My Identity Journey
What is “My Identity Journey”?
In a world where change accelerates every day and complexity keeps rising, many of us quietly ask: How do I deal with this fast-changing world and who do I need to become to thrive in it? My Identity Journey was created as a response to that question. It is a personal development program that places identity at the center of growth. Instead of focusing only on skills or motivation, it helps us reconnect with ourselves, access clarity and inner strength, and navigate life with far more intentionality.
At the core of the program are three pillars that reflect the essential capacities needed for modern life:
1. Achievement
In this program, achievement means striving for your best possible results from a place of inner alignment. You give your best with clarity and integrity — but without depending on the final outcome, positive or negative. When identity and action move together, results become stronger and more meaningful, and you remain centered no matter what unfolds.
2. Inner Connection
Inner connection means staying grounded and clear, even when life feels chaotic. It is the ability to listen to your body, trust your intuition, and cultivate calm from within. When you are connected to yourself, you navigate challenges and opportunities with greater stability, clarity, and authenticity.
3. Dealing With the Unexpected
Dealing with the unexpected means meeting sudden changes, opportunities, or challenges with clarity instead of fear.
Life brings both positive surprises and difficult moments … endings, beginnings, transitions, and shocks.
This pillar strengthens your ability to stay centered, adapt, and respond intentionally, so each unexpected moment becomes a doorway to growth rather than a setback.
My Identity Journey invites you to explore who you are becoming and to strengthen the inner architecture that allows you to live, act, and grow with purpose, courage, and clarity.
About the Training
My Identity Journey is a three-day experiential training focused on three essential pillars of personal growth: Achievement, Inner Connection, and Dealing With the Unexpected.
At its core is the understanding of identity as a dynamic, multi-layered structure that shapes how we think, feel, act, and evolve.
The program works with different aspects of identity that can be activated depending on the outcomes we want to create. A key intention is to help participants recognize the aspects they need, embody them physically, and connect them to intentional, aligned behaviors.
When these aspects are activated consciously, they guide us toward meaningful results, influence how we respond to challenges, and shape how we interpret reality. They can support us or create tension, depending on how we work with them.
The training combines multiple approaches: theoretical insights, cognitive and somatic practices, guided breathwork, essential-oil rituals, card-based reflection tools, and light-and-sound brain stimulation to support deeper states of clarity and integration.
Together, these methods open several channels of self-awareness and transformation.
The format blends training and group coaching within a safe, supportive environment designed for deep and lasting personal growth.
The ultimate goal is to help you create a personalized map of self-understanding a tool to continue your journey of self-discovery, while supporting the realization of concrete and meaningful results that are truly your own.
By merging intuitive-emotional and cognitive-rational approaches, the training creates the conditions for a deeper alignment between heart and mind, a synchronization of the brain’s left and right hemispheres. This alignment forms the foundation for entering a state of flow where clarity, presence, and purpose converge.
Who is the Training For?
This program is created for individuals who feel they are entering a new phase of life, people already familiar with personal development who sense that deeper transformation is now needed. Most often, these are individuals in mid-adulthood, standing at a crossroads between stagnation and generativity, choosing growth, meaning, and contribution.
Professionals
Find clarity amidst the noise: Learn how to reduce inner tension, increase personal effectiveness, and act from a place of calm rather than pressure. Discover how success can arise from ease, not struggle.
Give your goals a new meaning: If you’ve already mastered SMART models, it’s time for your goals to start speaking the language of your essence. Personal development becomes your strategy for long-term achievement.
Connect with yourself, then with the world: When you find inner peace, professional challenges stop being a fight—they become a space where you grow.
Parents
Grow so your children can grow: Your personal development is the most valuable gift you can offer your children. When you listen to yourself, you show them that they too have the right to their inner voice.
Find balance that supports the whole family: Learn how to set boundaries with love and be both a support and a role model—without giving up on yourself.
Be the example that inspires: Children don’t absorb what you say—they absorb how you live. This journey helps you live your truth—present, calm, and authentic.
Managers
Align all your roles without losing yourself: You can be a leader, a partner, a parent, and a visionary—at the same time. This training teaches you how to integrate different aspects of your life into a meaningful and sustainable whole.
Lead from authenticity, not from roles: Flexibility and humanity don’t diminish your strength—on the contrary, they make it deeper and more accessible. Learn how to stay connected to yourself while leading others.
Stay calm even in chaos: You’ll learn how to remain centered, present, and clearly focused even in the most challenging situations. The problem isn’t feeling unsettled—the real challenge is not knowing how to return to your inner center.
Trainers and Coaches
Deepening self-awareness is the foundation for guiding others: New techniques only gain true meaning when they come from authentic inner connection. This training brings you back to that inner axis.
Grow alongside your clients: Every new layer of your self-awareness becomes a bridge to deeper empathy and clearer perception of others’ needs. Lead from the balance between structure and essence.
Revive your inspiration: This is your chance to reconnect with what truly drives you—so you can stay motivated even while guiding others through deep transformation.
The program includes several core elements:
A three-day training that blends cognitive and intuitive approaches, grounded in contemporary personal development models, embodiment practices, and validated frameworks.
A clear structure for individual work, helping participants explore their identity and navigate personal transformation through the three pillars: Achievement, Inner Connection, and Dealing With the Unexpected.
An accompanying book that serves as a guide and companion, offering models, stories, reflections, and exercises that deepen integration and support long-term application.
Why is the Program Valuable?
This program is valuable because it strengthens three essential capacities for modern life: striving for meaningful achievement, staying internally connected, and responding authentically to unexpected change.
In everyday life, these dimensions often pull us apart. We chase results and lose ourselves in the process. Or we focus on personal growth while quietly stepping back from tangible goals. Between these extremes, many of us feel divided as if we must choose one side of ourselves over the other.
But do we really need to choose?
Can these dimensions support each other rather than compete?
My Identity Journey is built on that possibility. It is a path toward deeper self-understanding, a stable inner connection, and a grounded, conscious engagement with the world around us. The training develops flexibility, emotional resilience, and the ability to stay centered while taking decisive action.
You move forward not from pressure or fear, but from clarity, alignment, and an authentic connection with inner peace and love, creating a foundation for sustainable success and a more meaningful life.
What to Expect from the Training?
Day 1: Foundations
We open the first day of My Identity Journey with one of the most profound and challenging questions posed by great minds across centuries: “Who am I?”
This question leads us into the heart of the program and its foundational assumptions. In the opening sessions, we explore how identity is formed and transformed throughout life, and how it influences every aspect of our existence – fom the decisions we make to the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
Through interactive sessions and guided exercises, we trace the key stages of identity development and the personal experiences that shape them. Special attention is given to personal goal setting and unexpected life events (how they have shaped us, how we responded, and what meaning we derived from them).
The content is inspired by models such as Logical Levels, as well as the work of classical and contemporary philosophers and psychologists, blended with the rich experience of the facilitators.
We conclude the day with our first integration session: a guided breathing practice, supported by music and deep meditation.
Day 2: Dimensions of Identity and Achievement
The second day focuses on a deeper exploration of the four dimensions of identity – physical, social, intuitive, and psychological – and how they relate to personal achievement.
Through carefully designed experiential activities, participants examine how each dimension shapes their perception, thoughts, reactions, and decision-making. These dimensions are not just traits—they are living parts of us that, when integrated, become powerful resources for goal achievement.
We work on re-connecting with the body as the foundational carrier of identity, opening space for somatic awareness and grounded presence. Using Essence Cards and essential oils, participants access intuition through sensory and symbolic pathways, uncovering insights that lie beneath conscious awareness.
We also explore the roles we occupy in daily life – within families, teams, partnerships – and how these roles influence our identity. Working with Jungian archetypes, we illuminate the internal patterns and symbolic forces that guide our behavior and shape the way we relate to the world.
By the end of the day, each participant begins to build their personal identity map—a living system where every dimension has its own voice, meaning, and potential to contribute to clarity, inner peace, and intentional action. This wholeness becomes the basis for results that are both measurable and meaningful.
Day 3: Integration and Action!
The final day is dedicated to connecting with one’s core essence – the authentic self that exists beyond roles, titles, and social masks. The focus is on integrating the insights gained throughout the training and translating them into concrete actions that shape your life going forward.
Through structured reflection and guided processes, participants learn to consciously navigate between different aspects of their identity and their core self – choosing, in each moment, how they wish to show up.
A personal six-month transformation plan is developed, including clear, measurable goals that are aligned with internal values and clarity.
We close the program with a powerful integration session, combining breathing techniques, music, and guided meditation. This final experience creates space for deep internal alignment and opens the door for what comes next.
As Mahatma Gandhi said: “If you want to change the world, start with yourself.”
Six-Month Follow-Up - optional
Many personal development programs fail due to a lack of follow-up activities. Believing that continuous development is key to lasting transformation, our commitment to your progress doesn’t end after the training. During the six-month period, we will:
- monitor your progress,
- provide support, and
- help you stay on the right track to achieving your goals.
This will be achieved through monthly online follow-up sessions and monitoring your development using the identity journey maps you create during the training.
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 is written as a responce to a quiet but powerful need many people feel today: the desire to bring who we are into harmony with how we live, what we choose, and how we show up in the world. It speaks to people who have achieved meaningful things but sense a gap between outer success and inner clarity. To those who feel ready for a more grounded relationship with themselves by entering it with greater presence and truth.
Through a blend of theory, practical tools, and guided reflection, the book explores four key dimensions of identity – physical, psychological, social, and intuitive. It offers a structure for integrating these dimensions into a coherent inner compass that supports authentic achievement, emotional stability, and resilience in a world of constant change.
My Identity Journey is ultimately an invitation to understand yourself as an evolving system, to accept yourself fully and completly and to walk your path with greater peace, alignment, and intention in every step.
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.
Understanding personal identity is a complex process, and realizing that we carry multiple identities, not just one, is like stepping into the magical realm of our own psyche.
Going through “My Identity Journey” with Pedja, who holds the space with balance, calm, and deep presence, was a transformative recognition of everything that has shaped me so far, and everything that is possible to create ahead. There are no words that can fully capture the experience of those three days, and days that have followed since.
At the end of the training, my honest evaluation was:
“You’re an idiot for not creating and launching this sooner.”
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.
I want to share my experience from the “My Identity Journey” workshop led by Peđa and Šćepanka – an encounter that left a strong impression on me and triggered important insights.
The workshop was carefully structured, a combination of inspirational introduction, personal stories and deep practical work. I especially liked the atmosphere of safety and authenticity, in which I could connect with myself in an honest and open way. The card that I symbolically drew and the smell of the essential oil further directed me to the inner themes that were important at that moment.
The meditation led by Šćepanka was powerful and healing. I felt clarity and calmness that I carry with me even today. I connected with myself on a deeper level, and managed to see some topics from a completely new and clearer perspective.
I am grateful to Peđa and Šćepanka for their commitment, openness and knowledge that they selflessly shared. I recommend “My Identity Journey” to everyone who wants to get to know themselves more deeply and create space for change, whether personal or professional.
In the first part of the workshop, Pedja guided us through the different dimensions of identity, explaining how these aspects can act as limiting factors, as well as how we can transform them into driving forces, which allow us to respond appropriately to events that are beyond our control.
The second part of the workshop was led by Stepanka, who led us through meditation and breathing exercises in order to connect with the goals we set. This segment provided a deep, reflective experience, connecting our identities with our goals.
Overall, this workshop, expertly led by Pedja and Stepanka, was a fantastic experience. Their rich experience in coaching has been translated into the “My Identity Journey” program, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and initiate profound changes on all levels.
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.
Pedja and Štěpánka are a truly unique duo – I’ve never encountered such a combination of expertise, warmth, and depth. Over the course of three days, they guided us deep into ourselves, helped us reconnect with our true essence, and opened doors to experiences that can’t be understood by logic alone. For me, it felt like meeting a part of myself again after years of silence, a part I thought was gone forever.
This was my first “My Identity Journey” experience, but it certainly won’t be my last.
Working with them awakened parts of me I didn’t even know existed. If you have the chance, join the program. Everyone should go through “My Identity Journey” at least once in their life.
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.
My husband, Srdjan, and I came here seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves and our individual visions. What we experienced was far more powerful, it helped us align our visions and goals for the future.
If you’re ready to do the same, this journey is worth taking.
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.
