Because we don’t need help. We need confidence.
I WILL never WRITE A SELF-HELP BOOK.
I am here to teach you my formula for real confidence, something I began building from an ER room after a major panic attack (read on for the whole story).
Let this page serve as your permission to be entirely you, no matter where you show up in the world.
And you know what?
The world should be scared of you.
I help women everywhere make peace with (and eventually be proud of) every imperfection, every flaw, every moment that didn’t go as planned.
There is SO much power in NOT being more. In NOT being perfect.
When we as women are undeniably comfortable with who we are.
You don’t need help to become a better woman. You need to return to the amazing woman you already are.
(But not anymore.)
It’s a Serbian name that means “sweet.” I did my best to live up to it.

for High-Achieving Women
I’m Sladja.
Her more is the untapped potential. It’s potential that she knows will impact the world, and she’ll burst if she doesn’t unleash it.
You are amazing, capable, perfectly imperfect. I want you to SEE that. I want you to recognize that “having it all” is YOUR definition, not the world’s. I want you to break the shell you’ve been living in.
Because when you do, you’ll tap into the deep potential you know is inside of you.
And Now You Know that More Does Not Equal Things.
We built the career. We started a family. We pursued awards.
And it’s left us overextended and disoriented. Wondering why we’re not happier.
I’m here to help you reverse that damage and get back to YOU. The one who is NOT defined by superficial statistics, but the one who trusts so deeply in her own essence that she can’t help but stand out.
By default, we chased societal success.
who knows there is so much more.
You are a high-achieving woman
Imagine How Powerful this Woman Is:
The one who is deeply rooted in her worth and walked away from perfectionism
The one who intuitively knows what she wants and needs, and always checks in with herself
She’s flawed, she’s grounded, she’s connected, she’s authentic. She’s fully herself.
That woman isn’t perfect.
And she’s not apologizing for it.
You and I are not here to build lives that are perfect on paper. We are not here to live by society’s definition.
We’re here to connect so deeply to ourselves that we project such an authentic confidence that the world can’t help but notice.
Ready to be imperfect, yet unshakeable?
I had to rebuild confidence of the woman I actually was.
At the height of my “perfection,” a panic attack landed me in the emergency room. I lost my breath, lost my control, lost any sense of safety.
At the time, it still made no sense to me. If my life was so perfect, why was I in survival mode?
Hindsight always blesses us with wisdom. And I was soon able to very clearly see that I was living to be perfect, not authentic. In my pursuit of what I was supposed to do, I had lost every sense of myself.
I had to be perfect. Perfection does not stop.
Until I was forced to stop.
On paper, I had it all. A loving partner, beautiful children, a dazzling real estate career sprinkled with awards.
I had worked hard, reeealy hard, to build it all. I had performed, I had people-pleased, I had hustled.
That was my default mode. “Ignore who you are, and be who you’re supposed to be.”
I shut down my own intuition, and I quieted every single part of my body that asked me to slow down, to rest, to reconnect.
My story
Rebellion
Dismissing External Validation
I’m done saying fake it til you make it. Women shouldn’t have to fake confidence.
Instead, I want you to face it til you make it.
Here, we work on inside-out confidence. You’ll walk around knowing you don’t have to be better. You just need to reconnect to who you already are.
Non-Traditional Confidence
Rebellion
Think about your career. You chased the fancy titles, the raises, the praise, the perfect family, the well-behaved kids. And it all made you feel great. For a minute.
External validation fades wickedly fast. True happiness — true success — comes from living an aligned, fulfilling, actually authentic life.
Dismissing External Validation
Non-Traditional Confidence
The world has programmed us to live a certain way. But in doing so, we limit our growth and never think to define success on our own terms.
I want you to notice how those patterns — those limiting beliefs — repeat themselves over and over and over again.
And then I want you to break them.

3 things I value even more than a spicy margarita
No amount of money or fame can make you confident. It comes from within, no matter your status in life.
I’ve learned one thing from multi-millionaires:
My two kids — I love you, Emma and Luka!
My life is brighter and funnier (and messier) because of:
No amount of money or fame can make you confident. It comes from within, no matter your status in life.
I’ve learned one thing from multi-millionaires:
Create a fierce movement of women returning to their truest, fullest aligned selves.
I’m on this earth to:
Wondering if I can get another hour of sleep. Then ice COOOOLD coffee.
I start my days …

Fake Face It Til You Make It
Words I’ll Probably Tattoo On My Body One Day
Real confidence is Quiet. Deep. Brave.
It’s trusting yourself.
It’s honoring yourself exactly where you are right now.
Where perfectionism is rooted in fear, confidence is rooted in self-acceptance.
A confident woman knows her worth isn't tied to flawless performance. She has nothing to prove because she trusts that she is already enough. She allows herself to be seen as messy, learning, evolving.
Perfection demands a tight grip, but a confident woman releases control. She allows life (and herself) to be imperfect. That freedom gives her radiance.
Perfectionism is not a standard to meet. It’s a cage.
No mask, no “fake it till you make it” - her presence feels unshakable because it’s rooted in self-worth, not performance.
Radiates Confidence That Comes From Within
She receives compliments and successes fully, without minimizing or deflecting.
Celebrates Her Wins Without Downplaying Them
Saying “no” feels natural and self-respecting, not risky or selfish.
Sets Boundaries Without Fear of Rejection
Invests in Herself Without Second-Guessing
Whether it’s time, money, or energy, she no longer needs to justify pouring into her own growth.
No more hustling for approval or waiting to be invited, she owns her place before anyone offers it.
Walks Into Any Room Already Knowing She Belongs
She doesn’t dilute her words to keep others comfortable; her voice holds weight because it comes from authenticity.
Speaks Her Truth Without Shrinking
She no longer explains or apologizes for needing downtime, her worth isn’t tied to constant productivity.
