I was ever the outsider. The odd one out.
The black sheep in my family of origin.
The only girl in my childhood circle of friends.
In school, the tomboy.
In my hometown in post-communist Bulgaria—a closeted queer.
Always different. Ever not fitting in.
I felt deeply alone and unseen, in ways I didn’t understand back then.
People came together, connected, laughed.
They seemed to share a common something.
A common way of being that I was a stranger to.
I was in the middle of the room, feeling like the outsider, looking in.
The story continued later in my life.
The loneliness engulfing more and more of me.
The foreigner in foreign countries. With the people I worked with. With my friends.
Ever the outsider.
But most of all — an outsider to myself.
This was the insight that shifted everything.
It wasn’t other people that I was a stranger to. I was a stranger to myself.
I was longing to belong with who I was.
To meet myself, beyond all the stories and attachments, with the intimacy of raw honesty.
To know how I really was, in the core of my being.
And when I did, things began shifting.
I started finding the answers and approval within, not from other people.
I stopped ignoring the screams of my intuition and followed its lead.
Sharper clarity and confidence in my discernment and decisions.
Less anxiety, fear, and overwhelm—and more trust in myself and life.
Deeper and more meaningful connections with people.
A growing sense of belonging, not just with myself but with life.
I was finally at home, at home with myself.
We can’t belong with others, if we don’t belong within.
This is what I teach inside my free Freedom From Self-Doubt and Inner Emptiness masterclass.
