About this interview.

Karolina specializes in helping twice-exceptional individuals—people who are both highly intelligent and possess a neurodivergent condition (such as ADHD, autism, or PTSD). Her work is transformative, focusing on the often-overlooked strengths of these individuals rather than labeling their traits as disorders. Through her own journey of frustration, particularly after experiencing a traumatic brain injury, Karolina developed a system to help herself and others better organize their lives, manage stress, and thrive in a neurotypical world that doesn’t always understand their exceptional gifts.

Key Highlights:

Twice Exceptional: Karolina defines twice-exceptional individuals as highly intelligent people (with an IQ over 120) who also have a neurodivergent condition, such as ADHD, autism, or PTSD. These individuals often feel misunderstood because they excel in some areas but struggle in others, leading to misdiagnoses or frustration in environments not designed for them.

Giftedness & Neurodivergence as Strengths: Instead of viewing neurodivergence as a limitation, Karolina sees it as a different way of thinking, with extraordinary potential. She believes these traits are often misunderstood because society views them through a narrow lens, causing frustration for those who think faster or process information differently.

Dr. Karolinas Syatem

Befriend Your Life: Know your quest and purpose.

Befriend Your Time: Manage your energy, not just your schedule.

Befriend Your Mind: Understand how your brain works, and create systems that support you.

Befriend Your Body: Prioritize your physical health, as it directly affects your mental clarity.

Befriend Your Surroundings: Create an environment that supports your strengths, including who you spend time with.

Personal Story: After suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Karolina was told to accept a life of limitations, but she refused. She created her own system to relearn basic skills, and through this, she discovered the keys to unlocking potential in others who also feel "misunderstood" by traditional systems.

Karolina teaches twice-exceptional individuals to create their own systems tailored to their specific strengths and challenges, ensuring they can function in a world that wasn’t designed for them. This goes beyond general strategies and provides real, lasting change.

Mastering Balance and Resilience: Karolina emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, resilience, and creating personalized systems. She supports her clients in embracing their unique blend of abilities and challenges, leading to more peace, balance, and fulfillment.


Karolinas approach is highly Customized: Unlike conventional systems, Karolina’s work is uniquely tailored to the specific needs of twice-exceptional individuals, helping them create strategies that make the most of their abilities while addressing their specific challenges.

Combining Neurobiology and Psychology: Her approach combines her deep knowledge of neurobiology, psychology, and behavioral science, making her system both practical and scientifically backed.

Focus on Self-Acceptance: Karolina doesn’t focus on “fixing” her clients. Instead, she helps them understand and leverage their strengths to thrive in environments that typically don’t cater to their abilities.
