I know what it's like to be in the room, smiling, joining in, yet feeling a vast void inside.

To look at other people laughing freely and wonder what you're doing wrong.

To be so self-conscious you couldn't start a conversation, couldn't dance, couldn't laugh without watching yourself do it.

To feel like somewhere along the way, you lost the person you were supposed to be and you're not even sure she existed in the first place.

I spent years waiting for someone to come and fix it.

Nobody came. And the day I finally understood that nobody was coming, that I was the one who got to fix it,

was the day everything changed.

My name is Radka.

I'm a Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, somatic hypnotherapist, EFT practitioner, IFS informed healer,

and founding brand partner of The Mental Wellbeing Company.

I'm also someone who has been through childhood trauma, a narcissistic marriage, single parenting an autistic child with complex PTSD,

and the particular kind of grief that comes from watching your children suffer and knowing your own unhealed wounds are part of why.

I'm not telling you that to impress you or to perform vulnerability.

I'm telling you so that you know that when you sit with me, you're not sitting with someone who learned about this from a textbook. You're sitting with someone who has been in the depths of it... the kind of depths where you genuinely wonder if the emptiness is just who you are. And I found the way back.

And I know, with absolute certainty, that the way back exists for you too.

What happened to you made complete sense.

The patterns you keep repeating. The relationships that feel familiar in all the wrong ways.

The exhaustion of holding it together while something underneath keeps asking is this really it?

None of that is character flaw. None of that is permanent. All of it has a root which is almost always older than you think,

quieter than you remember, and more workable than it currently feels.

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 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!

It is my mission to guide you to finding yourself too, in creating healthy, meaningful, deeply connected relationships, to finding your passion and purpose, and most importantly, to 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 the 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.
