Passion and Instinct as My Life Compass - An Autobiography #1005357

Passion and Instinct as My Life Compass: An Autobiography is the debut memoir by German model Sabrina Biljana, tracing her journey from a childhood shaped by German and Bosnian heritage in a village outside Stuttgart to an international modeling career based in Dubai, UAE.
Sabrina opens with reflections on her upbringing — summers spent with relatives in Bosnia and Croatia, a deep affection for nature and animals, and the strong values instilled by her parents. She then recounts her first career in accounting, training and working in the field in Stuttgart for several years before an inner pull toward creativity and travel led her to step away from that conventional path.
The memoir follows her transition into holistic wellness beginning in 2017, when she completed yoga teacher training in Thailand, followed by a Vegan Raw Food Chef program in Los Angeles and Plant-Based Nutrition certification in 2019. Along the way, she developed a passion for natural skincare, blending her own oils and botanical perfumes, and later added Pilates and facial exercise training to her holistic practice. She went on to build a thriving yoga career in Dubai, eventually earning an invitation to serve as lead yoga instructor at the Dubai Active Show.
At the end of 2024, as modeling opportunities grew, Sabrina made the decision to leave teaching behind and pursue modeling full-time. Her work has since taken her to Berlin Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, with further assignments in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Miami — including a shoot for the Maxim Austria Calendar 2025 with photographers Mary and Jarmo Pohjaniemi, and a feature in Glamour Bulgaria's "Classic Beauty" editorial.
Structured across seven chapters, the book also touches on her deepening connection to Dubai and Arabic language and culture, and closes with reflections on following instinct, intuition, and personal transformation. Part personal history and part reflection on reinvention, Passion and Instinct as My Life Compass offers an intimate look at the path from finance to wellness to the fashion industry — and the belief in following one's own inner spark along the way.
