Do you have mixed feelings about the holiday season?

I sure do 😅

As much as I enjoy the general atmosphere of cheerfulness and winter wonderland - growing up in West Africa I kind of missed out as a child / teen - a part of me doesn't feel aligned.

There's the consumerist behaviour, the accumulation, the overflowing shelves and the chocolate Santas that've been available for over a month now.

There's the thought that many won't have a nice Christmas, whether they give value to it or not. The homeless, the people in war zones, the people in poverty, the people who are alone, the elderly, the outcasts, the misfits...

There's the fact that my French family will be together, without me. I am responsible for that as I made the choice not to travel at Christmas since my pregnancy, not willing to carry heavy luggage back and forth. Still, I'll miss them. And the food!

Around me I see friends fretting because they MUSt do this, prepare that, they HAVE TO bite their tongue because they don't want to offend X or Y, they feel COMPELLED to accommodate everyone, give priority to other people's desires, come second in their own life.

Everybody's super busy: mentally, physically, emotionally.

So I've been inspired by the advent calendar I crafted for our home years ago, and thought it would be nice to open a self-care door every day.

It's nothing compulsory and totally adaptable depending on what you need and feel. But if you don't know where to start, and yet feel that you need to give yourself some form of priority daily, then head towards my bio and find the link to the calendar download. Or copy/paste this link:

The prompts and suggestions will help you look after your well-being, which is indispensable when you tend to over-give and over-do!

Do you ever feel panic when you start thinking about all the things you’ve got to do?
I do. Or rather, I did.
I have learnt to let go of things I can’t control, and to prioritise the ones I have some control over.

A very useful tools for that is the « Eisenhower matrix ». I guess it’s originally a productivity tool for managers but hey, I’m the manager of my life 😂

How I do it? Write down on squares of draft paper all the things that are in my head - which I call my mental to-do list.

Then I classify into categories according to the matrix (it only applies to things I can control, that’s the first filter: I toss the papers with things I can’t control).

Then I ask myself whether it’s important, and then whether it’s urgent.

Finally, I plan whatever came out as important in my planner according to the level of urgency.

And I keep in mind that I should evenly spread the load rather than do it all at once.

So far, it has dramatically reduced the feeling of overwhelm. I think part of it is also the fact of writing things done: it frees up space for more exciting stuff 😜

The past 6 years of my life have been filled with the greatest joy and the greatest suffering. I had experienced suffering before, physically (sprains and back pain mostly) and emotionally (like when my mother passed away for instance). But the accumulation in those 6 years was something new.

6 years and a half ago, I moved to Germany, more precisely Munich, even more precisely my boyfriend’s apartment. I has all the reasons in the world to rejoice: a boyfriend with whom I was moving in, a teaching job in the French school, a new country to discover, a language I’d learnt at school to reactivate.

Except that it wasn’t that easy. I was 37 years old, and had die hard habits of living alone. My boyfriend’s apartment was where he’d used to live with his ex-girlfriend, even though he’d since been living alone for quite a while too.

The job in the French school was to last only for 4 months, and was a part-time job. So I was looking for hours here and there to reach a full time position, which I achieved at the European school - in total I was working more than full time. And it turned out that the temporary position became permanent.

Hadn’t I moved in with my boyfriend, we wouldn’t have seen each other much… And German wasn’t coming back as quick as I had hoped. Unknown words and daily life vocabulary (sorry, excuse me, thank you…) came in Hungarian - just like at the beginning of my Budapest years these words would have come in Mandarin (the last language I’d learnt and not mastered).

I was living in a new home, in three languages, working in two places, teaching 5 subjects (4 of which I’d never taught before) to kids between 6 and 18 with sh*tloads of prep works for two different school systems, for more than a full-time job. So much for settling down and building a new nest.

The way my brain works: I know my husband’s schedule better than he does because he mentioned it once but can’t remember where I « stored » my new earphones.

That’s why I am a sucker for sticky notes 😅🙈
They have invaded my work space and I love them.

I love that they don’t have to be fluorescent yellow anymore.

I love that I can endlessly rearrange them. I am quite visual.

I love that they give me clarity and free up much needed brain space.

This is one of the (many) ways I work around my ADHD, or more precisely the feelings of overwhelm and confusion it can create.

And not having to use up memory space for stuff that doesn’t need to be known forever… bliss!

What’s your favourite tool?
Are you neurotypical and yet a sticky note lover?
I want to know!!! (I need to know everything, that’s another ADHD thing with me 😅)

My ADHD brain! It knows very few limits 😅
It can really be a superpower 🦸

If you learn how to tame its constant activity and how to harness its laser focus, you’re unstoppable. Unless it’s about maths 🤪 (that is meant as a joke and applies only to me - or dies it apply to you too? 🤔 maybe I should start a study about it!)

One of the ADHD “symptoms” that made me recognise myself was the accumulation of hobbies and passions. I have so many there isn’t enough space at home to store all the stuff I come up with and make.

And the ability to hyper focus. Ok, skipping meals isn’t too healthy but I can do SO MUCH when I am in a state of hyperfocus! I don’t see time pass by, I’m in my world doing my thing and I’m super productive.

I think of my brain as a double-edged sword. If I learn how to use the sharp side, then I don’t really care if the other side is blunt.

For some people, ADHD is still a synonym of “young boy bouncing off the walls”. Well, that’s very untrue.
I am not a boy.
I am 42.
I don’t bounce off walls.
As long as I didn’t know about my ADHD, I was trying to do like everyone else. I was losing myself and my energy in the process.

Now I know.
I feel empowered.
And I am determined to do things my way. 💪

What are you going to do for yourself this weekend? Follow along for some re-balancing breathing!

Why on earth would you book a discovery call?

You've seen these terms around, you've never dared to ask but you wonder...🤔

OK, you've put 2 and 2 together and you understand that it's a call where you'll get to discover a professional.
But is it a friendly chat with a total stranger?
A hard sale pitch?
Are you basically going to waste your time?

Here's how I see it: it's the 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

And if the coach you're getting on the call with is the person you want to work with and trust.
(𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢 - 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳)

And for me, it's a half hour to demonstrate to you how I can help you and maybe enrol you in one of my offerings so you can get more change and transformation.

And if we're not a match made in heaven, no hard feelings!
I like it when things are clear and everyone feels comfortable with their decision. Better a 'no' than a 'no show', right? Saves everyone time in our busy, busy lives 🥰

If you'd like to find out what it's like to work with me, head towards my bio and find the 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦 - there's a button there that takes you straight to a booking calendar. See you soon, maybe 😉

Your background matters - it's made you who you are now.
You might have embraced it, or rejected it. You may have analysed it.

Whatever your relation to your background, it's part of who you have become. Where you grew up, your social condition, your parents, your ancestry, your friends...

I've been working on my own background lately. The picture isn't even a joke:
- I've trained in yoga and meditation during Covid,
- I love to spend time connecting with the Universe through oracles (not regularly, but I started when I was a teen),
- I've collected crystals since I was a girl (one of them behind me is an amethyst I got when I was 10 than has now turned white!),
- I've got a Yi Qing book I bought when I was studying Chinese at university,
- the orchids remind me of the luxurious vegetation of Sierra Leone when I grew up partly...
- And I've been an awful mess (though not in a drawer).

Putting all these things together make so much sense for me now, as a coach interested in Human Design. It's as if my whole life experience had brought me to where I am now, as if my struggles were a training phase to be able to help others now.

I also know that I carry my own load of patterns that come from my background and that I'm not done clearing yet. But the fact that I know is already such a step forward!

Do you spend time reflecting on how your background has influenced who you are?
I'd love to read your answers ❤️

I'm launching my business with a scholarship -> a free enrolment in the 12-week programme!
Because I believe in giving back.
And I want to build my business in alignment with my values.

When your life seems to be falling apart,
when you keep putting pressure on yourself,
when you ignore the signs your body sends you,
when you barely make ends meet,
you might need someone to support you and simply extend a hand.

I'm hoping I can be that person, the one who gives you a gentle nudge and says "hey, I see you. I know what's going on with you now. I can help, if you'd like me to".

Support is key when you're going through hardships.
Financial support counts too.

So if the only thing that's stopping you from investing in your well-being is money, I've got you covered with this free spot.
