Maja Frykowska Years ago, she became one of the most recognizable people in Polish show business. Over the years, however, she underwent a deep transformation, approaching faith and focusing on spiritual values. The star in a sincere conversation with gossip openly told about her spiritual metamorphosis, the role of faith in life, difficult choices and almost to abortion. What would she do if her daughter told her that she was a LGBT person?
Your life has undergone a huge transformation – from a celebrity known from “Big Brother” and walls to a person strongly associated with faith. Are there any aspects of your past you are ashamed of? Is there anything you did in the media, what you regret now?
Maja Frykowska: When I was a young girl, I was always surprised when my grandmother kept repeating: “If I had today's reason, I would be a completely different person.” I don't agree with that. It depends on us whether our past experience in this life has taught us humbleness and drawing conclusions, giving us a desire to transform ourselves. Do they leave us in the past life? The choice belongs to us, I'm definitely in this first group. I learned to like to leave my comfort zone.
Your life path is an example of a huge transformation. What would you tell people who feel that they are stuck in place and do not believe that they can change something?
I would say: do not keep the wounds and trauma from the past, just deal with them so as to move on. The sooner the better. I understood that life is too short to waste it on bullshit.
You decided to live outside the scandals. Do you not lack this old adrenaline and media confusion around your person?
I made a decision aware of how I want my life to look. I can have adrenaline when I want to. I don't need noise, just self -realization. New is coming and it makes me happy. I know what my goal is and where I am going. And this is a strong lesson. You probably noticed how many people completely don't know how to manage their lives.
In one of the interviews you said that your daughter is more aware than you was 20 years ago. Do you think it's because you are raising her differently, or are today today children are more mature through access to information?
Yes, she is aware, of course everything within reason. I raise her by treating her as an important person. I listen and hear, I'm. It wasn't always like that, but it's probably because I had to work out something that I had no idea about. I built my family using the trial and error method. I evolved a responsible person in being. I try to give my daughter what I didn't have, but I think so wisely.
As a mother, what do you consider to be the most important values you want to convey to your daughter? Do you have any life motto you follow in upbringing?
In life you need to have a moral spine and, although we are not all without sin, at the end of the day we want to look calmly in the mirror. I think that the truth is very important that you need to be able to speak in such a way that you do not hurt the other party. And this is the most difficult.
What would you do if your daughter came to you and said she was a lesbian or transgender person?
I would tell her to look at the Bible and find out what God is saying about it.
You mention the role of God in your life. Do you think show business and religion can go hand in hand? Many celebrities who openly talk about faith are then criticized for hypocrisy. Does this also meet you?
Until most of us understand that religion has nothing to do with faith, he will not move further. Religion is rituals and traditions, faith is the quintessence of being with God. Boundless trust.
Do you think that women should have the full right to abortion, or, however, as a believer – are you against her?
The topic is very difficult. From God's point of view, abortion is a murder. Humanly, you will never understand the decision and situation until you find yourself in a difficult situation. You are not in the shoes of the other person. God gave us free will and we make decisions ourselves, just as we later bear the consequences of our decisions. So why should we decide each other, since God gives us a choice and allows us for independent decisions?
What gives you the greatest satisfaction today? Being a mother, charity, professional development? Or maybe something completely different?
Being myself is the greatest satisfaction. I think we are transforming all our lives. You think differently when you are 20 years old, differently like 50. And it is beautiful, because thanks to these experiences we are shaped and, as I wrote earlier, it depends on us where we will come.
What are your plans for this year?
Plenty. I am constantly developing my new child – the podcast “Adam's apple”, surprised me. I did not think how important the subject of male emotions is nowadays and how they can talk about their experiences, experiences and experiences. This completely turned my perception as men. Of course, only a plus. If you haven't seen it yet, I invite you to my channel. I am a producer and director of this podcast. A good program really came out of it. He has a great team, people who believe in what they do. We are a harmonious team. I am surprised by positive comments and reception. Men who want to tell their story come to me. The Masculinum Institute, which deals with the emotions of men, took the patronage of my podcast. Until now, we talked about identity, brotherly friendships, alcoholism, family and touched many threads about the concept of relations with the eyes of a man. I really recommend it. The podcast formula is to discuss between me and two men from completely two different worlds. One associated with show business and the other from the “normal” world. Great composition. I wanted to capture this male solidarity. Two stranger men, yet saying the same language. This is not there in women. Sister friendship is overrated.
The second project is my latest child. Together with specialists in the AI industry, we have created an application that will give a substitute for closeness parent-child. We start with this project in April. I will talk about it soon.
