  • 122 - EnergyTalk with Tula Bischof about Sustainable Self-Regulation

    I speak to Tula Bischof (@lovingtula, instagram account) who practices psychology based coaching. The topic of this EnergyTalk is Understanding Self-Regulation. We explore self-regulation in a new light and our intent is to clear up misleading myths and open up new opportunities for personal growth.


    Some of the topics we will speak about: 


    ✔️ What is self-regulation? 
    ✔️ Self-Regulation is not a state that we are in continuously;
    ✔️ Being dysregulated does not mean something is wrong with us;
    ✔️ Triggered states- sometimes the best you can do is cope;
    ✔️ Triggered states- sometimes the best you can do is cope, coping versus regulating; 
    ✔️ What does it really mean to acknowledge our emotions? 


    Thanks to all the viewers on Instagram. We enjoyed being challenged with your questions and help out wherever we could. If you have any further questions for Tula or for me, feel free to reach out by sending a dm on Instagram or


    With love and com-passion,
    Chungmei ✨✨✨

  • 121 - EnergyTalk with Deborah Valentine about taking up the roles she knew she was ready for

    This EnergyTalk is with Deborah Valentine. Deborah is the director of Access. Access is a local non-profit organization run by volunteers, and its mission is to help people find answers to the questions they have when they relocate to the Netherlands.


    'Knowing where to find a house, how the healthcare system works—there are a thousand questions when you move. The answers we provide are also from the perspective of our volunteers, who have gone through the process themselves. They often understand the questions that aren't being asked but should be asked.'


    She started working for Access about 12 years ago, and it was somewhat of an accidental step into that role. 'I was talking to someone who was the chair of the board at the time, and he mentioned a dilemma he was facing. I looked at him and said, "I can do that."


    That sense of empowerment came from my life experiences. I was born to a Canadian diplomat in West Germany and moved every four years until I was 40, either due to my father's career, my own career, or my ex-husband's career, who was also a diplomat. When I heard about the challenges Access was facing, I felt confident that I could contribute because I had lived that life.'

    Next to her role within Access, she took up the role as chair of WBII, Women Business Initiative International, in January this year. Enjoy listening to Deborah's experiences. If you would like to know more about the organizations she is involved in, take a look at these websites:

  • 120 - EnergyTalk with Eva-Maria Rumpfhuber about being highly sensitive and introverted

    In this EnergyTalk with Eva-Maria Rumpfhuber we dive into the complexities of the human mind and more specifically into being highly sensitive and introverted. Being highly sensitive comes with certain challenges and to truly thrive it’s important and necessary to find your personal ways to relax, unwind and recharge. We share what is working for us.


    Every in depth conversation paves new ways of thinking and doing. This conversation made me rethink how I see myself. I saw myself as a highly sensitive ambivert which is a mixture of being introverted and extraverted. But now I could define myself as an introverted person excelling in certain extraverted behavior. This brings me to what Eva said: ‘We are not one thing or another. We are multifaceted’.


    I fully agree. Defining personality traits and diagnoses are useful till a certain extent, but always leave room to explore and grow. We are adaptable and able to achieve more than we think. Listen in and comment on our conversation. How do you see yourself? What makes you come alive? What do you need to unwind and recharge?


    With Com-Passion,

  • 119 - EnergyTalk met Winggo Pang over Identiteit voor Professionaliteit

    In deze EnergyTalk spreek ik met Winggo Pang. Hij groeide op in Antwerpen en zijn ouders komen uit Hong Kong. We ontmoetten elkaar tijdens een rondetafelgesprek met zorgprofessionals om te onderzoeken welke behoeftes er spelen in verschillende Aziatisch-Nederlandse gemeenschappen. Deze bijeenkomst was georganiseerd door Pan Asian Collective.

    Winggo vertelt over hoe hij is opgegroeid in een Chinese familie in het restaurantwezen. Er was geen tijd voor rust, de focus lag op het harde werken. Als tiener deed hij aan diverse sporten en leerde hij piano te spelen. Ook nu nog is hij, naast zijn huidige baan, veel aan het sporten. Hij doet aan volleybal, basketbal en tennis. Daarnaast leert hij Mandarijn met Duolingo.
    Tijdens zijn opleiding tot arts interne geneeskunde raakte hij in een burn-out. Na enige weerstand kwam hij bij een huisarts terecht die hem adviseerde om met mindfulness te starten. Er ging een wereld voor hem open. Ook deelt hij openhartig over zijn seksuele identiteit en hoe zijn familie zijn coming-out verhaal ontving.
    Met Com-Passie,
    Chungmei Cheng

  • 118 - EnergyTalk with Kairavi Vora about choices, homeopathy and self-care toolkit

    This EnergyTalk is with Kairavi Vora. Kairavi is a homeopathic doctor from India. She has been living in The Netherlands for a year now. In the Netherlands she is registered as a homeopathy therapist. Kairavi decided to study homeopathy even thought her family thought she might be too sensitive to take up on this study. The first two years were focused on medical training including subjects as anatomy and physiology.

    Kairavi explains that homeopathy is about finding out what the cause is of the physical, mental and emotional symptoms. They treat the cause to restore the self-healing mechanism of the body with very little to no side effects. We also speak about misconceptions about homeopathy: that homeopathic doctors are not real doctors and that it is slow to act.
    The past year came with new struggles; settling down in a new environment while being far away from her family. Kairavi put together a self-care toolkit to deal with anxiety and feel good on a daily basis.

  • 117 - EnergyTalk met Maud Janssen over hoogsensitiviteit, kledingstyling en zichtbaar zijn

    Deze EnergyTalk is met Maud Janssen van Styling by Maud: https://stylingbymaud.comVan jongs af aan hield Maud zich bezig met kleding. Ze ging naar school in de meest uitbundige creaties. Haar liefde voor kleding en kleur kreeg een opleving vanaf het moment dat ze in Italië woonde. In Italië ging ze in de leer bij een personal shopper. Haar volgende woon- en werkplek werd Engeland. Hier sprak ze een vriendin die haar en belangrijke levensvraag stelde: 'Wat zou je doen als je jouw ideale job mocht kiezen?' Dit leidde naar het volgen van een opleiding bij House of Colour. Ze ging van het dragen van zachte bruin- en mostinten naar fellere kleuren zoals paars, blauw en rose. Hierdoor voelde ze zich beter en kwam meer tot haar recht. We spreken elkaar over hoogsensitiviteit en hoe ze hiermee omgaat in relatie tot haar werk. Daarnaast komt uitgebreid aan bod hoe ze aan de slag gaat met cliënten; van een kleurenanalyse, samen shoppen tot het doornemen van jouw kledingkast. Hierbij is haar motto 'Wees zichtbaar zoals je bent' leidend. Met Com-Passie, Chungmei Cheng HSP Coaching & Somatische therapie www.orchidoflife.nl

  • 116 - EnergyTalk with Nataliya Redina about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping expats find their way & empowering women

    Nataliya is an English, Greek, and Russian-speaking psychologist utilizing evidence-based interventions to effectively address a variety of mental health challenges related to anxiety and depression for individuals and couples.


    Here are a couple of Nataliya’s insightful remarks during this inspiring EnergyTalk:


    ‘Main filter that I have as a therapist is that you have a choice. The magic moment is the moment that you take responsibility.’


    My mom would say: ‘People are so strange. People want to stay with a known demon instead of the unknown angel.’ 


    In this EnergyTalk we will speak about:


    ✔️ The difference between being highly sensitive and oversensitive;

    ✔️ How she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions;

    ✔️ Helping expats to find their way in a new country;


    ✔️ Identifying the victim role;

    ✔️ Saying goodbye to the corporate world to dedicate her time fully to her practice as a psychologist;

    ✔️ Empowering women by mentoring, showing them that they have the choice, they have the power and that they are responsible for how colleagues see them and what goals they want to reach.

    22.14: It’s a huge source of power to consciously choose for where you want to be.

    31.20: When you work with clay it’s not about how hard you try, it’s about where to push.


    33.09: I am an expat myself, my parents moved to Greece when I was 7.

    45.59: In a new setting we can’t be the person we were before.

  • 115 - EnergyTalk met Lilian Hu over de Chinese cultuur, familiebanden en zelfontwikkeling

    Lilian werkt momenteel drie dagen in de week als jurist bij Achmea. Daarnaast begeleidt ze cliënten vanuit haar life coaching praktijk Uncaged coaching. De insteek van de sessies is om vrij en authentiek door het leven te gaan.

  • 114 - Energy Talk with Sandra Delgado Quist about becoming a homeopath & big dreams
    In this EnergyTalk I speak to Sandra Delgado Quist. She works as a homeopath and a reiki teacher. We will learn more about her transformative healing journey in which she moved from not believing in natural medicine towards becoming a homeopath.
    Her first experience with homeopathy wasn’t the most positive, because she didn’t understand how it worked. From here life took her to dive into reiki first after a reiki teacher told her that she would be great at reiki. The world of energy opened to her whereas up until this phase she always reached out to regular medicine. Her story of becoming a healer is a remarkable one.
    In this EnergyTalk you will hear about what homeopathy is and how it can help you heal. Recently she opened the Natural Health Centre in The Hague. This idea came knocking at her door in many forms. You could call it divine intervention up to the point when she was ready to take steps.
    You can read more about Sandra’s work on these links:
