You rarely hear about this kind of addiction, but it is just as real as alcoholism, drug addiction, or gambling. Have you ever wondered why some people repeatedly choose toxic, abusive partners — and stay with them, even when it’s deeply harmful? I was one of those people. I chose a partner who treated me in ways nobody deserves: with gaslighting and psychological abuse.

Justyna Lyzwa’s journey from growing up in the shadow of addiction to becoming a beacon of healing and empowerment is nothing short of inspiring. In this heartfelt interview, she shares how embracing her pain became the catalyst for transformation, not just in her own life, but in the lives of those she now helps through her coaching method, UR a CURE. Her story is a powerful reminder that everything we need to heal is already within us.

Motivation and self-confidence are two sides of the same psychological coin, each feeding into and fueling the other. When you don’t trust yourself, your motivation often drops. And when you feel stuck, it usually stems from a lack of self-confidence. Motivation builds self-confidence, and self-confidence, in turn, sparks motivation. This inner currency is minted either by love and passion or by fear and trauma. Whichever force forges that coin ultimately shapes not only what we pursue but who we become in the process.
