Episode 20, Kasia’s story

Welcome to The Survivor’s Voice, where resilience meets hope.

In this emotional and inspiring episode, Kasia shares her journey from a childhood in communist Poland to becoming a faith-based life coach, music creator, and yoga instructor in the United States. Through sexual trauma, anorexia, and grief, Kasia struggled with shame, self-worth, and the silence of unhealed pain. Her turning point came in her 50s, as she began connecting with her inner child and reclaiming her identity through heart-centered healing, spiritual growth, and creative expression.

Kasia’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to heal, follow your calling, or rewrite your story—and that the heart, breath, and faith can be powerful guides back to ourselves.
