I call it a journey with Goda – an eight-month journey that opened up my deepest fears, beliefs, wounds, and talents. Eight months ago, I invited Goda for coffee – I was lost, exhausted, carrying anxiety inside me, full of doubts about my job, my activities, self-realization, and relationships.
The first sessions were hesitant, as I am quite reserved and truly didn’t believe I would open up as much as I did. The atmosphere Goda created, her listening and responsiveness, gave me a strong sense of trust. After that came sessions filled with tears and learning to see more clearly what was happening inside me, allowing myself to listen, understand, and support myself. Later, the sessions became brave and healing, full of insights, answers, understanding, and discoveries. And now the sessions have become filled with smiles, discussions of achieved goals, and a greater inner freedom. The worries, fears, and beliefs I carried from childhood have become smaller and much easier to deal with.
All the sessions led toward variety – sometimes just through conversation, sometimes simply through being heard, and other times through visualizations that helped me see which fears were holding me back, and where and how I would like to be and feel happy. Breathing exercises also helped, showing me how the mind calms down and the chaos of thoughts bursts like soap bubbles, leaving a sense of peace inside. Goda’s way of guiding the sessions – when one story replaces another and I lose track of the topic I wanted to explore – allows us to return perfectly to the beginning, and within that same session, find an answer to worrisome situations or questoins.
Looking back at those eight months, I can say – wow, how much everything has changed: my perspective on relationships, my view of my own possibilities, my courage, determination, and my attitude toward work. I am not only grateful to Goda now – I will remain grateful for the rest of my life and will continue this journey with her.

I came with questions and doubts — why I was going, how/if/for whom this would change my situation and the stage of life I’m in. Over time, a lot changed: everything became interesting and sparked curiosity, I gained the opportunity to see myself not only through my own eyes but also through another person’s perspective, and I touched on things I hadn’t paid attention to before. I realized that it’s possible to set boundaries with patience and without pain or hurting anyone.
The biggest impact came from moments and tasks related to commitment to myself — when I would set a goal to complete something by a certain date. It was also important to tell another person that from now on things would be a certain way, and then stick to it (even when I sometimes wanted to break my own word).
This is a very broad question ☺️, but I’m most proud of my curiosity, my ability to listen, and to stay in opposition to someone else’s opinion (even if I actually agree with them) in order to see things from a wider perspective. What changed is that I started paying more attention to my feelings — what they are and why they arise.
I try not to run away from them or ignore them anymore, but instead to invite them in. Like a small child putting a pebble in their mouth and exploring it, I explore my feelings in the same way ☺️
I would describe the experience of working together simply — You should definitely go for it!!! Communication is easy and flowing, BUT it also takes effort to open up — and that’s why I went: to stir things up and even let in rays of sunlight so the shadows could retreat. After every session, I took something valuable with me.
What surprised me the most was the calmness, patience, attentiveness, and focus.

We started working with Goda as with a professional product owner. Gradually, our meetings shifted from the product itself to the process of creating it, from the product creation process - to me, until eventually they came to encompass all three aspects.
A sense of calm and greater awareness entered the process, as we gently examined each of its components. And although the progress was my own, it was a huge gift to have someone beside me who could truly hear my process, with whom I could discuss my thoughts, and who also understands the practical side of what I’m talking about — both the business and the inner dimension. Having a supportive companion next to you, without the urge to influence your decisions with their own ideas, leaving space for yours, is invaluable.
I believe Goda’s experience working with product development projects is extremely valuable, because it gives you the opportunity to speak with someone who understands the aspects of the creation process and can remain objective. It allows you to review your ideas and obstacles more quickly, while also having someone who creates and holds space for you to expand further — to look more deeply into your desires and dreams, what you truly want to create, not just the pragmatic execution of a goal. I think this journey became more interesting, richer, and more fulfilling for me as a woman and as a person.
Thank you for holding this space!

I came with specific challenges — I struggled to plan my working hours, to adapt to remote work from home, and I constantly felt unheard in my team, often interrupted when I spoke.
What helped most during our work together were small, concrete steps — for example, setting up my workspace the night before. It sounds simple, but those kinds of practical tools were what helped me settle into a new rhythm. A significant moment came when I discovered a deep-rooted belief that people don't listen to me because of my age, and realized how much that belief was holding me back. That was a turning point that changed a great deal.
Today, I'm PROUD to say I've gained more confidence in myself.
To a friend considering reaching out to a coach, I would say: it's support and the chance to see yourself from the outside — through someone else's eyes.
What surprised me most was that we were in ease the whole time. Goda is someone it's easy to open up to.

At this point in my life, I am quite exhausted and, as a result, scattered. Goda’s ability to grasp the essence of what I want to convey, to distill it, and to bring me back to what matters most—especially when I would unintentionally drift into other, unrelated topics—was extremely valuable during this session. I felt not only heard, but also accepted in the situation I am currently in, which became our starting point. The open questions, tailored to my position and circumstances, allowed me to discover solutions that I had not been able to clearly name on my own before. I came in without even knowing what exactly was burning the most and demanding attention right now, and I left with a clear action plan and an understanding of what result I want to achieve with it. The session with Goda was empowering, gave me a sense of clarity, and helped turn my current scatteredness from an excuse into inspiration to take real action.
I also really liked that the questions guided by Goda not only helped me find answers to the questions that arose, but also encouraged reflection and the discovery of causal links between some of my recurring habits that keep holding me back again and again. The well-placed emphasis in the questions allowed me to see the situation and my reactions from an observer’s perspective and to evaluate what repeatedly does not work in that situation. A very rich and meaningful session.

It’s simply good - very good - to communicate, to share, and to receive support. Thank you, Goda

Of all the experiences I’ve had, this session was the strongest for me. Thank you for your engagement—it was very clear that the structure was being held and that you deeply delved into my situation.

Overall, Goda has a great deal of insight in her eyes and a sense of acceptance, which created a light, comfortable feeling of being myself.

I felt safe sharing my thoughts, and it was pleasant to talk. I feel calmer, and it seems that the situation is becoming clearer.
