The Zin Is In!
Meet my new pet Samantha. She’s lovely. And supports me in so many ways. Spent a lot of time with her on vacation…but enough about me! How have you been, my dear? I hope you’ve had a lovely summer so far! I’m back after nearly a month in California and Oregon; It was a great mix […]
Making history at Lowlands!

In the Volkskrant today!
I’m really excited to share my thoughts on education, refugees, following your heart and making big (and sometimes scary) decisions in my Volkskrant profile today! You can read the full article here.
I don’t know what I’m doing, so I cannot fail. Neither can you.
I’m trying to avoid news of the world today. Trying hard. Trying hard and failing. As I type, my phone is next to me, sending me push notifications of horrible things happening and my phone wants me to know about it right away. So I’m digging deep, focussing on my keyboard, trying to Get Stuff […]
I can’t make people love each other, but I can give you free stuff.
It’s a mad, mad world. Mad as in crazy. Mad as in angry. I’m watching my country from a distance, and I am greatly concerned. About cops murdering innocent civilians. About civilians murdering cops. About Trump worrying about Muslims. About my Muslim friends worrying about their future. So. Much. Madness. All I want, truly want, […]
My tips and tricks on 3FM!
I had the honor of helping 3FM DJ Michiel Veenstra work on his first song EVER. He asked me for feedback and advice on singing in English when it’s not your first language. Here’s his vlog about our session! I’m so proud of the final result – he did a fantastic job! #happycoach
Independence Day (and my confession)!
It was the 4th of July, 1984. Chicago. I was with my oldest friend Lisa (who is still my oldest friend today, although she is somehow still 3 months younger than I am). We had just spent a wonderful evening having a picnic in the park, and then watched the fireworks when it got dark. I […]
Highlights from a great night with Sprout!
I was honored to be one of the speakers at the Sprout event – ’25 onder de 25′ – honoring the 25 best young entrepreneurs of the country. You can see the highlights in the cool aftermovie here. It was a great evening and I had so much fun signing books afterwards!
Wait. He said WHAT on TV?!?
Wow. I mean wow. I cannot believe what happened. BREXITGATE. I love England. I studied at Cambridge and Oxford when I was younger, and I have so many English, Scottish, and Irish friends. (No Welsh friends. Not yet. Maybe Gareth Bale will want to be my friend one day. Fingers crossed.) I’ve spent a lot of time […]
