Breaking Free From The American Dream with Kamila Kowalke

Chi Quita Mack, MSW Season 2 Episode 6

Hey, beautiful!

I'm excited to welcome Kamila Kowalke as we discuss how you can break free from the American Dream. She shares inspiration as she embarks on her journey of growing up in communist Poland, pursuing her dream in the United States, and deciding to have a major life shift with art. 

She also talks about women bringing beauty, peace, calm, joy, and love to the world, which it needs. She encourages us to live a life of being able to do what we want and set an example for others.

Success is living the life you’ve always wanted.

You don’t have to continuously do something that doesn’t make you happy because we have the power to create our happiness.

As a young child of Communist Poland in the early 80's, Kamila Kowalke had to find beauty and peace where it often did not exist. The challenges of being raised in that part of the world in a difficult and different generation began her search for the beauty in all things art. Now having lived in the United States for nearly 30 years, most of those in California where she achieved success as a businesswoman in a high-pressure career, she often found herself drifting back to a simpler life where the beauty, creativity, and imagination were hidden in a society that shunned freedom and individualism. Today she is able to lose herself in her paintings and create a world as she sees it. One of joy and laughter and humility and appreciation that we are all a part of this amazing universe and all it has to offer.
