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, (…)”

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 (…)”

How I Overcame The Fear Of Being Seen & Speaking My Truth
“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!
But BOY did it take me a lot of work on my own limiting beliefs and behaviour patterns. Am I where I would like to be yet? TBH, no. Are we still anywhere near the shy girl at the event who needed to be constantly reminded to speak louder? Also no (…)”
Why building discipline is better than hoping for motivation!
“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”(…)
