Conscious Pregnancy Loss (Miscarriage)
Ever since I experienced my first pregnancy loss in summer 2017 (which was followed by a second one in early 2018), I have been on a mission to break the taboo around this very common event. It is my intention to show that it is possible to approach this – or any other uncomfortable life […]
Do you compensate with food?
Authorities are worried that due to Covid-19 alcoholism will become more of a problem. The same could be said for Eating Issues. Right now, addictions and compensatory behaviors are the only way many people can still escape from themselves, their emotions and their inner and/or outer reality at home. Fast eating and overeating are effective […]

Breast Cancer Awareness is not Prevention

What I learned from my miscarriages – Part 2
In July 2017, the ground was pulled under my feet when my embryo(s) got flushed down the toilet at 9.5 weeks of my first pregnancy. Apart from the excruciating physical suffering, it was a tremendous emotional shock, since it came completely out of the blue for me (us). Not even once had I considered the […]
What I learned from my miscarriage – Part 1
Let’s get pregnancy loss out of the dark. It’s only when I experienced it myself, that I realized how common it is. What a weird world where we are supposed to hide the joy of our pregnancy for 3 months only to then hide the pain if we do indeed lose it. I say let’s […]
The two main reasons people stay up later than they know is good for them
A good night’s sleep CRUCIAL for balanced hormones and metabolism in general. It’s at night that we recover and rebuild. In fact, every organ has its “time” and from 11pm to 3am it’s gallbladder and liver time. This iswhy you would ideally be in bed at 10pm, so you give those organs the chance to […]
