What is learned young is done easily when old
From a young age, I've been very independent. Even as a child, I liked organizing things so that everyone had a good time and everything ran smoothly, all without needing to be in spotlight. As a teenager, I struggled. I found it hard to deal with my emotions and didn’t really know what I wanted in life or what my purpose was. Instead of going to university, I started working right away. Driven by perfectionism and a strong sense of responsibility, things moved quickly for me By the age of 18, I was already leading a team of 60 people. However, 0ver the years, my body forced me to slow down several times. Eventually, I could no longer ignore it, as severe panic attacks brought everything to a halt.
Looking back on that period, there were several moments when my body clearly said ‘stop’. If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: 'You set the bar. You decide what’s good enough. Turn inward, connect with yourself, and everything will be okay. Truly.'
Falling and getting back up
Truly — they can coexist. I’m living proof of that: masculine and feminine energy in balance Even in your career. Although I learned it the hard way. I started working in sales and only later decided to pursue an education, thinking that having a diploma would help me get ahead in society. Not long after graduating, I ended up working as a recruitment consultant in a high-pressure job on Amsterdam’s infamous Zuidas. A role that confirmed every cliché. People knew me as someone who always met every target, was always there for everyone, and never said ‘no’. Meanwhile, I had been struggling with severe panic attacks for years. Some periods were better than others, but as the pressure I put on myself increased, the attacks became more frequent and intense. Something clearly had to change…
Unfortunately, I have had to experience the hard way that running too long and too fast is not healthy for anyone, including me. For me, this initially manifested itself in almost six months of extreme dizziness, to the point where I couldn’t even walk on my own. This marked the beginning of my panic attacks, as it gave me the ultimate sense of losing control. Losing control over my own body.
Taking time to rest and turn inwards
At that point, I learned my first important lesson: that I needed to slow down and turn inward. After I physically recovered from the dizziness, the emotional and mental symptoms became even more intense. The anxiety attacks grew so severe that I was afraid to even go grocery shopping on my own. This realization marked one of the first true turning points. It led to an intensive journey of personal development through various therapies, coaching, courses, and trainings. But above all, it was the courage to face my fears, the willingness to fully accept myself, and the commitment to continuously step outside my comfort zone with confidence that brought me to where I am today.
The most important thing is that I now put myself first, which allows both myself and others to experience the best version of me. Because of this deep-rooted sense of trust, the guilt I used to feel when I didn’t put others first has disappeared.
And now, my entire journey comes together in my business. Tuning into intuition and emotions. My spiritual path and spiritual gifts. My experience in sales, marketing, and management. I combine it all into my unique approach as a business coach, resulting in sustainable success. Within yourself, and therefore in your business.
