And beyond that, the warm and genuine responses I get from the women I coach… and even from people I just casually talk with about my work, really touch me. ❤️
I wasn’t sure I’d be received this way.

Most recently, someone with decades of experience in a therapeutic method I’ve been drawn to reached out to offer mentoring.
No sales pitch, no secret agenda – simply because they've followed me on facebook and read my blog, and see me as someone worth passing their wisdom on to.

Then my gynecologist (!!) asked me to bring her my business cards so she could share them with her patients.
I had been sooo nervous to even tell her what I do – but she said my work is really needed.

One of the very first people to respond to a career post of mine was a CEO in one of the most traditional and conservative professional circles. I never imagined she’d be the one to respond.

But the more I dare to be myself – honest, vulnerable, brave (sometimes scared) – the better the response.
And often it's coming from people I never would have imagined.

When I first started sharing openly about my work, I worried constantly about what everyone would think.
Old schoolmates, relatives, former clients – especially the very conservative ones. 🫣

So much energy goes into worrying about what others think, while most people are just busy thinking about themselves. 😜
And when someone does notice? Their response can be completely different from what we fear...
Natural talent! 🤩

I wrote about it after a week in Sweden with tantric empowerment & embodiment coaches. Freedom, uncertainty, and possibility – all at once.

A dominatrix, a fire goddess, and a sauna…👠🔥
Not a joke — just a true story from a retreat in Sweden that woke something up in me.

You are the one who heals – but healing deepens and becomes alive in relationship.
Ten years ago, I believed I needed someone else to heal me. Later, I thought I had to do it all on my own.
Now I know that both are true.
I shared my thoughts in a blog post. 💫

She doesn’t chase pleasure.
She becomes it.
Soft. Wild. Sacred.
Unapologetically open.
Not for anyone else.
For her own joy.
Her own body.
Her own becoming.

Ever feel like things are technically okay, but something still feels off?
I know. A lot isn’t okay in the world right now. But maybe you’ve got a roof over your head, food on the table – a life that “should” feel fine.
And still…

If we don’t love ourselves, we may mistake attachment for connection, validation for intimacy, or find ourselves in relationships that mirror our own self-doubt.

We've been taught to touch ourselves quickly, quietly, and with a bit of shame. But there’s a whole world waiting beyond that pattern.

Sivusto on englanninkielinen, mutta ajatuksena on jossain vaiheessa tehdä myös käännösversio suomeksi. Kunhan tässä jaksan ja ehdin 😊. Suorat käännökset suomenkielelle eivät tietenkään toimi, joten tekstit pitää melkolailla uudelleenkirjoittaa. Saapa nähdä, koska inspiraatio iskee...

This is still just the beginning, and I have a lot of work ahead. But it’s a big milestone for me, and definitely worth celebrating. 😊❤️🎉
Technically, it’s been a couple of months' work, but it took me years of studies and personal growth to get to this point – where I can officially call myself a (double certified) Love, S*x & Empowerment Coach.

I’m talking about my own website, which I just launched last week. 🎉
Anyone on Substack? I just created an account and published my first post! Exploring all these new platforms – well, new for me at least. Let’s connect if you’re out there! 😊❤️

How often do you dream of a different life, only to follow it with “Yes, but…”?
You don’t need a lottery win to create the life you desire. The first step is the hardest – but if you don’t start, you’ll never get there.
Yes, but…

Jos taloudessa asuu useampi ihminen, voi karenssin kiertää tilaajaa vaihtamalla. Ihan älytöntähän tää tietenkin on.

Itsekin uutena tätä sinitaivasta ihmettelen
Banning books, restricting #sexualrights, renaming places on the map, appointing billionaire friends to high government positions. No, I'm not talking about Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia, nor authoritarian regimes like Putin's Russia or Orban's Hungary. It's so sad. 🥲
