About growing up in Eastern Europe, getting rid of self doubt and the gift of a holistic life crisis. A conversation with Change Architect Mariya Koteva.
"I used to believe in a linear life. You start somewhere and go up the ladder and there is only one way to go there. And now I believe in circles. You close one circle and move on to the next one. Actually it's totally not linear at all. The more you understand that, the more the world opens up with endless possibilities. It's so exciting to just build your own unique puzzle. But you have to start believing in yourself and the uniqueness you bring to the world. Once you've built t...

"Ik werk op jaarbasis ongeveer acht tot twaalf weken en de rest van die tijd ben ik gewoon aan het zijn.""We zijn op een bepaalde manier geprogrammeerd met zoveel angsten die ons tegenhouden om de vele mogelijkheden van het leven te omarmen.""Het is vaak de illusie van veiligheid die ons vasthoudt in een systeem waar we eigenlijk liever uit willen.""Doordat ik nu zo dichtbij de natuur leef, ervaar ik enorm veel rust.

About leaving the golden (corporate) cage and saying YES to what you really want. A conversation with Julie Vandermeulen.
“My life was all working out for me and still I was really hurting. I wasn’t sure about anything. I lived a life that, from the outside, was great, but I was constantly doubting whether that’s what I wanted. It felt very meaningless. What am I actually doing with my life? And all these questions started popping up in my head but I was very good at pushing them down. But at some point I was so tired of pushing them down. So I decided to take some time off. I thought I was just overworked.”&nbs...
