The Quiet Power of Being Underrated

-

 Hey beautiful souls,

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about power lately, and what it really means, especially for women. In our society, power often feels like it needs to be loud, visible, and aggressive — you know, the big achievements, the titles, the hustle.

But I think there's a totally different, much softer, and more profound kind of power that often goes unnoticed, and that is the quiet power of being underrated.

It's the strength you build when no one is watching, when you’re doing the work, healing, learning, and growing, all behind the scenes. It’s the resilience you develop when people underestimate you, because you have all this beautiful depth and wisdom that they simply haven't bothered to see.

This quiet power is truly feminine. It’s about being the deep root system that keeps the whole tree standing, even when all the attention is on the colorful leaves. It's the ability to observe, to listen, to process, and to move with gentle purpose, without needing fanfare or validation.

When you’re underrated, you’re free. Free from the pressure of always having to perform or meet impossible expectations. You get to define your own value based on your inner truth, not external applause. And that is an incredibly liberating kind of strength.

So, if you feel like you’re not the loudest voice in the room, or if your quiet accomplishments often get overlooked, remember this: your power is no less real. It’s just deeper. It’s the kind of power that lasts. And finding strength in that truth? That's genuinely beautiful.

Sending you all inner strength and quiet confidence, Vladyslava

When "Doing Nothing" Is Actually Doing Everything

-
 Hey everyone, I've been thinking about our culture — and maybe it's just modern life everywhere — but there’s this huge pressure to always be doing something, right? We feel like we have to be productive, busy, hustling, achieving. If you’re just sitting still, you feel like maybe you’re failing or being lazy. But lately, I've realized something truly beautiful and totally counter-intuitive: sometimes, the most productive thing you can do for your soul, and your femininity, is to just stop . To embrace the art of "doing nothing." I don't mean just scrolling on your phone, because that's still doing something. I mean truly resting. Sitting without an agenda. Staring out the window. Maybe lying down for twenty minutes and just letting your mind wander, without trying to solve a problem or plan the next hour. It’s in these moments of quiet pause that the magic happens. Your mind gets a chance to catch up with your body. Your nervous system calms down. And th...

Love Is When You Feel Good. Mikhail Labkovsky 6 Rules.

-

This article presents the views on love and happiness of the famous and somewhat scandalous Russian psychologist, Mikhail Labkovsky. His statements evoke conflicting feelings in my mind. On the one hand, I understand and agree with him, but on the other hand, following his rules could dramatically change your life. Are we ready for this? "A healthy person loves only those who love him or her. All others are not interesting to the healthy person," this is one of the most striking statements of Mikhail Labkovsky. This statement is unusual and explains a lot, like many other words of Mikhail Labkovsky, immediately drawing attention to him and his teaching. Before the speech “About love and happiness: where to find it and how to keep it,” the psychologist immediately said that the lecture itself would take no more than 15 minutes, the rest of the time he would answer questions. “This is not a lecture, when a lecturer talks for two hours, you sleep, and then we disperse,” he said ...

Mikhail Labkovsky 6 Rules of a Happy Life

-

Mikhail Labkovsky is a renowned psychologist whose 30-year practice and personal experiences have resulted in six rules that consistently help people overcome neurosis. Like many professionals in his field, he was motivated to enter the profession due to his own struggles and found success in his work. Mikhail created his six rules to help people find peace, confidence, and happiness. Although, these rules are known to be quite radical but effective in dealing with neurosis. Who can benefit from these rules? The rules can be helpful for anyone who is struggling in life and may not be able to see the positive aspects of the world. However, they are particularly recommended for neurotics, as they often have deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that need to be broken and replaced with new ones.  It's worth noting that while the rules are designed for neurotics, they assume a baseline of mental health and healthy desires. Any issues related to mental illness should be addressed by a p...

A Quiet Nest: Finding Beauty in My Own Space

-
You know how sometimes, the world outside just feels… loud? And kinda messy, maybe even overwhelming. There are so many things happening that you can’t control, so many noises, so much uncertainty. When all that’s swirling around, I find myself thinking more and more about my own small corner of the world. My home. It’s not some grand palace, or even a perfectly decorated apartment you’d see in a magazine. It’s just my space. But I’ve realized there’s this incredible, quiet beauty in making it feel like a nest . A soft, safe place where I can truly just be . For me, creating this feeling isn't about buying new things. It’s in the small acts. It’s making sure my bed is comfy and inviting, like a big, soft cloud. It’s arranging my favorite books just so, or putting a simple flower in a little vase – even if it’s just a wild one I found on a walk. It’s the way the light comes in through the window at a certain time of day, making shadows dance. Or having a favorite mug for my tea that...
