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.

The Page About Upside Down Zip-Lining, Facing Fears, and No Regrets (feat. Rosa Sarmento)
“I don’t like when things go according to plan”, said no one ever.
Let’s admit it - we LOVE it when things go according to plan. We love to be in control. And when something doesn’t go the way we want, it is very easy to start feeling stressed, frustrated, or even angry.
But if we let those feelings go, if we embrace this unexpected opportunity that life presented, if we open our minds to getting the most out of it, we might not just learn some very important and valuable lessons, but have more fun than we have ever envisioned!
In this episode, I am joined by a very special guest - an amazing woman who has been making this podcast successful behind the scenes for almost a year - my podcast manager Rosa Sarmento.
Today, Rosa is actually taking a seat in front of the mic and sharing her story about how she overcame her fears and created one of the most memorable life experiences while zip-lining upside down (I am not even kidding!) above the tree canopies in Costa Rica.
