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.

The power of passion

In 10 quintessential questions the first chapter is about passion. I started every interview with a question that seems almost universal: “Do we all have a passion?” Passion is the fuel that drives us, the spark that lights up our lives. But do we all have it? And if so, how do we find it? […]
