Beyond Achievement and Algorithms: Finding Authenticity in a Digital Age
Sat Dec 06 2025
Welcome to the "Be an EncouragerPodcast"!"—where real stories of transformation, faith, and redemption come to life. I’m your host, Claribel Coreano. Today, I am absolutely thrilled to welcome an incredible woman to the show—Dr. Agnieszka Piotrowska.
Dr. Piotrowska is a distinguished filmmaker, academic, and certified life coach whose work shines a light on theinvisible stories we carry—especially the struggles behind outward success such as anxiety, burnout, or a lingering sense of unfinished business. Through her platform The Scholars’ Mentor, she supports international PhD studentsand accomplished professionals, helping them reclaim their voice and direction through honest dialogue, creative exploration, and an emotionally nuancedapproach.
Her career is as diverse as it is impactful. Trained at the BBC and holding a PhD in psychoanalysis, she has directed award-winning documentaries—including Married to the Eiffel Tower—and held leadership positions at universities across Europe and Africa. Her work weaves together creativity, ethics, media storytelling, and human transformation, reminding us of the responsibility and power we hold when telling people’s stories.
What truly sets her apart is her depth and integrity. Unlike surface-level coaching that relies on quick fixes, Dr.Piotrowska challenges us to embrace discomfort, complexity, and authenticity as the true paths to growth. She blends intellect with compassion, offering fresh insights into trauma, self-sabotage, and the contradictions of ambition—alwayswith warmth and a deep respect for the human spirit.
As today’s guest, she brings a rare combination of sharp analysis, lived experience, and genuine curiosity. I canpromise you, this is a conversation that will leave you reflecting long after the episode ends. Again, we welcomeDr. Piotrowska
