MEET TATJANA
My name is Tatjana Cadenovic. I started to call myself Tat Caden at a young age because I didn’t want to reveal where I am originally from. I always felt, growing up in Germany in the 90s with a Montenegrin heritage and a child of guest workers, like a second class citizen. My self-worth was shattered by birth.
Everything I experienced in my childhood put me on a trajectory to develop an inhumane ambition. Today I know it was a cry for love which I never received from my family. I ended up graduating from top European business schools and found myself in a big corporate as the rising star, traveling the world in business class, a young self-made woman. I had reached my biggest goals… And yet I was unhappy.
I too needed a brutal awakening. And so I started my journey back to myself with Vipassana meditation. There, in deep stillness I experienced ‘the truth’ which changed me forever. The experience of The Divine, God, the universal Truth …whatever one wants to call it. It was a long way after that to break free from the limiting believes I carried (and some I still carry) with me, the societal confinements of what a successful life is, and whom I decided I should be.
And here I am today… proud of my heritage, bringing consciousness into businesses and empowering a balance between the feminine and the masculine, so we can live meaningful, more joyful lives and create the world our hearts know is possible.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
