I came for a friend who passed away in 2001. Or for the younger versions of myself.
⠀
Four days ago I started The Shift at .
⠀
I am not a beginner in this field.
⠀
Vipassana retreats. Systemic work. schema therapy. An MBA. Seventeen years of personal development. Coaching training. A book in progress about how you build a person.
⠀
I came with two names in my head. And a hunch that I knew which work I was here to do.
⠀
On day 1, Nacho pointed me elsewhere.
⠀
Not toward what I had prepared.
⠀
Toward a 22-year layer in a still-living relationship. The layer beneath all the work I had dared to do.
⠀
“A runner who doesn’t let go of the strongest one.”
⠀
What the three days after did was not gentle.
⠀
The MAR process moves through five steps.
⠀
Acceptance. Pain. Guilt. Forgiveness. Gratitude.
⠀
Not as technique. As direction.
⠀
The work is from Carlos Odriozola. Spanish psychologist. Developed it more than thirty years ago.
⠀
Movimiento hacia el Agradecido Recuerdo.
The movement toward the grateful memory.
⠀
On Saturday I burned a drawing I was proud of. Honey on top.
⠀
On Sunday I drew a new one.
⠀
Tittle: Rooted with Wings.
⠀
I did not find a reset. I found a tesseract.
⠀
The tesseract from Interstellar. A space outside linear time. Four days long. Multiple versions of myself and multiple layers of grief, present at once. On Sunday evening the space closed itself.
⠀
Because it had done its work.
⠀
What Gett Involved trainings does is execute this process with precision.
⠀
Not emotion as the goal. Emotion as the passage.
⠀
Thank you Nacho. Linda. Helen, Philip, Daphne. And my fellow travellers, in particular Simona.
⠀
This program is not for those looking for a sensitive fourdays experience.
⠀
It is for those who feel a layer in themselves that books, retreats and conversations have not reached.
⠀
For those people, Gett Involved trainings delivers on its promise.

Your team didn’t break on Monday.
⠀
It broke three months ago.
⠀
This weekend I watched Bloemencorso Bollenstreek, the Dutch flower parade.
⠀
Fanfare. Crowds. Floats covered in thousands of flowers.
⠀
Every float is months of work.
⠀
Businesses, volunteers, craftsmen.
⠀
Hands in barns no one watched.
⠀
The crowd claps for what’s visible.
⠀
Not for where it was made.
⠀
That goes for floats.
⠀
That goes for teams.
⠀
That goes for how we build ourselves.
⠀
We want fast results.
⠀
While the real work was done months earlier. Or wasn’t.
⠀
At ZenStorm I work with people ready to look at this.
⠀
In May I’m speaking at Digital Nomad Fest Gran Canaria.
⠀
In June I’m hosting my first webinar, in preparation with Simone Vincenzi of GTeX.
⠀
Comment JUNE for the date.

Vorig jaar had ik een microfoon in mijn hand. Dit jaar zat ik in de zaal.
Dat ene jaar heeft veel veranderd.
Games for Health Europe brengt samen wie zorg wil veranderen via de kracht van spel. Game developers. Zorgprofessionals. AI-pioniers. Mensen die niet wachten tot het systeem verandert maar het nieuwe systeem bouwen.
Wat me het meest raakte: iedereen in die zaal is al begonnen.
Van toeschouwer naar speler.
Van reporter naar auteur.
Van overleven naar bouwen.
Waar sta jij?

𝐀 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬. 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.

And then someone said it out loud:

Only 6% of your health is determined by healthcare.

90% of the budget goes there anyway.

I sat there thinking: this is exactly what happens in organizations too.

We fix the visible. We fund the symptom. We ignore the system underneath.

That’s not a healthcare problem. That’s a human problem.

And it starts long before the hospital. Long before the meeting room.

It starts in people.

Like you build a person, you build a team. Like you build a team, you build a company

That’s what my book is about.

I got tempted today and asked ChatGPT to create a caricature of me “based on everything it knows about me.”

This is what it made. 😄
And honestly… it’s a funny mirror.

Because the real story behind the scenes is simple:
I’m building Zenstorm.
A new operating system for work in an era where AI accelerates everything.

Curious question for you:
If AI turned your work into a caricature… what would it exaggerate?
And what would you want to reclaim as “the real you”?

What do you see?

We’re entering the post-tool era.

Tools are everywhere.
Speed is everywhere.
But clarity is rare.

I’m writing Zenstorm to change that.

It’s a practical playbook for people building what comes next:
teams, companies, communities, movements.

The core idea is simple:
Your team can’t out-execute its nervous system.
And your culture can’t outgrow its level of safety and coherence.

This book is for builders who want to ship, scale, and stay human.

Question for you:
What is AI accelerating in your world, and what is it revealing?

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼, 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.
Last year in Dubai, it accelerated.
This week in Cancún, it crystallised.

I didn’t “learn more.”
I became different.

I watched 2,200 people choose inner work over noise.
And I watched the science catch up in real time.

What I’m building now is for the founders, operators, and people building teams and cultures who feel it too:
AI is not the starting line.
𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀.

Because tools come and go.
But the human who uses them is the real operating system.

Over the next months, I’m bringing together everything I’ve lived, tested, and documented into a book and a 7-step framework (maybe 8).
Not for corporate theatre.
For future humans who want real change in how we work, lead, and build culture.

If you’re building in the age of AI and you feel “something deeper is required”…
You’re my people.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁?

Two years ago, a seed was planted. Last year in Dubai Future human event .events , it accelerated and it became clear that the inward comes first.

In a world accelerating through AI and new ways of working…
the inner work has to come first.
Otherwise we build faster but not wiser.

So I went in.
Toward healing. Toward truth. Toward myself.

This week was the crown: a week-long retreat with .
And honestly? I thought it wouldn’t change much
Vipassana has been in my system for years.

But this was different.
Not just an experience. evidence in the body.
My science-heart recognized it:
Data, studies, results, thousands of people changing.

2026 feels like a new phase: Embodiment.
Not another insight. Not another plan.
A new operating system. in my nervous system, my choices, my work.

This wasn’t the easy road.
It was the necessary one.

And now it becomes real in the world:
Storms become a compass.
Life force gets a container.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥.

Sometimes it’s a decision.
Sometimes it’s a storm.
Sometimes it’s literally falling on asphalt,
because life whispers:
“Not this way anymore.”

I left for a year to study in Australia during college;
a one-way leap into the unknown.
Not because I was brave,
but because I had to find myself
outside everything familiar.

I lost my father to a heart attack
when I was still learning how to live.
And years later,
my head hit the street while skating
a skull fracture, facial paralysis,
no smell, no taste.
I had to start over,
learning to use my brain again.
First little steps,
then bigger ones.
Another fracture.
Another rebirth.

Again and again,
life asked me to rebuild.
Not just my body.
My soul.
My mission.
My voice.

And each time,
I said yes.

This week, I sat with the women who knew me
before all of that.
Before the accident.
Before the burnouts.
Before the breakthroughs.
Before I chose to stop hiding.
Before I fully embraced the messiness of life.

We’ve all lived our own chapters:
Generational trauma.
Conditioning.
Personal wounds.
Single motherhood.
Divorce.
Starting over.
Doing everything they can
to give their children the best possible future
even if it means sacrificing themselves.

But what remains
is this quiet, wild knowing:
We’re still here.
We’re wiser.
We’re walking each other home.

We don’t see each other often.
But when we do, we check in.
We show up.
Wherever we are
on this rollercoaster called life.
Bonded for life.
Even when it’s messy.
Especially then.

Do you also have those incredible men or women
who check in with your soul
even just now and then?
I’m so grateful for these women.
