My old “me” would have tried to keep this a secret
I’m learning to share with you a part of me that is still afraid to share and to be “found out about”… The part of me that makes me too human – just like you. Life is tough. Life is the ultimate teacher. And I am a student of life – again… just like you. […]
Afraid to be yourself? (Un)done
The most common problem people have is they live in chronic existential distress. The biggest reason for that is people don’t dare to be themselves. And, how that looks like in everyday life is… Hiding, censoring yourself, muting yourself People pleasing Perfectionism Downplaying everything Not having clear boundaries or allowing your boundaries to be violated […]
My default setting was “struggle”
None of the following is wrong… Excessive self-doubt Lack of direction, confusion Deteriorating relationships Negative money patterns Lack of fulfillment in life Consistent self-sabotage Again, none of this is wrong.

You’ll be surprised – or liberated – to know this: The part that thinks that there’s something wrong with you was born a few years after you were born… When you were born, there was nothing wrong with you. You didn’t come out of the factory with the note “Damaged, defective, messed up”. You were […]
You are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment
In my coaching with clients we often get to this: “You are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment” And, this is hard for people to get their heads (or hearts) around. Maybe you, too, find yourself in circumstances you don’t want to be in. Still the same holds true: You are […]
It’s time to stop making yourself small!
It’s time to stop making yourself small! It’s time to take up the space you deserve! Making yourself small, trying to squeeze your unlimited Essence inside the box of a scared and hurt version of your unlimited self – that’s heavy… That’s very high pressure! I know how heavy that is because I personally felt […]
