Breverie Handbook with Olena Mytruk
Telling personal stories is one of the most powerful and most underrated self-discovery and personal growth tools ever invented.
It's like a handbook. Your memories and life stories are like pages in your very own life manual, and all you need to do is be willing to look through those pages, read through them, and learn from them.
Sharing your personal stories out loud is like making a peace pact with yourself. Once you let it out, once you give yourself permission to let it out – something that you kept deep inside for so long – it liberates you.
And it begins to finally make sense. Your life, your deepest thoughts and desires, your wildest dreams and aspirations, your biggest fears and doubts – you begin to get it.
My name is Olena Mytruk, and it took me a while to learn the power of storytelling. But once I discovered it, I never looked back.
I invite you to join me on this adventurous and inspiring journey as I flip pages of my Breverie Handbook – trying to figure out what it really takes to be a hardworking, passionate, multifaceted woman in today’s world.

I heard someone say this recently: before telling your story, you need to wait a little bit. You need to let your story settle.
It is very true - because, while you are still in your story, while you are still experiencing the events of your story, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to zoom out and to truly understand the learnings and the transformation that this story brings - in fact, you might still be undergoing this transformation!
And here is something interesting. Sometimes you might think that a particular story has ended – that you learned everything from it.
But then later, sometimes years later, you realize that what you thought was the end of the story is really a transition to the next chapter. Suddenly, you uncover new insights and new depth in your story.
In this episode, I’m sharing with you a story that I thought was over three years ago and that surprised me recently. It is a story of how I started my business.
