Do you have an author in you? And do you dare to find out? 

In this practical "From expert to Author" workshop, we'll explore how to turn the expert in you into an author and build authentic visibility that supports your ambition.

Who should attend?

This workshop is for experts, entrepreneurs and leaders who want to share their expertise with a wider group and author their first expert book.

We'll explore the path from the first ideas to the writing process and beyond, so you have clarity on what the authoring process looks like, what to expect and what to do to get started. 

What to expect?

• Answer the question: Is the author's path for you? Or should I take another path instead?
• Understand what to expect from the first idea to a published book.
• Have a plan for the inevitable obstacles, twists and turns. 
• Create the beginnings of your writing strategy. 

This is not a writing workshop. It’s a clarity workshop to help you decid...

Not just your cupboards. Your mind too.

You know that drawer, the one that refuses to close properly because it’s full of “might be useful someday” things? We’ve all got one. And funny enough, our heads can look exactly the same. Thoughts, worries, old projects, unfinished ideas, all stuffed in there together, taking up mental space and slowing us down.

Here’s the magic bit: you don’t need to overhaul your entire life to feel lighter. Start small. Clear a corner of your desk. Delete five old emails. Finally bin that pen that hasn’t worked since 2019.

Because when you declutter something physical, you send your brain a message: I’m taking charge.

That tiny action creates movement. And movement; ANY movement, builds momentum. Suddenly you find yourself making decisions more easily, feeling more energised, a bit more spacious inside.

Science backs it up too: clutter increases stress and mental fatigue, while even small acts of tidying or organising give a little hit of dopamine, your m...

Mandy, 28th of April 2026 

It's something many of us dream about, it would be great not to be alone in running my business. 

At the end of 2025, I asked Julie de Meyer and Pauliina Rasi to join me in building the B-inspired community.

One thing we have always done is stay transparent and shine a light on what it really means to be a small business owner in all its forms: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This new series follows the adventures of three very independent women, with very different personalities, taking on the challenge of creating a partnership. We’ll take turns sharing the experience from our own points of view.

What happens between the ideal and the reality?

We respect each other and believe we make a good team. Sounds like a great plan. You'll find my biggest learning at the bottom (if you're impatient!)

1. The organisational challenge

We were all used to working alone, with no one to answer to but ourselves.

Different thinking styles, different priorities, differe...

Ever wanted to consult… but got stuck in the admin nightmare? 😅

Here’s How to Find Clarity Without Forcing It

If you feel stuck in a loop of overthinking, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken:
you're just re-calibrating.

Overthinking is especially common among smart, thoughtful people who see many possibilities and want to make the right decision. In my work, I rarely see people who are truly indecisive. What I see instead are capable individuals with too many options and no space to think clearly.

When everything feels important, the mind keeps looping. Not because you can’t decide, but because you might not be clear on the priorities and the destination yet. 

Here are a few new ways to look at it:

1. Overthinking is a signal, not a weakness

Overthinking is often a sign that something matters to you. You’re weighing possibilities, considering outcomes, and trying to avoid mistakes.

The problem starts when all that thinking stays in your head, and all the ideas start to repeat themselves over and over. Instead of things besoming clearer...

Have you noticed how after speaking to some people you feel great and uplifted, and after speaking to others you come away drained and tired?

It's a classic, but one of my favourite sayings remains: 

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou


🌱 What feeling do you leave behind? 

It's not about being loud, polished, or extroverted.
It’s about showing up authentically.

Not forced positivity.
Not fake confidence.
Just real, open, human energy.

Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring challenges.
It means staying curious, constructive, and kind (to yourself included).

🧭 Check-in with yourself

Just notice your reactions; no judgement.

• How often do you say “yes, but"?
• When someone shares something, do you:
  - Ask a question to help them go deeper?
  - Shift to sharing your own experience?
• Do you instinctively point out the problem or do you lean toward possible solutions?
  
  ✨ Most import...

Happy new year 🤍

If I'm honest, I've struggled with the usual start of year enthusiasm and excitement this year in the light of the Crans-Montana accident that took, and changed the lives of so many people so close to us all in the Suisse Romande area. My heart goes out to all those affected directly, and indirectly.
Words feel hollow.  

One of the big shifts I have noticed, and that accompanies my new years wishes to you is: 
"May you have the luxury of spending your time where it matters the most"
With those you love, doing things that fulfil you.

Yes, we’re busy.
Yes, our to-do lists are endless.
Yes, there are goals, objectives, plans, deadlines… all of it.

But let’s not lose sight of what actually matters.

💛 Our loved ones
🔥 Our passions
🌱 Our health


None of these can be replaced.

Happy new year, let's make our actions and presence count.

If you've been in my world for a while, you will for sure know this about me:
I love simplicity and no fuss.

(🧐 You can take the Dutch out of the Netherlands, but you cannot take the love for clarity and no fuss out of them!)

Back to the updated "Light" membership option

It's simple, flexible, and honestly… it just feels right.

I kept hearing the same thing again and again:
“I want support, but I don’t want another heavy (tine/money) commitment.”
So we built exactly that.

This membership is for showing up as you are, getting real help, and becoming a part of our community, without it taking over your life.

🤍 What's included?

🧑‍💻 Weekly Tuesday Co-Working
A simple rhythm. You come, you focus, you move things forward.
Some weeks quietly. Some weeks together. Whatever works for you.
