Forget about January resolutions. You promise yourself a fresh start at the exact moment when your body is most tired, the days are shortest, and your motivation to change is at its lowest of the year. It's no wonder that most January resolutions don't survive February. The real turning point comes four months earlier. In my coaching practice, I therefore work with radiance as a natural point of reflection. In this article, I will show you the specific tools I use to do so –

It’s September 1st. Outside it smells of paper, morning mist and a little nervousness. Children with backpacks wander around the bus stops, parents try to look like they have everything under control. Social media meanwhile announces “new month, new start” as if it were some mandatory mantra. And yet there is something that doesn’t fit into those slogans. September is not a beginning. It is a threshold. And thresholds are not entirely comfortable. Maybe you’re sitting with a

You decide. You plan the next step. You tell yourself “I’m going for it” and you go. And yet something holds you back. You sleep poorly. You feel irritable. You feel guilty when you allow yourself to rest. This is not a failure of will. It is the body carrying tension from the past and needing time and care to process it. In this article I will explain why this happens and offer simple practices you can start using right away. Two systems in one person Two levels operate with

You Ran Out. But Forgot to Exhale. Picture a relay runner. He finishes his leg. Passes the baton. And keeps running straight into the start of the next leg, because he already knows where he's headed. Except in the middle of it, he forgot one thing: to exhale. That's what a lot of people do after leaving a job or a role. They have a clear plan for what's next. And that's exactly why they don't stop, not even for a moment. "I know where I'm going, so why slow down?" But that l

The liminal period, the time between "no longer" and "not yet", is one of the least comfortable phases of career and life. One chapter has ended. The next hasn't started yet. And most advice we hear during this phase points in one direction: find a job quickly, don't let it drag on, get a plan. But that advice sidesteps the most important thing actually happening during a transition. While we're working, our worth has a clear address. We can answer the question "who are you"

He sits across from me and looks at one spot on the table. “I actually don’t know what I want,” he says after a long pause. Not provocatively, not resigned, more like he is stating something about someone else. A fact you can somehow live with. For a moment I believe him. But I ask differently than he has been asking himself for months. “If you happened to know right now what would it be?” Silence. Then the first word. Then the second. Suddenly there is something in the room

The Liminal Period: How to Talk About Career Transition When You Don’t Have All the Answers The liminal period is challenging in itself. And even more challenging is explaining it to those around you – your partner, family, colleagues, friends. Especially when it’s not only your work that’s changing but you as a person. The way you talk about transition shapes how you experience it. 1) You don’t need a career plan. You just need honesty. When one professional chapter ends,

There are moments when life pauses for a breath. The old has already disappeared. The new has not yet appeared. And in between, a space opens - quiet, empty, sometimes surprisingly deep. In this space, relief blends with fear, fatigue with curiosity, emptiness with possibility. It isn’t weakness. It is a transition. A pause is not lost time. A pause is a transitional space where essential things begin to happen: the body regenerates after long-term stress the mind clears ol

It’s Sunday evening. Everything seems fine. You have time, quiet, nothing urgent. Yet that familiar tightening in your stomach appears again. Monday is coming. After years of working with clients, I’ve noticed how often this Sunday heaviness is the first sign that something is shifting. Sometimes it’s simple tiredness after a demanding week. Sometimes it’s something deeper that has been nudging you for months and you just haven’t wanted to hear it. If you want to understand w

Allow yourself for a moment to be alone with yourself… Sometimes we try so hard to be there for everyone else that we forget about ourselves. This short text is an invitation to pause, to take a small inner breath that can remind you what truly belongs to you. Maybe you’ve been feeling for some time that the life you’re living isn’t entirely yours. You try to be a great mother, partner, daughter, a devoted colleague… And what about you your own needs and wishes? Breathe in de
