Today we’d like to introduce you to Rosie Kosinski

Hi Rosie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

A global upbringing – England and Israel with Irish and Polish parents – fostered my love for exploration. At Davidson College, I embraced creativity with a Fine Art and Languages degree. There, I met my husband, Grant, an artist with a surprising background in Chemistry.

Grant’s journey took an inspiring turn. After overcoming health challenges, he discovered a passion for helping others heal. This led him to become a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer and create Hidden Warrior (www.hidden-warrior.com), a practice designed to empower people on their wellness journeys.

My skills complemented his perfectly. Through my branding agency, Shattered Pencil Studios (www.shatteredpencil.com), I helped build Hidden Warrior’s brand identity and online presence. Together, we’ve developed impactful online courses and customizable programs, reaching a wider audience seeking a path to wellness. Seeing Hidden Warrior empower people to unlock their inner strength and find healing is incredibly rewarding.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

It definitely wasn’t a straight shot to where I am today. There were times when I felt like I was starting from scratch, juggling rent payments and even working as a nanny. I also had a lot of self-doubt holding me back – limiting beliefs that I had to overcome. For a while, I even tried the corporate world, but it just didn’t feel like the right fit. It was a period of searching and frustration, with plenty of dead ends.

But in those messy detours, I learned some invaluable lessons. It was in those ‘alleyways’ that I discovered my true strengths and passions. One was a desire to help others on their journeys, whether through creative branding or something more direct. That’s when I realized the power of combining my skills with Grant’s passion for healing.

Hidden Warrior became the perfect outlet for both of us. Through my branding agency, I could help Grant reach more people who felt stuck on their wellness journeys. Together, we created online courses and programs that empowered individuals to tap into their inner strength and find healing. It truly feels like we’re helping people navigate their own ‘alleyways’ and emerge stronger.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Hidden Warrior?

Hidden Warrior isn’t your typical wellness space. We empower individuals to take back control of their bodies and minds, helping them achieve results through customized plans that blend yoga, personal training, and qi gong.

Here’s what sets Hidden Warrior apart:

Results-oriented approach: Founded by Grant, a certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, and qi gong practitioner who overcame his own back problems. Grant uses his experience to design programs that target specific needs and goals.

Focus on customization: Unlike a “one size fits all” approach, Hidden Warrior tailors movement plans to your unique body and limitations. Whether you’re a beginner, recovering from an injury, or simply want to improve your overall well-being, we have a program for you.

Holistic Movement Integration: We go beyond traditional yoga studios, incorporating elements of personal training and qi gong to create a well-rounded approach to fitness and healing.

Addressing Specific Issues: Hidden Warrior caters to a wide range of needs. We can help with chronic pain, pre- and post-surgery limitations, mobility issues, stress management, and more.

Online and In-Person Options: Choose from online group classes, private sessions, and a variety of online courses to fit your schedule and preferences.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?

Maintaining gratitude above all else is what truly makes me happy. No matter how challenging life gets, focusing on what I have – a supportive family, good health, a fulfilling spiritual life – allows me to find joy even in the midst of difficulties.

Life’s waters haven’t always been gentle. There have been raw moments, trauma, and feeling overwhelmed. But I’ve learned that allowing myself to fully process those feelings, without denial, is key. Trusting in the process and knowing I’ll learn something valuable helps me stay patient, even when circumstances feel like a circus act!

This approach to dealing with life’s challenges not only helps me stay positive, but it also allows me to be a source of support for those around me. By acknowledging my own struggles and growth, I can connect with others on a deeper level and offer empathy when they’re facing their own hurdles.
