to-do lists that we forget to wonder if those actions align with our objectives. Once we find our calling, own up to it, and then start working toward it, the quality of what we produce changes drastically. The satisfaction it brings is unparalleled, as it combines passion with purpose.   The enthusiasm in Nancy's voice as she delved into her philosophy of 'doing the thing' was palpable. She empathized with the fact that many are just going through the motions without living their authentic lives. Nancy exposed her journey of leaving a corporately successful career to chase her ultimate aspiration of empowering women, an endeavor sparked by a tragic event in her life.   Her fervor in wanting listeners to identify their callings, be responsible for their corresponding whys, and take actionable steps to move forward was not just inspiring, but refreshingly genuine.   Connect with Nancy Medoff: Nancy’s Do The Thing Retreat On Cape Cod: Early Bird pricing ENDS NEXT WEEK so learn more and⁠ **apply here.**⁠ https://nancymedoff.com/do-the-thing/ Nancy: http://www.nancymedoff.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ OWN YOUR WHY ⁠https://bit.ly/ownyourwhy⁠

JOIN THE PRE-LAUNCH PARTY   From Silence to Strength: Unleashing Your True Potential by Uncovering Your Why   In the depths of despair, where self-identity seemed lost at sea, I discovered an unforeseen revelation that changed everything. It was a lifeline, a glimmer of hope amidst the treacherous waters of uncertainty. I realized the power of our stories, how they can save us and guide others. But little did I know, this newfound understanding was just the beginning of a journey that would unravel the depths of my true purpose...   It's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to show up like a hot mess express. - Jennifer Dragonette   Finding Your Voice In a world bombarded with voices clamoring for attention, finding your unique voice can feel like a daunting task. It's not just about being heard—it's about being understood, respected, and valued. Your voice is deeply intertwined with your "why"—the compelling reason that fuels your passion and motivates your actions. It's the energy that infuses every word you speak and every action you take. Jennifer’s journey towards unearthing her voice was a powerful revelation. All these years, she had been suppressing her true voice in order to fit into the societal mould. But podcasting and penning her book, Your Story is Someone's Life Raft, gave her the platform to reclaim her voice and her worth. Jennifer inspired her listeners to not just find their voice, but to own it—boldly and unapologetically. She glowed when talking about the 'why' behind her book, proving that strong, passionate voices can and do lead to meaningful connections and transformations. Your story, regardless of how big or small, is a beacon of hope for somebody else, is someone else's life raft. - Jennifer Dragonette   REFERENCES:  Nancy at Unmute Yourself the PODCAST
