Behind the Brand
( móNIKA AJKAI )
FOUNDER, COACH & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome, dear Explorer! so happy you’re here.
My name is Mónika Ajkai, and I’m a coach, creative director, wife, woman, human and soon a mom. Beauty, inspiration, and creativity have always been core parts of my journey. But when I was younger, these were more about “the look” rather than the meaning behind them. I lived on the surface level of what it means to be human. Now I think being alive means CREATION AS A LIFESTYLE.
My first turning point was when I was in an accident, and it was uncertain whether I’d be able to walk again. BUT I COULD & the doctor said: “You’re very lucky your guardian angel caught you.” That moment made me reflect deeply on my self — perhaps for the first time ever. I felt immense gratitude for my life. But time went by and After MY FULL RECOVERY, I dived into work: I modeled, worked at an agency, became a beauty editor, did fashion editorial productions, creative directon and STILL felt the craving for something deeper. i started to learn about holistic & spiritual practices, cards, also did a life coaching and art coaching course, astrosophy studies and worked on my self in classic and alternative therapies. During the lockdown in 2020, I created Monológ the Studio, A CREATIVE COLLECTIVE, where WE fuse holistic self-development practices with personal and professional brand identity development to create an aesthetic outcome with meaning and purpose. AND NOW I’m here to embrace my 13 years of experience to guide and support you with personalized sessions, workshops and consultaTIONS. I used to believe that perfection IS the key to being lovable. In situations I felt, I wasn’t (GOOD) enough. I WAS TOLD, that if I AM being cheerful, playful, soft, sensual or humorous, no one would take me seriously. I believed I was strong only, when I hid my feelings — AND I was wrong. Love is the key to the authentic Soul, to inspire YOUR soul to shinE. To let your WHOLE BEING be. And this grace, and acceptance WE CAN give to ourseLVES and others unconditionally. This was the ESSENCE FOR ME TO transform inside-out. It took me years to figure out, and now I’m here to share. MY PURPOSE IS TO help YOU: because there Is no GOOD enough EXCUSE to dim your light.
With love, M. X
