Why taking few steps back can be a good thing

I’ve been in a bit of a funk this week 🥹 And it got me thinking about something I feel like we don’t talk about enough: What happens when life feels heavy, and you suddenly find yourself reaching for the old familiar ways of coping? The habits you’ve been trying to leave behind. The things you told yourself you were “done with.” The decisions you know don’t necessarily lead you where you want to go. Because when we’re overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply going through a heavier...

If you still believe that getting the promotion, earning X amount of money, getting married, having a baby, buying the house, moving to your dream country… …will suddenly make everything in your life better and make you magically happy, I'm here to deliver the bad news. Don't shoot the messenger 🫣 Those things can absolutely bring you joy. But they will never be able to take away the anxiety. The feeling that everything is on fire. The feeling of being pulled in 17 different directions at...

I noticed myself being more anxious these last couple of weeks. More than the usual ADHD anxious 🤭 And because I'm so deep in my self-development and healing in this cycle of life, it was quite noticeable for me. So I did what I always do when I notice myself feeling more anxious: I started paying attention to my thoughts. Because from my experience, if you want to get to the bottom of why you're feeling anxious, one of the best places to start is by noticing your thought patterns. Our...

POV: reprogramming my nervous system because I was raised being told I have to work hard for everything I want. I posted this POV on TikTok recently and got sooo many DMs asking me: “Okay but HOW do you actually do that?” 👀 And honestly, I love this question. Because it’s one thing to understand that your nervous system, beliefs and subconscious patterns influence how you show up in life… And another thing to actually start changing them in your everyday life. So I thought this week, instead...

I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately. Not the “how do I make my business work” or “what habits should I build” kind of thinking 🤣 More like… what are we actually doing here? Because sometimes I look around and wonder how many people live their entire lives without ever questioning what life actually is. We wake up, go to work, pay the bills, go on holidays, see our friends, have hobbies, maybe get married, have children, buy a house… And then we do it all again. And there’s absolutely...

As I’ve been sharing more content about emotional regulation lately, I’ve been getting a lot more DMs about how to actually go from emotionally exhausted girly to feeling “like yourself” again. You know, loving life again type of thing 🥹 So this week I want to share 5 habits that have helped me go from stressed, constantly feeling burnt out and feeling no excitement about my life, to someone who’s calmer, more present and who finds beauty in mundane everyday moments. So without further ado,...

A story about how I accidentally did 🍄 and realized that the fear we feel is mostly about being afraid of feeling something again. Leeet me explain, okaaaaay. This one needs context. Looool. 🤣 And before I dive deeper, this is *NOT me promoting anything. This is me just sharing my experience, and everyone, do your own research, make your own conclusions, and make your own decisions*. Okaaay, gang? 🤓 Now that this is out of the way… As I mentioned a couple of letters before, I’m revamping my...

Can you feel it?

When was the last time you felt your pinky toe? I know it sounds weird, but bear with me. 🤣 When was the last time you felt your pinky toe? And not with your fingers, but felt it as a part of your body? A bit of a strange start, but trust me, there is a purpose to this. 🤭 Did you know that we spend the majority of our days inside our heads, not really aware that we even have a body? And I don’t mean looking (and maybe judging) at ourselves in the mirror. 🙄 And did you also know that if you...

Lately, I’ve been finding myself in this weird cycle: I know what I should be doing, but instead of doing it, I find myself just thinking about it 🤣 And you know your girl loves to daydream about my future and all my dreams coming true, but in this context, the visualisation rule doesn’t quite apply. So I’ve created a new nr. 1 rule for my life and put Post-its all over my home. Cos, you know, I don’t do anything half-assed 🤣 My nr. 1 rule: don’t think about relaxing, actually do it. I know...

Someone recently asked me: “What is the one thing I can do to improve the overall quality of my life? You know, feel happy and shi*.” My answer was: “Feel your feels.” And then it went something like this: Him: “That’s it? It can’t be that easy 🤣” Me: “If it’s so easy, why aren’t you happy? 😏” Him: “😶” Yes, it sounds so easy, doesn’t it? “Feel your feels and you’ll be happy…” But it’s true. Not the easy part, but the feeling part. Someone once said: “Joy is the matriarch of the family of...
