The answer to: “Why you’re not where you want to be”

“So, you’re running a business as a one-woman show. You have a BIG vision, you put in the work, you show up every.single.day to do the DO. You surround yourself with the right people, you show up online, the sign at your “show front” says open, and you serve some dreamy clients. But you haven’t reached that big goal yet, there aren’t enough clients yet. You didn’t retire your partner yet or haven’t upgraded to a house with a room just for your pet yet. You’re not yet world-famous. And so you question: “Why am I not where I wanna be YET?" (…)

What NO ONE tells you about personal growth

“Self-improvement, personal growth, reaching goals, and working for your own dreams is not only ringle-rosy perfect, they DO come at a certain cost. This is why so many people might never even try to pursue what they actually want to do or give up along the way because the toll might not be bearable for them, and instead choose the pain or cost of regret (…)”

Do you take ownership of your results (or lack there of?)

“Let’s be honest, how much ownership do you take for your results? If there are none, are you quick to blame external factors (like too many meetings on your plate and no time to follow through (…) But also I want to ask you if there are some, are you owning those? Are you celebrating?

Taking ownership of our actions is an important part of dealing with success AND failure. When we take responsibility for our mistakes and achievements, we empower ourselves to make changes and improve (…)”

I learned more in 2.5 years of entrepreneurship than in almost a decade in corporate

“Oh the things I have done in these last 2.5 years. Some of them I never even dared to dream or think of when I was still working in my old role in the corporate world. This post is not a rant about corporate, I absolutely believe you can have dreamy soul-aligned careers that are aligned with your purpose and your core values. This just wasn’t the case for me, obviously.

I have said it before, but being an entrepreneur is like taking on 10+ new jobs at the same time. You as the CEO of your business hire yourself as Marketing Expert, CFO, Product Developer, Website Programmer, Content Creator, Copy Writer, UX Designer, (…)”

Imma keep on going my way!

“For decades writing a book has been a huge dream of mine. After years and years of studying all things about mindset, testing and experimenting my own tools and being my own best student, I finally sat down last year on the 9th of October to pour everything I learned and know to be true into a GDoc. On the 6th of march this year  I ordered my first physical proofreading copy with a sample cover. And now I can finally announce that my debut book “And There She Goes Her Way” is finally realeased!!!

Step Back Into Self-Trust Through Visualisation

“I’m sure you are familiar with at least one of these terms like future self, best self or higher self. I talk quite a lot about it too, as do others on this space. What I don’t agree with though, is that a lot of gurus and self-proclaimed experts talk about it as if your best self is a separate, new version of yourself and that you have to reinvent yourself to become her. I call BS honestly.

I personally have always believed that we already have all that we need to make amazing shit happen (…)”

10 Questions to Ask Yourself to Make This Your Best Month Yet

“Before we dive in - don’t give me any of the “journaling is woo woo and doesn’t do sh!t” crap, ok? Ok! Don’t call it journaling if that doesn’t resonate with you then, call it reflection, self-awareness practice, thinking time, thought record, or even month end review or reporting.

Several studies have shown positive effects of regular journaling. It can help reduce anxiety, regulate emotions, break out of overthinking, and improve self-awareness (WebMD.com, 2021). In short, it helps you to understand yourself better, how you tick and what ticks you off or on. Ain’t nothing woo-woo or wrong with that my friend!

So if you want to make this next month or chapter in your life one of your best ones yet, grab a pen (…)”
