A Chance Encounter With Anna Lewandowska: A Day That Turned Into Pure Inspiration

Yesterday was supposed to be an ordinary New York day — you know, the usual chaos, deadlines, chocolate production, and my never-ending to-do list. And then… life decided to surprise me.

I found myself at an event organized by Radio Rampa, and suddenly I was standing just a few feet away from Anna Lewandowska — yes, the Anna Lewandowska. World-class trainer, entrepreneur, wellness powerhouse, and wife of legendary soccer icon Robert Lewandowski. Basically, Polish royalty.

And I thought: Well, Kasia… this is definitely not how your Tuesday usually goes.

But it gets better.

The interaction wasn’t rushed or superficial. It was curated, thoughtful, and surprisingly intimate. Anna wasn’t just politely smiling — she was engaged. Curious. Present. She asked participants about their lives, their work, their passions. And when someone like Anna Lewandowska looks at you with genuine interest, you suddenly remember all the things you forgot to brag about in the last ten years.

I instantly thought: Damn… I should’ve brought my Dubai Chocolate.

But the moment that truly hit me — and stayed with me long after the event — was a simple question from the interviewer:

“Who motivates you?”

Most people would’ve said:
“My husband.”
“My kids.”
“My trainer.”
“God.”
“Coffee.”
“YouTube inspirational videos at 1 AM.”

But Anna?
She smiled confidently and said:

“Myself.”

And I swear, the room shifted.

There was something beautifully unapologetic about it. Not ego — but responsibility, clarity, strength.
It was a masterclass in self-awareness packed into one sentence.

She spoke about mental health, and how crucial it is in today’s world — especially for women juggling careers, families, dreams, and the invisible emotional labor Olympics. She emphasized the importance of balance… of checking in with yourself… of not pouring from an empty cup.

Then she talked about health, lifestyle, passion, routines, discipline — but in a way that felt uplifting, not preachy. You could feel her mission, not just hear it.
There was heart. There was humor. There was humility.

Honestly, the whole encounter felt like a cosmic wink — a last-minute surprise that ended up becoming the highlight of my entire day.

I left thinking about how rare it is to meet someone who is both wildly successful and still so grounded. Someone who can command a room without trying. Someone who can make you laugh, make you think, and somehow make you want to go home and reorganize your life immediately… starting with your morning routine.

And of course, because I’m me, I also left thinking:

“She needs to try my Cotton Candy Dubai Chocolate.
She just has to. It’s practically a wellness experience.”

But jokes aside — it was one of those encounters that stays with you.
A reminder that checking in with yourself is not selfish.
A reminder that passion and mission go hand in hand.
A reminder that sometimes, the best motivation really does come from within.

And a reminder that New York — wild, unpredictable New York — loves throwing magical surprises at me when I least expect them.

Yesterday was one of those surprises.
And I’m still smiling
