  • A Bouquet of Becoming

    Creativity isn't something we do, but rather who we are at our core, though many of us have forgotten this essential truth as we've navigated societal expectations and professional pressures. In this episode, I explore my journey from childhood wonder to self-doubt and back to creative permission, revealing how reclaiming our natural state of creation can happen without needing validation or expertise.

    In this episode I discuss:

    • How our innate creativity gets silenced by external voices
    • The German concept of "Spielraum" (playroom) and how it represents the creative freedom we need – space to move, explore, and play
    • True creation coming from following resonance and joy rather than seeking validation or perfectionism
    • How moving from Switzerland to Colombia became part of reclaiming my childlike curiosity and creative expansion
    • How creation can be cyclical, with periods of contraction (painful) and expansion (luscious), both necessary for growth

  • The Ruin That Grew Wings

    After experiencing severe burnout as an “almost-lawyer” in Switzerland, I moved to Colombia with no plan in place and began reconnecting with my forgotten fairy essence. This episode explores my messy, real-time journey of remembering who I am beneath the heaviness of societal expectations.

    In this episode I discuss:

    • Experiencing burnout after seven years of pushing myself without rest
    • Spending three months horizontal before finding the courage to travel solo to Latin America
    • Falling in love with Cali, Colombia and returning to live there permanently
    • Realizing I'm a fairy—not in a cosplay way, but reconnecting with my magical essence
    • Creating this podcast to document my unfolding in real-time, without having it all figured out
    • Sharing from the messy middle rather than waiting until I've mastered everything
    • Building a life based on softness, slowness, and trust rather than grinding
    • Embracing imperfection, including speaking in English rather than my native Swiss German
