Lady Monika Wiśniewska was born in Grudziadz, Poland in 1979. She studied to be an English Teacher and received a Master's Degree in EU Economic Relations. In December 2004, shortly after Poland entered European Union, she travelled to England in search of a better life. She started working at the bottom of the career ladder but gradually progressed to senior-level positions in global companies. In 2018, she wrote her memoir 'Polish Girl; In Pursuit of the English Dream', where she shared her experiences as a Polish immigrant in England and her reflections on different areas of life, mainly love life, from her 13-year adventure. Her memoir is a spiritual journey through various types of relationships to eventually find unconditional self-lo ...more

How Brunonek is (not) helping with putting logs into the cellar

See on my latest vlog what it’s like for me and my mama in her home in Poland to put logs into the cellar and how Brunonek thinks it’s always time to play with the ball…

“Unconscious of my destructive patterns, desperate to be loved, no matter what, and not standing up for myself when he had hurt me the first and second time, I had finally got a painful wake-up call. Shame it had taken me so long to realise I deserved more in life and I deserved to find true love, rather than keeping an unfulfilled and immature relationship, just because I was afraid to be alone. I had finally said ‘It’s over’ for which I had paid a high price with his vengeance, but I was proud to have faced my fears and moved on with life, no matter how painful it would be, fully respecting myself and trusting that one day I would find the right man to feel complete. Finding my other half and be happy. Yes, I was afraid that it could never happen, but I was now ready to face my fears of abandonment and go forward, single and alone, but independent and in charge of my destiny. – from ‘Polish Girl In Pursuit of the English Dream”
Monika Wisniewska, Polska Dziewczyna W Pogoni Za Angielskim Snem

“I found LOVE.
But not just any kind of love. During one of my daily meditations, when tears were flowing down my cheeks as if I had been watching a horror movie, with all my pain, suffering and demons, playing main characters in the story of my life, I had felt an inexplicable warmth in my heart. I felt something that I had never felt before. An unconditional love… for myself. I felt that I was more than just a human being. I felt I was part of the surrounding universe. I was a spirit. And in that moment, I felt as if nothing else had existed or mattered. No worries. No problems. There was no past. There was no future. There was only ME and there was no… suffering any more. No more pain, no more heartbreak. I didn’t need anyone else to love me because I BECAME love. I became who I had always been so desperately searching for, whole as a person. I realised that only when we are whole as a spirit, filled with unconditional love for ourselves, that can we truly find and share an immense love with another human being, the one that is right for us and who is also whole as a person. – from ‘Polish Girl In Pursuit of the English Dream by Monika Wiśniewska”

“Going up the hill, the strong gale blew in my face but I put my hat on
and said: ‘Bring it on! I’ll keep going anyway!’ When I’d reached the top, the sky was blue and the air was still. I sat on the rocks and said with a smile:
‘I told you I can do it, didn’t?’
