“Over ten years ago, I was tasked to speak at an event with curious potential candidates and their parents about my experiences in the commercial apprenticeship. At the beginning my manager came to me and jokingly “turned up the volume of my voice” with a hand gesture on my back. “Speak louder!” He said.

For as long as I can remember I have been a softly spoken person, particularly in environments I don’t feel safe or exposed in. It actually still does cost me a lot of energy to do so, with the difference that I’m putting myself out there consciously!

“Hands up: how many of you have been saying things like “I don’t feel motivated to go for a run”, “I’m just waiting for the motivation to finally hit me to do this” or “At first I was super motivated and it worked great, but then it stopped and I kind of dropped off”(…)

The easiest way to describe overthinking is if you find yourself ruminating and ruminating again and again over the same thing, playing through extensive scenarios in your mind, rummaging about old memories or what Izzy said during lunch because her tone of voice was slightly different. It’s when you get so stuck in your thoughts and mind that you end up almost frozen in time and space.  And this is a form of procrastination as it leads to decision fatigue and lack of actual action taking so it slows down your progress and delays potential results (…)”

“(...) This post is especially for you if you’re currently feeling lost, stuck, unfulfilled, unhappy or all of that within your career and life. You will walk away with some key tips on how you can discover your purpose and how to prepare yourself for what’s to come if you decide to make a switch!

“(...) Over the course of the last decade I step by step stopped doing several things in my life, that ultimately let to me not only being happier, but also able to unlock my potential, communicate better, show up as an authentic leader in the space, doing the scary shit, letting go of people who weren’t good for me and more. I shared a reel about this on Instagram the other day, but felt the need to go into more detail, as all of these tips truly are life changing (…)”

It’s more how you intuitively choose to spend your time, energy and resources(…)”

“(...) Imposter Syndrome (...) - Not only does it seem to be a rather present topic in the entrepreneurial space but also many female leaders can sing a song about it. (...) There’s a lot of misunderstanding out there about imposter syndrome, and it is often being used as an excuse NOT to go after your goals or apply for that job or even just starting a new hobby (…)”

“(…) Or in short: being authentic, aka true to yourself, is not only incredibly powerful but also fulfilling. And when giving it more thought, of course, it is! Imagine a world where you can simply be who you are, with no hiding, no masks, no external expectations to adhere to, doing what you love, and loving what you do and who you are. Like, duh! (…)”
