Jelena Fenikse Psychology

I’m Jelena - a psychologist and a high achiever. I was born in Latvia, and today I live in Berlin.

I’ve worked in Tech as a Chief of Staff and now I help Venture Capital to make better investment decisions. But the most important investments I care about are the human ones.

I work with people who are successful on paper but secretly exhausted. I see the same patterns over and over: overworking, overthinking, people-pleasing, and staying too long in situations that don't fit - usually because leaving feels "irresponsible."

If quitting feels like failure, or if your value has always been tied to your performance, I want you to know you aren’t broken. You’ve just built patterns that are hard to break.

Here, we talk about the things that actually matter: burnout, perfectionism, identity, and how the way we grew up still affects how we work today. It’s just psychology, practical tools, and honest conversations.

People say my voice is calming. You can decide for yourself.

Welcome.
