In this episode, I had the pleasure of a delightful conversation with Nikolina Koevska Karoufeh, a multifaceted media producer, presenter, author, and mother of two. Nikolina graciously shared her profound insights into Balkan parenting culture, drawing from her rich Macedonian heritage. We delved into her remarkable journey, where she adeptly navigates the challenges of raising children while passionately pursuing her various talents and interests.
Throughout our discussion, we explored essential topics, such as the value of fostering creativity in our children, the common but often overwhelming feeling of mom's guilt, the complexities of managing anger and frustration in our relationships, and the art of harmoniously navigating life with little ones. Nikolina's experiences exemplified that motherhood doesn't need to put our dreams and ambitions on hold; instead, it can be a catalyst for self-discovery and creativity. We discovered that humour and creativity are potent tools for coping with the trials and tribulations of parenting, reminding us that laughter and innovation can brighten the path.
Moreover, we dived into the significant roles that family and community support play, especially in helping mothers navigate the challenges and struggles of postpartum life. This conversation was not only enlightening but also heartwarming, reinforcing the idea that amidst the rollercoaster of motherhood, we can still find joy, fulfilment, and camaraderie in our journey.

U ovom izdanju imala sam zadovoljstvo razgovarati s Nikolinom Koevskom Karoufeh, višestruko nadarenom medijskom producenticom, voditeljicom, autoricom i majkom dvoje djece. Nikolina je podijelila svoje uvide o kulturi odgoja na Balkanu i svojim makedonskim korijenima, te razgovarala o tome kako se nosi s izazovima odgoja djece dok istovremeno slijedi svoje strasti. Istražili smo teme kao što su važnost kreativnosti, suočavanje s osjećajem krivnje majke, upravljanje bijesom prema partnerima i pronalaženje načina za svakodnevni život s malom djecom. Kroz naš razgovor saznali smo da majčinstvo ne mora značiti pauzu u ostvarivanju svojih snova i ambicija, te da su humor i kreativnost moćni alati za suočavanje s izazovima roditeljstva. Dotakli smo se i značaja obitelji i podrške zajednice tijekom postporođajnih borbi. Sveukupno, razgovor s Nikolinom bio je zabavan, obogaćujući i srdačan, podsjećajući nas da možemo pronaći radost i ispunjenje usred majčinstva te da nismo sami u tom putovanju.
