My blog

This blog is inspired partly by my personal experiences as a mother and partner - and partly by many years of experience counseling couples, families, teenagers and individuals. The topics deal with existential questions that most of us can recognize, regardless of faith or cultural background. I hope they will serve as a source of inspiration on your own journey through life.
