Hey! I’m Barbara.
I am lifestyle blogger dedicated to helping you create life authentic to you.
I was born and raised in the industrial city in Poland. Since I remember my parents instilled in me a powerful belief that helped me to achieve everything I have so far:
You can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Guided by this mindset I moved to Dubai in 2012. Driven by ambition and my goal orientated approach to life, my early days in Dubai revolved around my career. Once I climbed a career ladder, I set a goal to reach the next step. Things were going great until the Covid pandemic.
My position, a role that I loved, was closed and I was demoted. Even though it had nothing to do with my performance it was a pivotal moment in my life. I felt I was back to square one, with all the effort and energy I had poured into my work gone to waste.
That’s when I realised I wasn’t entirely happy with the way I was living.
In response, I began exploring avenues beyond my career, scratching that entrepreneurship itch and nurturing my well-being and spirituality. I also rediscovered a long-buried passion for fashion design that had always stirred within me.
However, life had more surprises in store for me.
Two years later, I was laid off, which shaken my world even further. I was getting nowhere with the traditional search, so I took matters into my own hands. I created www.hirebarbara.com website and promoted it on LinkedIn. Little did I know that my post would go viral, accumulating a staggering 4.1 million views and eventually landing me a new role.
During the five-month job search, I had the chance to experience life with more personal time, unburdened by the 9-to-5 routine. And you know what? I loved it! But sometimes we have to do what we have to do, hence I started new role.
Then… I made a decision: it is time to put myself first and live my life!
And so, the journey begins.
I launched this blog because I firmly believe I am not the only one in the world who wants to create the live they genuinely enjoy. I also believe the path to achieving this is easier when embarked upon as part of a community.
Through my blog posts I will be sharing a mix of inspiration and practical advice, highlighting what I’ve tested and whether it worked or not. I honestly don’t have all the answers, but I am committed to learn what I need and share the lessons with you.
I will be covering topics related to self-development and mindset, overall well-being, and even book recommendations.
Additionally, I hope to ignite your passion and encourage you to pursue your dreams by documenting my own journey of establishing a successful feminine fashion label. With hard work and a bit of luck, it’ll turn out to be a triumph!
