Why won’t this process overwhelm you, even though everything else does?
Because we start with truth.
Real truth. Nervous system truth.
We don’t pile on another to-do list.
We pause the loop that’s been running your life.
We write the thoughts down.
We name them.
Black on white.
No hiding. No bypassing.
And when they’re in front of you—you can finally stop being ruled by them.
You can start responding instead of reacting.
Leading instead of spinning.
Breathing instead of bracing.
But we don’t stop there.
We reconnect you to your perfect nature.
The part of you that was never broken, never behind, never too much.
We root into universal principles that feel like remembering—not learning.
We create structures that hold you, not control you.
And once those are in place?
You stop pushing.
You start moving from something deeper.
Something real.
Because it rings true in your body.
It clicks. It lands. And it leads.
This is the Be–Act–Receive method.
It’s not theory.
It’s a way of living that makes sense in your bones.
If you’re ready to step into this—comment below and I’ll send you the link.
We begin now.
Let’s go.
This is my story and my hope is that it inspires you to trust yourself even more. I have made some really big life decisions in a short period of time in the past 5 years, strongly based on intuition, my inner knowing.
I moved to the USA, got married, had a baby, started my coaching business, shifted @afriek to organic cotton.
It all shifted when my world as I once knew it was falling apart (2018) and I had to search for better answers. When my coach @floortjelopes said to me: “I can’t really say after one conversation, but actually I think I know what your issue is: you’ve been giving away your power to everyone else. It’s time to take it back” - I felt a strong inner knowing that here was the answer I was looking for. I was exhausted from listening to everyone else’s advice and constantly doubting myself, never being good enough. That conversation kick-started a whole new vision for me, a remembrance of what we know from an early age, but loose along the way: that we are Love and that we can trust ourselves. That our path is ours and that when we are aligned and centred we have all the answers within ourselves.
It’s been quite a magical ride. As I said, this is my story, sharing it here as an artistic expression and hoping to inspire someone to see what’s possible.
DM me to book a clarity call so I can support you finding your way back to your intuition, the trust in your inner knowing. I’m practical and down to earth in my approach and have seen so many transformations - in my own life and in the lives of people I have worked with. And I LOVE this work, so please reach out. Our first conversation is free and I trust it will give you great insights.
My life story is unique and I’m not claiming that these things happen to everyone if they simply follow their intuition, nor am I saying that your not following your intuition if these things didn’t happen to you yet (while you would love them to). What I am saying is that my life became so much more peaceful when I started to fully trust myself and I wish the same for everyone!

Comment “success” below to learn my simple tool to focus on success over self doubt and criticism.
Just like my little baby girl, I too dare to go for what is scary and new. Because I’m celebrating myself every step of the way.
I once heard that a baby takes about 72.000 attempts to learn how to walk.
And every step along the way we celebrate. Lifting the head, pushing up. The crawling, the falling.
But at some point we stop.
We exchange celebrations for criticism
Towards our kids, but most of all, towards ourselves
I relearned to celebrate myself by writing my successes every day.
And this simple practice totally transformed how I show up in the world
It’s a practice I share with all my clients. Many feel resistance, it’s so foreign in our society to celebrate yourself. I hold them accountable. I invite them to see even more successes.
Because once you do there are endless benefits. When we love ourselves, and I believe it begins in the mind and how we speak to ourselves, a whole new world opens. You learn how to trust yourself. You experience more peace. You can hear your intuition and follow it. You get to know yourself better. Polishing the mirror.

I’m upgrading many areas in my life, who else is feeling this cosmically guided upgrade sprint?
What I’m learning about the courage club is that it’s for women who know deep down how powerful they are and are ready to live it in all areas of their lives. In their love, their impact, relationships, in receiving abundance and in speaking their truth.
This is for women who are READY to do the WORK. Ready to be confronted (lovingly but sharply) with their blind spots and limiting beliefs. I am learning that this is not for everyone and that is the upgrade!
I’m so excited! You’re invited just send me a DM and we’ll chat.
I work with deeply capable woman already carrying leadership energy, impact, intelligence, and responsibility, but whose nervous system, identity, and relationship with scarcity have not fully caught up to the level of life she is meant to hold.
I help women move from:
* survival leadership → embodied leadership
* over-functioning → aligned power
* proving → receiving
* fragmentation → wholeness
* burnout → sustainable expansion
* external validation → self-trust
* scarcity → overflow
* force → coherence
DM me if you’d like to know more.
APRIL photo dump turns out to be mostly me and Leaf 🍀 it’s a dream to be her mother. when she opens her eyes in the morning the first thing out of her mouth is: mama ik vind je lief (mama i love you). Endless hugs and kisses. My life is so so blessed. My family, my community, the ceremonies and little city trips 💗 shout out to the vegan ham-cheese croissant by @chaumontvegan OMG heaven.
I’m so grateful for this magical life.
Women should lead the world. But how can we lead when we act like we don’t know what is going on? Don’t know how to speak our truth? And operate disconnected from our needs, wants, desires??
How often do we override the needs of our body? I definitely live in my head a lot and I can see my daughter has the same habit. But if our body is the only thing that keeps us here, taking care of it is the most important thing. That’s why I’m such an advocate for self love. Meaning really taking care of your body and your needs. It’s how I connect to my intuition.
Most women do not need more advice. They need a stronger foundation.
A foundation that says: I trust myself.�I know what I want.�I tell the truth.�I honor my intuition.�I stop betraying myself to be liked, chosen, or safe.
That’s why Courage Club matters.
Because this work touches everything.
How you love.�How you lead.�How you choose.�How you communicate.�How you receive.�How you create a life that actually feels like yours.
This is the work beneath the work.�The foundation beneath everything else.
Doors are open now. DM me “COURAGE CLUB” and I’ll send you the details.
I still feel #1 and #3 - what about you? A lot of the beliefs keeping women stuck don’t sound toxic. They sound: responsible, polite, mature, self-aware, realistic.
That’s exactly why they’re so tricky. Scarcity is rarely loud.
More often, it sounds like:
“I’m not asking for too much”
“I just need more time to think”
“No thanks, I can do it myself”
“I can’t receive that unless I earned it”
“It’s just stressful right now”
But when you really look closely, so many of these phrases are just self-protection, self-denial, or inherited conditioning dressed up as socially acceptable.
And love, what keeps you stuck is often not the belief that feels obviously toxic.
It’s the one that feels the most normal.
The one everyone around you says too.
The one culture rewards.
The one that makes you look reasonable while disconnecting you from your power.
Your expansion will require you to question beliefs that once made you feel safe.
I am so curious: Which one hit hardest? Comment the number. My biggest ones (still) are 1 and 3..
One of the simplest and most powerful practices I’ve ever seen shift women is celebrating themselves in real time.
Earlier this year, 150 people joined me in Success Circle, where we shared daily wins in community for 3 months.
The biggest group to date showed me this universal insight: We don’t just need more motivation, we don’t even need more accomplishments or “credentials”, we need to acknowledge ourselves in spaces where we are witnessed in their growth.
This is one of the first practices I bring into Courage Club.
If you joined us earlier this year and been missing this kind of practice, let this be your invitation. Comment “COURAGE” and I’ll send you the next steps.
I never feel like I’m motivating you in my coaching work, I’m guiding you into alignment - something that’s rare in our society, yet it’s the key to living your best, most impactful life. - @johnsofio
Once you trust yourself, everything else will start to make sense and fall into place. No need to motivate yourself to go where your soul wants to go…
COURAGE CLUB Cohort 03 is open now. Join us if you are ready to start trusting yourself again.
