Paulina Marinković was born in Manhattan, New York City, and raised in Chile, though her family traces its roots to the island of Brač in Croatia. When she finally visited her ancestral homeland, she fell in love – with its culture, food, music, and stories. Now a proud Croatian citizen, Paulina is thrilled to be part of Croatians Online, sharing her podcast Croatian Oracle by Paulina, where she brings Croatian mythology to life while deepening her own connection to her heritage.
Paulina’s academic journey is as diverse as her passions. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Management from Harvard University, a Master of Science from Columbia University, a degree in Broadcast Journalism, and an Executive MBA. She is also a certified neuroscience coach and a professional voice artist. She worked for 15 years in the corporate environmental and energy sector and is now a strategic foresight consultant and coach. In her free time, she enjoys nature, tango, dance performance, people and the arts.
Through storytelling, Paulina blends her love for psychology, mythology, and the human spirit. Her mission is twofold: to help preserve Croatian culture across the globe and to guide others in their spiritual and emotional growth through psychology, self-reflection, and Jungian insights. With warmth, laughter, and a gift for weaving stories, Paulina inspires people to heal, thrive, and embrace life as their authentic selves.
