Mira’s Story
Hi there! I’m Mira Nikolova, the founder of LifeUp Mentors. My story starts in Bulgaria, where I grew up before moving to the United States with just $100 as an au pair. This big leap was the start of an incredible journey that saw me earning a second master’s degree in finance, where I was proud to be among the top students, and working and studying simultaneously to support myself.
Beyond my academic and career achievements, my life’s most fulfilling role is being a mother. Raising a family in a multilingual environment has been a challenging and enriching experience, bridging cultures and broadening perspectives right at home.
Life, as it often does, threw me a curveball in 2012 when I faced a tough period of burnout and depression. This challenging time turned into a path of personal growth. It led me to explore different self-improvement methods, which have deeply impacted my life and how I view challenges. The lessons I learned have been transformative, not just for me but also in how I guide others as a life coach.
My professional path has been diverse, with experiences in software quality assurance, IT, and finance. These roles have not only helped my problem-solving skills but also given me a practical approach to life’s opportunities. My background truly helps me connect with professionals across various sectors, understanding the unique pressures in corporate, IT, and the finance industries.
Being a mother and a professional who has gone through burnouts, I also understand the complexities of managing multiple roles under stress. At LifeUp Mentors, we focus on practical, tailored strategies that fit into your unique life circumstances. We’re not just about setting goals – we’re about creating sustainable, fulfilling paths to achieve them.
My approach is also culturally sensitive. I’ve traveled throughout Europe and Africa and have gained experiences that have allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures and understand the universal nature of human aspirations and overcoming challenges.
LifeUp Mentors was born out of a desire to share learnings, experiences, and connect people. It stands as a platform where we guide others in navigating their personal and professional lives. Whether it’s tackling career challenges, managing family life, or personal growth, our team is here to offer support, strategies, and insights.
What I bring to you through LifeUp Mentors is more than coaching; it’s a commitment to help you achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. Our mission is to empower you to realize your potential, face challenges with confidence, and embrace life’s journey with optimism.
