„W dzieciństwie wykonywałam marzenia taty". Kiedy Marieta Żukowska nauczyła się odpuszczać?

"It took me a very long time to learn to love myself," admits Marieta Żukowska in the "Hidden Beauty" podcast with Beata Biały. Does femininity mature with experience, loss, and... birth? Why do we often learn to love ourselves only after a loss or crisis? This is the actress's journey to inner freedom. In the latest episode of the "Hidden Beauty" podcast, host Beata Biały invites actress Marieta Żukowska to join the conversation. The book "Women's Talk" serves as the pretext, but the topic of the conversation is something that deeply moves many women – the difficult art of letting go. "I was raised in a bubble" "It took me a very long time to learn to love myself," admits Żukowska, recalling her sheltered childhood and life in the shadow of her father's unfulfilled ambitions. She says she lived a life that wasn't her own for a long time: "As a child, I was fulfilling my father's dreams." This, she claims, is the source of the tension that has long shaped her choices – both professional and personal. A critical moment? Her father's death coincided with the birth of her daughter. "At the moment my father was dying, my daughter appeared. My daughter gave me ease and perspective for the first time," she confesses. It was motherhood that opened up a space for her to redefine herself, her approach to life, career, and femininity. The podcast is not only a story about life's twists and turns, but also an affirmation of the freedom that comes with maturity. Marieta admits that her motto today is: "I can give a damn about something anymore." This doesn't mean indifference, but inner strength and the ability to let go of what's unnecessary—others' expectations, perfectionism, peer pressure. Marieta Żukowska on ease, self-acceptance, and the Italian soul The conversation also leads to the symbolism of her name, which—as it turns out—has a lot of meaning. "My parents gave me the Italian name Marietta, so they marked me with Italianness. Italy is my second home," says the actress, adding that it was Italian culture—with its warmth, ease, and sensuality—that helped her better understand herself. This episode is about how to avoid living by someone else's script. How to learn an ease that isn't resignation, but an expression of maturity. How to accept the vicissitudes of life and find beauty in imperfection. And it attempts to answer questions: how can childhood and the relationship with one's father influence adult choices, and how to find one's own pace of life and inner harmony?
