Growing up I soon realized that if I wanted a “good life”, I had to provide for myself. This fueled me to achieve more and more, suppressing my curious and creative personality. I built a career around my aspiration, ending up distancing myself further and further from who I truly am on the inside. Often, I did not feel good enough, and at the same time I was convinced others couldn’t understand my perspective. It all peaked when someone broke into my apartment while I was at home. I started having anxiety attacks and couldn’t focus or work anymore, being left with the feeling of total helplessness. Hear how I had tried to solve every challenge in my life by working harder, and how having to deal with my anxiety helped me to eventually slow down. Learn how I curiously explored my own mindset, journey, and motivations, to rebuild a life where my strengths mattered and where I balanced my energy in a healthy way. Today I use my experiences to help others through workshops, talks and awareness.
