Self Love Path

January, or what I call goal-setting season, is behind us.  Have you been setting goals and visions? Thinking: once I get the promotion, then I'll feel confident . Or once I leave this job, then I'll finally feel free and like myself . This type of thinking might be the thing keeping you stuck.  When you're constantly projecting your wholeness into the future, you lock yourself into...

Are you afraid of what will happen if you stop? If you stop fixing, planning, "to-doing" yourself through the day? The past weeks, I've been sitting with some old patterns of mine—patterns I've been dealing with my entire life.  And this is what I noticed: The wound that makes you hyper-independent is the same wound that makes you abandon yourself completely.   Both are respons...

The productivity epidemic isn't a personal failing — it's a feature, not a bug, of a system designed to extract value from your nervous system.  While everyone's debating work-life balance, they're missing the deeper truth: we're living in economic structures that are biologically incompatible with human thriving.  Your burnout isn't weakness—it's your body'...

Most of us love reaching our goals — whether it's celebrating that presentation at work, securing a promotion, or buying our dream home.  It's rewarding to complete something we've worked for. But many of us have also experienced the feeling of reaching our goals and then feeling completely empty. The thing we worked so hard for, believing it would give us happiness and peace, gave...

This week’s episode is about food and body image — a topic that comes up again and again with the high-achieving women I work with. So many high-achievers— myself included — have struggled with this.  Body image becomes another way you perform, and food becomes another thing to control. Y ou try to eat as healthy as possible to feel safe, to manage how you look. And then binge eating can show up a...

There's something I need to tell you about why rest still doesn't feel safe, even after all the self-development work you've done.  When you're pushing and performing, that's your inner masculine energy being frantic and lost. The solution isn't simply to relax. It isn't another productivity system or longer morning routine. The problem runs deeper than that.  To...

We're back! Season 2 of Self Love Path Podcast is here! ----- What if everything you've been taught about productivity is backwards?  What if the secret to getting more done, creating more impact and feeling more alive isn't about speeding up, but slowing down?  I know it might sound counterintuitive. We live in a culture that worships busyness. Where walking fast means you're...

In which areas of your life are you saying yes, when you really want to say no, because you are afraid of the consequences of a no? Maybe you take on an extra project at work, even if you know it will burden you?  Maybe someone asked for your time or energy, and you hear your mouth saying sure, no problem even if it actually is a problem? If someone asks for your opinion, do you say what you thin...

Summer is here and for most of us summer means vacation and taking a break from our normal routines. In the Nordics this week marks the celebration of midsummer – which is one of our biggest holidays. Summer is marketed as our prime time.  Everywhere you look it seems like people have sexy and exciting plans. Everyone’s tanned, everyone’s surrounded by friends, family, a good looking man and happy...

Do you feel pressured by all the self-care “to do’s” you feel you should do? Exercise. Walk at least 10,000 steps daily. Lift weights — but let’s also do fasted cardio. Stretching, mobility, yoga. Meditate. Write a gratitude journal. Catch the sunrise. Ground in the grass. All before you’ve even started your day. It’s easy — just get up 20 minutes earlier! That’s all it takes. Easy, they tell you....

This conversation is a special one because I’m speaking to a true master of coaching, mindset, and living up to one's potential: Tigran Unanjan.  Tigran is a wealth and mindset coach and has himself been mentored by none other than Bob Proctor, and you’ll hear that influence throughout this conversation. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time with Tigran, and when it comes to my mindset, dr...

What if self-love isn’t just a nice idea — but the most important shift you could make in your entire life?  Not the kind of self-love that’s about pampering or trying to feel good all the time, but the kind that changes the way you relate to yourself at the deepest level.  The kind that makes you stop running from who you are.  Because when self-love is missing, you don’t just feel bad — you star...

This week’s episode is a special one! It's is in Swedish because I’m interviewing my past client Michelle. Michelle worked with me last year, and in this conversation, she shares what it was like to let go of pressure and start living more from self-trust. If you’ve ever felt stuck, or like you’re living a life that looks good but doesn’t quite feel like you — her story might land.  Get in to...

This episode is about GOALS.  I’ve never been one of those people who gets super fired up about goals. For most of my life, setting goals just felt stressful.  Every time I set one, I felt pressure to know exactly how I was going to achieve it. And the second I committed to a goal, I also committed to overworking, to sacrificing everything else in my life just to get there. In this episode, I want...

Let me ask you something.  Is it easier to avoid an uncomfortable feeling, or to meet it head on and feel it? Most people would say avoid. And yeah — that makes sense. It feels safer in the moment. You stay in control. You don’t rock the boat. You keep the peace. But at what cost? I see it all the time — and I’ve lived it myself. You keep it together without even knowing you’re doing it. Your mind...

You say you want change — a new job, be more loving to your body, a deeper relationship, a different life. But when it’s time to take the leap, you find yourself stuck in the same old cycles: procrastinating, people-pleasing, overworking, bingeing, shutting down. In this episode, I break down what’s really behind self-sabotage — and why it’s not a flaw, but a form of self-protection.  You’ll learn...

In this episode, I'm sharing something that’s very real for me right now. Something I went through just last week. I found myself spinning in stress and overwhelm.  Not because I had too much to do — but because even the things I wanted to do, felt heavy. It was like I couldn’t move fast enough. Every task I started made me feel like I should be doing something else instead. Time felt slipper...

Have you ever missed out on social gatherings because of a wardrobe meltdown — feeling so bad about how you look, that you just canceled the whole thing and stayed at home?  I have. Other times I made it out the door, but I was so obsessed with how I looked that I couldn't be present. For more than a decade, losing weight was one of my main goals in life.  My happiness was more or less correl...

This episode is about perfectionism.  Perfectionism robs us from joy. It shows up looking like ambition, hard work, high standards. Society eats that shit up. You get praise, gold stars, promotions. But underneath it all, there’s fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of rejection. Fear of being unloved.  Perfectionism can show up anywhere.  In work, in your body, in your relationships, in how...

I used to wake up every day dreading what was ahead. Sundays were the worst—anxiety about Monday cast a heavy cloud over me. On the outside, my life looked great: a thriving career, global travels, and lots of friends. But on the inside? I felt empty, unloved, and lonely. In this episode of Self Love Path , I share my deeply personal story of how achievement became my survival strategy and how it...

Let's talk about stress! Are you one of those women who's always busy , always getting tasks done, and even planning every weekend and vacation with activities?  You’re not alone. In our western society, you're taught to normalize and even glorify being stressed and busy.  You might wear your busy schedule like a badge of honor, believing you need stress to be productive, to be impo...

Ever felt like every option forward feels impossible — and yet doing nothing feels just as bad? In this episode, I’m unpacking what it really means to feel stuck — and why it might not be a problem, but a powerful invitation.  I share the hidden reason we often stay stuck (spoiler: it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated), how black-and-white thinking traps us in “either/or” mode, and how to t...
