I faced significant challenges very early in life. This led to self-destructive beliefs and a mindset that kept attracting challenging people and situations into my life.

I left school at 16 and emigrated to Germany at 19 with no money, a language barrier and almost no connections. A few years later I achieved one of my biggest dreams, a Master’s degree in a foreign country.

A big change for me was journaling. I started writing morning pages in 2007, as recommended by Julia Cameron in The Artist’s Way. From then on, nothing was the same.

I had always been self-reflected but it helped me to understand what limiting beliefs were running through my subconscious mind.

This feeling intensified after my father passed away in 2009 and motivated me to further commit to living my life with purpose.

In 2019, it became clear that I wanted to guide others in overcoming limiting beliefs and living a life that inspires them.

Apart from that:

I have a love-hate relationship with certain spiritual topics and trends. If they’re presented like a rulebook or the ultimate truth, I’m out.

I adore chasing schools of fish while snorkeling in the Mediterranean.

There’s not a single day I spend without music.

I enjoy creating, reading, learning, and writing for my life.

As an explanation of my name, as I’m often asked: My mother is French, and my father was Kurdish. I grew up in France.

I hope to die like this: Outdoors, with a good drink in hand, gazing at the starry sky or the sun. Or in the battle to conquer the Death Star. But, to make it clear: I’m Team Trekkie.
