PEEK IN MY WEEK #41 – Week 20 of 2026
“If you remove the obstacles, you are spiritual. There’s nothing else to do.” – Michael Singer
Be The Change Day. My birthday. The deck in my hands. And it’s already being sold from the Netherlands to India.
Can someone pinch me? This is already amazing!
5-4-3-2-1 → Let’s go. 🎬
5 – THE DECK IS OUT
May 8th. Be The Change Day at Wonders of Work in Utrecht. What a day. Shadow work. AI and the Socratic method to cut through all the noise and find the truth. Sleep tips you’ve probably never heard before, because we don’t really do average around here. Heroic. Connection. And all of that on my birthday too. Someone even asked me: “Are you really going to work on your birthday?” But I recently heard: do what you love most on your birthday and you set the tone for the whole year.
This doesn’t feel like work to me. This feels like a mission. So honestly? A perfect birthday if you ask me. 😂
And I got to present the State Shift Deck. Hand over the very first physical copies!
The deck is already being sold all over the world. I’m typing this and I still barely believe it myself. From the Netherlands and Belgium to England, the US and India. Even people I’ve never met are starting the training and working with the deck.
Woohoo! And we’re only just getting started.
The training is currently still available in presale with a €50 discount. So if you’ve been thinking about it for a while: this is your moment. 👉 [STATE SHIFT METHOD LINK]
4 – 47 AND A JUPITER RETURN
Last week I also turned 47 and got seriously spoiled on my birthday. Two more years. Then I’ll be the same age my father was when he passed away. I know that. I feel that. A little more every year. And still, it doesn’t feel heavy. On my birthday I dreamed of him congratulating me with one of his famous big papa bear hugs, telling me he was proud of me.
And then there was the reading from my astrologer. Apparently I’m in a Jupiter Return. That happens once every 12 years. Jupiter returns to the exact position it was in when you were born.
It means: a new chapter. Expansion. Protection.
The prediction for the coming year? More mental strength, success in my business, good health, travel, and becoming even more sensitive to what people are thinking.
Now, maybe you believe in astrology and maybe you don’t. All good. But what I felt when he said it? Recognition.
Everything happening right now, the deck, the training, the podcast, the Summit… it all feels like a new chapter. Things are clicking into place.
And having someone confirm that through the stars?
Thank you very much. Bring it on.
3 – MICHAEL SINGER: YOU ALREADY FEEL IT. YOU JUST THINK OVER IT.
I went for coffee with a client. We were talking about the work of Michael Singer and at one point she said something that stuck with me.
“I understand all of it. But I don’t feel it.”
And that’s exactly it. We live in our heads. We analyze, rationalize, understand. We get it. Nice and safe. But feel it? That’s the part we avoid. Because feeling is uncomfortable. Feeling is scary. Feeling hurts. Feeling can’t be controlled. Singer has a metaphor for this. A river. Upstream, the river is calm. But where you’re standing, it’s chaos. Rapids. Whirlpools. Foam everywhere.
Why?
Because there are rocks in the river. And what do most people do? They try to smooth out the water. They meditate over it. Read another book about it. But the only thing you actually need to do? Remove the rocks.
And those rocks? Your fears. Your shame. Everything you ever pushed away. Yes. That’s your Shadow.
Not by suppressing it. Not by fixing it. But by feeling it. Relaxing. Letting go. Relax and release.
And that’s also the core of the State Shift Method. STATE: observe where you are. What do you feel? Not what do you think. And from there, we make the SHIFT.
Most people can’t answer that question. And that’s where the work begins. And I get to teach them that. Yay!
2 – THE TURD HAS BEEN REMOVED 💩
Remember last week? “Action in the Taxi.” The giant mistake in my English booklet that had already gone to the printer. Turd in the pearl. The sun comes up again. Flip the switch.
Well…The day after I posted last week’s Peek in my Week, the printer called me. Asking if I still wanted to change it.
It was still possible.
So it’s no longer “Action in the Taxi.” Part of me almost feels sad about that. But not sad enough.
And I already know there are probably more turds hiding in there somewhere that I just haven’t spotted yet.
SO apparently the universe sometimes solves your turds for you after all. Once you let go. Or maybe it’s just coincidence. Whatever. I’m happy.
1 – DEVIL WEARS PRADA AND MERYL
I went to the movies. The Devil Wears Prada 2. Loved it.
I always enjoy watching Meryl Streep. Not because the storyline itself is necessarily groundbreaking, but because of the way she completely steps into a character. How she plays Miranda Priestly without turning her into a caricature. How she keeps things small where someone else would go big.
I’m deep into my theatre training right now and it’s changing how I watch films and acting too. No, I’m nowhere near Meryl’s level as an actress. Not even close. But it helps. Watching someone disappear so completely into a role. That’s feeling too. Not thinking about how to play a character. Feeling it. Being it.
THE RED THREAD: FEELING
Singer says: feel it, don’t think over it. Meryl disappears into a role by feeling, not acting. At Be The Change Day, people felt their Shadow. And turning 47? Yep, I feel that too, haha. But every single day I’m grateful I get another day on this beautiful planet and hopefully get to contribute something to it.
Relax. Release. And feel what’s already here. Everything that already IS. Life is AMAZING!
