I’ll keep it simple and random with these snippets. For lovers of facts and figures, scroll all the way down.
1) I’m originally from Switzerland, the small country of chocolate and cheese … mmh, chocolate … I only moved to Scotland in 2022, so bear with me and my imperfect English (do you hear the perfectionist speaking? ;) ).
If you feel like contacting me in German, French or Italian, freue ich mich! à bientôt! Non vedo l'ora!
... speaking of imperfect, yes, I'm guilty of being a perfectionist. If you can relate to that, I'm happy to share these 5 incredible tools that help me deal with it and celebrate the joy of good enough.
2) I LOVE superheroes (it's hard to miss, right?) and believe that we can learn a lot from their mindset (“fear and self-doubt won’t hold me back”).
When I was a kid, we used to play The Bionic Woman. Yes, back in the 80ies, we were out and about and came up with our own ideas – happy days. The Bionic Woman is a 70ies TV show about Jamie, a professional tennis player, who gets cybernetic implants which make her super fast and strong.
TV productions were not as fancy yet and when she used her superpowers, an iconic sci-fi sound was played. We tried to imitate it while pretending to be her and to run with high speed over the playground, hilarious … you now wish this was a video, right?
3) My first book was called The green sapphire and I wrote it on my granddad’s Hermes Baby. It was some adventure story about an archaeologist chasing an ancient treasure … ingenious, right?
Ok, I admit it, I didn’t get past chapter 4 and it definitively lacked uniqueness. But I kept writing, published 5 books in German so far, and I’m currently working on number 6 – stay tuned, it’s gonna be in English!
4) Unfortunately, I don't have any siblings. As a wee girl, every Christmas, when I wrote my wish list for the "Christ Kind" (it's the Swiss Santa and what we believe brings the presents on Christmas), I asked for a little brother and a big sister. What shall I say, I remained an only child. "Christ Kind", you lost a believer …
5) The 3 C’s: Things that make me feel comforted, cosy and comfortable in my body:
As an introvert who knows self-doubt since my teenage years and who tried to fit in all my life, I know how hard it can be to navigate life and success while staying true to yourself.
A square peg doesn't fit into a round hole without having to cut off its edges. Therefore, I also know that there is another way without changing who you are!
I FEEL YOU and your pain of being torn between craving solitude and wanting to be seen. It can be a constant battle but it doesn't have to be.
Through my feminine embodiment coaching, I help ambitious introverts break barriers, build confidence, and show up authentically.
