During most of my teens and twenties, I took myself and life way too seriously. I would describe myself as a sensitive soul who grew up in a fear-based environment. I was often told to follow the rules without questioning them, to make do with what life presented, and to prioritize conformity over individuality.

Even though I went through some tough times and struggled with anxiety for years, I always had this feeling there was another path out there for me to explore. One of the biggest challenges back then, after finishing university, was taking a leap into the unknown and breaking away from much of what I knew.

Now, at 31, as a soon-to-be mom who has traveled, lived, and worked in nearly every corner of the world, I’m very happy with the life I’m living. Reconnecting with my playful self has played a huge part in that.
‍
I’ve been fortunate to explore a wide range of creative avenues over the last decade, including editorial photography, travel journalism, content creation, painting, and podcasting. Through these experiences and business ventures, I’ve come to embrace my unique, playful, and creative side while learning to value the balance between staying true to myself and working in harmony with the world around me, rather than pushing against it.
‍
In my view, a big part of thriving in life and work (or business) is all about strengthening your intuition, facing your fears, building personal resilience, reconnecting with your playful and creative self, and staying curious. Besides that, you need methods that keep you away from procrastination and invite you to start doing (living!) and experimenting. Over time, I’ve gathered a huge toolbox of mind explorations and creative challenges that have helped me with exactly that, and sharing these insight with you is what this project is all about.

While I believe all the answers are already within you, having an easy-to-follow plan that lets you put your own spin on things, along with a supportive community, can help you reach your goals much faster. At other times, having someone to talk to who truly understands your challenges can make all the difference in working through them and reigniting that spark.
‍
Whether you take part in the online course, book a private coaching session, join an online creative experience, or participate in a live event, you'll find a supportive environment that welcomes all of you. My commitment to nurturing playfulness and creativity extends to everything I offer.
‍
I look forward to welcoming you,

PS. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, but have been living abroad for over eight years. These days, I call Indonesia home, though I also spend a lot of time in Berlin, one of my favorite cities. If you'd like to connect and see how I bring playfulness into my daily routine, feel free to follow me on Instagram or TikTok for fun stories and inspiration.
