My story

I'm Elena H. Antonovski, originally from Skopje, Macedonia, and currently creating and enjoying a life I love in Split, Croatia💦

I'm just a regular person that was lucky enough to be born into this beautiful world in a loving family. Having my family's love and support, I grew up to be bold and confident. With ease, I conquered every educational step all throughout university. And there I was, with a Law degree in my hand, a great job, justice on my side, and a head full of ideas, principles, and dreams. What could possibly go wrong, right?

I was young, life was beautiful in every aspect, everything seemed to unfold naturally and easily, and I felt on top of the world!

I was just about to solve all the world’s problems and literally save the people and the world, when suddenly, a lightning bolt struck. 

At just 23 years old, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a devastating chronic illness with no cure. In that moment, time stopped and everything changed.

I remember thinking, Why me? I don’t deserve this. I’m a good person. I’ve done nothing wrong.

I felt a vast darkness opening, a heavy feeling of despair. I was confused, lost, and helpless. My bright future, along with all my dreams seemed simply erased and gone forever, just like that, in a moment. 

And I felt like that for a long time. I didn’t know how to keep going, so I shrunk back and played it small, tiptoeing through life, just trying to survive and stay "normal".

🌟

I don't know how but I stayed positive, there was always a spark of light and faith that was alive within me. I did not just give up, I trusted that all will be good again. So I went on and started a new journey transmuting everything. I continued to work, learn, to grow, to heal and eventually I transformed. 

It was self-development work that helped me shift my mindset and way of being. Slowly but consistently I embraced a new way of life. Sure, a different, a slower one but a better, deeper and more expansive kind of life. The quality of being won over the quantity of doing✨

Many times it was hard, but I grew tougher and resilient. And one day, I made a difficult decision, I decided to let go of everything that was no longer in line with the life I wanted for myself and the life I knew I could have. I did choose that, despite the fact I was leaving behind the old me and the life I had lived for 40 years ... and four decades is a long time my friends!

🌟

I welcomed the new and took a brave step forward. I started from scratch: a new chapter, a new country, a new profession, and the same loving family, building a different kind of life. 

To summarize a very long story short, after numerous health struggles, a rushed & painful first marriage and many work and life sacrifices and compromises, here I am in my life today, finally where I want to be! 

And the feeling? Amazing!✨

I’ve embraced the real, authentic me. I love my life. I'm walking my Life Coaching journey. I’m happy, consider myself healthy, married to an amazing man, and the proud mom of an angelic son❤️ I feel so grateful for all these gifts.

🌟🌟🌟

So my life has been a rollercoaster, but I’ve learned so much. Now I am conscious and aware that life is not always flowers and butterflies. And that's ok, it doesn't need to be, because we can still choose to live it as though it is! 

Through patience, understanding, and above all, love and persistence, I’ve found my peace and joy. I’m grateful for both the blessings but also the lessons that shaped me. 

🌟

Now, I live with purpose, clarity, and balance. I know that no matter what challenges I face, I am in control. 

My life is what I make of it!

🌟And I am certain my friends, If I can do it, so can you, and I'm willing to help you get there!🌟
