Such a lovely memory of Amorgos.

No special message today, just wishing you a wonderful week. May you feel completely yourself and at peace.❤️

Amorgos reminded me that my voice deserves to be heard, because it’s mine✨

“When I feel fear of giving the ‘wrong’ answer, I make myself smaller than the other. My answers are valid because they come from me. I hope this understanding invites more openness in my relationships.”

I woke up to a wonderful view this morning. And quite a lot had led up to it.

As a freelancer, I’m used to the rhythm of sometimes having a lot of work, sometimes very little.

When, a while ago, more assignments suddenly came my way after a quiet spell, I realised just how much I wanted to travel. Visiting new places is one of my passions, and I had wished to visit Amorgós for ages – a tiny speck in the 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦, right in the middle of the Greek Cyclades, with its white houses and blue church domes.

I searched online for accommodation. Each place was even more beautiful than the last, but… I just couldn’t make up my mind. I thought messaging owners directly would surely get me a discount compared to Booking dot com, but that didn’t seem to work anymore. Have times changed?

Slowly, I noticed myself getting irritated. I ended up in a sort of power struggle to get the lowest possible price.

That’s when things started to feel off. What was I actually doing?

Trained in self-reflection, I sat down to really feel things through.

The first part of me felt it was ‘entitled’ to a discount. Ouch. That’s not a pleasant energy - because what you feel, you radiate, and the other person picks up on that.

Then a part of me surfaced that is used to scarcity, to having to work hard to get what is needed. That part urged me to negotiate instead of trying to create connections.

‘Add ten euros a night on top of the accommodation price,’ I suddenly thought.

Then, the flow returned and the accommodation I had liked best from the start was booked in no time. It’s even called 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘪 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩. If that’s not a sign from the universe...

On 2 July, together with talented counsellor KKatarina Zovak we will be hosting the Authentic Living Webinar – about how to shape your life and work authentically. We both know how trying to stay true to yourself brings challenges ánd gifts.

In the webinar you will find out how to navigate the challenges and invite the gifts. The replay is available in the language of your choice.

Suddenly, the friendship was over.

Sometimes something happens in a (work) relationship that makes you feel: 'This isn't right for me anymore'. First, you start to notice details not worth talking over, you leave the door ajar, but deep down you already know that the contact has changed permanently.

Over the past few weeks, I noticed how challenging it is to truly find closure. How quickly I am inclined to look at what the other person needs, instead of feeling how a relationship feels for me.

In my latest blog, I share what ending things well has to do with inner leadership -and why a relationship that costs you more than it gives calls for a clear choice.

Dit zijn de boeken die al dertig jaar met me meereizen.
Elke keer lees ik ze anders.
Ze spiegelen wat er vanbinnen bij me speelt.
Wanneer iets niet stroomt, probeer ik tegenwoordig om te vertragen.
En vaak komt dan de laag onder de wens tevoorschijn.
Innerlijke helderheid geeft ruimte.
En precies dat wens ik jou deze Meivakantie.

GB
These inspiring books have travelled with me for thirty years.
Every time I read them a new layer reveals itself.
They mirror what moves inside.
When something feels stuck, I try to slow down.
Many time, then my deeper intention becomes visible.
Inner clarity creates space.
And that is what I wish for you this Spring.

A Dutch and a Croatian voice, bridging the Netherlands and Sweden, explore one question:

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁?

Our new podcast episode on 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 is online! After a year of serene silence and inner growth, counselors .zovak and felt ready to explore:

• the Inner Family System - how our variety of parts can relate instead of collide (Richard C. Schwartz, PHD)
• self‑compassion as a mature, stabilizing force
• slowing down to truly perceive what is happening inside
• boundaries, energy and who we allow into our inner space
• conscious living in a world that keeps accelerating

It became a conversation full of clarity, honesty and courage.

🎙️ Join us - perhaps it opens a door in you that was already ajar.

Als je langzamer gaat, kom je sneller tot de kern.
Vooral als je persoonlijke issues wilt alchemiseren.

When you slow down, you reach the essence more quickly.
Especially when you want to alchemize personal issues.

Ik vraag me al een tijd iets af.
We leren kinderen de hele dag door om te leren over hun gedrag. Om sova‑lessen te volgen over hun gevoelens. En als ze geluk hebben, krijgen ze ook nog mindfulness om te voelen wat er in hen gebeurt vanbinnen.

Maar… wat doen leraren eigenlijk met hun "inner school life"?

Wat gebeurt er in jóu als een leerling precies dat oude pijnpunt raakt?
Of als een vergadering weer te laat begint?

Die kleine reflexen vanbinnen bepalen hoe fijn jij werkt.
Gevoelens en gedachten die ineens opploppen: dát is de pedagogische onderstroom waar ik elke dag mee werk.

En misschien helpt dit al:
Merk vandaag één moment op waarop je een reflex voelt - en adem er even bij. Alleen opmerken is al innerlijke scholing.

Als jij voelt dat dit iets in je raakt, blijf dan even hangen.
Volg me, reageer, of stuur dit door naar een collega die dit ook herkent.
Samen bouwen we aan een compassievolle onderstroom. ❤️
