thanks for visiting!

I run a separate publication for Design, Innovation, and Human Behavior. The random writings here are on Life Lessons and Personal Development. Other publications have picked up 4 articles: Leaving Netherlands, Startup Hiring, Startup Life, and Women in Tech. And these were the ones I wrote with my heart: What is “ikigai”? (a Japanese word) — 5 min Is Meditation Counterproductive? — 6 min What a Mentor Learned: the Two Qualities of Those Who Succeed — 7 min

I’ve Always Known The Two Gods

A Soliloquy on The Divine Feminine and The Divine Masculine — When I was 4 years old, I learned the word “God” in two languages. One language from my country of birth, and another one from far away.

Manifesto of a Lover

I was born to readily love anyone. What prevents me from loving is fear. The fear can come from myself or other people. My best moments are when I get rid of my fear and the only fears available between me and others are theirs. People translate deep-seated fears into…
