I once heard somebody say, “Live simply so you can simply live,” which I wholeheartedly believe in. It’s so hard in this complex day and age to keep it simple. It’s why I try to make it an everyday intention. Otherwise, I’d get swept up in FOMO and other people’s agendas. We live in this massive […]

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I PRIORITIZED ADVENTURE. I WANTED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD, SO I DID. Then, I discovered entrepreneurship and developed a passion for defining your own destiny, so I prioritized the entrepreneurial journey and my career. I started seeing early signs of burnout. I discovered yoga and meditation, which led me to restructure […]

WE ALL NEED CLARITY AND HEALTHY BOUNDARIES TO STRUCTURE OUR LIVES AND FOCUS ON WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT. Boundaries keep us from straying from our priorities so we can say, “Yes” without resentment and “No” without regret. We live in a very busy world. Like many people I know, I always want to maximize my […]

Sometimes life starts spinning out of control and you start to feel like you’ve lost your balance. If you recognize any of these signs creeping into your life, take immediate action to regain control over your overall health and well-being, and restore balance and peace. 1. You have chronic exhaustion. You are burned out! Every […]

The entrepreneurial journey to success is often paved by one failure after another, rather than lots of success stories. All our little failures lead somewhere, mostly forward. That is my story. I have made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that made me feel so ashamed that I sometimes didn’t even want to get out of bed, […]

Procrastination is bad, right? …or is it actually good? Try thinking of procrastination as practicing the art of managing delay. It gets a bad rep. I think people mistake procrastination for self-sabotage—taking actions that intentionally hinder our progress—when procrastination is simply inaction. In fact, putting off decisions or actions in your daily life can produce […]

No matter what we do, life will be challenging at times. It will hand us lemons. And making lemonade might not always be the best choice. Ugh – it sucks when we take a sudden trip to unrelenting hell. All we can do is get through it and grow stronger. Sometimes it’s not even worth […]

Leadership is a form of social influence. An inspired leader has the ability to translate their values into actions, and engage a group of people to collectively move in the same direction. Personally, I think of leadership as a mindset in action, and not a title given to you. Expertise alone does not automatically make you […]

Are you lacking clarity? Getting stressed out? Feeling like you keep running out of time? Or maybe even feeling like you are weighed down? It’s time to TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD of what really goes on in your day-to-day life! Stop blindly stumbling forward. Start by taking a look at your relationships. Ask yourself these questions: Who are the […]

When I left the tech startup world in 2010, I was already pretty burned out, yet I had no real idea why that was the case. I wanted to start a business that aligned with my purpose while being healthy, happy, and highly productive, ALL at the same time. Little did I know that being […]

As a German national, it is often assumed that I am an expert in time management. Could be true! It might be in my genes, or it might be a learned behavior. I am indeed very good at managing my time. I am, however, not very punctual, which is very ‘Un’-German of me. We all […]

Witnessing immature male peer culture, its function as a breeding ground for aggression, and the silent consent within its construct are great concerns of mine.  What gets me upset about this topic is the reaction of men, the lack of action, and the prevalence of silent approval. Many men are showing very strong reactions to it, and many voice their disapproval to […]

Reclaim your morning and seize the day. Having a “morning routine” allows me to be my best version of me. I can master the madness that is my life and my mind. Yes, you heard me – the madness in my mind. I’m one of those people. My mind will get the best of me […]

I’m a coach who gets a coach for everything I want to achieve. I’ve worked with a life coach, a book coach, a marketing coach, a relationship coach…. you name it. To me, that makes sense. Professional athletes, famous actors, and many top performers have coaches. I’ve got great aspirations—so I’ve got coaches. I want to […]

Sometimes I hit a dead end. I find myself feeling stuck, misaligned and uninspired. Something just isn’t right and nothing is in its flow. Can you relate? Do you get stuck in this place in your head where nothing seems right? Do you ever feel like your future is too far away from your current […]

I suck at setting SMART goals. Shocking! I know. And considering that I help people set goals and create meaningful lives, this might be concerning. WHAT? Why would you even listen to me then? I suck at setting SMART goals because I find them ineffective. I think they are SMALL goals. I don’t think anything […]

Have you ever chased a dream like it was the last train leaving the station? I know I have! I just recently had to painfully admit to myself that I was chasing the wrong train. I didn’t just chase it – I boarded it as well. It took me on a rollercoaster ride for about […]
