Guessing you have had many entertaining, some wonderful, some not so memorable and a few questionable New Years Eve celebrations in your life. You are not alone. In my case, there were some funny ones. For instance, when we moved to England, and simply expected it to be similar to our home excitement for fireworks. We would get ready to find a decent spot to see the pier in great anticipation to see the display from the distance. Only to learn that there was no such thing as

As a parent we experience an emotional range during one day which is so rich it could easily be enough to fill a whole week. I find this exciting, a real privilege! Especially with younger children between ages 2-7, they live creatively so much in the present moment, it is staggering. One minute they are in JOY with their toys, the next second something does upset them and their little world seems to fall apart, they are beyond sad. They show us how raw, unscripted and deep

Who...Marie Kondo? Yes, the Tidy-lady from Netflix and best-selling books is influencing the appearance of our wardrobes, closets, drawers, keep-sakes, bookshelves around the world and I wonder WHY! Inspired by my friend Lisa, who mentioned Marie Kondo I undertook the experiment to transform our house, well parts of it, in her unique way. I watched a few episodes and soon it was clear, why this is so popular. Marie Kondo has a talent and obviously packaged her offerings righ

Dear Mind You friend. If you are a teenager, play! If you are an adult, play! If you are parent, play and play with your kids. If you are a grandparent, play! If you are a teacher, play! One of the greatest joys I remember from my childhood is free playtime! Carefree, no responsibility, endless time for imaginative play, board games or outdoor ball games. I vividly remember playing dodgeball with all my kids from the neighborhood, marking the field lines with chalk on the cul

What is going on? Coconut water, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut flakes, coconut yogurts, coconut pieces, coconut flakes, coconut flour, and now even coconut shampoo and when I bought my first Dr. Organix coconut day and night cream, I thought I am going nuts! I am a therapist and coach, so do not worry, I have got some tools to stay sane....

...you just want to know the How, right? I always knew that I want to be a mum, this was a crystal clear vision like an image or a movie in my head. I could imagine pushing or even go running with the buggy, looking at a smiley happy baby. I knew that life would change, no doubt! Change is part of life, I was prepared for a big change. It did not phase me at all: At some point in life, I wanted to become a mum. Nowadays I call this manifesting or visioneering, back then I wo

Isn't it fascinating, life unfolds and we don't know what is going to happen. When I go to bed, I assume that the sun will shine the next morning, or is hiding behind clouds, giving Mother Earth the vital energy and warmth. It's certain, I don't even think about it, do you? Have you heard of the 6 human needs: As a human being we have these different needs: certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection/love, growth and to contribute.

A nice person recently asked me this question: 'Are you successful? You know with your....what is it called? Therapy? Coaching? You know, the stuff you are doing?' To my surprise, I was speechless and in my head I heard: 'Hell yes, I am successful.' Have you been in a situation like that? The second after, I questioned myself: 'Am I successful? I am seeing clients and they seem to gain something. Do I have enough clients to say I am successful? How many hours of the wee

Are you having a good day? Or maybe it is one of those when you are not really sure, you feel stressed, little things are just making you feel on edge. Yes, I have those days, and I am sure we all have those days from time to time. If you are this kind of person that you probably are usually between fairly cheerful to extremely happy. It is a different scale when you believe however that feeling low and grumpy is just the way you are. Because actually you only believe that

I recently attended a Lisa Nichols workshop with 250+ people in San Diego organised by MINDVALLEY, when a women stood up, and reviewed her insights from the exercise we did in pairs. She took the mic and pulled a neutral face, explaining that like herself, the Finnish people would express JOY just like this. I was wondering where she would go with this story, but then she exploded like a firecracker, in her red jumper and white trousers, she jumped filled with JOY, demonstr
