An Introduction to Becoming Flawesome
Perfection. We all dream of living by it, feeling it, being it...
And it is in the name of perfection, we demonize our flaws, make ourselves ‘less-than,’
and render ourselves vulnerable to the shame of not being good enough.
We live in a society that subliminally encourages us to wear metaphorical masks, slay
our inner sadness, and ignore our imperfections, or as Kristina refers to them, her
‘dragons.’
Even within the world of personal development and spirituality, toxic
perfectionism lurks in the shadows.
In Kristina’s upcoming book Becoming Flawesome, she reflects on her own story, her
battle against perfectionism, and what it took for her to return to what she now deems
to be her most authentic self.
Readers can expect to be taken on a psychological tour through the inner building
blocks of their own self-love and authenticity in order to create a home within
themselves.
Throughout Becoming Flawesome, as well as being challenged to answer some of the
most difficult questions about themselves, readers are provided with all the tools and
techniques they would ever need for a life lived in happiness, power, and emotional
mastery.
Being described as “10 years worth of therapy in one book,” Becoming Flawesome is
a celebration of our whole selves, warts and all, and the glory that is to be found in living
in our truth.
Book Highlights
Becoming Flawesome brings about many questions within the reader, and covers a
wide range of topics. As is aligned with Kristina’s values regarding the quality of a truly
great book, Becoming Flawesome is a journey, rather than a destination.
Describing the contents of the book on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and
Twitter as well as delving into the content via emails could be challenging for a
copywriter who has not read the manuscript.
For this reason, copywriters may use the following book highlights as hooks.
In Becoming Flawesome, Kristina takes readers by the hand and heart through the
following paradigms:
● The dark, controversial side of ‘personal growth,’ and the insecurities that thrive
on it
● What authenticity actually is, beyond the buzz
● Self-care vs self-love, and why you need both
● The ‘Hermione Syndrome,’ and how to diagnose if you’re secretly suffering from
it
● How to create aligned lifestyle habits that stick
● Why the more you judge others, the more you judge yourself
● Societal masks, and how to remove them from your psyche
● Imposter syndrome in the world of high-flyers
● Emotional literacy: how to cope with strong, painful emotions healthily
Topics covered in the book:
● vulnerability, authenticity, self-criticism, habits, quality of life, optimism,
awareness, perfection, imperfection, social roles and masks, healing,
self-acceptance, defense mechanisms, dealing with emotions, healing,
happiness, courage, lifestyle, self-care, self-love, healing, philosophy, honesty,
entrepreneurship.
Quotes
1. Authenticity will become your trusty passport on the path back to yourself.
2. Vulnerability is like chocolate - too much of a good thing can become bad. Too much
vulnerability isn’t a vulnerability, rather, it’s tyranny - an unhealthy unloading of emotion.
3. The only person whose rejection you have to fear is your own. As long as you can accept
yourself, the world has no choice but to accept you as well. And if it doesn’t, you won’t give a
damn anyway.
4. But what if that resistance you feel is your heart and intuition giving you signals that you are
going full speed ahead...in the wrong direction?
5. And that, I believe, is why so many people struggle with self-love and self-acceptance.
Because the object of their self-love is an idea in their heads. That version of themselves
doesn’t actually exist yet. And the further that idea is from the Real You, the harder it is to
love yourself
6. It is on the top of Mount Olympus when you are left alone with the ultimate truth...and your
demons for company.
7. You will see clearly only that which you are looking for.
8. Solving a deeply painful problem is like peeling off layers of an onion. You’ll get to the teary
part, but first, you’ll have to take off those old, dry outer layers.
9. I believe the biggest problem of contemporary society is emotional analgesia. We learn
to ignore emotional pain, focusing on the positive and demanding good vibes only, slapping
on band-aids and popping paracetamols to feel better, while our lives break and deteriorate
from undetected trauma.
10. The people that you love do not need your sacrifice - they want you to be happy. Not only is
your sacrifice of personal happiness is pointless, but it is also a heavy burden on those for
whom you so selflessly want to make the offering.
11. Our brain is like an overbearing parent who wants their child to be safe at any cost. Or a
slightly creepier analogy - it is like our own personal matrix keeping us content and unaware.
So, it would be right to say that self-deception is not really you lying to yourself, but your
brain tricking you into viewing the world in a way that is most beneficial to you.
12. You only have a problem with other people to the extent that you have a problem with
yourself.
13. Change is not a natural consequence of pain, it is a sign of healing.
14. You will charge your phone not out of love for this particular piece of machinery, but because
you wouldn’t be able to use it if its battery was flat.
15. Self-care is about surviving, while self-love is about thriving.
16. As cliché as it may be, indecision is, in and of itself, a decision.
17. It is because you feel shame or guilt for prioritizing yourself that it is so intimidating to voice
your priorities to the world.
18. They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but so is the ugliness, the irritation, and
the disgust.
19. And that, my friends, is how transformation happens - it is when your knowledge is lived
through your experience, or when your experience is supported by your knowledge. But
ultimately - you will always need both.
20. But having emotions, wearing masks, and playing roles aren’t the issue. The real problem
arises when you start identifying yourselves with them and forget who you truly are - who the
real ‘you’ is hiding behind those decorations.
21. Your dragons will not cease to exist, no matter how well you build the walls of spirituality
around them.
22. Compromise is often the epitome of indecision.
23. I hate to share unfashionable news, but deception is human nature.
24. We lie to bridge the gap between reality and how we would actually like it to be.
25. Honesty is a sharp weapon. And you have to learn to use it properly before you start wielding
it.
26. I believe that happiness is of the greatest importance. But not only this - I believe that
happiness must be actively trained as a skill.
27. You can be kind when you are sad, grieved, upset, and angry. You can always be kind.
Always.
28. Like the princess and the pea, your ego will get bruised even if the pea of bad news is
hidden under layers and layers of down and feather
29. If kindness is at the heart of the message, the wound will start healing as soon as the blow is
dealt.
30. Honesty, no matter how necessary, has to be laden with kindness. For honesty without
kindness is mean, cruel, and unhelpful.
31. Honesty and kindness have to go in tandem since neither is any good without the other.
32. Your success is proportional to the size of your comfort zone.
33. People don’t like being on the receiving end of charity and, furthermore, despise mercy. They
may need gratuitous help sometimes, but humans of all kinds and sorts, even the most
miserable and marginalized creatures, have dignity and a keen sense of self.
34. If misery is what you have, then misery is all you can afford to give and when you give
misery, it doesn’t magically turn into abundance once it changes hands.
35. Your relationship with the world is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.
36. You will do this world a great favor if you allow yourself to prioritize your own happiness.
37. I was 40 when I started suspecting that I was living a lie. Not a bad lie. Not a complete and
utter lie. Just a little pretending, a mask here and there, a little playing along to fit in
38. And if we accept this utopian world as a possibility, how much would we actually want to be
stuck in it? Imagine an overexposed photograph with lots of light and no shadows - it may
look gloriously lit, but without shadows, without depth, without perspective, it will feel flat and
two-dimensional. Flat, like a flat line on an ECG machine - stone-cold dead.

Becoming Flawesome
The Key to Living an Imperfectly Authentic Life
Introduction
Let’s Begin
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a good book has to start with a proper introduction.
And by “proper” I mean that it has to prime the reader for the journey, raise excitement and set
expectations, explain the process, and make reading the book an experience both profitable and
smooth. After all, we are about to spend some time together on this journey.
Therefore, I was not surprised when on the first meeting with my publisher I was asked if I
would consider writing a proper introduction to my book. You see—the original manuscript started
with a story of me pondering my future book while standing in the shower, warm water running
down my back, and my finger absentmindedly drawing random patterns on the fogged-up glass.
I started this book during the long years of successive COVID confinements, and I was planning
to self-publish it because I wanted the freedom to make decisions about the book—how to write,
what to write, what stories to include, what kind of experience to offer to my reader. So, naturally, it
wasn’t following any universally acknowledged truths or conventions.
Yet, by the time I had to present my book-baby to the world, I felt that I wanted to give it the
best possible future, and I had to face the big decision between my heart and my brain: Will it be
self-published (heart), or will I work with a traditional publisher (brain)? Going the traditional way
meant facing more choices between my quirky and obstinate self-expression and conventional
ways of doing things.
This book is about finding your way back to yourself, about understanding who you really are,
accepting your dents and scratches, your quirky uniqueness, and even your flaws. It is about
thriving in being unapologetically you, most flawesomely.
This book has been through the hands of several editors ever since I put the last stop on its
original manuscript. This journey has been both emotional and transformative for me. I had to face
my biggest dragon by far—my obstinate need for pure self-expression—over and over again.
When do you follow convention, and when do you stick to your own principles and values?
There is no simple answer to this question, except you have to learn to balance.
If you follow all the rules that your peers expect you to follow, you bet all there is on a slim
chance of the grand prize, but you do it at the price of your own unique self-expression. At times, I
felt like I had to “sell my soul to the devil” for a chance at success.
But if you obstinately stick to your own unique quirks and principles, you might end up being
unheard and misunderstood so universally that there is no point in writing a book. For it is the
readers who make a writer. Without the readers, a book is just a private diary.
Reader, will you judge me if I tell you that this book is a delicate balance between convention
and my own uniqueness? Of course, I want you to succeed. But I cannot give you the proper
introduction to my book because every book is a journey. This book has been my journey, and
now it is yours. I walked my path to my true self, to understand what makes me truly me . . .
and what of that unique quirkiness is simply noise. You see, your flaws and your dragons are there
for a reason—they make you who you are, but they also hold the key to your biggest value, to
your mightiest strengths, if you choose to look your dragons in the eye.
Now I am hoping that you will take this journey with me to your unique destination—to find
the path back to you. I will be your companion on this journey, but it is yours to take.
So why wouldn’t I tell you what’s ahead? Imagine if Gandalf told Bilbo Baggins that on his
journey, he would encounter trolls, go through a perilous enchanted forest, and face a dragon in a
faraway mountain.1 Wouldn’t that be a bit of a spoiler?
I want you to take this journey back to you without any spoilers, with an open heart, and trust
that the destination is going to be worth your effort. Because becoming flawesome is the best gift
you can give to yourself.
So, if you are ready, let’s begin!
Chapter 1
AUTHENTICITY OF THE SECOND DEGREE
The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.
— RITA MAE BROWN
“I’ve missed you,” said my friend when I walked into the office one day. Without even thinking, I
blurted out: “I missed me too!”
I said it, and suddenly, like a vinyl record that had been forcefully stopped with a screeching
sound, I paused and gasped. I was missing myself. Myself?!
Don’t get me wrong. I was fully functional and operating at 100 percent. I was showing up in
the office, attending meetings, going to events and costume parties, speaking on stage, hanging
out with friends, and being an engaged parent. Some even called me an inspiration.
But I was moving around in a fog, living my life but, actually, just whiling away the time given to
me. And while my life was happening, I was missing one important ingredient—myself.
When did I slip away and move on without noticing the missing protagonist of my own movie?
I was 40 when I started suspecting that I was living a lie. Not a bad lie. Not a complete and utter
lie. Just a little pretending—a mask here and there, a little playing along to fit in.
Just about . . . 5 percent of a lie. And 95 percent true.
But can one be 95 percent honest and authentic? I think that authenticity and honesty are
absolutes. Authenticity is binary. You are either authentic or not. And so is honesty—you are either
honest or not. You cannot be mostly honest. Or mostly authentic.
There is this funny exchange in one of my favorite novels by Bulgakov, The Master and
Margarita. The exchange happens between the main antagonist, Woland, and a manager of a
restaurant. Woland says that the fish in the restaurant is rotten, and the manager replies: “It was
delivered yesterday, it was second-degree fresh.” To which Woland replies: “There’s only one
degree of freshness—the first, which makes it also the last. If the fish is second-degree fresh, it
means it’s rotten.”
And so, by the age of 40, I was done with the “second-degree authenticity.” I longed to be
myself, fully, unapologetically, 100 percent.
I was lost. And I wanted to find the path back to myself.
Reflection Points
Throughout this book, I am going to invite you to pause for a moment and ask yourself
questions. I call such exercises “moments of introspection.” I believe that true growth is fuelled by
curiosity. It is not my ideas that matter, but the questions you ask yourself.
And the first question that I invite you to ask yourself is this:
Why did you decide to read this book?
What made you pick up a book about becoming flawesome and living authentically? Curiosity?
Advertising? Your own questions that you are trying to find answers to? And what do you expect to
achieve by reading this book?
Your journey back to yourself is yours to take, and its success depends on how committed you
are to this path.
Chapter 2
ARE YOU LOST?
Sometimes when you lose your way, you find yourself.
— MANDY HALE
“How are the kids doing?”
I’m used to this question. It is civil and a very common way to start a conversation with someone
who is a parent. I don’t mind such icebreakers, and, like any parent, I like to talk about my children.
However, I know full well that people don’t want to hear long accounts of how someone else’s
children are doing at school, about their achievements in sports or music, and other such details.
Especially those without kids themselves. They are quite happy with a short summary:
“Hayden is taller than me now and speaks in a deep voice. And they are doing great, of course.”
Then there comes an awkward pause and the sideways tilt, their body language screaming that the
conversation is over.
My kids are an important part of my life, and I love my children more than anything. I am a very
engaged parent—I spend time with my kids, I ask questions, I know their friends, their events and
deadlines; I know what interests them, what they like, and what they don’t like.
My kids are an important part of my life. But they are not all that there is in my life. I have my
work, my mission. I have my company, my team. I’m a writer and an author. I have friends, and I
travel the world. I have interests, and I am curious about life, politics, social issues—so many
things!
Every time this used to happen to me, I would flare up internally. “Why do you only ask me
about my children? Can we talk about other things? Do you know other things in my life are important to me?”
And then the Good Mom in me would start shaming the Obstinate Attention Seeker. “You love
your kids. You are a good mother. What are you upset about? Are you upset that people don’t
know that you do other things besides mothering? How dare you feel incomplete?! Being a mother
is so important. It is your ego. Shut up and be happy!”
What brilliant advice! And completely useless.
Have you ever felt guilty for what you feel? Have you ever thought that you are not supposed
to feel what you feel–that it is somehow wrong or inappropriate?
“I shouldn’t feel upset because of such a trifle—there is a lot of real suffering in the world.”
“I shouldn’t feel so worried about this situation—I know I’m just overthinking.”
“I shouldn’t feel so angry with this person—I choose love.”
“I shouldn’t feel so down for no reason—I have so much to be grateful for.”
“I shouldn’t feel so misunderstood for not being acknowledged—I don’t need external
validation.”
“I shouldn’t feel so excited about being praised—I don’t need external validation.”
“I shouldn’t feel so heartbroken—this person wasn’t good for me.”
“I shouldn’t feel so bored with my kids/friends/family—I love them.”
“I shouldn’t feel so bored with my work—I love what I do.”
“I shouldn’t feel so unmotivated—I have to cheer up.”
And so it goes. You internally say, “I shouldn’t feel . . .” and you fill in the blank.
How often do you tell yourself that you should be feeling something entirely different from what
you are actually feeling at that moment? And when you catch yourself with an unwanted feeling,
what do you do with it? Do you tell yourself how you are supposed to be feeling instead? Do you
force yourself to shake it off, cheer up, get over it, and rise above it?
That is how we are used to dealing with adversity. That is what we are told. Depending on the
situation, your advice might be absolutely appropriate. But good advice must come at a good time.
And the timing of such advice may be a little premature when you are forcing it at a time when what
you are feeling is the exact opposite.
People have a funny tendency to brush over the unpleasant and the uncomfortable, and to
rush straight into how it is supposed to be in a perfect world. And if we don’t have the skill to deal
with the unpleasant and the uncomfortable, we try to push through it, rush over to the other side,
and force it out of our system. We make ourselves feel bad for what we feel—this is how we lose
ourselves.
You cannot shame and guilt yourself out of what you feel. It doesn’t work like that. We’ll go
deeper into unwanted feelings and how to deal with them in Part IV of this book. Meanwhile, let’s
come back to our original question: How did you become a missing person in your own life?
Reflection Points
Over the next few days, pay attention to your thoughts and catch yourself whenever you think
that what you are feeling is somehow “wrong.” Ask yourself these questions:
• What am I feeling right now?
• What do I not like about this feeling?
• What would I like to feel instead?
• How does this contradiction make me feel?
You can start a journal and write down all your realizations at the end of each day. It will help
you get clarity, integrate new ideas, and get unlost by becoming better at recognizing how you
really feel.
Conclusion
THERE ARE NO RECIPES IN LIFE
Life is simple and deep, but we make it shallow and complicated.
— VEENA
“So, what is your recipe for a happy life?” was the final question of the interview. I had been
invited to a morning show on an Estonian radio station. It was a beautiful conversation, and the
final question was probably meant for me as a hint to give a bit of inspiration to the listeners. Yet
what could I have replied? I am pathologically honest, I cannot throw out feel-good phrases and
cheerful clichés just to please someone—anyone, really. And so I gave the only possible
answer—what I really truly thought was the case—that there is no recipe, there are no one-size-fits
all, happily-ever-after ending.
And if you do happen to come across a one-size-fits-all, happily-ever-after recipe for
happiness, it is just as fictional as the inscription on the dark, magical signpost in the Russian fairy
tales.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful, though, to have such a recipe? Or a tutorial for a happy, fulfilled, and
successful life, which would be given to us at birth. All we would have to do is follow it
systematically and get it down to a tee. As a Good Girl and a perfectionist with Hermione
Syndrome, I would definitely be spectacularly happy and successful, no doubt. I’m great at
following orders.
But life doesn’t operate like that. There are no checklists, no “to-do” and “not-to-do” lists to
achieve true sustainable success, no tutorial for real happiness, and no recipe for a model life. There’s
a lot of good (and bad) advice out there, but it is not always a good match for everyone’s life
circumstances. What works for some will not work for others. What works in certain circumstances,
might not work in other circumstances. What works for you today, maybe the exact opposite of
what you need tomorrow.
If anything, life is spontaneous, unpredictable, unique, and ever-changing. Life is full of
opposites and contradictions that beautifully coexist. Night follows the day, and day follows night.
Darkness follows the light and light follows the darkness. Spring follows winter and autumn follow
summer. Death follows birth and birth follows death. And so it goes on in constant motion, eternally
changing and shifting.
That is why people ask for a recipe—to deal with life’s spontaneity, uncertainty, and
contradictions, to bring order into the confusion. And it’s totally understandable. Yet it is our attempt
at making uncertain things certain that creates complexity. When we try to simplify the model and
come up with a how-to tutorial, we chase our own tails. So close, yet so far.
When we think that we can prepare in advance for everything that life has in store for us,
when we try to solve our problems before they even emerge, we delude ourselves. All of these
attempts at taming and bridling life create more problems for you than ease.
And if searching for hacks, shortcuts, and foolproof rules wasn’t silly enough, there is a curse
in our industry—obstinate one-sidedness. We glorify everything that we deem light and good, and,
consequently, we demonize everything opposite of that—the dark and painful. We overlook our
flaws, and, therefore, we overlook our flawesomeness.
As if, somehow, there can be only love without fear, only hope without desperation, only joy
without sadness, only compassion without anger.
As if, somehow, anything painful and unpleasant is a learned concept to be unlearned and
eradicated.
As if, somehow, a utopian world of pure love, bliss, joy, and light without a shadow of pain is
possible.
And if we accept this utopian world as a possibility, how much would we actually want to be
stuck in it? Imagine an overexposed photograph with lots of light and no shadows—it may look
gloriously lit, but without shadows, without depth, without perspective, it will feel flat and two-
dimensional. Flat, like a flatline on an ECG machine—stone-cold dead.
Few know that you cannot numb emotions selectively. If you numb pain, you numb pleasure
just as much. If you numb sadness, you numb joy as well. If you numb fear, you numb courage with
it. Just like shadows and contrast give texture, depth, perspective, and definition to a photograph,
just like darkness gives meaning to light, so do we need the duality in life—its opposites and
contradictions.
Not only do we need this duality for contrast and definition, but it is truly the natural state of
things. I like the way American philosopher Ken Wilber explains this concept:
“Spirit is not the good half of the opposites, but the ground of all the opposites, and our
‘salvation,’ as it were, is not to find the good half of the dualism, but to find the Source of
both halves of the dualism, for that is what we are in truth.”
Put simply, every opposite is birthed from the same source. And so, life must be embraced in
its entirety, with both halves of duality, as a beautiful mix of the opposites.
If we accept the entirety of life, its contradictions, unpredictability, uncertainty, and spontaneity,
then it becomes obvious that one cannot create a single recipe for a “perfect” life. Life is not about
following a script, sticking to instructions, or prescribing every next step. It is not a military march, but
rather a ballroom dance where life itself is your partner. You need to know the steps and rules of
each particular dance, of course, but you will only be able to perform if you are in tune with your
As the world-renowned philosopher Alan Watts once said, life is a dance, not a destination.
And you will accidentally stand on your partner’s foot at times. You’ll glide like a professional at
others. You’ll mess up the steps one day and nail them the next. It doesn’t matter. Because that’s
what makes you flawesome.
And it’s when we come to love, accept, and integrate our flawesomeness, our true selves,
where the dance gets interesting, fun, and fulfilling. Studying for personal growth is like learning the
steps and drilling your dance technique, but your dance is, and forever will be, uniquely yours.
Uniquely flawesome.
