In this very personal episode, I open the doors behind the microphone and share what truly shaped 2025 – a year of endurance, motherhood, advocacy work, sleep deprivation, and two weekly podcast shows in German and English. I also share what will change in 2026 – with a focus on sleep, gentle growth, an English talk format, books, and fast-track MS knowledge for the community.
