I am off to the US on Thursday. I look forward to join the LA Meeting Michaella

Leadership Lessons from My Cat 🐱

We often look to people or books for leadership inspiration - but sometimes, the best lessons come from unexpected places. Like my cat.

She’s the ultimate leader:
- She follows her own needs first - never a people pleaser.
- She’s fine with confrontation, setting and maintaining clear boundaries.
- She rests when she needs to, prioritizing her energy.
- And yet, she’s affectionate and present… but always on her own terms.

Watching her, I’m reminded that leadership starts with yourself.
Before you can lead others effectively, you need to:
- Know what you need to thrive.
- Set boundaries and honor them.
- Take care of your energy and wellbeing.

Only when you’re grounded in your own priorities can you show up fully for others - without burning out or losing yourself.

Sometimes the best leaders are quiet, independent, and unapologetically intentional - just like a cat. 💛

Your Soul Needs a Reset, Not More Pressure” You’re not tired, you’re overwhelmed.

Not because you’re weak.
Not because you “should be doing more.”
But because you’ve been carrying everyone’s expectations while ignoring your own inner voice.

Some seasons don’t ask for hustle, strategy, or productivity.
They ask for a reset.

🔸 A moment to breathe.
🔸 A moment to release what’s heavy.
🔸 A moment to return to yourself without guilt.

Because here’s the truth:
When your inner world is cluttered, even the smallest step feels like a mountain. But when your soul is rested, clarity flows with ease.

So today, choose gentleness.
🔹 Choose slow.
🔹 Choose presence.
🔹 Choose the version of you that whispers, “I am allowed to pause.”

This isn’t you giving up.
This is you restoring the strength you’ve been pouring into everyone else.

Save this for your reset moment, for the day you need a soft reminder that your peace is not optional… It’s essential.

Today my oldest son turns nine - and I’m celebrating more than his birthday.

I’m celebrating the journey we’ve had together.
Because he has been one of my greatest teachers.

It’s through him that I discovered something essential about myself:
That I have a highly sensitive body system - and that my needs, rhythms, and capacities sometimes look different from those of others.

For a long time, I didn’t understand why certain environments felt draining, why I needed more recovery time, or why my system reacted so strongly to stress.
But parenting a highly sensitive child meant I had to learn to see him clearly…
And in that process, I finally learned to see myself.

He taught me that adapting isn’t a weakness - it’s wisdom.
That advocating for our needs is necessary, not selfish.
And that calm, connection, and grounded energy aren’t luxuries - they’re lifelines.

This personal journey shaped not only how I show up as a mother, but also how I rebuilt myself after burnout…
…and ultimately how I now guide women leaders to understand their own systems, their energy patterns, and the signals their bodies have been whispering (or shouting) for years.

Children are mirrors.
They arrive to show us what we need to see - and if we listen closely, they help us grow into fuller, truer versions of ourselves.

So today, I celebrate him.
I celebrate everything he is becoming.
And I celebrate the path we continue to walk - learning, unlearning, and growing together. 💛

Education

I used to secretly judge homeschooling parents… until life handed me the very lesson I never expected.

Homeschooling isn't what people think it is, now it's a real alternative to traditional school
