Comms & ads expert, author, coach to public speaking, podcaster, nutrition consultant, yogi, daughter, mum, partner… No, no and once again no.

These are my sides, not touching the core. Roles and p,ositions are temporary. Only I’m permanent. So how to answer?

I am a woman. And it stays with me everywhere and always.

And this woman already at 5 answered to the loving look of her parents: “Why are you so happy, born such a good girl?!”

Women with unrealistic large eyes, which in school was very shy of (even tried to hide them with lenses).

A very determined woman that chose the path from “that doesn’t come out at all”. Modest and shy naturally, she pulled herself out year after year speaking to cold audiences with persuasion.

A woman who loves solving the unsolvable. Was once able to make souvenir globes out of gabbro-diabase, the most badly abraded material on the Earth.

A woman who likes to throw away and clear rather than buy. Seriously, have one pair of seasonal shoes and no extra dishes in the house.

A very curious woman. Want to know why they always move counterclockwise at the stadium, how dolphins breastfeed, or what pose giraffes fall asleep? Don’t you know?

A woman who you can find suddenly running down the street out of the blue and laughing. Or singing at the top of her voice in an unfamiliar language and dancing wherever she finds herself.

A woman who could record ASMR. It’s not as good in English as in my native language, but the voice matters. Check it here: https://texthug.mave.digital/ep-3

This woman said so often that she would “be a writer one day” She got overwhelmed, clammed up, and just started putting together stories for her first serious book. As still feel so vulnerable and unconfident I put here on Medium therapeutic sketches to support primarily myself: https://medium.com/@anna.lipatova.pr/never-say-yes-if-you-want-to-say-no-3d05c495ce21

If I chose a slogan for my inner woman, it would be: “None of this is accidental. Definitely”.

A few more useless facts:

— Grew dozens of avocados from the bone (if you ever tried, you should know that’s not that easy at all).

— You could hardly find such a sweet tooth. A direct quote: “I only know two true loves in the world. Romeo and Juliet and Anna and chocolate”.

— I am unimaginably stubborn and impatient. Was so eager to recover immediately from childbirth that accidentally graduated with an FPA.

— Have been a professional ballroom dancer for a third of my life.

— Dislike to stay longer in one city. Currently based in sunny Tbilisi.

— Worked as a wedding planner for a few seasons and even photographed big events.

— I’m an experienced volunteer. And after 30 continue to believe that small things are changing the world.

— I’ve never tried smoking. Not even done a single puff.

— I can’t imagine my life without bird watching. Love considering what they are discussing after the sunset.

Join me and let’s become friends
