October was my month of change. 🍂

It started with me admitting I’d hit the end of my energy. I pulled the emergency brake. And what did I do instead? I spent time with my animals and with my family. 🐾🤍 Family came to visit, and it meant the world to me that they got to be part of my new home and my new life in this country. ☀️

And then life didn’t stop, of course. Back to an ice skating camp. From sunshine and sea air in Portugal to full-on autumn in Germany. ❄️ Two completely different worlds, and somehow both feel like mine.

But so much has shifted this month:
🤍 I’m prioritising the people who matter, and it shows
⏳ I’m learning to plan my time and energy better
🏡 The house is almost done. All the big work is behind us
🐶 The training of our animals has come so far, it’s fantastic

Sometimes change takes time and a long breath. We still have to look after ourselves along the way. But nothing happens without hard work, discipline, consistency and a heart in the right place. 🤍

♥️ For more realness on social media. 🤍

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at A Bite at the Opera, a charity lunch for Tiny Shelter, who do incredible work for animals here in the Algarve. 🎶🍝

Fantastic Italian food, Bev Davies singing songs from stage and screen, and a room full of people I hadn’t met before, all there for the same reason.

What moved me most: none of us had to sacrifice anything. We did what we love anyway, eating well, listening to music, connecting, and turned it into something that truly matters.

Thank you Alison Geers, for creating this. ❤️

Doing good doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it just starts with saying yes to a seat at the table.

We need more events like this. Who’s joining me next time? 👇

September didn’t go to plan. It rarely does. 🌊

A bathroom still under construction. A camp in the Czech Republic. Kilometres between Portugal, Germany and back. 2027 already on my desk. And then two baby dogs. 🐶🐶 That means sleepless nights and cats and puppies learning to share one home.

I’m tired. Truly.

For years I believed being strong meant carrying everything myself. So many women I know still live exactly like that.

But the sea taught me something: no captain sails alone. Every ship needs a crew.

So I’m learning to delegate, to sit back, and to let some things stay unfinished, like my bathroom. 🙈

Asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s how you stay on course. ⛵

Who’s on your crew? 👇

Taking the plunge into ice-cold mountain water. 💦
Back on the ice in Füssen, where I tell my skaters: skating is like the waves of the ocean. Up and down, in your knees and in your progress. 🌊
Welcoming Dolly and Daisy to the family 🐾
Grabbing a paintbrush as the renovation moves on, now the bathroom too. 🎨
Eating well, staying active and still enjoying every good meal and glass. 🍷

Five years at sea taught me how small we are. The ocean doesn’t care about our plans. And yet we steer.
I’m the captain of this ship. I choose where I go, where I want to be and how I shape my life. To me, that’s freedom. ⚓

Still catching up, and the journey is already moving on.

A month of movement, challenges, people, places… and a lot of life in between.

Portugal. Czech Republic. Oberstdorf.
Skating camps, mountains, long walks, friends, family, coaches who have become family — and, of course, the animals who somehow always make everything feel a little lighter. 🤍

This month challenged me in more ways than I expected.

Some challenges I chose myself. Climbing mountains that turned out to be steeper than expected. Swimming out into a reservoir in Portugal when a younger version of me probably would have stayed safely on the shore.

Others I definitely didn’t choose. Plans changed unexpectedly, one of my camps suddenly couldn’t happen as planned, and I had to react quickly, find solutions and keep moving.

And maybe that’s what this month reminded me of most:

We don’t get to choose everything life throws at us.
But we do get to choose what we do next.

Stay positive.
Make a plan.
Take action.

Don’t sit back and wait for something good to happen.

Climb the mountain. Get in the water. Change the plan. Call the people. Find the solution. Keep going.

And surround yourself with people — and apparently quite a few cats 🐈 — who make you remember why it’s all worth it.

A very full month.
A slightly crazy one.
But definitely one I’ll remember. ♥️

July, summarized: I don’t think I sat still for more than two days in a row.

Work in Portugal, then the beach with Jon in between — because even the busiest month needs a few hours that belong to no one but us. A trip to London for some real family time. Then straight back into motion: interesting hotels, interesting people, a camp in Switzerland where the kindness of everyone I met genuinely caught me off guard. And right now, I’m still in the Czech Republic, running another camp with a group of skaters I already don’t want to say goodbye to.

If I’m honest, there was no real space to pause this month. It was exhausting in a way that doesn’t show up in photos. But it was also one of those months I know I’ll look back on and smile — because this is exactly what building a life you chose looks like.

Five countries. One version of me that didn’t get lost in any of them. 🤍

Moving my life to Portugal didn’t happen because everything was figured out. It happened because I decided that “figured out” was never going to arrive on its own — I had to build it, one hard decision at a time. 🧳 Leaving the comfort of what I knew. Learning to run my company from a new home, with a new rhythm, a new perspective. Learning that being a CEO doesn’t mean having all the answers — it means being willing to sit with the uncertainty and keep showing up anyway. 💼

This photo was taken in one of those quiet in-between moments. No skating rink, no meetings, no to-do list. Just salt on my skin and the sun doing what it does best here — reminding me why I chose this life. ☀️🤍

I won’t pretend it’s been easy. Building something of your own — a company, a new home, a new rhythm of life — takes more grit than anyone sees from the outside. But I’ve learned this: dreams aren’t handed to you. You earn them, piece by piece, decision by decision. And when you do the work, they really can come true. ✨

So tell me 👇 what’s one decision you made that scared you, but changed everything?

🇨🇭 First SKATE Club camp in Switzerland… and what an experience. 🤍

Engelberg completely won us over.

From the incredible organization and the ice staff to the wonderful restaurant team—everyone made us feel so welcome while being genuinely professional every step of the way.

Seeing skaters from Germany and Switzerland come together, work hard, laugh even harder, and enjoy the breathtaking mountain scenery made this camp one I’ll never forget. 🏔️⛸️

Thank you to everyone who made this week so special.

We’ll definitely be back. ❤️
