Success Stories & Testimonials

This may seem like a big statement, but Milena kind of changed my life and I've never even met her in person (though I would like to some day). Pre-2020, I had a job that I loved - traveling all over the US and globally, visiting clients, and attending conferences. When the pandemic hit, it all came crashing down and I was thrust into burnout. In order to form some sense of connection, I signed up for the Wisdom 2.0 virtual conference in 2021 and that is where I heard Milena speak about the whole concept of un-hustling. She made it remarkably clear - we can work, be successful, make a living, AND take care of our wellbeing. As someone who had been trained to always be 'on', it was the message that I needed to hear. Her presentation was a catalyst for me to start setting boundaries and take better care of myself. I am immensely grateful that she came into my life when she did.

"My Saturday Lake Tahoe workshop with Unhustle was just what I was looking for. Our 3+ hour session included a standup paddle boarding lesson which was a nice surprise. We also practiced mindfulness mediation on the lake followed by a Wim Hof breathing lesson. I’ve known Milena for years and when I saw her Unhustle movement last year it really started my thinking down a similar path. I’ve recently restructured my company and allowed my team to work remote. We’re all on a healthier happier path then being tethered to an office in the concrete jungle for 60+ hours a week. Thank you Unhustle I highly recommend your programs. Change starts with us."

For years, Marc was at war with himself, lacking contentment , feeing misaligned and missing creative flow. By working with us, he stepped into greater fulfillment and career opportunities. His note reads: "I wanted to send you a long email too about my transformation. You actually inspired me to do things differently. I’ve recycled old shit forever hoping things would change. It never does. It’s just applying bandaids on a dead body. You've completely changed how I think and how I view my work and how I show up every day. I can't thank you enough."

Bentzy is a startup founder who came to us exhausted, burnout, and lacking energy and motivation. Within two weeks of working with us, he regained his clarity, drive, and focus and was able to lead his team with confidence without working 18 hour days. His note reads: "I don't say this lightly, my work with Milena was truly transformational - her intuitive, yet direct style allowed me to gain new perspective and challenge old thinking which blocked me from actualizing the highest possible version of self. Her holistic approach to problem solving and coaching is the most unique I've seen and gratefully experienced."

"Through coaching with Milena I have had many breakthroughs and new perspectives which have helped to propel me forward."

"Milena is a great speaker with a great message! She’s smart, entertaining and very engaging. Milena’s presentation includes small, actionable steps for the audience to feel better, have more energy and work in flow. I highly recommend Milena for speaking, coaching or workshop engagements."

"I attended the first Burn Out to Peace Out Retreat held in Lake Tahoe, CA in Sept. 2019. I definitely wanted to learn how to Unhustle in my everyday life. My expectations were to learn ideas and have tools to use every day to slow down and be present in my life. The takeaway for me is that life is short with so much to learn and do, that I don't want to let my work control me 24/7. I definitely recommend attending this retreat because it will open your eyes and mind to the fact that we can be happy and accomplish more at a slower pace. It has changed my perception of "the more we do, the more we are."

“I’ve participated in numerous self-improvement workshops and presentations, but never have I walked away with such immediate, actionable tips. Literally within minutes of the “Digital Wellness Masterclass,” I made a few technology changes that are benefiting me personally and professionally through increased productivity and peace of mind.”

"Unplug your computer, put away your devices, and prepare to reboot your soul. Milena will expertly guide you to lives in alignment with your highest values, recalibrate and prioritize what really matters. Join the Unhustle movement and watch the magic unfold!"

“The Baja retreat was a very soulful experience – to connect with each other and nature and disconnect from our phones felt amazing. Waking up at the beach and appreciating the beauty around me really puts things in perspective and helps you unhustle.”

“Being an entrepreneur I have been hustling for 30 years. Coming to Baja really helped me realize the world will keep revolving without me being on phone or laptop the whole time. It allowed me to connect with myself and the people around me on a deeper level. The feeling of calmness you can gain by making space to unhustle is unbelievable!”

Dana came seeking more clarity and focus in her business, so she can get aligned and create a business that fulfilled her and allowed her to spend more time in flow. Her note reads: “Milena is an alchemist! Guiding me to see future scenarios, then mirroring back my own inner clarity ... dispelling a constellation of distractions, old beliefs & uncertainty. With true inner knowing, next steps revealed themselves with synchronicity & flow. Her rebellious, optimistic spirit & business expertise helped me take right action & open new conversations, super grateful!”
