En este episodio te cuento sobre un recordatorio que me cambió la perspectiva: no todo merece tu energía.
Hablo de lo simple de decir “no estoy disponible para eso”, de no acostumbrarnos a vivir mal y de cómo estas frases me han ayudado a elegir mi paz en las relaciones, en lo cotidiano y hasta en mi propio diálogo interno.

When I got on that plane a year ago, I didn’t know what those 6-7 months would be about. Maybe travel, maybe friendships, maybe love, maybe career. But what I found was all of it, and even more. In this episode, I look back on how stepping into the unknown with bravery and openness led me to deeper connection, surprising lessons, and a year that changed me in every way possible.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to return to a place you love and realize it doesn’t feel the same, not because the place has changed, but because you have. I talk about the bittersweetness of nostalgia, the expectations we carry, and how letting go can open us up to the magic of new experiences.

In this episode, I sit down with Petra Smit-Broer, the founder of Oila Concept Store in the Netherlands, for an inspiring conversation about resilience and the power of community. Petra shares her journey of creating Oila, a space born from the need to foster connection and support in her local community. We dive into the challenges she’s faced, the lessons learned, and the importance of creating a welcoming environment where people can come together.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a community builder, or someone passionate about making an impact, this episode offers valuable insights on navigating adversity and cultivating a sense of belonging.

If you're in the Netherlands, make sure to visit Oila Concept Store and experience firsthand the vibrant space Petra has created for connection and creativity.

Have you ever said yes, while everything in you was screaming no? In this episode of To Be Honest, I’m opening up about my experience with people-pleasing: how it started, why it felt safe, and what it’s been quietly costing me.

We’ll talk about the emotional exhaustion of constantly accommodating others, the fear of disappointing people, and the slow erosion of self that happens when we choose approval over authenticity.

This is an invitation to reflect on where you might be abandoning yourself to keep the peace, and what it could look like to stop. To speak up. To reclaim your power.

Because saying no isn’t selfish. It’s honest. And honestly? You deserve that

I share with you the three biggest lessons I've learned—and unlearned—about love:

1. 💔 Love isn’t always forever—and that’s okay.
2. 🔑 The three essentials for love to work: alignment, availability, and attraction.
3. 🌌 Romantic love is just one planet in your solar system—not the sun.

An invitation to reflect on your own beliefs about love, question societal expectations, and explore how to build more balanced, fulfilling lives where love is one part of a much richer whole.

✨ Whether you're healing from heartbreak, navigating dating, or simply curious about how love fits into your life, this episode offers a fresh, empowering perspective.

Sometimes we are our biggest obstacle... Time to cut it off!
