Empress Empowered is a space where we take a deep dive into the true reasons for why things don't appear to be working out the way you wish they would, or believe they should. Somatic trauma informed coaching and healing is about addressing the root cause of your pain, no matter how deep and how long has it been in your life. Rather than just talk about what has been blocking you, we feel right through it, allow your body to process it and finally release it so that it no longer carries the emotional charge.

My name is Radka and my journey through life has taken me down a few trajectories that have truly shaped the person that I am today, Various childhood traumas, many years in narcissistic marriage, navigating single parenting of an autistic child with cPTSD while also caring for another, running my own business so that I do get to be with my children who were dealing with grief too.

There were times where I kept asking, why me? Why are things always happening to me? What have I done to deserve this? When will my life stop being so hard? And I kept waiting for someone to come and fix it. And even when there were times I seemed to be doing well, there was this void inside that nothing or nobody else could fill. I kept looking to others to make me feel better and no matter what was going well, that feeling would never leave. I would be in the room, I would be smiling and joining in, but all I could think is, how are all these people so happy when I feel so dead and empty inside? What am I doing wrong? I felt so self-conscious I couldn't start a conversation, dance or even laugh freely. And I blamed my marriage for turning me into someone I didn't even recognise. And I felt real physical pain at the thought that this is me, this is how I am going to be forever.

Until I suddenly understood. Nobody was coming to save me. I am the one who gets to fix it. I get to choose what my life looks like. I took charge and responsibility. And while I couldn't undo what had happened before, I understood I could take those lessons and experiences and create something worthwhile. The healing journey was hard and painful but oh, so worth it! Empowering myself to take charge of my destin, of my way of being and relating to others, has shown me just what I am capable of. Seeing how my own healing is having a positive impact on my children and a ripple effect in all my relationships, has given me a true sense of life purpose. Empowering others who are trying to find the ground under their feet has become my passion and my soul purpose.

It is my mission to guide you in finding yourself too, in creating healthy, meaningful, deeply connected relationships, to finding your passion and purpose, and most importantly, in letting you find joy in the simplest things in life, such as dancing like noone is watching. Because to me, that is the most beautiful part of my healing - from the girl who couldn't move for fear of what others might think of her, to this woman who's always the first one on the dance floor with a smile that's anchored in the deepest sense of self-worth and absolutely no care of what anyone thinks is the epitome of personal freedom. And I know that growing into that is there for you too.

With me, you learn how to do life like no-one is watching.
