Elke vrijdag, voor ik het weekend induik, deel ik mijn gedachten in mijn wekelijkse blog (in het Engels). Dingen die me geraakt hebben, dingen die ik geleerd heb, mensen die ik ontmoet heb, uitdagingen die ik tegenkom, kansen die ik zie, dromen die ik onder woorden probeer te brengen.
Meld je aan voor mijn nieuwsbrief om op de hoogte te blijven van mijn levenswandel.
This week marked National Women in Sports Day, a moment to celebrate the impact of sports on women’s lives and futures. It made me reflect not only on the broader significance of sports for women but also on how being part of a fieldhockey team has shaped my own daughters. The lessons they’ve learned—discipline, resilience, […]
For the past 2 weeks, I listened to The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast that left me with more questions than answers—and I mean that in the best possible way. It explored the lives of non-speaking autistic people and challenged so many assumptions about communication, intelligence, and understanding.

It’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by the scale of disasters happening globally—fires, floods, conflicts, and crises. Yet, what troubles me most isn’t just the disasters themselves, but the indifference […]
As we stepped into a new year this week, I believe it’s a perfect time to pause and ask ourselves meaningful questions—quintessential questions that challenge, inspire, and help us gain clarity about the direction we’re heading. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone simply looking to grow, the right questions can be more powerful […]

In entrepreneurship, leadership, and even personal growth, I’ve learned time and again that the quality of the questions we ask determines the clarity of the answers we find. In […]
