Every Friday before diving into the weekend I share my thoughts in my weekly blog (in English). Things that touched me, stuff I learned, people I met, challenges I faced, opportunities I see, dreams I try to put in words.

There are moments when life forces us to pause, not because we choose to, but because we must. Over the past months, I’ve crossed paths with some remarkable young people: bright minds, entrepreneurs, parents and each of them full of life, ambition, and purpose. And each of them now faces the unimaginable: a cancer diagnosis. […]
When I met Karl Meesters some time ago as a speaker at an event, it made me reflect on something I had never fully put into words. What happens when we remove the visual?
