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.
📬 Read along in my latest Weekly Reflection
“Who wins inside you?” The part that wants to build, or the part that sabotages everything?
In my latest newsletter (8-minute read, but truly worth it, if you ask me 🤓) I take you through:
• client transformation after 2 months of using the Tools
• Arambhashura (the hero at the beginning)
• recording a podcast with Sander Veldman
• and why Charlie Sheen reminded me of my mother
📬 Read along, I’m curious what it touches in 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.

The brave are not without fear. It’s what you do next that counts.
Reactive discipline in action. Reading along again?

Hooray! 🥳 Week in Review #10 is here, featuring Munich, magic, and releasing the brakes.
Between beer tents, stark contrasts, and campfire conversations, I made a decision:
Discipline isn’t about being strict. It’s about taking yourself seriously.
From now on: Action in the Taxi 🚕
Let’s grow… the expansive way.
From procrastination and numbing to superpowers.
From plump oysters at a Parisian market to top-tier alcohol-free wine in Staphorst.
And a book that deepens my perspective on relationships.
It all came together in my Week in Review #9. Check it out here.
How a woman who mentally rehearsed her 120kg squats led me to Michael Phelps, who swam his gold medal race blind.
Plus: why shadow work might be your biggest breakthrough & how digital shame keeps you playing small.
Your body cannot go where your mind has never been.
Week in Review 8 is here!
In addition to lots of coaching and giving a workshop, I recorded my first podcast in ages with Martijn Aslander about Obsidian.
An old shadow showed up: “Please, let me sound smart!”
My first thought after recording? “This is definitely not going online.” 😂
But then Brian Johnson’s words echoed in my head: “You have to be willing to suck to get good.”
So I published it anyway – raw and uncut.
About vulnerability, tools, and why perfection is the enemy of progress.
Stuck in procrastination or self-doubt? In this blog, I share how fear holds us back, and how you can flip it into action. Just like I did this week!
With personal stories, powerful tools, and a touch of humor, I’ll inspire you to follow your dreams anyway. 💛Read along and feel the Syl-energy!
This week, I uncovered a blind spot thanks to Jim Murphy’s book: the Affluenza virus – living for the outside instead of the inside.
My personal weakness? Appearance.
Shadow work helps: that insecure girl in the yellow outfit deserves space.
Highlight of the week: giving workshops at a birthday party.
