Years later, I found myself in a very toxic and emotionally unhealthy relationship with a significant other and myself, that drove me over the edge. After a dark night of the soul and my anxiety through the roof, I had to finally face myself. I decided then I wanted to not only live, but live life on my own terms and really had to face my own demons. I started coaching myself from that moment on, working with a therapist and coach, and pulled myself out of the deep hole of feeling unworthy and never feeling good enough. Although it was a dark time in my life, I learned so much and am grateful for the lessons because it’s made me who I am today.

PART two

During this time, I worked in corporate and helped multiple startups become successful. But I found that working in the corporate world had me constantly struggling with my own insecurities, fear of failure and perfectionism. One day I realized how out of balance I was, so I decided to strike out on my own and really start working on myself. I have now been a business owner for almost a decade. I’ve fallen many times, lost a lot of money and had to reinvent myself again and again, but I learned from each experience. 

PART three

Eventually, I left my native Netherlands for Bali, so that I could live completely on my terms, rebalance my energy and be the woman I want to be. I am learning and growing still every day, but I have never felt more balanced and peaceful in my life as I feel today, and I'm doing every day what I absolutely love. I had to battle a lot of personal demons, but it was worth the journey. It’s why I’m so passionate about supporting others to do the same in their life, so they can reach unimaginable levels of fulfillment, confidence, joy and peace.
