At the Peak of Her Career, Jurgita Realized: “A Nanny Raised My Children, but Money Did Not Bring Happiness”

Jurgita Bažanovienė says she reached the height of her career only to discover that the life she had built was not making her happy.

“I was a typical career woman. I knew what I wanted from life and how to achieve it,” Bažanovienė says. But she eventually confronted the fact that a nanny had raised her three children, while a cleaner handled the housework.

Even an impressive bank balance did not bring her satisfaction. “I became unhappy,” she says. Bažanovienė is a women’s mentor and lifestyle coaching practitioner, and is due to speak at the international Eros 2026 erotica festival.
