In September 2013, I was having the time of my life but burned the most important budget I had; my own health. I was project managing a dream project. The idea was my own, and I got to run with it - Spotify style. Everything would have been perfect if it wasn’t for my own health. At the age of 27, when the project was finished, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I had burned out and was left a wreck. I absolutely loved my job, but I had no idea how to take care of myself. ...

I’m going to say something bold now, but with a lot of love. You have only scratched the surface of your own potential. And this is true for all of us. When we peel off the layers of stress, exhaustion, anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, controlling, self-doubt, and a whole lot of limiting beliefs and stories - MAGIC happens. I also see incredible shifts and results happening with my clients every day. They recognize things within themselves that they had no idea existed and find s...

Do you feel present in your life? Or do you experience that wherever you are and whatever you do, you are already on your way to the next activity, to-do, and constantly in your head? This might not seem like a biggie, but it actually is. Not only does it create unnecessary stress and tension, it also robs you of a lot of joy and pleasure in life. Good news is, that practicing being present is something that will benefit you so much, in your life, leadership, performance...

One of my coaches once said, the difference between panic and excitement is the exhalation. And it’s so true. A normal reaction to stress is to hold your breath, or breathe very shallow. But when you are excited, the exhalation usually comes a bit more easily. And that exhalation can be such a game changer. Short-term stress responses are a natural part of life, and something that you can’t avoid even if you would love to. But, long-term chronic stress...

Last week I had a discovery call with a woman leader who felt that her perfectionism was keeping her stuck in procrastination, stress & performance anxiety. She was never good enough in her own eyes and the fear of failure stopped her from taking on projects that she wanted, because if she did, and failed, she felt that she couldn’t live with herself. So it was better to not do it at all, because then she did not risk anything. I asked her; What are you longing for? And she paus...

She was constantly doubting herself and her capabilities and feeling that she was not in the right place, but had no idea what to do differently. This ...
