journalist, podcaster, writer

A graduate of Polish Philology at the University of Gdańsk. She has been translating nearly fifteen years of radio and journalistic experience into content for Lyra Polska – both in the form of articles and podcasts. She engages in conversations with specialists from various fields who help people understand themselves and regain balance. She believes in the power of words and in dialogue, which leads to a deeper understanding of others, but also of oneself. Tackling difficult topics requires courage and a willingness to confront one's own weaknesses and uncertainties – but it is always worth it. Expressing what we truly want, actively listening to others, and building relationships through the exchange of thoughts lead to growth – and growth is one of the keys to fulfilment.
