“I live life with my heart controlling most things. I live life through love, trust, and optimism. When I feel passionate about something, I go for it. I live by my key desire every day: To feel inspired by myself and others. This sets a high bar for the way I live my life on a day to day basis. I do not always succeed. But I try my best.
I was born in Denmark and have lived and/or worked in several countries, including the U.S., Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Greece, Sweden, and others. I perceive myself as a global citizen, and wherever my soul is, my home is.
My adventurous and optimistic spirit has brought me a ton of fun, fun, fun times, but also difficult and challenging times. I have been through enough in life to not take life and sanity for granted.
I laugh a lot. I marvel a lot. And I wonder a whole big lot. I love being in inspiring company. And I love being alone. Both situations nurture my soul, and I couldn’t do without either one.
One of the favorite stories among my audience, and which probably says a lot about me, is when I tell them about how it took me only 6 weeks from having the idea of moving to Barcelona (from Copenhagen) to actually live there, where I knew no one and didn’t speak the language, less knew what to do there in the first place. I later learned that the universe had a divine plan for me with that adventure. -Turns out: that’s where I found some of my reasons to do the work I do today.
Always coming from an optimistic, soulful, spiritual and bright light place I make it a point to always strive to leave you inspired, insightful, optimistic and maybe even transformed with what I put out into the world and at every touch point we have with each other.
The Lipedema? Almost forgot. I have unknowingly had it since late teenage years but it worsened with speed from my late 30s. I found out about Lipedema, like most of us by chance and in my late 40s and I cried from validation and fear a full weekend upon finding out. I lost my optimism for a moment. I understood how much it had held me back in living my usually adventurous life the past 10 years or so. I understood it was a cronic disease - no cure and not many doctors in the world even acknowledging it although women become imobilized and lose life in their lives because of it.
And then I decided to take back the power and do something about it. I was not going to let Lipedema own me. I was going to be in charge.
And so, here we are! If I can't beat it, I decided, then I'll devote my work life to making it as easy as possible for us women to live with it, learn to minimize and manage it and learn how to feel beautiful, confident and free with it.
I can't wait to hopefully meet you in real life soon!
With love,
Tina
