It’s okay not to have all the answers.

It’s ok to not know exactly what your doing.

It’s ok to not be 100% sure of the outcome.

No one does.

Embrace the process of figuring things out. that’s where true growth, healing and expansion happens.

New year, expanded you! But the simple truth is….with any kind of expansion come growing pains that will try to stop your journey and keep you smaller than you actually are

And if we play small, we lead and receive small

To play bigger, we need to support ourselves to expand our comfort zone and move through the temporary growing pains that come with growth

Would you rather live a life that represents who you truly are & what you truly desire?

Or a life full of ‘what if’s’?

EXPAND is my word for 2024. I will honor my soul’s desire to expand — and will do everything in my power to support my ‘human’ to integrate and move through the growing pains

I SET the goals my soul knows are meant for me — and I will SLOW DOWN but not SETTLE when the growing pains become heavy

It’s how we make our expansion inevitable — but without frying our nervous systems

If this resonates, perhaps use this lens to revisit your resolutions and make a plan for the growing pains that inevitably will arise

Bring in your tools, support, and circles

Create the internal + external conditions for you to keep moving towards your goals

So you can step into the life your SOUL is ready for, but your HUMAN needs some time and support to become accustomed to

Let’s make 2024 the year we expand in ways that feel nourishing, joyful and empowering

☀️ Comment EXPAND to receive a free copy of our Year Review + Planner to set your goals and intentions in a way that actually works 💛

Much love!

With 2024 on our doorstep, these questions support you in 2 things:

1 — know what to expand in 2024

2 — know what to leave behind in 2023

This is about clarity on who and how you were being the past year, and who you’re ready to rise into in the next

Save this to work though in your own time ✍️💛

These prompts are part of a workbook we’re publishing in Jan! Keep an eye out for an early bird discount 💫

☀️ Here's an insight that I wish would have hit me a long time ago

Many of us are taught that to be fulfilled, free, healthy or successful, we need to make sacrifices, to hustle and to push ourselves to do and be things that drain us

Truth is, the hustle way actually does work for many. It might have gotten you far too

But at what cost?

There’s a different approach to expanding your life + career or business without having to burn out

An approach that allows you to embody your most grounded + intentional Self now as you take aligned steps towards your dreams — with time to spend with the people + on the causes you love

This is the She Who Leads way

You become a conscious radiant leader as you free yourself from subconscious survival patterns that block you from taking aligned actions towards what you desire

You find freedom, abundance and joy in the NOW as you trust your inner guidance system to keep you on the right path for you

You give yourself the support to rise into your dream life as you consciously surround yourself with people who ignite your FIRE instead of your fear

You expand your impact as you courageously stand for your mission and desires — and allow that to have you stand out so your soul people can find you

Stepping onto the She Who Leads way is not ‘hard’ once you tap into these 3 pillars:

✨ Nervous System Regulation

✨ Befriending Inner Parts

✨ Inspiring Soul Community

These 3 pillars come together in the Inner Circle, my 6-mo women leadership group coaching program — and you’re invited!

Simply shoot me a message and I’ll share my calendar link to book an Intro Call (or find the link in my bio)

On our call, we get clear on your aligned steps towards your dreams — to see if the Circle can get you there

Book your call by Wednesday Oct 4th and you receive ONE FREE SOMATIC SESSION w me when you say YES 💗

Ready to create your leap — and make it feel so good? I can't wait to connect with you

Love!

☀️ Allow me to introduce you to some of the STUNNING leaders I’ve worked with over the past 4 years!

They are entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, not-for-profit leaders, coaches, healers, authors… all driven to fulfill their dreams and missions

Some joined 1:1 coaching journeys, others in circles, some joined both — all stole my heart 🥰

Love you all!!

To you thriving with ease!

Self-love is a skill not many of us are taught, yet it’s a crucial life skill. Not to mention it’s a key ingredient for turning your dreams and desires into reality without sacrificing yourself 🧡

Your level of self-love is equal to your level of integrity, authentic self-expression, aligned action taking and the belief that you get to receive whatever it is you desire without having to burn out for it

Signs of low self-love:

perfectionism
weak boundaries
negative self-talk
self-doubt
self-sabotaging behaviors
comparing yourself to others
lack of self-care
fear of failure
people pleasing
unworthiness
out of touch with your intuition

& not prioritizing to give yourself what you need and desire to feel nourished and energized — before stepping out into with the world

These subconscious patterns become roadblocks on the journey toward your dreams

How do you see yourself?
Do you even see yourself?
How are you treating your body, mind and soul?
How do you talk about your dreams and progress?

When you know you’re here to create a life you love, self-love isn’t just a nice to have. It’s the starting point

Remember, your self-love is so contagious and reminds all of us to give ourselves some love too

How will you show yourself you love yourself today? Inspire me 👇💛

It’s almost time… We’re 2 days away from opening the doors to the Sol Studio!! In a time when Ray and I just moved to San Francisco from Denver, after a 3 week road trip, when we’re trying to find our next home, and somehow squeezed in a 4 day trip to Switzerland to see my fam — I planned the launch of a new business venture… and that’s ok. Read on to why

I won’t undermine the work/time/energy that goes into launching something new — it IS work, but the work is more internal than external

My inner perfectionist joins the party

So does my inner imposter

And my body is tired

Still I feel so *good* and right on time and far from overwhelmed

Simply because I made *feeling good* my priority

I know the businesses I build or helped build aren’t successful because they have a shiny website, a smart content strategy or lead generation mechanism

I tried those things. They might help, but don’t lead to fulfillment or sustainable impact

My businesses have been successful because of the energy I bring to the table

The energy of being ME fully that attracts my soul people — often in ways I could’ve never thought up in advance

I know that to be able to share my gifts — and to attract the women and men who are ready for it — my only job is to make sure I receive what I need to feel centered in myself and connected to my mission every day

So guess what I’ve been doing the last few days?

It’s not working on Sol Studio…

Continues in part 2 on my next post 🤍

My favorite travel buddy — for life that is ♥️🌵🎯

(bonus he brought the best furry soul along 🥰)

3 insights from the Sedona vortex 🌵⛰🌞

1 • I desire the stars, but I don’t have to reach for them every day. That strategy just leaves me drained before I take one step. Instead I prioritize to reach for what feels energizing and easeful today - also if it feels unrelated to my dreams and goals. It’s then that I create inner space to take intuitive, aligned actions that lead to leaps, while feeling so centered along the way. You’re here to have a good time while making things happen. Never forget.

2 • Success is feeling so worthy + wealthy by choice — not by achieving or acquiring this or that. Success is freedom of following my intuitive nudges even when they don’t make sense. Success is freedom of time, space, choice. The structure I create for myself allows me to flow so I can act in resonance with my needs + desires

3 • My heart is still so full from hosting my first in person women’s circle since 2020 and it has me craving for more! It reminded me that heart-to-heart connection opens the door to truly becoming the powerful, aligned, impactful women we came here to be beyond our conditioning, inner bruises and fears.

I was reminded that even if we’re ‘strangers’, underneath we crave the same: to be seen, to be heard, to be held, to receive permission to want differently and desire more, to be celebrated for all we are, to feel encouraged to radiate our truth into the world. That’s the power or circles.

And a 4th tiny insight: sweater dresses are THE BEST!! So cozy. My traveling home 🏡

One more day in Sedona. Southern Cali next.

No idea what we’ll run into there but I have a feeling there’s more circles on the horizon 🫶🏼

Much love x

When I decided to focus on how lucky I am for all that was, is and will be, more luck started to come my way 🍀

Every day, I told myself…

How lucky am I to experience a love beyond my wildest dreams

To have access to clean water + clean food to nourish my body

To live in a home that I can make my own

To have access to nature

To do what I love daily, to live my purpose

To have more than one item of clothing, books, activities to choose from

How lucky am I for the *negative* experiences in my life

Things that happened when I was young

The disorders, depression, chronic dis-ease that followed

These experiences didn’t make me ‘stronger’

But they did show me a power I didn’t realize I had

The power to create my own luck

You might believe it’s easier for me than for you

You might believe happiness and inner peace are only for the lucky few

That living your dreams is for the lucky few

Let’s call this BS out once and for all

And claim our right to be part of the lucky ones

You don’t need to wait for luck to change the course of your life or to create a life you love

We ALL have the power to create our own luck

And you are beyond worthy to live and experience it

Are you claiming your luck?

What makes you feel lucky today?

The way you heal

The way you rise

The way you thrive

Is a journey of moving onwards and upwards, step by step, from the inside out

Feeling into what you need to feel whole, empowered, in your element with weet step

And then doing all you can to give it to yourself

And ground deeper into your truth

And radiate your authentic light

And having the impact you’re here to make without forcing it

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 is that it is one of the few modes where your nervous system is calm and therefore open to fully receive the goodness in life 🌞

Play makes us feel free, connected to our core self, like ‘we got this’ — not worrying about a thing

How can you weave more play into your days, your relationship, and your business?

What would happen if you make play a priority?

Only you can find out, but I’m sure you won’t regret it 🤸‍♀️

When the pandemic hit us in 2020, multiple women started asking to host my circles online

We all craved community more than ever — but I wasn’t sure if we‘d be able to recreate the same soul activating vibe we experienced in real life

So when we got on with about 15 women — some regulars, some who had never joined before because they lived far from NYC — we took it as an experiment

No one had ever joined a group like this online and while I could feel it was a bit uncomfortable for some in the beginning — we soon got into a flow and conversation exactly the same as offline

Energy doesn’t care about a screen

Energy will travel where you send it

And the vibe in our circles is just as nourishing and energizing as in real life

(although I’d LOVE to host one in one of these conversation pits 🤩)

The Soul Studio has multiple online circles coming up for soul-led women — send me a note to receive the invites 💌

If you’re a founder desiring to elevate your business from a place of intuition and ease, then the School of Intuitive Business might be for you. Message me to apply. We have a few spots open right now 🌞

The ‘more’ we crave is often not about having more money, opportunities or things… even when your mind likes to make you believe so

The ‘more’ we desire is often the experience of more DEPTH and aliveness in the now

We desire substance, soul expansion, excitement

More ease, freedom, joy, pleasure

We desire quality

Quality feels way better to the nervous system than quantity ever will

Quality means it aligns with YOU, and therefore calms and fulfills

Quality means you’ve opened up to receive deeply

Quantity gives a short-lived spike in joy — before we crash, often lower than before

Reaching for quantity keeps us in spirals of lack and scarcity

Quantity becomes overwhelming and confusing and in the end constricting and draining

Because quality can only be found in the now, find depth in the seeming most futile daily activities and weave in pleasure

Find the ‘more’ you desire, the quality, the depth, the pleasure, in the now — and let that be enough

One of my soul-led clients said ‘the purpose of washing the dishes is washing the dishes’ 🧼

Embody this and find gold 🫶🏼

To all the mamas who make the world go round!! 🤍 Here’s my mom and brother rocking the 90s. Mom and I doing what we do best which is pottering about and chatting away. My oma who at 60 was my best friend, and still is at 90

So much power to be found in our maternal blood line, and so much healing. These women showed me what it means to be courageous, to welcome different perspectives, to trust life and take action for the causes we care about. They nurtured so many more humans than their own children and still do — and I am so lucky to have them on speed dial 🥰

Happy Mother’s Day! 🤍

Your soul or higher self is always trying to nudge you onto your path of least resistance and most ease, joy, self-empowerment and abundance — and will KEEP nudging you until you listen 🕊

Your soul (you!) is and always has been your best guide towards the life + biz that nourishes and energizes you to your core and makes your ❤️ sing

Because creating a life you love is *feeling* work, not thinking work, and only YOU can feel whether something feels expansive or constrictive

🕊 Ready to come home to your truth?

There’s two spots opening up in The Receiving Year!

My highest-level, most luscious journey for the successful founder and leader desiring more ease, depth, presence, play, pleasure and inner peace in their daily life. This is a journey where you’ll be guided through deep nervous system calibration, mastering your energetics and opening your soul to fully receive the support, love, and abundance coming your way — so it can elevate you as intended

This journey includes an in-person luxury retreat where I get to SPOIL you, and you get to fully relax, soothe and receive 💦👑🫶🏼

There’s also spots open in the Soul Business Mastermind — our 6-months accelerator for conscious women biz owners desiring to create a sustainable + aligned business foundation that nourishes you financially + energetically now and years to come

If one of these (or both!) sparks your joy, send me a direct message to lean in!

You can say YES immediately, or we can hop on a 30 mins connection calls to gain clarity on your desires and dreams, and any obstacles you’ve been experiencing, and explore how these journeys can support you

DM me here .ouwerkerk

Much love!

The healing message of ‘you’re not alone’ — Brené Brown

The past weeks I had several Zoom calls with former clients to catch up, record testimonials & learn about their experience in our circles

The benefit they all mentioned of regularly meeting with of an intimate group of soul-minded humans, is the experience of being seen, heard and feeling free and empowered to take up space

They mention how calming and reassuring it is to realize they’re not the only one

We’re not weird, faulty, inadequate or behind — and realize we don’t need to feel ashamed of anything

We realize the shame we’ve been feeling, and that has kept us smaller than we actually are, is just another protection mechanism we can soothe and integrate — which happens naturally in circles

Shame feeds of loneliness

And the antidote is soul-to-soul connection ❤️‍🩹

It’s what makes circles and group coaching so powerful in claiming your story, needs, desires and greatness

Have you been part of a circle or mastermind? What was the main benefit for you?

Take a moment to feel into the parts of YOU that you have been avoiding because they intimidate you

The parts of yourself you so desire to be and show, but you doubt whether you can hold this version of you (yet)

The parts of yourself that are dormant because of hurtful past experiences

It’s not who you think you are that’s keeping you from creating and experiencing the life or biz you love

* It’s who you think you are NOT *

Rising into a higher version of yourself is uncomfortable. Your nervous system will , without being tended to, subconsciously keep you in the patterns that are familiar — even when they don’t serve you anymore

She’ll rebel and trigger fear induced thoughts — so you doubt your inner knowing

Thoughts you probably know so well:

But who am I to..?
I’m not ready
It’s too risky right now
Maybe I just don’t have it in me
I don’t have time/space/money
I should be grateful for what I have
Hopefully later

But too often, later becomes never

And that’s how we get trapped in a life that dims our true light

The key is tending to your nervous system as you rise — and healing the energies that are currently protecting you, while expanding yourself into the new YOU in a way the new feels familiar and safe to your body

Our circles and programs are built around giving you the expert guidance to heal, rise and thrive in resonance with your nervous system — so you can feel so GOOD as you gain your momentum

You’ll be guided to look at what isn’t easy, so you can reemerge into a life and business of beaming ease, authenticity and flow ✨

If you want to learn about upcoming programs, message me to schedule a free consultation to see how we can best support

Ready to make ‘one day’ today? 🤗

To you thriving!
