Gentle But Radical Self Love - My Conversation with Kasia Kolek

Women Over 50 - A Life Redesigned

In today’s episode of Women Over 50, Life Redesigned, I have with me Kasia Kolek. Kasia helps sensitive, warm-hearted, and empathetic women in their 40s and 50s build their emotional strength, self-confidence and authenticity so that they can fall back in love with themselves and create life and relationships they love and feel proud of. Kasia has also been the founder of the SPARKUP Method which connects cutting edge discoveries in psychology and neuroscience with the transformative power of breathwork, meditation and mindfulness.

In this episode, Kasia shares with us her story about growing up with grandparents who have survived the Holocaust, how this impacted the way she is currently working with women, and how we should love ourselves and aspire to be our own version of a “happy thriving woman.” I hope you find inspiration from this episode and make sure to stay tuned until the end for my final thoughts.
