It has been nearly 6 years.

Chloé and I built Vibrant from the ground up—heart, soul, and a deep belief in helping women live fully aligned lives.

And now… it’s time for me to close this chapter. ❤️‍🔥

What started as a mission to support women around the world turned into something far greater than I ever imagined. From Tokyo to San Diego, Seattle to Thailand—and the last few years working locally in Annecy and Geneva—I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside incredible women as they navigated change, identity, and growth.

This work has meant everything to me.

But the truth is, I’ve never loved the “selling” part.
The constant visibility. 🫣
Social media. 🤮 (not that I did much on here 😅)

Because at my core, I am not here to perform—I am here to listen, to guide, to hold space.

And that part of me isn’t going anywhere.

While I’m officially closing Vibrant, I will always be that person—for my people, my community, and those who find their way to me.

To everyone who has supported me, followed along, or trusted me with their story—thank you. Truly.

This has been one of the greatest chapters of my life 🤍

And to you: stay true to yourself. Take the brave steps. And don’t forget to notice the small joys—because they are what quietly shape the fabric of our lives.

Signing off…with gratitude, always. ✨

🌍✨ When Life Feels Uncertain ✨🌍
Life as an expat is full of adventure—but sometimes, it brings challenges we don’t expect. Recently, a dear friend faced one of those moments when her home was robbed. Her family wasn’t harmed, but they lost treasured items like jewelry, family heirlooms, and her husband’s engagement watch.
These weren’t just “things”—they held memories, love, and connection. The loss felt deeply personal. 💔 This event reminded me of how deeply we attach memories and emotions to objects, especially as we build lives in new places. These items represent love, connection, and history.
But here’s the thing: resilience isn’t about ignoring the pain. It’s about feeling it, processing it, and then finding the strength to move forward. My friend is now focusing on what truly matters—her family’s safety and the love they share.
💡 Life Lesson: When challenges strike, here’s how to regain your footing: 👉 Acknowledge the Loss: Feel your emotions fully—it’s okay to grieve. 👉 Reframe the Experience: Shift your focus to what remains and where gratitude lives. 👉 Strengthen What Matters: Invest in relationships, habits, and practices that bring peace and joy.
As expats, life can feel unpredictable. But these moments also teach us how strong we truly are. 💪

For two decades, I’ve been on the move—living in different countries, embracing new cultures, and redefining “home” again and again. The expat life has been an incredible adventure, but it’s always felt… temporary.

This past Saturday, everything shifted. I moved into my very own home! 🎉 A place I’ve been renovating and dreaming about, where for the first time in as long as I can remember, my feet are a little stiller.

Does this mean I’ll never move again? Maybe not. But right now, this pause feels powerful.

As expats, we’re always balancing the thrill of exploring with the desire for stability. Wherever you are on your journey, remember:
🌟 Home is what you make it, even in the in-between.
🌟 It’s okay to crave stillness after so much movement.
🌟 Roots and wings can coexist.

For me, this home is a reminder that it’s not just about where we live—but how we live.

The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy with my house renovations and just, well, life. 🤯 Most days I feel grounded and present 🧘‍♀️, even with all the normal ups and downs of running my home and business. ☝️Usually, I prioritize and pride myself on self-care. But not recently. Lately, it felt like everything was turned upside down. Calm is not how I would describe my state of being. 😅 ➡️our water was somehow disconnected in our new house and we needed it urgently to start the plumbing work. ➡️The renovation budget keeps going up. ➡️Things keep breaking in our rental (our 5th move in the last 3 months – and where is my winter coat by the way?) 🙄 ➡️The neighbors complained (twice) that we are too loud, and now we walk on eggshells in our apartment. 😔 ➡️An old friend and I had a breakup, making it my third big loss this year after losing both of my parents. 😰➡️My kids got sick and my husband slammed his finger in a manhole. 🫣

There’s more. Need I continue? I won’t. 😅. Let’s just say things weren’t going as I had planned and everything got flipped on its head. And in turn, my brain flipped, too. 😶‍🌫️I felt busy. I felt rushed. I felt sad. I felt a little nuts. ☝️I didn’t feel these emotions because of my circumstances. I felt them because of what I was thinking. 💭 My brain couldn’t keep up with all the unexpected changes.And then I reminded myself of one simple thing. “It is all ok.” When life sometimes doesn’t go as planned and big emotions come up, we can help ourselves along by telling ourselves... “and it’s ok”. ✨I’m feeling sad, and it’s okay. ✨Everything is going wrong, and it’s okay. ✨I am feeling overwhelmed, and it’s okay. ✨This is not how I planned it, and it’s okay. 👉I understand if you are thinking, but it’s really not always ok. And you would be right. It can be really, really, really hard.

BUT – this subtle shift in your mindset gets you out of that stuck energy cycle and back into feeling more grounded. 😌Because even if you don’t feel it right now, it all really will be okay. Promise. 🙏

🧘‍♀️🪷A mindful morning routine can kickstart your day with positivity and a greater feeling of ikigai.
✨Creating space for rituals in the morning is like setting the stage for positivity, helping you stay focused, easing stress, and finding your inner calm before the day’s hustle begins. It helps to ground us and give us a feeling of intention and purpose. 👉 I know it is sometimes hard to find time in our busy lives, so grab two or three of these morning routine ideas or try all 10 when you can fit it all in, making sure to do a little each day. 🙌

👉 Imagine you have filled your kettle with water to fix yourself a tea.

🔥 The flame gets turned up high and as the water heats and boils, normally the steam generated by the heat releases through the spout, allowing that energy to pour out as it builds up.

🤔 Now imagine that same kettle filled with water with a high flame burning below and a cork stuffed into the spout.

A few days ago a friend commented on the “strength” of another friend going through a difficult pregnancy.

That strength was viewed through the lens of not showing too much emotion, of not crying, of “keeping it together” and staying “strong”.

In many of our societies, we are taught not to talk about sadness, pain, or negative emotions. We are taught not to cry. 😭 🙅‍♀️

We are raised, especially as women, to not be “too emotional” as this undermines our credibility, putting us in the “emotional” camp rather than the “rational” one.

Showing emotion is seen as a sign of weakness.

But what happens to all those feelings and emotions that are being stirred up, lit up, ignited?

If we don’t talk about what we are feeling and the emotions we have, if we don’t cry, we are creating a pressure cooker. 💥

When we cry, we healthily activate the body. We jumpstart our parasympathetic nervous system which helps us to release pressure and to relax.

Meanwhile, talking about our problems, and labeling our feelings and emotions reduces activation in the amygdala, our brain’s alarm system that triggers the fight-or-flight reaction.

When we give words to our emotions, we become less reactive and more mindfully aware.

We start to pull the cork out of the kettle spout.

I am telling you this today because maybe you are struggling with a problem. Perhaps you find yourself bottling up your emotions because you are “strong”. Or maybe you even think they aren’t valid.

Or maybe it is just hard to talk to your friends and family because they just don’t quite understand what is happening in your expat life, and so you find yourself alone in your emotions.

If this is you, I am here to listen to you. I am here to hear you. ☎️ book your free call and let’s chat. Link in the bio

🌎The first months of expat life are exciting as we start to create our new worlds.

We are distracted by all the busyness. There is so much to set up, organize, think about. The admin and to-do lists seem endless and we are constantly running. 😅

With everything new and different, we are excited and hopeful. What used to be mundane activities in our home country now are great adventures. 🏔️

👉Going to the grocery store, riding the bus, finding products we need. We are immersed heavily in all this change and newness.

When we start to get on top of all the to-do’s and things begin to settle, our brain finally has time to recognize what the hell is going on and what this all means. 🤯

Loneliness sets in, wantonness for our comforts, family and friends. We question our choice. Feeling uncomfortable becomes the new norm and we feel isolated.🥺

☝️This is the culture shock part of the expat life cycle and it is completely normal.

We all experience a bit of culture shock during our expatriation whether we are a first-time expats or a seasoned ones.

👉 Sometimes making the jump from culture shock to adaptation can take a very long time. Sometimes it never happens. This is why companies have a 30% failure rate in the expatriation of employees. This is why the accompanying spouse finally throws in the towel and says that’s it, I want to go home.

💫This piece of the expat life cycle is my specialty. It is where, as an expat of over 15 years, I can help other expats find their way; take charge of their expat life; be causal rather than reactionary.

By taking your expat by the reigns, you adapt. You integrate. You succeed.

I love working with expats who feel stuck in their expat life but want to thrive. They want to get there but they can’t figure out how. ☎️ If this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.
