I have to confess…I am a total workaholic. I love my work and could keep skipping appointments with friends, parties and trips to be creating around it all day and night long. So it has been a big deal for me to walk the talk when we talk about…
Breathing is the first thing we do when we are born and the last thing we do before we die. So may I ask you… How is your breathing doing? Are you breathing properly? This is a vital thing to check within yourself since our body releases 70 %…
Epilepsy. Yes. Can you believe it? The brain is a box of surprises! It happened around two months ago. I was feeling dizzy, a bit spaced out, at least once every two days. My mood changes were driving me crazy. I was going from happy and in balance, to sad…

Happy New Year! I hope you are starting the year full of energy and enthusiasm. I’ve prepared a very special visualisation that I often use to boost my confidence, on those days where it may be a bit low. When I’m doubting myself and feeling that I’m not good…

As a journalist I had the chance to interview all kinds of leaders. Presidents, ministers, celebrities, community leaders, scientists and specialists in all sorts of subjects, mothers, Olympic athletes, bomb attack survivors, project managers, creators and artists. I interviewed some in their best moments and others in times of…
