Social media stress? That's what brought us together at the Canva AI workshop hosted by Julie de Meyer as you can tell from the picture!

We explored:

🎯 2025 Instagram trends

🎨 Brand kits for that polished look

🌀 Seamless carousels + animated video posts

🤖 AI tools to speed up and level up our designs

We didn’t just learn, but we created our carousels on the spot too. Fast, fun, and tailored to our businesses. Julie kept us calm and curious, even when the tech got fancy. 😅

Key takeaway: With the right tools, social media gets way easier, and getting on top of your social media game becomes a reality.

I’m excited to launch something new for our mastermind community: a Book Club, starting this September! 🎉

Our very first session will be on 24th September, from 16:00 to 17:30, and we’re kicking things off with Atomic Habits by James Clear, the go-to book for building better habits (and finally ditching the ones that drive us nuts). Haven’t read it yet? No problem. Just come along, enjoy a relaxed apéro, and join the discussion.

The insightful Aimée DuBrule will guide the conversation, helping us explore the book’s ideas and how we can actually use them in our lives and businesses. This isn’t just about talking theory, it’s about finding practical, real-world takeaways and sharing what’s worked (or not!) for each of us.

Curious to learn more about Aimée, read her member profile article here.

When?
📅 24th September 2025
🕓 16:00 – 17:30
🍷 With apéro, obviously

Who’s it for?
It’s for you, the awesome community members: if you love a good book, great conversation, and being inspired by othe...

Don’t lose sight of how far you’ve come and above all, don't stand still.

Here’s the thing no one tells you:
If you only focus on what’s missing, you might give up, not because you’re failing, but because you think you are.

It’s dangerously easy to ignore your wins.

To obsess over what’s not working, what’s not done, what’s still not good enough and ultimately the money that is NOT coming in.

But if you don’t pause to see your progress, here’s what can happen:

You lose motivation when progress feels invisible.
Motivation thrives on feedback. If you can’t see what’s working, your brain registers effort without reward, which is demoralising and can lead to you wanting to quit. 

You miss the “compound interest” of consistency.
Just like savings, small efforts build up. But if you ignore your daily actions, you undervalue your long-term growth, and may abandon a process right before the tipping point. (Think: James Clear’s concept of delayed results from Atomic Habits.)

You overlook your...

Saboteurs aren’t villains... originally!
They’re just our defence mechanisms on overdrive. The inner voices that think they’re helping us and keeping us safe, but often end up hindering us instead. 😅

The workshop led by Helen von Dadelszen was insightful and fun:

✨ We laughed.
🤯 We had “aha” moments.
🗣️ We shared openly, same fears, different flavours.
🔍 We saw ourselves more clearly and were able to pinpoint how they show up.
🎯 And we played a cheeky game of cat and mouse with our saboteurs.

This workshop wasn’t about fixing anything, it was about awareness and leaning into who we are naturally.
Creating a safe space to understand how we self-sabotage, and how to shift into our wiser, calmer selves. 🧘‍♀️

Some takeaways?

Curious about your own saboteur squad? 🤔

Aimée DuBrule - "I help high-performing leaders navigate leaders through complex transitions to navigate their professional journey with clarity and purpose"

She is a part of the "Grow my WHY" MasterMind group and has been a member since November 2023. 

Aimée is also the author of the blog "mind stuff". 

She is an optimistic high achiever that fell prey to depression when her successful life imploded around her all at once.

In her articles she writes openly and rawly about picking up the pieces and painfully sorting through the aftermath.

Aimée helps high-performing leaders navigate mid-career challenges, find better work-life balance, and leaders through complex transitions to navigate the next chapter of their professional journey with more clarity and purpose.

She offers 1:1 and is developing a framework that combines mindfulness, positive psychology, and mental fitness to equip leaders with practical tools for resilience and insight during times of change.

Aimée literally...

July and August are our official "snooze" months. No in-person events, no formal gatherings. Just sun, space, and the sweet sound of not having to be anywhere.

The B-inspired Community takes a well-deserved breather during this time, and I hope you do too.

So often creativity happens in the "space in between". Growth doesn't always come from the hustle; sometimes it comes from hammocks, hikes, and half-finished books.

There are no in person events happening during this time, nor MasterMinds meetings. All memberships are put on pause and your 6-month period will resume in September.

But if you don’t want to go entirely off the radar, here are a few ideas in which to use the extra space:

- Revisit your “ideas I’ll do later” folder. Delete what is no longer relevant and fall in love with what you were not ready for at the time but now is perfect!

- Make a playful and useful “Start Here” guide for new clients/followers from the luxury of your sun lounger. 
- Batch-schedule content with a ...

Self-Confidence vs. Self-Esteem - Know the Difference. Own Your Power.

Is your confidence a show… or does it go deep?

Most of us use self-confidence and self-esteem like they’re the same thing. They’re not. And knowing the difference? That’s where things start to shift.

Join us for a fun, practical and slightly mind-bending session with Karin Casutt, she brings with her a wealth of HR experience, is a people strategist, and all-around human potential explorer, as we uncover what really shapes how you see yourself (and how to upgrade it).
Read more about Karin in her member profile article here.

This is about understanding the psychology behind confidence and esteem and building both in ways that actually stick.

You’ll discover:

✅ The difference between confidence and self-esteem 
✅ How to spot, and stop, the beliefs that quietly sabotage your growth
✅ A simple mindset shift to build self-worth that doesn’t crack under pressure
✅ How to feel more confident without having to “fake it t...

Well… here's the real story.

We just hosted our second Speed Networking event.

Yes, it was:

✨ Fun

⚡ Full of energy

🤝 A place where real connections were made

💬 And I got some lovely feedback

And still…

🙊 My communication in the run-up was a bit off.

🔎 I had hoped to hold it outside, the group was large, and indoors felt like a recipe for heat and noise overload.

🔎 Trying to be transparent, I told people to “layer up – we’re going outside come hell or high water.”

🔎 Turns out... hell came with rain and freezing temperatures. 🥶

🔎 The brave ones showed up ready for battle, but understandably, many opted out.

🙊 Inside, the space just didn’t work as well this time.

🔎 We’d used it before with no issues, but more people, different setup… it didn’t flow as well.

🔎 I had to shout. I gave myself a headache. By round three, I gave up and we pivoted to casual networking.

Was it a success❓

Yes. 100%. And I’d do it again.

Was it smooth❓

Nope. And that’s ok.

I...

 I do have a big goal, but it's a long term goal, there is no need for me to try to make it all happen overnight. I was overburdening my nervous system.

The key was to catch the way I was speaking to myself.
I used to be so harsh on myself, I would never ever speak that way to my friends or family. So why was I being so nasty to myself? 
Once I started catching my own tone, how I was talking myself down and bit by bit started reducing the automatism that had crept in to beat myself up, my life changed entirely. 

By being kinder to myself and managing my time and energy better:

✅ I’m calmer

✅ I build steadily

✅ I show up reliably

✅ And I actually feel good on the way

It's about the journey... isn't that how the saying goes?

Ambition isn’t the problem, it’s how we treat ourselves on the way there.

In a world that screams

😱 MORE

😱 FASTER

😱 BETTER

Guess what? Since I've started doing that, my business has been doing better too. 

I'm less fearful of making a "...

Did you know... there's no clear boundary between Earth and space?

I had no idea until I assisted Claude Nicollier's presentation. He is Switzerland's first astronaut that has been on 4 missions to space, working with the Hubble telescope.

But it’s true.
There’s no sharp line where the atmosphere ends and space begins. Scientists debate it — some say it’s the Kármán line at 100 km, others draw it lower, around 80 km.

This is what I'm hearing:
Space is more a gradient than a border.
Like so many things in life, there is no clear cut, definite line

No certainty. No guarantees.

Just trust, teamwork, and a love for what you do, strong enough to carry you through it all and lead you in the right direction

🛰️ The truth is:
There is no clean line between ready and not ready.
Between possible and impossible.
Between who you are and who you could become.

Just like space — life is not black and white.
It's all gradients, leaps, and floating forward even when you’re not sure which way is “up”.
