When you've spent years being strong for everyone else, it can be hard to know what you actually want for yourself.
I'm Ela Korjenic. I work one-to-one with adults dealing with burnout, a job or life change, or loss, especially people who look like they're coping and aren't. Online, in English or Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.
A video call to see if coaching fits. If it doesn't, I'll tell you.
What we can work on
You do not have to have it all figured out.
A calm, practical space to understand what is happening, reconnect with what matters to you, and choose your next steps with more clarity and self-trust.
Make sense of where you are
Name what is happening beneath the surface, without pressure to have the right words.
Reconnect with your own direction
Explore what matters to you now, not what you think you should want.
Take the next step with steadiness
Build practical momentum that feels sustainable and true to your life.
A little about me
I know what it means to rebuild.
My own experience of loss, displacement, recovery, and starting over shapes the way I listen. It has taught me that resilience is not about pretending nothing hurts; it is about learning how to move forward with yourself intact. That experience, along with more than 20 years in HR, supporting people through burnout, restructuring, and career change, is what brought me to this work.
This work may be right for you if you look capable from the outside, but inside you feel…
- You've been running on empty for months and a week off doesn't fix it
- A job, a relationship, or a whole country ended, and you haven't found your footing since
- You keep saying yes when you mean no
- You're facing a big decision and don't trust your own judgment right now
- You know something needs to change but can't name what
What it costs
Single sessions start at $100 (€85 in the EU, 70 KM in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The Rebuild, my eight-session programme, is $680. Everything starts with a free 30-minute call.
You do not need to be ready for everything. Just ready for a conversation.
