“Mum, you don’t need to film right now. Just keep it as a memory in your head.”

This is what my daughter told me a couple of days ago at the pool during our holiday in Spain.

For those of you who saw my post earlier this summer about limiting my daughter’s phone use, here’s the update.

Five weeks later…

The biggest lesson for both of us was clear: when the device is physically near you, you’ll reach for it much more easily. But if it’s in another room—you simply forget about it.

I remember reading about this in the book 'Reclaiming Conversation' a few years ago: even just having a phone on the table while you’re talking changes the quality of the conversation, even if you don’t touch it.

We agreed that my daughter could use her phone for 30 minutes a day. We stuck to it—with only two exceptions—and on longer car rides she was allowed to listen to music.

What I noticed in her:

She read 12 books.
She forgot about her phone and started noticing the world around her.
She had fewer headaches and slept better.
She was more focused and less irritable.

What I noticed in myself:

How dependent I’ve become on answering messages immediately.
How challenging it is to model the behaviour I want her to follow.
How addicted I’ve become to using my phone as a camera.

On the days I used my phone less, I noticed more of the beautiful nature around me and even had spontaneous small talks on my morning walks.

I’m actually prouder of my daughter than of myself—she handled this experiment with more understanding than I expected. Of course, there were fights over why she doesn’t have Snapchat like “all the other kids,” but overall, I think this gave her a taste of what childhood in the 90s felt like—less screen time, more real-life experiences.

I once read that “phones are the drug, and parents are the drug dealers.” Harsh, yes—but there’s some truth to it. Phones are addictive, and as parents, we hold the power to either hand them over freely or create boundaries.

Limiting my daughter’s phone use has been one of my biggest challenges as a mother this past year. I often feel alone in this battle, as I don’t know many other parents with the same rules. I also know there’s a risk: she might rebel and become a phone addict later. I can’t control the outcome.

But here’s the thing: parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about choosing your battles. And for now, this one is worth it.

Love,

Katarina

It’s time for a HELL YES life.

I’m still on holiday, and to be honest? I’m actually starting to look forward to getting back to work.

Not because I’m a workaholic.

But because I’ve created a working life that brings me so much joy—I truly enjoy my work as much as being off work.

It wasn’t always like this.

I used to feel lost.

And when I finally landed what I thought was my dream job—with the recognition, the fancy title, the approval I had been chasing—I burned out.

It became the turning point.

Fast forward to today… my life feels more fulfilling than ever.

This summer, after a morning walk on the beach, just as I was about to roll out my yoga mat, my parents stopped me:

“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦?”

They remembered the unhappy teenager, the restless 20-something, and the years I spent figuring out my career and what truly fulfilled me in my 30s… and now, they could feel the difference in me.

I paused—and then said what I knew to be true:

𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

I decided I would no longer be a victim.
I stopped blaming my parents or generational trauma.
I took full responsibility for my own joy—and created the circumstances I needed to create a meaningful life.

That decision shifted the entire trajectory of my life.

No settling for less.
No gut-wrenching compromises.
No regrets.

Just a big, unapologetic HELL YES to a life that feels as good as it looks.

Are you with me?

In just a few weeks, I’m hosting a free workshop to help you find your next direction—on your terms.

Drop a “HELL YES” in the comments below to be the first to get your invitation.

Love,

Katarina

Last year I came back from my summer holidays exhausted.

Too many plans. Too many people. And yes… too much “just quickly checking my emails.” I got home feeling like I needed another week off.

This year? Completely different.

I’m in the middle of my third week of holiday in Sweden and I actually feel rested. The difference? I was intentional about how I planned my time off—both for my own wellbeing and for the people I love.

Here’s what it looked like:

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭: Rest. Reconnect with my husband, who had been away for six weeks before our holiday. Read books. No plans, no pressure.

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮: Quality time with my parents. Normally, we’d spend 2–3 weeks under the same roof, but this year I knew it needed to be different—for everyone’s sake.

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯: House swap. We wanted to stay in Sweden but have our own space so we could invite friends. This is my “social week,” catching up with childhood friends and enjoying long, light evenings together.

What about you? What’s YOUR best tip for coming back from a holiday feeling truly rested?

Share it in the comments and inspire others!

Love,

Katarina

This summer I’m trying an experiment—and maybe you’ll want to try it too?

After one year with a smartphone, I started noticing the effects on my daughter, one after the other. Subtle at first, but undeniable.

As a mental health expert, I know how sensitive the early teenage years are—especially for girls, especially when it comes to self-esteem and body image.

In our home, we’ve set the boundary: social media can wait until 16. But even without it, the pull of the phone is constant. Group chats, games, the need to stay connected—it’s all there.

We invited my daughter’s friend to join us on holiday in Sweden. They live in different cities and don’t often get to spend time together, so this felt special. But I was nervous.

I pictured them side-by-side on the sofa, each glued to a screen. Together, but apart.

So, I made a bold decision.

After checking in with the other mother, I told them on day one:
“This summer, we’re doing childhood like it’s the 90s.”

Phones were collected. They could check messages for just 30 minutes a day. No social feeds. No background scrolling.

The result?

Board games without pausing to check notifications.
Beach tennis for over an hour—completely present.
Biking through the sunset.
Mini golf at night.
Talking for hours.

What I saw was something we’re all craving more of: true connection.

The kind that only happens when you’re not half-in, half-out. When you’re not reaching for a screen to fill every pause.

At the end of the trip, I asked how it felt.

They said they forgot they even had phones—and loved the feeling of being free from them.

I was on my phone less too (because, yes, I had to model it)—and I felt so much better.

The friend has gone home now, but we’re keeping the rule for the rest of the summer.

Already, I’m noticing the changes:

More wildlife spotted in the garden.
Fewer headaches.
A looser neck and a quieter mind.

One day, I hope my daughter will look back and see this summer as something really valuable.

Maybe you want to try a version of this experiment too?

Love,

Katarina

𝗢𝘂𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲—𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆.

Last weekend, I went on a short workation.

Not to escape. Not just to “treat myself.”

But because after six intense weeks of solo parenting, I knew I needed a reset 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the holiday began.

Between my daughter’s needs and a long to-do list, I’d fallen behind on work—and more importantly, on myself.

So I did something I often recommend to my clients:

I created space before my vacation, so I wouldn’t crash during it.

Because let’s be honest—how many of us push through until the very last minute, only to start our holiday with a migraine, a cold, or total exhaustion?

There’s even a term for it: 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

When you go from 100 to 0, your nervous system doesn’t just relax—it sometimes rebels. That’s why the body so often shuts down right when we’re finally supposed to rest.

Research suggests that people with high stress levels, perfectionist tendencies, and difficulty detaching from work are especially vulnerable. The theory is that when the body finally shifts out of stress mode, the suppressed immune system rebounds—and underlying issues surface.

So here’s what I did differently:

Took a weekend away to catch up, unwind, and breathe
Moved at my own pace—no alarm clocks, no pressure
Focused on prevention, not just recovery

It wasn’t a luxury—it was maintenance.

For my well-being, for my daughter, and for the holiday ahead.

Because I don’t want to arrive in holiday mode just to collapse.

If you’re feeling wired, worn out, or right on the edge, maybe you don’t need to wait for your next vacation to reset. Start with a pause—even a small one—and give your body and mind a chance to catch up.

Have you ever gotten sick just as vacation started?

Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear how you’re learning to rest before you crash.

Love,

Katarina

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀, 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀

A bit more than half of 2025 is behind us—and it’s the perfect time for a pause and reflection.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at my own half-year check-in —and what this year’s taught me so far:

1. Small inner shifts create big outer change

Last year, I was deep in personal development work—therapy, breathwork, training, business coaching. I could feel the transformation. I knew I was offering more value than ever before.

Still… it took me six months to raise my prices.

When I finally did? Everything changed.

Fewer clients. More depth.

And my best financial year ever.

2. My clients make decisions based on trust

More than ever, clients come through word-of-mouth, past clients returning, or continuing into a second or third program.

It’s clear: women do their research.

They want someone experienced—and trustworthy.

A friend from Brussels who visited Berlin texted me from a party:
“I’m sitting next to a woman who said, ‘If you’re looking for serious coaching—go to Katarina.’”

I smiled so big. My work is speaking for itself—even in a city of 3.5 million.

3. The blend of coaching and therapy is what women need now

They’re craving depth—but don’t want to be in therapy for years.

They want emotional support and practical strategy.

They value my dual qualification, and trust that I can hold space for emotional layers—even in a career-focused coaching journey.

4. When it’s the right match, clients stay for years

I’m still working with clients from 2019, 2021, 2023. The results I’ve witnessed are truly profound.

Their journeys began with trust during our first call—and that trust has grown over years of coaching.

If you’re reflecting on your own path—what’s shifted, what’s still stuck—you don’t have to figure it out alone. Coaching offers space, support, and clarity to move forward.

I’m taking bookings for 1:1 coaching starting in September.

If you’re ready for more clarity, confidence, and direction—let’s talk.

𝗜 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the battles we choose.
The ones that cost us sleep, energy—and sometimes, our sanity.

As a recovering drama queen, I used to think intensity = importance.
If something wasn’t a fight, it didn’t feel meaningful.

It took years of therapy and coaching to unlearn that mindset—and now I help my clients do the same. But here’s the truth:

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

Right now, I’m in one that hits close to home:
The social media battle—with my 13-year-old daughter.

The other day she said:
“𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝟯𝟭 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟯𝟮.”
Meaning she’s the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 one in class without Snapchat.

Even if that’s not entirely true, the feeling of being left out? That’s very real.

But we have a clear boundary in our house:
No social media before 16.

It’s not easy.
It’s not popular.
But it’s a hill I’m willing to stand on.

Because I want her to build confidence 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 first.
Even if she drew her future self on the red carpet surrounded by paparazzi (true story!) I still believe that Instagram and Snapchat would harm her self-worth at this age.

You don’t need to fight 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 battle.
But you do need to know which ones are worth your energy.

That’s exactly what I help my clients with:
Getting clear on their values
Protecting their boundaries
Redirecting their energy to what actually matters

So let me ask you:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆?

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻

Everything’s moving a little slower right now…
Less hustle, more stillness.
And maybe, just maybe—you’re starting to hear 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 again.

That little voice that’s been drowned out by deadlines and expectations?
It’s whispering things like:

“𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵?”
“𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩?”
“𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?”

Let’s be real—when you’re constantly busy, it’s so 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 to hear your truth.
You’re running on autopilot, ignoring the stomach aches and inner tension.

But summer? It slows things down.
It gives you space to question, reflect, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯.
And that’s where everything can start to shift.

I recently worked with a client who looked successful on paper, but inside? She felt completely trapped. She couldn’t tell if her next step was 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 or just another “should.”

The game changer wasn’t a huge leap.
It was the 𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦.

Once she started taking real breaks—not just scrolling or multitasking—her inner compass got louder. Clearer. Kinder.
No pressure. No confusion. Just:
“This is the next step.”

What if this season is your invitation to stop, breathe, and ask:

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?
𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?

You don’t have to figure it all out. But you can begin to listen.

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

My newsletter, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴, is where I share deep reflections and practical tools to help you stop people-pleasing, shift your mindset, and make aligned choices.

Read by over 1,500 women—some say it’s the only newsletter they always open.

Will coaching really work for me?

It’s a question I hear a lot from potential clients—and maybe you’ve asked it too.

When considering working with a coach, you might wonder:

Do I really need it? It feels like a luxury, not a necessity.
With so many uncertified coaches out there, how can I trust their expertise?
How can someone who doesn’t know me personally help with my specific challenges?

The women who choose to work with me are often outwardly successful but quietly questioning whether the path they’re on is truly right for them.

They’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing themselves, and sensing that something’s missing—even if they can’t quite name what.

What they appreciate is that I bring both coaching and psychotherapy into our work—so they can untangle the patterns keeping them stuck and take meaningful action (bye bye, years of talking therapy with no change!).

If you’re looking for a coach, here are five key questions to ask yourself:

✅ Is the coach genuinely interested in understanding YOU and your unique struggles?
✅ Do you feel comfortable and at ease in the coach’s presence?
✅ Can you trust this coach enough to open up about your challenges?
✅ Do you believe the coach has the expertise to help you achieve your goals?
✅ Does the coach provide testimonials with photos on their website?

Because ultimately, client results speak louder than credentials.

Jennifer’s story is a perfect example.

When we started working together, she felt lost in a role where she wasn’t being recognised.

Through our work together, she found her confidence, began speaking up for herself, and eventually got a raise and set new goals that felt exciting and meaningful.

Today, she’s moving through life and work with a sense of calm and clarity she didn’t think was possible.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝟯𝟯, 𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱.

I had left a successful—but draining—career and moved to be with the man I loved. I dreamed of becoming a mother, but I couldn’t get pregnant. I had just landed in a new city where I knew only one person.

My life didn’t look anything like I thought it “should” by that age.

I had internalised the belief that by your mid-30s, you should have it all figured out. But after years of therapy and personal growth, I’ve learned this:

Life is not linear.

Your worth is not defined by your job, your relationship status, or whether you have children.

Back then, my definition of success was shaped by the culture I grew up in. Now I know—life doesn’t always unfold on the timeline you expect. But that doesn’t mean it won’t work out in your favour. In fact, sometimes it turns out even better—just a bit later than planned.

This week, I’m turning 52. And here’s what success looks like to me today:

Spending my birthday at the spa with my husband and daughter
Taking 10 weeks of holiday a year
Jumping out of bed on Monday mornings, excited to start work
Looking forward to every client session
Having time when my daughter really needs me
Cherished weekend meet-ups with close friends

I feel deeply grateful—not just to have this life, but to be present in it.

If I could speak to my 33-year-old self, I would say:

Keep going.
It’s okay to slow down to find your way.
You are not behind.
Ask for support—you’re not meant to do this alone.
Find people who understand you.
Don’t look for answers in too many places.
Follow what makes you feel alive.

What I’ve learned is this:

One day, when we look back, we won’t remember the extra hours at the office, the promotions, or the scrolling.

We’ll remember the people we shared our time with.
The conversations that moved us.
The relationship we had—with others, and with ourselves.

So go out into the world.
Make space for real connection.
Choose presence.
Have more in-person conversations that touch your heart.

One day, you’ll thank yourself for it.
I know I do.

𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜’𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻…

About 15 years ago, I went through one of the hardest times in my life.

More than anything, I wanted to become a mother to a little girl. But something stood in the way—I couldn’t get pregnant.

Then one day, someone told me about hormone yoga, and I got hopeful. I became a very committed practitioner at a yoga studio in Berlin.

I had two teachers. With one of them, I had a beautiful connection. The other one triggered something in me I couldn’t quite explain.

One day after class with the second teacher, we had a short chat. The only thing I remember from our conversation was:

“𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.”

I walked out of class and couldn’t shake off that comment.

Was it a language barrier?

Had I misunderstood her?

I hoped it was a misunderstanding. But she had used the word 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘩 (feminine) and talked about how I needed to be different.

It hurt.

It was already hard enough. I didn’t need someone implying that something was wrong with me.

I kept doing yoga—but only with the other teacher, who introduced me to the power of visualisation for the first time.

Not long after, I got pregnant. Today, my daughter is 13.

Still, somewhere deep inside, I had held onto resentment toward that teacher. She had poked an old wound—one I carried from years of not feeling "feminine enough."

Last week, I had the best opportunity for growth.

As part of a day full of workshops, I had the chance to book a yoga session—with the same teacher from 15 years ago (this time, not hormone yoga).

I booked it.

I thought maybe I would tell her about my experience.

We met—and she remembered me. And the moment I saw her, I could feel it: the old resentment was gone.

There was nothing to say.

Instead, I smiled and told her about my daughter.

She looked genuinely happy for me.

I went to my mat, and I felt such deep gratitude—for myself, for letting go of that old story.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆. 𝗜𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

When we grow up with the belief that we’re "not enough," the world will hand us endless moments to reinforce that story.

Until we begin the inner work.

Until we stop pointing fingers at others, and start asking ourselves— 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹?
