You were born with the purpose of finding your own meaning. And yes, by fulfilling it, the world becomes a better place for both you and everyone else. To (remain) be free. To create a recipe for your life in such a way that the flavor is sweet, not sour or bitter. To be mindful of the balance of spices, emotions, people, events, rebellions, and acceptance in it. To know when it’s good for you to stay and when it’s time to leave.
No matter how dedicated, enlightened, or grown-up you become, you will always remain the most special girl in the world. And you will always know the code for instant self-worth: Iamagirliamagirliamagirl.
Life is beautiful. The crowd will want to make your journey to yourself harder. That legacy of the past will try to tell you that boys are worth more, that they can do more, and that they deserve more choices than you. But you love yourself the most and you won’t listen. Crowd on off, your brain on.
You’ve got the marbles. And we’ve got the recipes.
The recipes for growing up are intended for girls of ALL ages! Through them, they will learn (and remind themselves throughout life) how to practice self-love, how to distinguish healthy relationships from toxic ones, how to recognize when something is wrong, how to take care of their health—both mental and physical, how to accept changes in their bodies, how to encourage themselves, how to nourish healthy thoughts (and eat healthily), and how to resolve conflicts…
The book contains dozens of guidelines/questions/topics that address the female being beyond traditional frameworks. Its focus is on her well-being, not on the recipes that have so far spoken about grooming, baking cakes, dressing nicely, manners… or pleasing everyone!
With this book, we develop and nurture the spirit.
This book is important for every woman, to remind her (if she didn’t know) or to encourage her (if she does) that the most important thing is to critically think about everything around her.
It’s always the right time to have this book!
Nina Đukanović graduated in economics, is the founder and creative director of the Creative Studio “Košnica” and the executive director of the NGO “Dobar život,” which has successfully completed numerous projects aimed at empowering women.
Just like with her own children, she is a mother to many great ideas, all characterized by a free-spirited nature. That’s why she wrote this book.
Goran Ivanović is a computer engineer, a specialist in design and computer animation, and the co-founder and animation director of the Creative Studio “Košnica.” He is the father of a boy whose individuality he encourages. That is why he is the co-author of this book.
Nina and Goran are co-authors of the digital brand and monograph “Izbačaji,” through which they deconstruct the thought patterns of their fellow citizens, as well as co-authors of the animated children’s band and alphabet book MAGARAD, which aims to teach children true values in a fun way. Their short animated film Montenegrin Monodrama Sine! is regarded as powerful and disturbing by the most eminent European juries.
Nina and Goran are faithful to their vision of a more just world.
Podgorica is their home.
