Rooted Lifestyle (2025)

I’m so thrilled to share something I’ve been quietly brewing behind the scenes.

I’ve been looking for an effortless way to offer you more free content here on IG - and I think I’ve found it.

✨ Introducing Monday Medicine — a weekly 15-minute IG Live at 12pm Lisbon time.

Each week, I’ll guide you through meditation, breathwork, dharma reflections, or gentle somatic movement to help you ground, reset, and reconnect.

This soul-nourishing ritual might just become your new favorite way to welcome in a grounded, successful week.

A sacred pause to consciously pivot your energy for the week ahead. No more Monday blues.

Join live, or revisit the replays on my profile whenever you need your Monday Medicine.

Be there. I’ll see you Monday.

I see you. Yes, YOU, over there. I know you’ve been following me for a while. And I sense that little nudge you’ve been feeling for a while, to just reach out to me and talk about working together.

You might not yet know for sure what it is you’re looking for…

You might not yet know for sure in which way you’d like to work with me…

You might feel scared of what this work might bring (this is so normal! If you didn’t feel some fear, you wouldn’t need to do this work)…

So there’s a lot of uncertainty and not knowing. But that’s a perfect place to start. Let’s connect and we can talk through your ‘nudge’, life’s challenges you’re facing right now and the different ways I could potentially help you.

I can’t wait to hear from you 💫❤️

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend from back home about how I’m feeling at the moment, life, my illness etc…

And I said to her that I’m not very happy and satisfied with my life right now. And I haven’t been for the past 5 years if I’m truly honest.

Because the depth of my heart isn’t able to express itself fully, and to enjoy life fully, due to the physical limitations of my chronic illness.

I used to be a social butterfly: always out meeting people, dinners and drinks, dancing, traveling, going to events, hosting and teaching through my work, networking…I was in the middle of all things happening. I was out there. I felt alive and inspired. This is my natural state. And I loved it. It’s where I thrive.

I do love and need my quiet days, slow mornings, time alone, structure, routine and early bed nights as well. But in order for that introversion to really nourish me, it needs to be balanced out with fun, lots of laughing, spontaneous adventures, social connection, dancing, joy, extroversion.

And this part of my life hasn’t been happening for a long time.

And I feel that. I feel in every cell of my body that something is missing.

So, I was ‘complaining’ about that a bit to my friend, and then she asked “but Myrthe, when is it enough? When are you just going to be ok with life?”

And I realized in that moment that she wouldn’t get it. She’s living a different life, and doesn’t understand my craving for all things new, different, travel, adventure and always wanting to grow.

And that’s ok. This is what separates me from other people who chose to stay within the system.

I know in my heart what I want. And I cannot ‘un-want’ this.

And no, it’s not ‘too much’. It’s who I am. I don’t want to be ‘ok’ with my life. I want to freakin’ LOVE my life and live it FULLY.

It’s my soul’s calling. And what’s meant for me, will be for me. Maybe not now, because I’m working through a lot. But some day…

If you’re like me, not wanting to settle for ‘ok’, I’d love to hear which part of your life you are not satisfied with? Where are you not fulfilled? Send me a DM with the story and I will 100% send you a reply!

I’ve got so many people in my community who’ve been following me for months, or even years, but they never reach out about working with me.

Of course, some people follow me for different reasons, but many people actually dó feel the nudge to take that leap and step into the space of transformation. They’re just not acting on it.

Why? Because they either don’t recognize the nudge for what it is: intuition and guidance.

Or they are driven by fear.

Yet both are exactly the reason why they should work with me.

One of the key things I work on with my clients is to reconnect with their bodies - and hence their gut feeling and intuition - so they can come back home to their true self, get clear direction on what they want in life and build the courage to go after it.

If you’ve been feeling ‘the nudge’, don’t ignore it. You’re suppressing a part of yourself that wants to be seen and heard. Sooner or later icome out anyways, but life’s too short to waste it on waiting out of fear.

I’d love to invite you to follow that nudge, to trust it and to be open and curious what it could bring if you did 💫

And you don’t have to make a huge jump yet. You can start small. That’s why there are 2 ways to work with me that require a low investment in both time and money from your side, so you can test the waters and feel what this work could do for you.

💫 1 - The Clarity Catalyst VIP Day: a full day with full attention from me to get you from Disconnection to Direction. Special offer only available until May 7th and just 3 spots available!

💫 2 - Nourish Your Soul Retreat 19-23 November 2025 at . Early bird access now open ánd you receive a free 1:1 coaching session with me on retreat if you book before May 7th!

Leave me a 1 or a 2 in the comments and I’ll message you with all the info!

After 8 years of entrepreneurship, I still struggle sometimes with not working within the 9-5 mentality.

For years, it was drilled into me that the longer we work, the better. The more hours you make, the cooler you are. It was a competition. It was quite toxic, looking back now.

That high pressure environment where you would be looked at with judgment the moment you decided to go home earlier or arrived a bit later in the office. And the opposite would happen too: being looked at with admiration if you would go back into the office ‘to finish something’ after TGIF drinks. Like ‘wow, the commitment’. Crazy. I get that now.

There is nothing wrong with ambition and working hard. I value both deeply. It’s part of my identity. But I did realize after almost 7 years in the corporate world that I didn’t resonate anymore with the way that system operated. It didn’t align anymore with who I am and how I wanted to live.

I love to work hard, but from a place of inspiration, not pressure. And that’s the biggest shift I’ve made.

But still, all those years later, I find it difficult sometimes to allow myself to go to the beach on a random Tuesday afternoon, because the sun is out. Or start working only at noon because I was tired and my body needed a slow morning. The imprint is real and deep! Work in progress 😉

Yet I do know now that there are better ways to work hard.

If you’ve also been feeling that you’re not fully aligned anymore in your career, or anywhere else in your life…and you’d like to explore what else is out there…then I’d love to dive deep into all this with you in The Clarity Catalyst.

A unique VIP Day in which you will be guided from Disconnection to Direction. Uncover where your life is out of alignment, reconnect with your body, heart, and dreams, and transform this newfound clarity into inspired action towards the life that’s meant for you.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the depth of my work without a long-term commitment. For a limited time, I’m opening the door for a single, powerful VIP experience.

If you’ve been feeling the call, now is the perfect time to step in 💫💫💫

I celebrated another leap around the sun a few days ago.

Although ‘celebrate’ isn’t really the right word. My birthday wasn’t much to celebrate this year.

Although the sun shone, I ate delicious cake, had a short walk on the beach and my parents had gifts and balloons for me, it wasn’t a festive day.

My birthday always somewhat coincides with Chinese New Year, and with us moving into the year of the Snake, this coming year is all about shedding and letting go.

But if I’m honest, I’ve been in Snake-mode for the past 4 years.

I’ve had to shed so many layers of my life.

I’ve had to let go of so much, because of my body that just kept deteriorating more and more. I got sicker, not better this past year.

I let go of work, clients, opportunities and projects. And thereby also of chances to fulfill my purpose ánd of money.

I let go of people, because it turns out not many people understand what it’s like to have a chronic illness or simply don’t know how to hold space for it.

I let go of most of my social life and things that bring me joy and make me feel alive, like festivals, dinners with friends, events and holidays.

I let go of (a part of) my independence and I had to rely so much more on other people.

I let go of exercising, because besides a little bit of gentle yoga and some walking I couldn’t do much.

I let go of my ability to say ‘yes’ to life and go with the flow of all the amazing things that life used to throw at me. And instead, 95% of former ‘yes-ses’ were replaced by ‘no’s’.

I let go of 2 months of my life (the first months of 2025) to come to Cyprus and spend all my time and energy in a private clinic to heal my body.

I let go of €25000 (yes, really) that any other person could have spend on travel, a new car, experiences or a mortgage down payment, and instead spend it on my health.

So, I apologize to the Snake, but I am DONE shedding. I’ve let go of enough over the past years. No more shedding.

I’m coming back home to Lisbon early March, and even though I have a long way of recovery to go, I will go upwards and onwards from there to a new, different, better version of myself.

Who’s with me?!

Throwback to an amazing time on an island somewhere in Asia, when I was at my healthiest, fittest and happiest ever ❤️💫

Compared to right now, today, on my way to another island, a little closer to home, to heal my body after 4 years of Long Covid - feeling my worst ever both physically and mentally.

Contemplating how much of my journey there I’m going to share on this platform…feeling the call to talk less about my work and more about my own experience for the next month…

Leave me a ❤️ in the comments if you’d like to see regular updates of my healing journey in Cyprus. And if not, you might want to unfollow me for a while 🙈

Much love 💕

Solo Christmas recap 🎄💫❤️

Christmas looked a little different this year. More about that another time.

But I filled my days with Christmas lights, good food, cooking and baking and lots of rest, reading and bad Christmas movies.

For years, after I ended my 10-year long relationship, I went on a quest to become THE MOST independent woman you can find.

I moved abroad on my own. Set up a new life in Singapore (and then later in Bali and Lisbon).

I started my own business, run allll byyy myyyselfff (are you hearing Celine Dion?! Lol).

I never asked for help, because I could do it all alone.

And I could. I’ve proved that much by now.

And then I got ill.

Before this, I could always rely on myself. But once my body and brain stopped operating normally, suddenly I couldn’t rely on myself anymore.

This has honestly been one of the hardest things about being chronically ill.

I can’t trust my body.

I never know when it’s going to show up for me and support me in my Miss Independent era, or when it will disappoint me.

And that did so much to my sense of self, my independence and my self confidence.

💫 I had to learn to ask for help
💫 I had to learn how to receive help
💫 I had to learn to take care of myself in a way I never had to do before
💫 I had to learn to soften
💫 I had to learn to do everything slower
💫 I had to learn to stop the never-ending achievement cycle
💫 I had to learn to expect S O M U C H L E S S of myself and what I could do in my days, in my life

And it was hard. It’s still freakin’ hard. I’m still learning. But, I’ve made progress.

And I realized that I don’t ever want to go back to that masculine way of living.

I want my life to be slower. Softer. Spacious.

And yes, sometimes (for example when I strategize for my business) it’s great to tap into that masculine, go-go-go energy.

But not as my standard.

I have proven that I cán do everything by myself, if I choose to. I am capable of anything I set my mind to. Really. I’m strong like that. But I don’t want to be the strong one always anymore.

I want to be independent, but also open to receive and feel supported. And the only way to do that is to stop the cycle of doing.

Want to come to Portugal to slow down and soften with me?

Join my next Nourish Your Soul Retreat in Portugal, 28th May - 1st June 2025.

I’m in my late 30s, without a husband (or even just a cute boyfriend lol), kids or a self-owned home.

But there are a few things that I dó have, and that society doesn’t acknowledge me for as being ‘successful’. I’m not seen or celebrated for most of these things. Just like many others (especially women).

We make different decisions. We choose to live life in more unconventional ways. And then the system doesn’t see the ‘success’ that comes with that.

Did I think my life would look differently by age 36? Yes. I thought I’d have a partner by now, maybe a kid or 2 and a more stable income.

Am I upset about not having these things? No. Sometimes for a second, but I don’t want these things anymore in the way I used to want them.

I’m not upset because I got so much more from life than my 18 year old self had ever expected. And watch me, I’m far from done.

Are you ready to jump out of society’s box and grow your life and evolve yourself in ways that you never even thought possible?

Then come join me and a bunch of other brave women on my next Nourish Your Soul Retreat.

28th May - 1st June, 2025 - Portugal.

And if you book before Christmas Day, you’ll receive a FREE 1:1 coaching session with me (normal price EUR250)!!!
