your presence and existence are just enough đ«¶đŒ
regardless of the value you can share, remember youâre a human being, not a human doing. letâs not get tricked into equating our value with the amount of output we can share with people and the world.

the most beautiful thing happens when you truly start to listen to yourself; you become honest.
it can be terrifying â especially when you decide to not do the things youâre really good just because you can or because people would expect you to â but itâs liberating and relieving a big pressure from your shoulders.
and funny enough i realised iâm already practicing the whole philosophy of the playground in real time aka trying and exploring and trying and seeing where it takes you đ
i still donât know much for now but the tolerance i used to have for the âi can handle itâ is nowhere to be found at the moment and iâm leaning towards listening to my precious body đ«¶đŒ
remember you only have one so donât go about destroying to prove anything to anyone!
stay tuned for episode 2 x

started posting differently 4 months ago to challenge myself
to own my voice and to stop hiding behind what people already knew me for
and I realized that most people donât struggle with content or expressing themselves (regardless of the means)
they struggle with being seen without filtering themselves
so they overthink, they delay, they start and stop, and then they say âitâs not workingâ, whilst they never actually gave themselves a real chance
posting has become a space where:
* i test
* i think out loud
* i own my voice
* i sharpen my ideas
and most importantly, where I prove to myself that I can move
itâs very slow and repetitive and sometimes boring (letâs be honest), but thatâs how things get built; by mastering your foundations
(sometimes i loved teaching in my classes đ)
so letâs not waste time with âbetter strategyâ and schedules and planning; letâs stop holding yourself back and start showing up imperfectly but consistently
if youâre tired of overthinking your life instead of entering it, the online Playground is on june 10 â youâll stop hiding and filtering yourself and finally start moving again

your idea doesnât need to be perfect. it needs air + to see the light of day
share the draft. say the thing
talk about the vision before it has a perfect stamp onto it
perfection makes the loop smaller. play keeps it moving.
and honestly, some of the doors youâre waiting for will only appear once you start moving

i really didnât expect this moment today
grief has mostly been anger, sadness and confusion this past year
but today something changed
a neighbour told me i look like my dad and for the first time, i didnât just feel the absence
i saw something beautiful in it
it didnât take the pain away but it felt like beauty and sadness sat together on a bench having a chat
which made me realise that even in grief, something else can exist too
and at the end of the day, you can change narrative about just everything thatâs happening for you đ«¶đŒ
#grief
MAY we stop making our lives so serious that every tiny move feels dangerous
MAY we stop waiting for the perfect plan, the perfect confidence, the perfect timing, the perfect sentence or the perfect version of ourselves
because at some point, âIâm just thinking about itâ becomes âIâm not letting myself liveâ
and God didnât give us a heart to become professional overthinkers with tight chests and abandoned dreams
MAY this month feel like a little opening đ«¶đŒ
to more movement, more courage, more attempts, more âlet me try and we see what happensâ, more choosing yourself without explaining yourself
happy month of may đđ«¶đŒ
what are you excited about this month? đŁ
#playgroundphilosophy #playfirst #doyoufirst #feelingsfirst #portugalretreat
you need play because youâve made everything too serious
every decision. every idea. every next move. every âwhat if this doesnât work out?â
at some point your whole body starts living like one wrong step could ruin the timeline
thatâs why the Playground exists
not to fix, or optimise you, not turning your life into a next renovation project
a few days in nature to move, play, create, connect, eat, laugh, try things, and remember that not every action has to be perfect to be safe
you leave with more space in your body
shoulders down
jaw unclenched
breath back
laughter back
courage back
ideas moving again
June 10â14, Alentejo, Portugal
