What I think and share in my weekly blog

Suyin’s Friday Thoughts

I have written 405 blog articles on Friday from March 27, 2018 until December 26, 2025.

Before diving into the weekend, I shared my Friday thoughts, I wrote about things that touched me, stuff I learned, people I met, challenges I faced, opportunities I saw, dreams I tried to put in words. In 2026 I took this dream to a next level and created my talkshow ‘Quintessential Conversations with Suyin Aerts’. You can listen and watch the show via your favourite podcast platform and Youtube.

Tackle the problem?

Shades

I have been asked before, and I was asked again recently: why are your blogs in English? You are not a native speaker? You are for sure not a native writer? I fully agree I am not. I try to express my weekly feelings and thoughts in my blog. It was never about poetry or […]

Entrepreneurship

I was wondering what to write about today when I newsletter fell into my mailbox. A sad message from a great couple that decided to launch a new project based on their passions, unfortunately they launched just before corona came into the world and I do not have to tell you what is actually happening […]

Radicalization

It was back in 2017 that I shared the stage with some fantastic speakers. It was a special night, the keynotes they gave were inspiring, I keep following the careers of all of them since that date, Sachli Gholamalizad, Jean-Marie Dedecker, Veerle Malschaert & Marion Van San. It felt so good as a keynote speaker […]

Slippery when wet !

I am not the kind of person standing still and wondering “why me? “ when something not so nice happens. But I always take a moment to think whether the universe is trying to tell me something. Does the universe talk to us anyway is maybe the first question I always ask myself. If success […]

Paradoxes of Life

Success comes as a by-product of being happy and doing what you enjoy. It almost never happens the other way around. It’s one of the great paradoxes of life I think. Why would you expect a great return on your desires without a significant investment? When you’ve been told over and over again in subtle […]
