Anneke van Giersbergen’s New Voice ;)

My soul sister Anneke has released a great video about her new band, VUUR. You might hear a familiar voice if you click here. I loved working on this and am constantly amazed by her career. Proud to call her my bestie! 🙂
Nostalgia, Magic, and Trusting Your Gut

I hope your week is off to a great start! Mine is full of good stuff – writing with Bart for the new Racoon album (which will take your breath away), speaking at a Linda. event, a photo shoot for a major magazine, recording some fun video lessons (you’ll find out about those in January) […]
Kill Those (Public Speaking) Nerves in 3 Simple Steps

Happy 5 December, darling! If you are celebrating Sinterklaas tonight or if you aren’t, I hope you have a lovely evening regardless. May people honor you with poems and gifts, tonight and every night. I’ve been working with some truly inspiring public speakers lately. These are people who are known for moving mountains with their […]
Eliminate these 6 common mistakes in 5 minutes flat. (4, if you read quickly.)

You can fool them with your mouth, but not with your hands. Say what?! Today I’d like to clear up 3 pairs of words that sound exactly the same, but are written differently. If you say them out loud, people will always assume that you’re using the right one (unless they think you are an […]
I’m the worst vlogger ever!

I was given the great opportunity to vlog for Telegraaf Vrouw – and I think I did a kind of horrible job! I forgot to look good, I held things upside down, I vlogged at 9 am after being up all night, I vlogged in the dark (where I look best, I think) etc etc. […]
Trying to get back in the saddle (when you hate the horse)

Hi darling! First off – a huge word of thanks. THANKS. Wait….that’s not big enough. THANKS. Ah, that’s better. So many of you reached out to me after the last newsletter, I spent hours writing everyone back – I hope I didn’t miss anyone! I won’t say that it’s been an easy week – not […]
What. A. Week…..

Oy. Vey. What a week. I’ve felt elated, let down, disappointed, loved, supported, hated, celebrated, and isolated. All this and so much more in just a few short days. It started when I was on DWDD talking about what it’s like to be the only one in my family voting for Hillary. Lots of reactions came in […]
Trump up the volume.

I was on DWDD on election night to talk about what it’s like being the only one in my family voting for Hillary – the rest are Trumpets. You can check the show here.
Election Stress

I’ve got it. And it’s contagious. I caught it from someone else. It’s Election Stress. The newest disease which hit millions recently. I guess it’s better than erection stress, but still. I find it hard to sleep – I keep waking up at 2 am (still on the debate schedule, it seems). I had a […]
Omroep Brabant TV

I had a great time talking to Arjo Kraak in his TV show KRAAK for Omroep Brabant. The other featured guests were Frank Baaijens, Rector Magnificus at the Technical University of Eindhoven, and Marc van Roosmalen, the famed biologist and ecologist, who has lived in the Amazon for 40 years and has discovered new plant […]
