OUR STORY

It all started with a mango lemonade… We sat down on a warm early summer day to chat about LIFE. It wasn’t the first time we realized we were in the same situation: quitting exciting jobs after giving 150% for many years, and taking the risk to jump into the unknown. Because it was time. Time to redefine and put ourselves first.

Within a few hours, we recognized that we kept telling each other similar stories. Stories like ours. And then the sun went down, the lemonade kicked in, and we got the 'sign from the universe'. ‘Why don’t we start building a community based on this? Why don’t we hold each other’s hands with other adventurous people who want to improve and challenge themselves as well?’

And here we are. Ready for a new journey.

And we can’t wait to meet you and hear YOUR STORY!

DOROTTYA BALLA

Creative Professional, Yoga Instructor

I always wanted to be a dancer. While I wasn’t exactly that type of child who entertained the whole family with the home version of Swan Lake, dancing on stage as a professional became the biggest dream of my life. But as we grow up, life pushes us to consider our future careers in more complex ways.

So, I continued dancing and expanded my skills by studying acting. The ability to tell stories through movement and performance became my foundation. With all the inspiration and experience those years gave me, I got into the University of Theater and Film Arts, where I learned to create narratives with different tools.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked in television program production. As a creative producer and former editor-in-chief, my main aim was to find valuable, brave, and exciting solutions that provoke thoughts and leave a lasting impression.

Alongside this journey, I became a yoga instructor to find balance, and help others to reach that inner harmony as well.

Cut to the chase: I’ve redefined my path many times, but creativity, curiosity, and passion have always been my guides. And my current goal is to bring my creative mindset and flow into a collective, to search for new directions, find answers, grow and push boundaries together.

ZSUZSANNA GARAJ

Consulting Psychologist

Deep down, I always had a sense that I'll end up a psychologist. This profession combines science, philosophy and communication, all while focusing on helping people grow. Engaging in what truly excites me feels wonderful, although the path to get here hasn’t always been smooth.

After high school, I graduated as a physiotherapist, but I didn’t feel that this was my true calling. For years, I worked in the business world, where I had the opportunity to take on managerial roles.

However, my attraction to psychology never waned, so I decided to dive back into learning. For a while, I built both career paths in parallel until I made the decision to focus solely on psychology and quit from the corporate world.

Currently, I'm working in my own practice and collaborate with various organizations, allowing me to utilize my previous leadership experience as well.

While rethinking our professional identity can seem difficult and daunting, it often provides the strength and perseverance needed to turn our dreams into reality. I believe in this, and if you can relate, I would be happy to accompany you on your journey.
