Justyna Cichosz – Sovereign Woman

01The art of being yourself

There comes a moment when a woman stops overlooking herself.

Not because she suddenly knows everything. But she begins to recognise more clearly what is hers, to take herself into account more often, and to make decisions she can stand behind.

Perhaps you don't need another answer from the outside. Perhaps you already know what isn't serving you – you simply keep treating that knowledge as if it weren't there.

Applications
5–25 September 2026
Process begins

For this edition, I am accepting no more than five women for individual work.

02 · The quiet before the decision

From the outside many things look good. Inside, more and more often, you feel that not everything in your life is truly yours.

The quiet before the decision

Perhaps for a long time you were the one who could handle it. You take responsibility, support others, make decisions and deliver what's needed. At the same time you see ever more clearly the price you pay for constantly putting yourself off until later.

This space may be for you if:

  • you say “yes” while feeling “no” inside
  • you take responsibility for other people's emotions and needs at your own cost
  • you face a decision and no longer know which arguments are yours
  • you're in the middle of a change, or past one, and trying to find yourself again
  • you already know a lot about yourself, yet that knowledge doesn't always become a choice
  • you want to live more calmly and more your own way – without building another perfect version of yourself
It isn't about becoming better. It's about abandoning yourself less and less.

03 · Two ways of working

What do you need right now?

Not every situation calls for a long process. Sometimes you need to pause with one decision. Sometimes you already see that the same way of giving yourself up returns in different areas of life.

Session

Point of Choice

A single individual session for a woman facing a specific decision, conversation or change, who wants to hear herself more clearly.

Over 75–90 minutes we look at what is really at stake, separate your voice from fear, pressure and other people's expectations, and look for a next step you can stand behind. After the session you receive a short summary and a practice for the following seven days.

I won't make the decision for you. I'll help you see from what place you want to make it.

Process

The Sovereign Woman™ process

A twelve-session process for a woman who sees that it's no longer about one decision. The same mechanism returns in relationships, boundaries, work, or the way she treats her own needs.

This is individual work on regaining contact with yourself and carrying your own recognitions into everyday choices. The process has defined foundations and direction, yet stays attuned to you, your situation and your pace.

12 individual 90-minute sessions, inner work and integration between meetings.

04 · A mirror, not a test

How much are you on your own side today?

This is not a test and there are no right or wrong answers. It's a few questions to help you see where you take yourself into account, and where you still more often choose under the influence of fear, habit or other people's expectations.

It will take a few minutes. It may, however, name something you've been putting aside for a long time.

05 · The original method

An individual path, defined foundations

The process has structure. Your path remains individual.

The Sovereign Woman Method™ is an original path of process that combines conscious reflection with work on emotions, needs, the body, the subconscious and real choice. Its purpose isn't to move you through a set of identical modules, but to help you recognise what in your experience asks to be noticed, named and carried into life.

Depending on what you need, conversation can be complemented by writing, metaphor, creative action or an experiential exercise. I draw on different tools, but none of them becomes more important than you and your experience.

The full architecture of the Sovereign Woman Method™ is part of my know-how and reveals itself in the work – to the extent and at the pace that serve a particular process.

It isn't about more knowledge about yourself. It's about what you begin to do with what you already know.

06 · How the process is organised

How is the Sovereign Woman™ process organised?

The process covers 12 individual 90-minute sessions. We meet as a rule once a week – online or, by prior arrangement and if organisational conditions allow, in person in Warsaw.

Between sessions you receive practices, questions or invitations to inner work chosen for the process. They are not another list of obligations. They help you notice how what you discover during sessions shows up in your relationships, decisions and everyday life.

The calendar may also include planned integration weeks. This is time for independent observation and for testing new recognitions in practice. You'll receive the detailed schedule before the collaboration begins.

  • 12 individual 90-minute sessions
  • meetings as a rule once a week
  • practices and materials between sessions
  • two variants of collaboration differing in the scope of contact between meetings
  • online or, by arrangement, in person in Warsaw

I present the financial terms and the scope of both variants during the intro conversation. You don't have to decide during it.

Price of the premiere edition

The price of the premiere edition starts from PLN 6,900.

Payment in three parts is possible – from PLN 2,400.

Two variants of collaboration are available. I present the detailed scope of both variants and the full financial terms during the intro conversation.

08 · Possible directions

What you may begin to notice

Painted collage: a woman emerging into clear light

I don't assume in advance what will change in your life. Every woman arrives with a different story and moves through this process differently.

There are, however, areas where more clarity, more choice and more contact with yourself may appear during our shared work.

  • 01

    Decisions

    You begin to recognise better what shapes your choice and from what place you make it.

  • 02

    Boundaries

    You notice earlier the moments when you agree to something at your own cost, and look for your own way of saying “yes” and “no”.

  • 03

    Relationships

    You see more clearly where you meet another person, and where you take over responsibility for their emotions or give yourself up.

  • 04

    Inner calm

    You create more space between what you feel and an automatic reaction.

  • 05

    Self-trust

    You learn to take your own needs, values and limits into account, and to take responsibility for your decisions without handing others the right to decide for you.

These are possible directions of the process, not a promise of the same result for every woman.

09 · Voices

What women began to see and choose differently

Through this work I understood that I can choose. That I have influence over my life, and I don't have to hand that control to others. I started seeing patterns I'd been living in for years – especially in relationships and decisions. Today I make decisions much more calmly, and much more in alignment with myself.
Anna · manager
I feel I'm the driver of this vehicle. Maybe for the first time in my life, I sense that I decide which way I go. I learned to set boundaries and stop taking responsibility for everything and everyone. It gives me deep calm – and a sense that I can rely on myself.
Elżbieta · dentist
I'm in much better contact with myself. I hear and feel myself more clearly, instead of running on autopilot. I've started to take my own needs into account, and no longer say yes to everything at my own cost. It changed my relationships too – they're calmer, more real.
Karolina · team lead
At first I was afraid about my professional situation, and I carried a lot of uncertainty. Today that fear is much smaller, and I make more conscious decisions. I had the courage to stand up for myself, and to say what I want. I saw I can do it calmly – without tension, but clearly.
Magda · attorney-at-law
I saw how much I was carrying responsibility for everyone around me. I started giving more space – to myself, and to my family. Our relationships changed – there's more calm, less tension. And I finally have time for myself, and a sense of more lightness.
Renata · interior & garden designer

Each of these voices describes an individual experience. The course and results of the process may be different for every woman.

10 · About me

I don't tell women how to live. I help them hear how they want to live.

Justyna Cichosz – founder of Sovereign Woman
Justyna Cichosz

My name is Justyna Cichosz. For many years I worked in a world of responsibility, decisions, negotiations and management. I was the one who could organise, anticipate and deliver. From the outside, many things added up. Inside, I felt ever more clearly that simply coping is not yet living in alignment with yourself.

My path didn't begin with one spectacular decision. It was made of many moments in which I had to stop asking only what the world expected of me, and start checking what was true for me. It held career changes, divorce, motherhood, experiences connected with health, and building life on my own terms. I didn't always know where the next choice would lead. But I was learning not to abandon myself when things became hard.

For nearly twenty years I've been exploring different ways of understanding a human being – from work with consciousness and the subconscious, through emotions and the body, to creativity and symbol. I am, among other things, a certified Zen Coaching coach, a Dekodyka trainer and a graduate of the one-year SensArte Art Therapy Academy. I don't treat these approaches as a collection of separate methods. Over time they became part of my own way of working – attentive to what a woman already knows about herself, what she can't yet name, and what her experience is trying to tell her.

I also bring years of business, managerial and negotiation experience to this work. Thanks to that I can stay with what is subtle and inner, while helping to translate recognitions into concrete decisions, boundaries, conversations and actions.

I'm not interested in creating another, better version of a woman. I'm interested in the moment when she stops overlooking herself and begins to build a life that has room for her too.

I don't work only with what you can already say about yourself.

We can understand a great deal and still choose against ourselves. That's why the work doesn't stop at thoughts and declarations. We also pay attention to emotions, needs, values, signals from the body, mechanisms operating beyond awareness, and what happens in your everyday life.

I combine conversation and reflection with subconscious work, writing, metaphor, creative action and experiential exercises. I adjust the way of working to the person, the situation and current boundaries. Tools are there to support the meeting with you – not to replace your experience with a ready interpretation.

The goal isn't dependence on another external authority. The goal is a growing ability to listen to yourself and take responsibility for your own choice.

11 · One of the tools

One of the tools that supports work with a decision

The original SERCE Model is one of the tools used in the Sovereign Woman™ process and – depending on the situation – during a Point of Choice session. It helps to pause an automatic reaction, notice what is shaping the choice, and check which next step is genuinely possible.

The model doesn't make the decision for you and isn't a recipe for one “right” answer. The full way of using it remains part of the work carried out within the original method.

SERCE doesn't tell you what to choose. It helps you check from what place you are choosing.

12 · Questions

Questions I often hear

The Point of Choice is a single session devoted to one specific decision, conversation or situation. The Sovereign Woman™ process is a longer process for a woman who sees that a similar way of giving herself up returns in different areas of her life.

If you don't know which form is right for you, you can write to me or book an intro conversation.

I use coaching questions and tools, but I don't work only with a goal and an action plan. I combine conscious reflection with work on emotions, needs, the body, the subconscious and experience arising in everyday life.

This is a developmental process, not psychotherapy, diagnosis or treatment.

If you are in acute crisis, experience symptoms requiring treatment, or need continuous support between meetings, contact with a psychologist, psychotherapist, doctor or appropriate institution may be more suitable.

During the intro conversation we check whether your needs fall within the scope of the process. If I conclude that you need another form of help, I'll tell you directly and with respect.

Yes. What you share during our meetings I treat as confidential.

We discuss the exact rules and the limits of confidentiality before the collaboration begins.

It covers 12 individual 90-minute sessions, held as a rule once a week, and inner work chosen for the process.

You can choose one of two variants, differing in the scope of contact and integration between sessions. You'll learn the details during the intro conversation.

Yes. Meetings take place online and, by prior arrangement and if organisational conditions allow, also in person in Warsaw.

Please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. The new date should take place no later than a week from the original one, subject to calendar availability.

You'll receive the detailed rules before the collaboration begins.

You can stop the process at any stage. If doubts appear, we can look at them calmly – without persuading you to stay.

The final decision is yours.

13 · Next step

You don't have to know right away which path you need.

Perhaps you have one decision in front of you that has been taking your peace for a long time. Perhaps you already see that it isn't about a single situation, but about the way you've been putting yourself off for years.

You can begin from the place that is true for you today.
