When you are stuck in the messy middle 💩

Hi Reader

What a week it's been 😊 I've been following a very interesting 5-day storytelling challenge! I love listening to and telling stories, hence my love for reading I guess 😅 I however never thought that storytelling could help me out in my business in the way Susan Payton shared. Such a fun and more ME way to connect with my audience, with YOU!

A question I get asked quite often is: "What brought you to become a Visionary Planning Coach?". Depending on who asks the answer could go two ways. One would be an awkward moment of silence and then lots of one-syllable words. Something in line with Gosh, Euh,... the other option would be: "That is a very long story to share, I'm sure you don't have time to listen to that!". Does any of the two options sound familiar to you? I sure do hope I'm not alone 😂

Happy to say I got over that now 👊🏻 This is the story we crafted together 👇🏼

"The moment I realized that "just winging it" wouldn't get me where I wanted to be, I changed my approach to running my business, it changed my life!
My business was doing fine, nothing more, nothing less, just doing fine. I always told myself that I wasn’t in for the money, I would let others go after that 6-figure business. What a lie I was telling myself 🫣 I am more ambitious than "just doing fine"!
Because just doing fine also meant staying miles away from reaching my goals and fulfilling my dreams. My biggest value in life is to live in more freedom. Doing what I want to do when I want to, walking the path of financial freedom, and working from anywhere in the world!
My initial feelings after I had my big aha moment were those of guilt, insecurity, and shame. Did I just waste these past years?
Here’s the thing. It would have been easy to throw in the towel but I didn’t. Instead, I went to the drawing board and created a step-by-step strategy. I got clear on my vision, created a plan, and celebrated my small wins!
A strategy that not only works for me but also for my coaching clients around the world! For those who find themselves in the messy middle and are ready to break through that glass ceiling and level up!"

A big win for me to be able to condense my story into just a couple of paragraphs 😂 One that I would love to celebrate with YOU by opening up four 1:1 coaching spots! Only for those who are ready to break through that glass ceiling and leave that messy middle behind! For the BRAVE and BOLD 💪🏼

View in browser Hi Reader, The Backyard Gossip is landing in your inbox a little earlier than usual. Tomorrow morning, we’ll be catching the first ferry at 06:15 to explore the Coastal Circle Route. Sunny weather is predicted ☀️ and yes… We’ll be discovering a couple of walks along the way (of course) 🌲👣 If you feel like travelling along from home, keep an eye on my Instagram stories, maybe even sparking some inspiration for your next adventure. Now, on to something I wanted to share with...

View in browser Hi Reader, Last Friday, the second Friday of January, is also known as Quitter’s Day. The day most people quietly let go of their New Year’s resolutions, yes, it's a thing 🙃 I wrote a full blog post about why this happens (you can read it here if you’re curious). But what really stood out to me this week wasn’t the statistics, it was the conversations. In several coaching sessions and in a few casual chats, the same theme kept popping up: 👉 we often forget why we started in...

View in browser Hi Reader, It feels good to sit down and write the very first Backyard Gossip of 2026. Our travels to Belgium were really special. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, especially when living between countries, it’s this: time together has to be quality time. We organize our visits so we can truly be present, and we love sharing experiences rather than rushing from place to place. So that’s exactly what we did. We shared moments with friends and family, went to a...
