An Interview with Digital Cover Girl, Model & Life Coach Weronika Rogowska.
How and why did you become a model?
I became a model at the age of 16. A booker from an agency saw me at a shopping mall in Warsaw. He invited me to come to the agency and shortly after, I flew to Tokyo for my first modelling job.
What is the role that a healthy lifestyle plays in your life?
A healthy lifestyle plays an important role in my life - although I do believe in moderation. I work out every day, it’s a matter of disciplie and habit. Sport makes me mentally sharp, energized and fit. It’s healthy to sweat out toxins. I try to eat clean but I’m a foodie. I love exploring restaurants in NYC. I feel very fortunate to live in a place where I have access to all kinds of cuisines.
Why did you decide to pursue a career as a life coach, in addition to modelling?
Modeling isn’t something that lasts forever. No woman should rely on looks and youth. Work gives life sense, and most importantly direction. I feel most fulfilled when I help others. My mother is a psychologist and my father is a doctor so I grew up in environment of “helpers”. Seeing others becoming their best selves makes me happy. I want to guide people on how to discover their potential, break free from toxic behaviors and to love themselves.
How did the pandemic affect you personally, as well as your career?
I like spending time by myself. I’m my own best friend and there are so many interesting things to do and to learn. I am constantly evolving and during pandemic I had a lot of time for myself. I discovered new hobbies: dancing and acting. I started doing Tik Tok videos! I read many books that helped me with self growth. Career wise I just had a break that wasn’t wasted time. I became stronger and more conscious about who I am and what I want.
You are very passionate about mindfulness and mental health. Tell us a little about your blog, trueimage.co!
I have a natural need to help others so I decided to start a blog. I share my own experiences, as well as academic knowledge. I believe that truth is power. We all can make difference in the world and we are more powerful than we think. Consciousness is a key to transformation. My goals is to make other people’s lives better. Giving advice and support, and providing therapy is something that I just love doing. I see my future as a coach and journalist.
