What we left behind in the fire during the New Year’s workshop.
How I overcame not just cold water, but my prudishness too.
And what I am incredibly grateful for from 2025, a year of ups and downs and so many beautiful moments.
Newsletter #23! 🎇 So good to have you reading along!
Sunday at the train station. Alycia telling me about young people in South Africa. From 40–60% to 80–90%. 100% passed. Two years in a row.
Phil’s email hit me: “We’re in a spiritual crisis.”
And yesterday’s workshop? People already want to come back NOW.
2026 is going to be epic! Podcast. English. A book. 💥
400 people sang about surrender at a funeral.
My friend showed me how powerful asking for help is.
Barry Michels shared his diagnosis and “Thy will be done.”
Week #21 reflection is live! 🎄✨
YES! Newsletter #20! 🎉
Why recognition is worthless if you don’t do anything with it.
Why I thought I was done with my control pattern (spoiler: it came back).
And why helping 1 person = success (even if that person is me 😂).
Let’s GO! 👊
Daring to ask for help. Letting go of ballast, literally and figuratively. Not saving, but holding accountable.
This week was about three things and one important lesson: practice what you preach.
About The Prism and the seven ego centers.
About poison as nourishment in addiction.
About supervision that said: your task is not to save, but to connect them with their shadow. And why coaches are never done with their own development.
Russell Crowe as Göring, disturbingly charismatic. A psychiatrist who wants to understand evil and loses himself in the process.
This week: blind spots, walking skeletons returning to life, and why “I would never do that” is dangerous.
Also: gag reflexes 🤢 from hugging inner children…
Weekly Reflection #18 is here!
Weekly Reflection #17 is here!
5-4-3-2-1 and I stepped into the cold water. Not because it was fun. But to give Part X the middle finger.
This week: embracing monsters, vulnerability with kids who have addicted parents, and why resistance is your signpost.
The demon you swallow gives you its power. 🔥 Eat that thing.
One and a half years alcohol-free. Avicii, Bruce, two containers full of freedom and my talk at Netwerk vol Magie.
Joy from leaves dancing across the road. But also pain, fear and loneliness with razor-sharp edges.
Taking off masks. Living raw. And yes… about vulnerability and The Grateful Flow. ✨🔥
This week was all about being REAL. Weekly Reflection #16 is here!
Back to my old school, flowing and why you don’t want to break your brain.
This week: returning to Wageningen where it all began, coaching live again after years of online work, a mini-vacation in Amsterdam and a deep conversation about creating with family.
About surrendering on both sides. About ambition without breaking your brain. About what wants to flow through you.

“Did you know this?!” my cousin asked when we heard we’d be sucking out fish eyes.
About preparation, failed speeches, and when good is actually good enough.
