Why this is as much about you as it is about me—and every woman our age

 

We don’t have to rewrite the past to heal it. We can flip the switch and see how we grew because of what happened. That’s where acceptance lives—where we can celebrate every brave step we’ve taken and practice forgiveness. Not to let anyone off the hook, but to free ourselves from resentment and the shoulda-woulda-couldas.

Our experiences become dots we can finally connect—insights and epiphanies that make the next chapter the best one yet.

 

You know this in your bones

 

Struggle becomes perseverance; “not-enoughness” becomes resourcefulness—the number one ingredient for creativity. This season of life is about honouring yourself and letting intuition set the tempo—trusting your way, deeply and unwaveringly.

From here we become steadier, less reactive. We respond rather than explode. We simplify, not as an aesthetic but as a revolution. The storms of perimenopause can become a rebirth; we come out with a quieter, truer identity. Things no longer need to be complex to be valuable. Simple is sacred. It’s clarity that cuts through chaos.

Life becomes spacious. More room for peace and joy, more breath, more presence. Slower to go faster. And the one thing that falls away, is the feeling of compromising.

I know the “freak” feeling.

 

For years I wore busyness like a badge—spinning ideas, sketching entire business plans I never intended to start, chasing outside validation. In the mud of early perimenopause—after losing my mother at forty-five—everything went cloudy. The future vanished, and with it the joy.

Life felt flat, black and white. I called it the muddy water stage, because no matter how hard I tried to get clarity, I couldn’t see. The only way it cleared was by becoming very still.

Stillness is where I found Human Design and the Gene Keys. Not as a new identity to perform, but as a lantern to light up my path. I learned to use my chart in life and business and embodied experimentation, lived insight, and rebellious clarity. It turned my freak into genius, and when you work with your genius, the energy flows. It taught me to accept how I’m built, honour my timing, and use my ambition to make a difference as my not star.

I’m a 3-line—I learn by touching life. I experiment, make a mess, and then I share my field notes so you don’t have to burn your hands on every stove I did. My work runs on the Freak→Genius current (the ideas that seem odd until they become obvious) —no to the shoulds, yes to sacred pacing. There is nothing to fix about you. There’s a rhythm to remember. I help entrepreneurial women design businesses that love them back—by anchoring their genius and timing into the real world.

Energy, I’ve learned, is like water: without boundaries it floods the meadow; with a riverbed it becomes power. My zone of genius is seeing things differently and naming what’s true with kindness. I was called “too much,” “too different,” even “too harsh.” German directness can do that. In coaching, it’s a gift—I can ask the question that reveals the dream you didn’t know you had.

 

How I got here you ask?

 

I was born on the land that should be Palestine, raised by a hippie mother, and lived in four countries before twelve. We eventually landed in Tübingen, Germany. Freedom and travel have been in my blood ever since, which is why I became—and stayed—a solopreneur at twenty-six. I worked with large, interdisciplinary teams at World Expos in China and Japan, and spent years in exhibition and temporary architecture—bridging design and build, deciding fast, solving practically. The perfect role for a multipassionate manifesting generator as you have to be jack of all trades to be good at this job. It was exciting, and it was exhausting. Perimenopause made it clear I couldn’t (and didn’t want to) live like that anymore. It was the success without fulfilment , that so many of us feel.

So I went back to essentials: freedom, truth, service. Human Design doesn’t tell you what to do; it shows you how to do you. Today, as a transformative business coach, I use your HD/GK chart as the foundation and pair it with simple tools—Vivid Vision, capacity-first planning, and my “Kitchens & Confidence” environment work—to turn insight into action. Whether your next chapter is service, product, or even an Airbnb, your energetic blueprint ties it all together so it feels cohesive and sustainable. Your Human Design chart will connect the dots for you, and ones you see it you can never unsee it.

I’ve burned out from spreading my energy too thin, compromising, people-pleasing and “keeping the peace”. Now I live a curated life with intention. If something doesn’t fit, I change it. Life is too precious for mediocrity. I'd rather cook myself than go to a bad restaurant, I travel more, I choose deliberately. On the other side of menopause I can say one thing, There is a before and after, and you get to choose how your future will look for you. The famous hill, from which it goes down after 50, it doesn't exist.

If you’re here, I imagine you want what I wanted: a business that loves you back. Offers that match your capacity. A calendar that breathes. Visibility without a costume. Decisions you can trust on low-energy days because they’re rooted in your design.

That’s the work. Activating your power. And it matters—because when women lead in their rhythm, families shift, teams soften, communities exhale. Together we can change the world, not by pushing harder, but by becoming authentic and building work that honours our truth.

If you need a formal line to lean on: I’m a Certified Business Coach (Evercoach by Mindvalley)  bringing Human Design and the Gene Keys to transform your experience of entrepreneurship during (peri)menopause into a portal to yourself, where succes becomes inevitable. If you need a human line: I’ve stood in the mud, and I know the way you feel.

I am ready to transform my experience
