My Identity Journey A Personal Development Program for Real Growth and Transformation
My Identity Journey is a three-day personal development program built around experiential learning — designed for people who want meaningful achievement, stronger inner connection, and greater clarity in the face of life’s uncertainties.
Through reflection, embodiment practices and hands-on experiential learning, participants move through a process of self-discovery and self-awareness that leads to genuine personal transformation — and, for many, a lasting life transformation that continues well beyond the three days.
A Different Way of Looking at Growth
In a world where change accelerates and complexity continues to increase, many people are searching for a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and direction.
How can I live my best possible life?
My Identity Journey was created as a response to that question. More than a traditional personal development program, it is a transformative experience designed to support meaningful achievement, stronger inner connection, and the ability to navigate uncertainty with confidence.
Through a structured process of self-discovery and reflection, participants develop greater self-awareness, unlock new perspectives, and create a foundation for sustainable personal growth and life transformation.
At the core of the program are three pillars that reflect the essential capacities needed for modern life:
1. ACHIEVEMENT
Achievement means going for your best possible results from a place of inner alignment. Giving your best with clarity and integrity, while staying free from attachment to a specific outcome.
2.INNER CONNECTION
Inner Connection means staying connected with yourself even when life becomes demanding or uncertain. Listening inward, trusting yourself and finding clarity from within.
3. DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED
Dealing With The Unexpected means meeting change (both challenges and opportunities) with clarity rather than fear. Staying centered, adapting intentionally and turning uncertainty into an opportunity for growth.
About Experience
My Identity Journey is an experiential personal development journey focused on three essential capacities: Achievement, Inner Connection, and Dealing with the Unexpected.
The journey begins with guided prework on the My Identity Journey platform, continues through three core training days and a recommended fourth day for reflection and integration, and can extend into six months of continued practice and community support.
Through deep reflection, embodiment practices, guided breathwork, essential oils, creative tools, and light and sound stimulation, participants explore identity through the mind, body, emotions, and environment.
The experience supports participants in strengthening self-awareness, reconnecting with what truly matters, and developing greater stability and flexibility in times of change.
Its ultimate intention is meaningful personal transformation: creating a personal map for the best possible life and turning deeper self-understanding into purposeful action.
The ultimate intention is to help you create a personal map for living your best possible life… turning self-understanding into meaningful action, greater clarity and sustainable growth.

Why Is This Journey Valuable?
Many people feel they must choose between success and peace, achievement and fulfillment, performance and meaning. My Identity Journey, as a personal development program, is built on a different possibility.
My Identity Journey is built on a different possibility.
Rather than viewing these dimensions as competing forces, this personal development experience helps participants integrate them into a more balanced and authentic way of living. Through deeper self-awareness, stronger inner connection, and practical tools for growth, participants learn how to create meaningful achievement while remaining aligned with what matters most.
The result is greater clarity, resilience, and a sustainable path toward personal growth, personal transformation, and long-term life transformation.
About Us
The My Identity Journey program was created by Pedja Jovanović in 2017. The program evolved into its current form during 2023 and 2024 through collaboration with Ivana Blečić and Štěpánka Jovanović, bringing together diverse expertise and shared vision.
The Book: My Identity Journey
My Identity Journey was written as an invitation to explore a more meaningful and intentional way of living.
The book brings together reflection, practical tools, and real-life insights to help readers strengthen inner connection, create meaningful achievement, and navigate the unexpected with greater clarity.
Rather than offering answers alone, it invites readers into an ongoing journey of self-discovery, growth and becoming more aligned with the life they want to create.

I attended My Identity Journey in November 2025 in Sofia, Bulgaria. My expectations for the training were already very high, as I was familiar with Pedja’s work as a highly regarded MCC coach. And even with such high expectations, the program managed to exceed them far beyond anything I imagined.
This is an experience that must be lived. It is a powerful blend of a solid theoretical framework, practical tools (like goal setting), and deep inner work that helps you reconnect with your true direction and dreams. My life perspective and self-awareness shifted profoundly after these three days.
A beautiful bonus to the whole experience is the chance to share it with like-minded people, accompanied by plenty of laughter and deep emotions.
Thank you, Pedja, Stepanka, and Ivana, for creating this program. It’s a true gift to have been part of it.
I can freely say that the My Identity Journey training is the crown of all the personal development work I’ve done so far. It came at a moment when I was facing questions that lie at the very core of this program. The spark, the purpose — whatever we choose to call it — is what drives us, yet the eternal dilemma remains: should we create from it, and how?
Where is the balance between simply being in our essence and taking action that leads to results? Does one exclude the other? The answer is no — that much I knew. But how to balance the two? That’s what I learned during the training.
I also discovered that every identity I carry within me is merely a tool for channeling the spark into action. And I learned to recognize the moment when it’s time to return from action back into peace. The transformational breathing exercises were a particularly powerful experience — they offered deep insights about myself and helped me release blocks I didn’t even know I had.
After this training, nothing is the same for me anymore.
My Identity Journey training came into my life at a moment when I was asking myself, “What’s my next step?” Although I was already professionally accomplished and equipped with a range of tools and knowledge, I felt a need for deeper insight.
My Identity Journey became the answer to that inner calling. Today, I can confidently say it stands among the most meaningful personal development experiences I’ve ever had.
What makes it truly exceptional is its holistic approach — integrating emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of growth. For the first time, I experienced such a deeply unified form of inner work. What resonated with me most was the use of identity as a tool for insight and transformation. It opened up an entirely new perspective and has since become part of my everyday awareness.
The training offers a space built on trust, authentic support, and powerful experiential methods. The team of trainers are not only skilled professionals — they genuinely live what they teach.
I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves and clarity for their next step in life.
My Identity Journey is a transformational experience that beautifully aligned my strong, leadership-driven energy with the deeper parts of my being. It reconnected me with my purpose and intuition, bringing a profound sense of peace and balance into my life.
It was both phenomenal and intense — as if I’d been given a second chance to live this life more fully and with greater meaning.
Taking part in My Identity Journey was a truly transformative experience. The powerful combination of coaching techniques, sound healing, and meditation created a safe and deeply moving space where I felt fully connected to my true self.
For the first time in a long while, I could clearly hear my inner voice — without noise, without pressure. It was as if I reconnected with a part of myself I had forgotten, a version of me that was always there, just waiting to be seen and acknowledged.
This journey helped me uncover a new identity — or rather, the authentic identity that had been inside me all along. I just didn’t know how to unlock it before.
An incredible experience of coming home to myself. Deeply grounding, emotional, and liberating.
The past three days I spent in a state of elevated self-awareness, raw truths coming from my core, evoked through connecting with myself. I took off the unnecessary masks and with them enormous tension. I touched the primordial spark of my soul, awakened my intuition and felt power of transformational breatwork journey. I leave the training with clarity about who I am, driven by truly meaningful goals and full of energy for their realization.
Pedja Jovanovic,Ivana Blečić and Stepanka Jovanovic created not just deep awareness but a true journey – My Identity Journey.
I totally recommend the experience.
Dear Pedja and Stepanka, being with you on My Identity Journey was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for your gentle yet powerful mastery, and for the personal touch you brought into this journey—something I know I will remember for life. The program was truly transformational for me, in ways I did not expect, and profoundly impactful.
I’m a strong advocate for My Identity Journey and will be happy to share it with my friends whenever you decide to return to Bulgaria.
In my world of words, numbers, and bare reality, silence was the loudest and clearest presence during these three days. My Identity Journey brought me radiant people and a deeply fulfilling experience. Thank you all, each and every one of you, for every single minute we spent together.
Some journeys are ours alone, yet it always matters who walks beside us and who guides us along the way. Thanks to Pedja, Stepanka and Ivana, last weekend I realized once again that people do move forward and that there are those who genuinely want to uplift us, encourage us, and strengthen our belief that personal growth and deeper understanding are possible. My Identity Journey continues and, as Pedja would say, with a bit of luck I hope to move toward a spark of joy, kindness, wisdom, and presence.
I keep asking myself where to begin, and how to describe these three incredible days with Pedja, Stepanka, and Ivana.
Should I start with the sense of psychological safety Pedja created, which allowed us to explore our identity and imagine what we truly want in our lives?
Should I highlight the unique experiences Stepanka facilitated… working with our body, our nervous system, and our intuition, learning to treat the body with respect and curiosity rather than merely as a vessel for the mind and heart?
Or is it about the amazing group of people who gathered for the program, the level of openness we shared, the diverse backgrounds, personal stories, and meaningful moments that connected us?
Is it about high-quality tools and a well-designed structure?
It is all of that… and even more.
For me, it was the missing piece I needed, exactly when I needed it.
My heartfelt thanks for this experience!
I am still processing the seismic shift I experienced during the three days of the My Identity Journey program with Pedja, Štěpanka, and Ivana. I left the training with tremendous learning, powerful insights, crystal clarity, and a warrior-like determination to achieve what lies ahead. Once again, I can see that magic is all around us.
My Identity Journey is far more than a great training. It is a deeply meaningful experience, one that truly awakens you.
Honestly, I don’t have the right words to express what these three days have given me: clarity of mind, alignment of the soul, and a profound knowing that I am moving in the right direction.
I still get goosebumps when I think about everything we went through.
A heartfelt thank you to Pedja, Štěpanka, and Ivana.
You have created something truly powerful, meaningful, and transformative.
It was a true pleasure to take part in the My Identity Journey training, an inspiring journey through Achievement, Inner Connection, and Dealing with the Unexpected.
Sincere thanks to Pedja and his team for a truly meaningful experience.
My deep gratitude to all the wonderful people with whom I shared this unique journey.
My Identity Journey was exactly the right thing at the right moment.
The experience was powerful, deep, and very well balanced between clarity and inner work.
What stayed with me the most was the embodiment part, especially Stepanka’s breathwork. It was my first experience with it, and it created a truly transformative closure of the days, particularly on the first and the last day. The use of essential oils added another layer that beautifully complemented the cognitive side of the work.
The program strongly resonated with what I had already been exploring the idea of roles and how they can give us security, but also keep us stuck. My Identity Journey helped me touch something deeper: a stable inner core that exists beyond past, present, and future roles.
I genuinely loved the training. It was meaningful, well-timed, and deeply impactful.
My Identity Journey was a deeply meaningful and impactful experience.
What stood out most for me were the vision and identity exercises, especially the work around where I want to be in ten years and which identities need to be nourished to get there. Those moments gave me clarity, calm, and a strong sense of inner stability.
The embodiment work added a powerful dimension to the process. The breathwork sessions and essential oils created strong integration moments, especially at the beginning and the end of the journey, and beautifully complemented the cognitive framework of the program.
What I appreciated most was the combination of lived experience, strong presence, and authenticity. This was felt, grounded, and real.
My Identity Journey came at exactly the right moment for me and left a deep impression that continues to unfold.
For me, this training was a true personal milestone. For the first time in a long while, I felt that I had done something genuinely for myself.
The experience invited me to go deeper within and offered fresh perspectives on who I am. What I especially appreciated was how fully immersive the training was, engaging all of my senses through music, sound, scent, essential oils, and breathwork.
This approach helped me move beyond thinking only with my mind and allowed me to truly experience the journey of the past three days. The most valuable insight of all was discovering my true spark and learning how to reconnect with it whenever I need to.
Thank you, Peđa, Ivana, and Štěpánka, for guiding me back to that place.
I joined this program out of pure curiosity, to better understand how achievement, inner alignment, and the unexpected can truly come together.
By day three, it was clear that this experience genuinely delivers on the unexpected. It creates connection on every level physical, emotional, and mental, which feels especially valuable in today’s world.
Beyond that, it reconnects you with your spiritual journey and a deeper sense of purpose. At least, that’s how I experienced it.
This program is genuinely challenging for my intellect and my intuition.
I’m someone who learns through challenge and actually enjoys being stretched, and that’s exactly why I enjoyed this journey so much.
This experience gave me new perspectives and a renewed way of seeing my life. It helped me understand and reconnect with my inner drive, the part of me that brings a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
Be brave, and join the journey.
In a world where we often find ourselves competing with who we are supposed to be, striving for results and trying to meet expectations, it’s easy to lose connection with our inner voice, the one that whispers what truly matters.
I’m deeply grateful for the privilege and the experience of taking part in the My Identity Journey training, to slow down for three days and reconnect with my inner compass, the one that knows the true direction of my path.
Sometimes this path is not easy, but it teaches us how to listen. And once we allow ourselves to truly hear what silence has to say, everything begins to fall into place and we realize that the place we are trying to reach has been within us all along.
Pedja, Stepanka and Ivana, thank you for holding this space for us. Every single element you had prepared allowed us to take a step forward in our own identity journey.
My Identity Journey helped me reconnect with myself during a period of major life changes.
As I faced decisions that challenged not only my work and relationships, but also my sense of self, I found the space to pause, look deeper within, and make choices that were aligned with who I truly am.
The process was not always easy, but it helped me rediscover myself, reconnect with my inner foundation, and find a clearer direction for my life.
One year after completing the program, I can clearly see the changes. My company now operates in a way that reflects the vision I had long hoped for and is aligned with what truly matters to me. At the same time, my personal life and relationship with my partner have reached the level of quality, stability, and closeness I had been striving for.
Most importantly, the changes did not remain at the level of inspiration or good ideas. They became part of my everyday life.
I joined My Identity Journey at a time when I was seriously questioning the future of my company. I felt exhausted, overwhelmed and uncertain about what the next step should be.
During the program, I connected with the version of myself needed for the next stage of my life. What made the difference was that it wasn’t just an intellectual insight, I could truly feel the shift.
After the training, I returned to my business with renewed clarity, energy and confidence. Decisions that had felt difficult suddenly became clear and I found myself moving forward with a stronger sense of purpose and direction.
The combination of Peđa’s and Štěpánka’s different yet complementary approaches created a powerful and transformative experience that I will carry with me for years to come.
I traveled 15 hours from China to attend My Identity Journey, and it was worth every minute.
During these three days, I found something I did not expect to find, I found my spark. I felt myself becoming braver, more connected to who I am, and more willing to follow what my heart has been calling me to do.
What touched me most was not only my own experience, but also witnessing the journeys of people from different countries and cultures. Seeing the spark in others helped me recognize something inside myself.
I am returning to China with renewed energy, clarity, and inspiration. I am already planning new workshops, following my vision with greater confidence and sharing My Identity Journey with friends and colleagues.
I know this is not the end of my journey. It is the beginning of a new chapter.
I joined My Identity Journey at a time when my life had completely changed. A project into which I had invested my time, energy, money, and a part of myself did not succeed, leaving me with a deep sense of loss, countless questions, and ongoing self-doubt.
Through this journey, I learned to stop looking for someone to blame—especially myself. I began to see my patterns with greater understanding and compassion, and I found a sense of peace even when life was not unfolding according to my plans.
Today, I cannot say that I have all the answers, but I do have much more trust—in myself, in life, and in the path I am walking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do successful people sometimes feel that something is missing despite achieving their goals?
Many people reach a stage in life where they have achieved significant professional success, built meaningful relationships and accomplished goals that once seemed important. Yet despite these achievements, they may begin to feel that something is missing.
This experience is often less about dissatisfaction and more about growth. The identities, habits and ambitions that helped create success in one chapter of life may no longer fully support the next stage of personal development. Questions about meaning, purpose, authenticity and what comes next naturally begin to emerge.
My Identity Journey is designed for people who feel called to explore these questions and consciously step into the next chapter of their lives.
How do I know if I am ready for a new stage of personal or professional growth?
My Identity Journey is the right choice when you notice a growing desire for personal growth, deeper meaning, clarity and inner alignment. You may be ready for a new stage of growth if you find yourself asking questions such as:
- What comes next?
• Is there another way to grow without constantly pushing harder?
• How can I continue achieving without losing connection to myself?
• Who am I becoming in this next chapter of life?
The program is designed for experienced professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders and experts who are ready to integrate what has brought them this far while consciously creating what comes next.
What should I do when the version of success that got me here no longer feels meaningful?
If you feel that the goals, roles and identities that once motivated you no longer provide the same sense of fulfillment, My Identity Journey might be right choice.
These types of signals are an opportunity for growth and transformation. As we evolve, our relationship with success, achievement and meaning naturally evolves as well.
My Identity Journey provides a supportive environment to explore these changes, reconnect with what matters most, and develop a deeper understanding of who you are becoming.
Can this program help me navigate a major life transition or unexpected change?
Yes.
Dealing with the unexpected is one of the core pillars of our program. Some of our participants join My Identity Journey during periods of change, uncertainty, career transitions, relationship changes, loss or moments when life no longer feels aligned with who they are becoming.
While the program does not remove life’s challenges, it can provide a supportive environment for reflection, grounding, increased self-awareness and reconnecting with what matters most.
How is My Identity Journey different from other personal development programs?
Key difference is that program is at the same time structure and intuitive. It brings models and frameworks as well as embodiment practices and modern technological solutions.
In its core My Identity Journey explores the relationship between achievement, inner connection and the ability to navigate life’s unexpected events.
Rather than asking only, “What should I do next?”, participants are invited to explore a more fundamental question: “Who am I becoming?”
Is My Identity Journey coaching, therapy or something else?
My Identity Journey is an experiential development program that integrates insights from leadership development, coaching, somatic practices and personal growth.
The program is not psychotherapy nor is it intended to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it provides a safe environment for reflection, increased self-awareness, and conscious development.
Participants are invited to explore new perspectives, deepen their understanding of themselves, and cultivate greater resilience, presence and alignment.
What results can participants expect from My Identity Journey?
By combining reflection with embodied experiences, participants often discover new ways of relating to themselves, others and life’s challenges. Many report greater clarity in decision-making, improved resilience during uncertainty, deeper self-awareness and a stronger sense of alignment between their external success and internal values.
While every person’s journey is unique, the impact of the experience often continues to unfold long after the program itself has ended.
How can I continue growing without constantly pushing harder?
Almost by the rule, high-achieving individuals have learned to grow through effort, discipline and persistence. While these qualities remain valuable, there often comes a point when growth requires something more than simply working harder.
My Identity Journey explores how sustainable growth can emerge through greater self-awareness, inner connection, reflection and inner alignment. Rather than focusing exclusively on achievement, participants learn to integrate intellectual, emotional, physical and intuitive dimensions of their experience.
This often creates a foundation for growth that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
What kinds of practices are included in the program?
My Identity Journey combines experiential learning, coaching conversations, embodiment practices, breathwork, essential oils, visualization, advanced technological tools and group dialogue.
The purpose of these practices is to support deeper integration and help participants reconnect with themselves on intellectual, emotional, physical and intuitive levels.
The experience is designed to engage the whole person rather than focusing solely on ideas or concepts.
Do I need previous coaching, therapy or personal development experience?
No.
My Identity Journey is designed to provide value both for experienced professionals and leaders, as well as for people who are just beginning their journey of conscious growth.
The program combines reflection, practical frameworks, group dialogue and experiential practices in a way that is both accessible and profound. No previous experience with coaching, therapy, or personal development methodologies is required.
Will I be expected to share personal experiences with the group?
Sharing is always an invitation, never an obligation.
Participants are encouraged to engage at a level that feels appropriate and safe for them. Some people choose to share openly, while others prefer to reflect privately.
Respect, confidentiality and psychological safety are essential elements of the experience.
How emotionally intense is the experience?
My Identity Journey is often experienced as profound, meaningful and at times emotionally moving.
Participants explore important aspects of their lives, relationships, aspirations and unexpected events that have shaped them. For some, this may bring moments of joy, insight, grief, gratitude or vulnerability.
Everything is approached with care, respect and support. Participants are always encouraged to honor their own pace and boundaries.
Is My Identity Journey suitable for people from different cultures and backgrounds?
Yes.
My Identity Journey works with universal aspects of human experience. The nervous system responds to stress, pressure, uncertainty and change in remarkably similar ways across cultures and backgrounds.
While personal stories and life circumstances differ, the human need for meaning, connection, resilience, and growth is shared by people everywhere. The reflective and somatic practices used throughout the program have therefore proven meaningful and effective for participants from diverse cultural environments.
What support is available after the three-day experience?
For many participants, the end of the training marks the beginning of a new chapter rather than the conclusion of the journey.
The insights gained during the experience are intended to be integrated into everyday life. To support this process, participants can continue their development through a six-month integration process through our group on Mighty Networks My Identity Journey platform.
This extended experience provides additional guidance, practices, reflections and resources designed to help participants embody what they have discovered and sustain meaningful change over time.
What if English is not my first language?
Basic conversational English is recommended, as My Identity Journey is an international program conducted primarily in English.
However, participants do not need to be fluent. If specific concepts, instructions, or discussions are difficult to understand, support and translation can be provided when needed.
Because much of the learning takes place through reflection, practice, and direct experience, participants with varying levels of English proficiency can engage meaningfully and benefit deeply from the journey.
Can My Identity Journey be delivered for leadership or executive teams?
Yes.
The principles and philosophy behind My Identity Journey are also available in a corporate format called My Leadership Journey, designed exclusively for senior leadership and executive teams.
The focus is on developing the human capacities that enable leaders to create meaningful impact, build authentic relationships, navigate complexity, and lead transformation in an increasingly demanding world.
Is the program accredited and does it provide ICF credits?
Yes.
My Identity Journey meets rigorous international standards and is fully accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Upon successful completion of the three-day training, participants receive an official certificate and earn 18 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) credits that can be used toward ongoing professional development and ICF credential renewal.
