In this episode of Radically Alive Women, Yana Kirakovskaya, founder of Auckland-based "Papaya Stories" shares her inspiring journey as a global citizen, creative, and mother.
Papaya Stories brings people together through unique storytelling experiences like Silent Disco City walks and other audio tours, such as Māori historical tours. These are uniquely tailored experiences, fostering connection, joy and authenticity. The creative storytelling services extend globally, aiming to enrich lives and foster community connection.
The conversation also delves into the fear of success, facing rejection, embracing one's true self, daring to be "crazy", dancing with life, and how being true to oneself can lead to more fulfilling professional and personal relationships.
Yana offers an abundance of creative experiments for bringing creativity and aliveness into your daily life, such as:
- acting and expecting to fail - then let yourself be surprised
- using voice memos to express feelings
- planning long-term success by defining personal visions.
