  1. You need to keep up your mental fitness—especially in Phase 2–3.

    If the gym isn’t your thing, that’s fine.

    Walk. Journal. Breathe.
    Limit noise.

    Your mind needs training too.

  5. “The work of shifting from reactive to conscious leadership isn't something you do once. It's a practice you return to again and again. And it's worth it.”

    I love this post from Founders Who Thrive! They outline 10 shifts from conditioned, unhealthy reactions to conscious, healthy responses to life & the world around us.

    In my opinion, these shifts can help not just founders, but anyone, including #designers, developers, and other creative professionals to stay human in the face of life and work.

    Here are my highlights. For their full list, follow the link below 👇🏼.

    MY FAVORITE SHIFTS

    Shift 3: From "They triggered me" to "That reaction belongs to me - what's it showing me?"

    “When you blame others for your reactions, you stay stuck. The shift is owning your response. Not as self-criticism, but as information. What old wound just got activated? What boundary got crossed? Your reactions are messengers.”

    Shift 4: From "I can't say no; they'll be upset" to "A clear no protects both of us from resentment"

    “People-pleasing feels like kindness but it's often fear. Fear of conflict, of disappointing others, of not being liked. The shift is understanding that unclear boundaries damage relationships more than honest ones. Your resentment will leak out eventually.”

    As a compulsive people pleaser, this one is HUGE for me! I struggle with boundaries to this day, but shifts like this have helped me immensely along my healing journey.

    Shift 7: From "Emotions make me weak" to "Emotions give me data I can't access through logic alone"

    “Founders are taught to be rational, logical, data-driven. But your emotions are data. They tell you when something's misaligned, when a relationship isn't working, when you're compromising your values. The shift is learning to listen without being controlled by them.”

    Not only founders are taught to disregard or suppress #emotion. In Western society, I think we’re all taught this, especially boys and men. Reframing emotions as data empowers us to listen to the messages our intuition and body is telling us.

    MY FAVORITE ENABLERS

    “Work with Your Body, Not Just Your Mind

    These shifts aren't cognitive exercises. They're somatic retraining. Your body holds the patterns. Walking, stretching, shaking out tension after a hard conversation - these aren't luxuries. They're how you complete the stress cycle and reset your system.”

    “Practice the Pause

    Between stimulus and response, there's a space. That's where your power lives. Start with just one situation per day where you practice pausing before reacting. Three breaths. Notice what's happening in your body. Then respond.”

    THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

    Thank you, Founders Who Thrive for framing this conversation and these shifts in ways that (I imagine) resonate with the people who need them most.

    And thank you, Steven Ebbers for posting about FWT, and for the great work it looks like you’re doing there!

    ✌🏼 Lots of love!

  15. How to Relax Right Now • The Physiological Sigh

    The physiological sigh is a science-backed breathing technique that quickly lowers our heart rate and helps our nervous system to calm down. It’s a great way to come back to balance when we feel #stress or #anxiety. And doing it regularly helps to prevent #burnout.

    Thanks for taking care of yourself! You’re definitely worth it 🙏🏼

  29. Five days, 120km, and two waterfalls later, my first rewilding retreat of 2026 is done! 🙌🏼

    Despite catching a flu on day 1, I still got to spend most of my time outdoors and away from screens. ✈️ mode…

    Lots of journaling, adventuring, meditation, and stepwork happened. There was plenty of self-care and co-care, too.

    I’m grateful for my partner Kate and the lovely folks at Simpasert guest house for taking care of me. And I’m grateful for you being here with me on this healing journey.

  32. Rewilding is great for self-care. Anyone can adapt it to their life and nurture their capacity for creativity, empathy, and presence.

    So I’m doing a #rewilding retreat to come home to my true, wild self.

    Here’s my plan for the next five days:

    PRESENCE
    Rewilding for me is essentially about three profound words: be here now. So the idea is to strip away anything that keeps me from fully experiencing the present moment.

    MINDFULNESS
    I’m going to meditate twice per day. Once on the morning, once in the evening. This is the recommended way to practice Vipassana meditation.

    CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION
    My partner and I also do some exercises around conscious relating. This includes some tantric practices & nonviolent communication. And we’re also working on practices like owning our projections & holding space.

    DEEP INTROSPECTION
    Journaling and stepwork are a big part of how I rewild. These practices help me get stuff out of my subconscious mind and onto some paper, so I can work with it.

    DIGITAL DETOX
    I’m going into airplane mode for the next five days. No internet, only offline maps for navigation.

    PLAY
    It’s adventure time! I plan to swim in waterfalls, hike up mountains, watch fish swim, and stumble upon some of nature’s hidden gems.

    RESILIENCE
    I’m having some trouble with impulse control lately. So one big theme of this rewilding retreat is sitting with discomfort. I’ll be strict with my intermittent fasting and stay away from any intoxicants. Another theme is healthy sleep – at least seven hours per night.

    YOUR TURN
    How would you like to bring some wilderness into your life? Follow the link below for some tips!

    And message me if you could use some support. I’m here to help (after 7 Jan, of course 😉).

    🙏🏼 Thank you for taking care of yourself!

  37. First Aid for stress or anxiety: 🌬 breathe consciously...

    Breathing is one of those systems that works both unconsciously and consciously. So it's a great bridge between us and our nervous system.

    Level 1: Observe your breath.

    Just tune in to your breath. No need to change, judge, or label anything. Closing your eyes can help, but it's not necessary.

    Level 2: Lengthen your exhale.

    Any time our exhale is longer than our inhale, we activate the parasympathetic branch of our nervous system. This one's in charge of our 'rest & digest' mode, so our heart rate and blood pressure go down.

    Level 3: The physiological sigh

    This has the same effect as level 2 but works much faster. Inhale through your nose as deeply as you can. Then inhale a little more. Exhale through your mouth as slowly as possible, ideally with an audible sigh or hum.

    These techniques help us relax and strengthen our vagal tone: the connection between our brain and our body. And the more often we do them, the mosr cumulative effect we get.

    Luckily, there's a simple way to make this a sustainable habit. Curious? Just click the link and check out the slides from my talk on this at MOME Open earlier this month.

    Thank you for being here! And thank you for taking care of yourself. 🙏🏼

    And thank you Fanni, Máté, and Froukje for inviting me to give this talk all the way in Budapest! And thank you Jens for that lovely photo of me ☺️

    We're doing great, love 🙏🏼

  38. First Aid for stress or anxiety: 🌬 breathe consciously...

    Breathing is one of those systems that works both unconsciously and consciously. So it's a great bridge between us and our nervous system.

    Level 1: Observe your breath.

    Just tune in to your breath. No need to change, judge, or label anything. Closing your eyes can help, but it's not necessary.

    Level 2: Lengthen your exhale.

    Any time our exhale is longer than our inhale, we activate the parasympathetic branch of our nervous system. This one's in charge of our 'rest & digest' mode, so our heart rate and blood pressure go down.
