  1. "I have tried everything, except slowing down". Health coaching beyond lab tests and protocols with Stefanie from Klaever Health"

    "I have tried everything, except slowing down". Health coaching beyond lab tests and protocols with Stefanie from Klaever Health"

    What if the missing piece in your health journey isn't one more protocol to follow — but finally claiming the right to slow down.  In this episode I sit down with Stefanie Klaver, founder of Klaever Health, a holistic health coach whose approach to healing is unlike anything I've come across before. Over more than a decade of working with clients — and through her own personal crisis of losing everything — Stefanie has developed a method built on one radical premise: you are not broken. We talk about what it actually means to heal by doing less, why your symptoms are not your enemy, and how the body, when you stop long enough to listen, already knows what it needs. Stefanie also walks us through her unique Attunement method — 15 minutes of silence at the start of every session — and shares some remarkable client stories that will make you look at your own body very differently. In this episode we cover: Why "you are not broken" is the most important thing Stefanie's clients need to hearThe yin-yang imbalance at the root of most chronic symptoms — and why we're collectively yin-deprivedHow doing all the right wellness things can itself become a form of avoidanceWhat Attunement is, how it works, and why 15 minutes of silence can change everythingThe woman whose debilitating period cramps disappeared after one honest conversation with her partnerFertility beyond conception — tapping into creative energy on the journeyWhy state matters more than form (yes, even with food)How to build trust with your body in just five minutes a dayMentioned in this episode: The Spiritual Child by Dr. Lisa Miller Connect with Stefanie: Instagram: @klaeverhealth Website: klaeverhealth.com

  2. Finding Love is Harder Than Ever — But More Possible Than You Think. Conversation With Relationship Coach Lennart Klipp

    Finding Love is Harder Than Ever — But More Possible Than You Think. Conversation With Relationship Coach Lennart Klipp

    What if the reason you haven't found the relationship you want has nothing to do with not being ready — and everything to do with the stories you've been told about what ready even means? In this episode of She Thrives, I sit down with Lennart Klipp — psychology-based life and relationship coach, based between Amsterdam and Los Angeles, and relationship expert on the Dutch version of Married At First Sight — for a conversation I've wanted to have on this show for a long time. We talk about love. Real love. Not the Instagram version. We get into why so many self-aware, successful women keep finding themselves in the same dynamics with different people. Why the high bar and the comfortable solitude can feel like independence but sometimes function as protection. Why the self-help industry's promise — work hard enough on yourself and you'll be free from pain — is not only unrealistic, but can quietly make you feel more broken than when you started. Lennart brings something rare to this conversation: the belief that your patterns aren't problems to fix. They are intelligent responses to real experiences. And that is a very different place to start. We also talk about the pendulum of self-love — why you are not meant to feel confident and open every day, and why for women, something as real as a hormonal shift can make the exact same situation feel completely different on a Tuesday than it did the week before. This one is for the woman who has done the work, read the books, knows herself reasonably well — and still wonders why love feels harder than it should. In this episode: Why busy, successful women struggle to prioritise connection — and what's really underneath thatThe "good enough" partner question — and why perfection is the wrong standardMasculine and feminine energy, polarity, and why none of it is as simple as we're being toldThe pendulum of self-love and why you will never permanently arriveWhat it actually takes to meet someone worth meeting — in a world of apps and full calendarsWhy your patterns aren't flaws — and what it looks like to gently update themConnect with Lennart Klipp:  Website: lennartklipp.com  Instagram: @lennartklipp.  pcoming retreat: details at lennartklipp.com

  4. Beyond Hormones: Finding Meaning in the Menopause Transition and the Power of Human Touch

    Beyond Hormones: Finding Meaning in the Menopause Transition and the Power of Human Touch

    I'm sitting down with Oda Meiberg — a doula, shiatsu practitioner, and women's health educator based in Amsterdam. Over the past 15 years, Oda has worked closely with women across all life phases, from birth to menopause, drawing on Eastern bodywork traditions and Western somatic approaches. She's also been navigating her own perimenopause journey, which brings a particular honesty and depth to everything she shares. In this conversation we talk about what it means to stop fighting your symptoms and start listening to them, why menopause is not a problem to fix but a phase that carries meaning, and how touch — specifically shiatsu — can support women in their 40s, 50s and beyond on a body, mind and spirit level. Oda also shares some simple self-care pressure points you can try at home.

  5. Practice Episode: You Were Never Meant to Control This — A Practice for Anxiety and Uncertainty

    Apr 30

    Practice Episode: You Were Never Meant to Control This — A Practice for Anxiety and Uncertainty

    There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together. The research. The planning. The optimising. The staying busy so you don't have to feel the thing underneath. This practice episode is for the woman living inside uncertainty. The one on the fertility journey, month after month. The one preparing for birth and the identity shift that comes with it. The one feeling the ground shift in perimenopause and not quite recognising herself yet. In this episode, Katia guides you through a short mindfulness practice specifically designed for moments of change and transition — when the future feels genuinely unknown and the urge to control everything is at its loudest. You are not failing at uncertainty. You are human inside it. What becomes possible when you stop gripping — and allow yourself to not know, just for a few minutes? That's what we explore today.

    Practice Episode: For the Woman Who Never Stops: 9 Breaths To Shift from ‘Stuck’ to ‘Options’

    It often happens to me (And I am fairly convinced many will relate) – I am waiting in line, or for an appointment, I am bored, and I am on my phone, 'brain-draining'. Minutes of my life are waisted. And then – I am the one who claims that I have no time to meditate? Even though I know about all those benefits of this practice? Reduced inflammation, better subjective state of wellbeing. And so much more.  This practice is the tool I started to use more. It takes 9 breaths to bring back the 'control' over what I am consuming and what is truly useful and wise right now.  Try it. Share it with your friend.
