Are you an international researcher at NTNU, or the spouse/partner of an international employee?

In partnership with NTNU NIRS, I’m pleased to invite you to a new interactive workshop next Thursday, June 4: Priorities and Progress: Staying Focused on Your Career and Wellbeing in Uncertain Times

Global uncertainty can make it difficult to stay focused, motivated, and emotionally grounded - especially while building a career and life in academia abroad. This workshop is designed to support international researchers navigating those challenges.

Through guided reflection and practical exercises, participants will explore:
• how attention, worry, digital habits, and internal pressure affect focus and wellbeing
• strategies for regaining clarity and direction
• practical tools for protecting energy and strengthening boundaries
• ways to focus more intentionally on what is within their control and influence

The workshop draws on frameworks such as the circles of control, mental “saboteurs,” and self-compassion practices inspired by Kristin Neff.

Participants will leave with greater self-awareness, practical tools, and a small set of realistic actions to support both career growth and personal wellbeing.
📍 Location: NTNU Gløshaugen
🗓️ Date: Thursday, June 4
🕙 Time: 10:00–12:30
🥗 Vegetarian lunch included at 12:30 (room open from 9:45)

Registration is required. Please complete this registration form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjAe5LH29mbcXKZ7HrHzpUnXvrZ4fPYrdzd2VonXO8gYxCvg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=112427452213192495012) by Monday, June 1, and include your name and NTNU affiliation.

When I tell people I moved to Trondheim for my ex’s job, and then chose to stay after my divorce, the reactions are always interesting. 👀✨

Confusion.
Assumptions.
Surprise.
Curiosity.

But here I am, 11 years later.
Not because everything is perfect.
But because it feels like home. 🇳🇴✨

And sometimes in the background, “Ja, vi elsker dette landet” just plays in my head when I’m out in Bymarka. 🌲🤍 I’ve had so many moments here of awe, stillness, and deep gratitude.

I chose to stay for three reasons: ✨
I feel safe here. 🤍
I love friluftsliv: city life + nature right in our backyard. 🌲
I built a “framily” here. People who feel like home. 🫶

Because not everything here works for everyone.
Some people don’t feel safe.
Some feel lonely.
Systems aren’t perfect.

But communities aren’t built on perfection. 💭
They’re built by people who choose to care.
To stay.
To show up.
To include others.
To create belonging together. ✨💛

So maybe the real question isn’t “Is this place perfect?”
But: Who are my people here? 👀
Do you think home is a place… or people? 🏡✨

The word “divorce” still feels a bit… 🫣

Loaded. Uncomfortable. Like something that happens to other people.
But the truth? It’s incredibly common.

For me, divorce wasn’t just an ending.
It became a turning point. ✨

A moment where everything paused… and I had to ask:
Who am I now? And who do I want to become next?

It’s been one of the hardest chapters of my life.
And also one of the most clarifying.
A chance to rebuild.
A chance to redefine home.
A chance to rethink money, identity, and relationships.

Not in a perfect way.
Not in a finished way.
But in a real, messy, human way. I’m still in it.

I’m curious… 💭
How does the word “divorce” land with you?

And if you’re on this path yourself, or supporting someone who is, you’re not alone.

If you want to hear more about my journey rebuilding life, money, and identity after divorce, join me for a digital event with Chisom:

How often do you overthink friendship and community? 👀✨

The pressure to have the perfect 17th of May can feel… a lot. 🇳🇴💅
Perfect home. Perfect outfit. Perfect friend group. Perfect moment.

Exhausting, honestly.

This year, I’m choosing connection over performance. ❤️
A “good enough” 17th of May is more than enough. 🌸

Your apartment doesn’t need to look Pinterest-perfect. 🕯️
Your outfit doesn’t need to be flawless. ✨
Your plans don’t need to look like a movie scene. 🎈

What actually matters? 💫
📲 Send the text
🤍 Invite someone in
🌷 Ask the quiet or new person what they’re doing
✨ Be the one who creates the table
💛 Don’t wait for a seat

And maybe this is the real reminder: stop waiting to be chosen.
So many people are quietly lonely - even the ones who look “fine” online. 💭

Let’s be the spark this year, for the good of the realm 🐢👑✨🇳🇴
Warmth. Courage. Belonging.

Who are you texting first? 👀📲

👻 “Who you gonna call?”
Ghostbusters.

Found this throwback of me with the amazing Pamela Helder Naylor and Hege Solbakken , back when we were Team Awesome on the 3rd floor at Birralee International School, dressed as Ghostbusters for Halloween. 🎃

And it got me thinking:
When life gets messy…
When growth feels hard…
When your nervous system is overloaded…
When you’re stuck in old patterns…

Who do you call? ☎️

Too often, we’re taught to handle it alone:
📚 Read the books
✍️ Do the journaling
💭 Go to therapy
🎧 Listen to the podcasts
🌱 Do the “self” development work

And yes, that matters.

But some of our deepest healing and growth happens with others:
💬 Honest conversations
🫂 Being supported
😭😂 Crying, laughing, celebrating, telling the truth
✨ Feeling seen, challenged, and connected

Because we don’t heal in a vacuum.

There’s power in hearing:
💛 “Me too.”
💛 “You’re not alone.”
💛 “I see you.”

We all need people to call 📞

That’s why I created this group coaching space:
✨ Growth
✨ Accountability
✨ Support
✨ Real connection

🎉 4 women have joined
👀 4 spots remain

⏰ Doors close Sunday at 6pm
📅 First session Monday at 11am

So… when life gets messy, who you gonna call? 👻

If you’re ready for structured peer support + private coaching, DM me. 📩

We are 122 days into 2026. 📅

And most people are still trying to grow alone.
That’s a problem.

Not lack of effort.
Not a lack of time.
Not a lack of information.

Isolation.

Because SCRAT energy looks like:
⚡ reacting
⚡ overthinking
⚡ pushing through
⚡ holding everything internally

And Turtle Queen energy looks like:
🐢 support
🫶 accountability
🧠 co-regulation
✨ actually changing how you move through your life

That shift is what changes everything.

One of my clients, Emma Steer said it best after my group coaching program:
“I felt listened to and supported by the whole group. I gained confidence in speaking out. Being held accountable by a wider group was really helpful.”

This is what happens when you stop doing it alone.

But here’s the important part:
I have 4 final spots left in my current group 🚨
And I am closing enrollment.
⏰ Doors close Sunday at 6 pm.
🐢We start Monday at 11 am.

DM me “TURTLE” now so we can chat about the details and get you the structured individual AND group support you need.

🔥 Hot take: self-development works… until you try to do it 100% alone.

We’re told growth is personal.
Read the books 📚
Do the journaling ✍️
Go to therapy 💭
Listen to the podcasts 🎧
Download this app 📲
Do “the work” alone.

And yes… that matters, and all of the above have been VERY helpful for me. 🌱

BUT some of my deepest growth didn’t happen in isolation.

It happens:
💬 in hard conversations
🫂 in being held when life feels heavy
😭😂 in crying, laughing, celebrating, and telling the truth
✨ in spaces where you feel seen, challenged, and supported

Because we don’t heal in a vacuum.

There is something powerful about hearing:
💛 “Me too.”
💛 “You’re not alone.”
💛 “I see you.”
💛 “I appreciate __ in you.”

Self-development matters.
But relationships and community are ESSENTIAL too. 🫶

That’s why I created this group coaching space:
✨ Growth
✨ Accountability
✨ Support
✨ Real connection

4 women have joined. 🎉
4 spots remain. 👀

Doors close Sunday at 6pm. ⏰
📅 First session Monday at 11 am.
DM me “COMMUNITY” for the details. 📩

What’s helped you grow more - doing the work alone or with others?

01/05/2026

“I don’t know how you do it all…”

I hear that a lot. And the truth is:
I don’t. 😏

And I don’t want to. 🚫

Because I’ve already lived the version of me that tried to do everything.

The one who was always “on.” Always pushing. Always squeezing more in.
Trying to be the best teacher, leader, daughter, wife, friend, and somehow also hold it all together. 🥇

From the outside, it looked impressive.
On the inside? I felt rushed, scattered, and completely disconnected from myself. 🐿️🥜

I still remember my coach asking me:
“Do you want to keep living like this for the next 3 years?”

And I realized I didn’t.

That question changed everything. 🌱

Not a dramatic breakdown. Just a quiet moment of truth and a decision that I wanted something different.

So I started changing how I lived and worked:
🛌 I protected my time and energy like it actually mattered
🤝 I stopped trying to figure everything out alone
🎯 I got clear on my mission, values, and priorities

That’s how I became a Turtle Queen. 👑🐢
Not by doing more, but by doing what actually matters, with the right support.

And that’s why my clients invest in coaching too. 💕
Not because they can’t cope, but because they can see the trajectory.

Because in 3 years, you’re either:
→ Still busy but stuck
→ Further from what you actually want
→ Or building a life and career that feels aligned, calm, and sustainable ✨

So I’ll ask you what my coach asked me:
If nothing changes, where will you be in 3 years, and do you want that life?

If you’re ready to stop “doing it all” and start doing what actually matters, my From Scrat to Turtle Queen program starts soon. 👀

It’s not too late, and there is still room for a few more turtles. 🐢💛

Still letting your inner critic run the meeting? 🧠💎
🤔 “Who am I to do this?” spirals
The researchers and leaders I work with don’t usually lack capability…
they’re just stuck in:

🧠 overthinking every decision
📊 second-guessing themselves
🤔 “who am I to do this?” spirals
🏆 guilt around prioritizing their own needs or career

I had a client step into her first leadership role feeling like a gray pebble 🪨 playing small, overanalyzing everything 🐿️, and exhausted from imposter thoughts running the show.

Here’s what shifted:
✨ She got real support
🛠️ She practiced the tools
🚫 She stopped believing every thought
👀 She learned to catch self-sabotage in real time

And slowly… she started showing up like the diamond she already was. 💎

That’s the work. Not becoming someone new. But turning down the volume on the voice that’s been dimming your shine. ✨

So let me ask you: How much of your day is still being hijacked by self-doubt?

29 pots on the stove. 🍲🔥

That’s how one of my clients described her life.
Too many projects. Too many expectations.
Not enough time, energy, or space. 😵‍💫

And underneath it all?
Saying yes… and feeling guilty for wanting to slow down. 🟢🛑

Sound familiar? 👀

She didn’t need more hours in the day.
She needed a new way of working.

Now?
Less chaos. More clarity. Systems that actually work.
More energy. More fun. ✨

Ready to finally prioritize that thing on your to-do list, without guilt?
