    Jul 16 2025

    The answer might surprise you.

  • 470. Fluent with AI? This is what Artificial Intelligence WON’T help you with.
    Jul 8 2025

    Now with the rise of AI, everything has become FAST. We look for short videos, quick wins, and AI tools that do everything for us. And while that’s amazing in so many ways, it can also make us believe that fluency should be something that’s easy, instant, or effortless.

    But here’s the truth: some things still take time, intention, and consistency. And English is one of them!

    In this episode, I talk about the five must-have qualities you need to truly master English. Not tools. Not grammar rules. Not hacks. Qualities. The kind that no app or AI can give you.

    Because over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed something, not just in my own life and business, but in the lives of my students and the people I work with. It’s becoming harder to stay consistent. Harder to follow through. And easier to expect results without really doing the inner work.

    So in this episode, I want to shine a light on what’s actually holding people back from fluency, even when they’re doing “all the right things.” Even when they’re using amazing tools like AI.

    If you’re ready to go deeper and get the kind of support where you can bring these 5 qualities to LIFE I’m inviting you to learn more about my membership, Beyond!

  • 469. Breaking through your limitations: Katya’s journey to total fluency
    Jul 1 2025

    In this interview, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Katya, one of my amazing students who started learning English from scratch seven years ago. What’s even more incredible is that she did it all without ever living in an English-speaking country!!

    Katya takes us through her journey, from feeling stuck and frustrated to finding the breakthrough that led her to become a leader in our communities. We dive deep into how pronunciation work, especially prosody, not only helped her speak with confidence but also transformed her mindset and life.

    In this conversation, Katya shares her challenges, wins, and the powerful role our community played in her success. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of your own learning path, her story will inspire you to keep going and find joy in the process.

    I am so honored to share this interview. I dearly love Katya, and I know you will love her too!
