So, we all have a story and here is mine...

Behind me I had had a broad and international career spanning 8 countries on 3 continents, with 25 years of experience in global companies and organizations. I came from a loving home, lived and traveled around the world, was educated, ambitious, hardworking, earned well, and had many wonderful friends. Outwardly, I exuded confidence, but within, I struggled with deep and infinite confusion about how life should be lived. I just couldn't grasp why I was so unhappy in life and always felt a bit 'less than' everyone else. It was a puzzle, a mystery to me—I was just wired that way, I reasoned.

In 2001, when I was 36 years old, I could not keep up appearances anymore. I lost my job in an organizational change, and losing my job was my horror, my worst nightmare—the thing I feared most in my entire life. It was unthinkable. Deep, overwhelming shame. It was the absolute proof that I wasn't good enough. For the first time in my life, I was unemployed, and I felt like an utter failure. And as if that weren’t enough, two months later I discovered I was pregnant with a man who would not be part of my child’s life. How could this be my life? It felt like a surreal dream, far from any future I had ever envisioned.

However, it turned out (of course!) that all of this was the best thing that could ever happen to me, and I am extremely grateful for everything it brought with it today.

I was exhausted with life, but I didn't know it was because I was constantly in survival mode, always trying to be the person I thought I 'should' be. I didn't understand that I had a hundreds of made-up expectations about myself and at least as many fabricated notions about what others expected from me.

In retrospect, it was inevitable really that my life crashed the way it did. So many years of trying to fit in - to be 'someone.' Through my crisis, life was trying to tell me something important – that it was time for change. And the evidence was painfully clear.

“Just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true,” my therapist said to me one day. What?! My thoughts aren’t true? That insight shook me to my core and literally took my breath away. 

Those 8 words catapulted me into a search for truth. If my thoughts weren’t true, then what was? This was the beginning of an incredibly fascinating journey, which has now been ongoing for 24 years. This journey has led me to a deep understanding of the nature of thought, how the environment we grow up in creates our perception of reality, and how we innocently allow ourselves to be deceived by thought that can never be true, but feels so real. I have invested far more than Malcolm Gladwell’s famous 10,000 hours in studying psychology, philosophy, theology, spirituality, and leadership. Every day brings new insights into the power of thought and how it creates an illusion of separation from our true nature, an illusion we then identify with and call “I.”

Nothing I have ever read or studied has been more powerful than directly experiencing the illusory nature of thought and the truth about who I am. This is something that cannot be taught through books or theories – it must be experienced. Therefore, I offer no methods, models, or theories – I offer a direct experience of your true self.

With multiple certifications in coaching and leadership development, I have been coaching and teaching various personal development modalities since 2012. English is my native language, but I speak both Swedish and Danish fluently. I am a proud mother to a wonderful daughter, whom I have raised entirely on my own, and we have a fluffy little dog.
