And the winner is: FREEDOM.
And the winner is: FREEDOM.
Last week, I had the honor of sharing my passion with over 40 powerful and inspiring women. As I often do, I started with a simple question:
What does happiness mean to you?
Whether in the USA or the Netherlands, the same word comes out on top: freedom 🕊️
Alongside freedom, many other beautiful happiness words made it onto the board:
🎨 creativity · 😂 laughter · 🌿 presence · 🤍 friendship · ⚡ energy · ❤️ love.
What continues to fascinate me is the incredible diversity in how people view life and happiness — and how, with clarity, people truly start to shine, align, and connect on a deeper level. ✨
Because the truth is — and I’ve seen this across many entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators — most people don’t lack talent, motivation, or freedom.
They lack clarity.
➡️ Clarity about what drives them.
➡️ Clarity about what drains them.
➡️ Clarity about what makes them feel present, connected, and alive.
The result? Most people are unhappy, on auto-pilot or feel stuck! Not because their lives are bad, but because their lives are misaligned and out of balance.
That’s what made this happiness masterclass — themed “Clarity in a World of Noise” — extra special.
🚫 No noise.
🚫 No comparing.
🚫 No perfection.
✅ Just real conversations, real connections, and real clarity about what de-stresses us, what lights the inner fire — and what type of happiness makes us feel most alive.
Curious about the masterclass? Feel free to DM me. 📬😃
💟 Feeling incredibly grateful for this magical night and for everyone’s trust, openness, engagement, and fun.
