Life Lessons in a Helpx Kitchen

On Boundaries, Self-Sovereignty, and Treating Life Like a Real Job Boundaries are rarely challenged with a roar; they are usually tested with a subtle nudge. One morning at breakfast, the husband at my Helpx address commented on the small sounds I make while working in presence. The wife joined in, suggesting that people are often unaware of their habits when alone. It was a familiar dynamic—subtle, almost casual, yet carrying the undertone of projection. An attempt to pull an outsider into their internal dissatisfaction. Instead of defending myself, over-explaining, or apologizing, I paused. I looked at them and asked calmly: “Is it a problem?” He softened immediately, backpedaling into a vague explanation that it just seemed like I was “absorbing something.” Before the conversation could spiral into unnecessary psychological analysis, I closed it cleanly: “Let’s talk about this another time. I’d like to enjoy my breakfast.” When he tried to deflect with a cliché about women multitask...

Beyond fatigue | Where Does Energy Come From? | Recharging Ourselves

Image
I realized something simple, yet profound, while volunteering in Switzerland.  In a conversation with my host Heloise, something clicked into place.  Our Soul energy is not recharged by food. It is recharged through connection with the Source. Food nourishes the body. But it does not restore the deeper layer of energy we are often searching for. The Body and the Soul: Two Different Sources The body needs building blocks: nutrients minerals and salts carbohydrates and proteins This is functional nourishment. It keeps the system running. But the  soul —or the deeper essence of who we are—draws energy from somewhere else entirely. It draws from: connection presence the Source, the Divine Light.  When that connection is present, there is a natural sense of aliveness, clarity, and flow. When it is absent, no amount of food, rest, or external input fully restores us. Practices That Regulate Energy There are practices that help us reconnect and regulate this flow: Meditatio...

FREEDOM COACHING160 — Newsletter #1 | Barcelona, Reconnection & the Return of Alignment

Barcelona, Reconnection & the Return of Alignment 8 December 2025 Dear reader, Welcome to the very first edition of the FREEDOM Coaching160  newsletter. It feels meaningful that this begins right here, in Barcelona — a city that is opening doors, circles, and alignments at a speed I can barely keep up with. This past month has been about one theme:  returning to what is true. Reconnection. Healing. Integration. And stepping into the next level of freedom. Reconnecting & Completing Circles I recently reconnected with two of my closest friends — one from 2019, one from 2006. These aren’t everyday friendships; they are soul-connections that reappear exactly when the timing is right. With each conversation came fresh insight, new energy, and a sense that something inside me clicked back into place. A softening. A remembering. A return to wholeness. This morning, that softness showed up again when I witnessed an old wounded part of myself react to a situation in the house w...

Past Life Karma & Business: The Hidden Ledger

There is a lot happening in business today, with corruption, stealing, and illegal practices. And at times, it seems like people are getting away with it. But what if there is a deeper layer beneath all of this? What if, instead of reacting, judging, or trying to control the outcome, we stepped back… and simply observed? Beyond Right and Wrong In coaching and leadership, we often speak about responsibility, ethics, and accountability. And these matter. But there is another dimension—one that goes beyond visible transactions. A layer where energy, intention, and past actions interact in ways we don’t immediately understand. A Personal Reflection I once helped a friend sell part of his stock—something that had simply been sitting unused. I gave much of it away. It ended up helping people on their spiritual paths, supporting growth and transformation. From a conventional business perspective, this made little sense. There was no clear financial gain for me. But internally, something else ...

having reached stability ushering in others

When you have done the work of mastering the self during times of chaos, stability is automatically achieved. Its only a matter of time. Its much 2026 and as I turn 55, stability arrives quietly. Like reaching the peak of the mountain and just being present in the moment. And then taking on the next step with grace and calm. Ushering in others and helping them reach their peak is what I now do.. From a place of quiet peace.

Discovering my hostel in Malaga

First Night  As I settled into my room and sleeping hub yesterday, I met the girl in the bunk below mine in the 8–10 person dorm. She’s about twenty, from Finland, and traveling for two weeks to escape the minus 20°C winter back home. She told me she does this every year. Last year she was in Málaga too, and today she’s moving to a beach-front hostel because it’s quieter there. We exchanged stories about Finland, and somewhere in the conversation I discovered she’s a Pisces—just like me—with a birthday only a week earlier. Of course, she’s also a true HSP. Some things you just  feel  instantly. As we were chatting, another person arrived and settled into the room: a guy from Italy, here in Málaga on a four-day break. Brief introductions, easy energy. These small, transient meetings are one of the quiet joys of hostel life. After unpacking my bag and organizing my corner of the room, I headed for a shower and discovered how well set up this hostel actually is. The night it...

3 nights in Malaga

  Discovering Málaga Arriving in Málaga by bus on a calm Saturday afternoon, I take in the city’s gentle rhythm .  Unlike other cities, Málaga doesn’t press; it simply exists, welcoming without intrusion.  Andalusia, they say, has a softer touch than the north—and I feel it. Settling into café Iberia at the bus station, I enjoy a vegetarian tarte and a Heineken 0.  It makes me slightly tipsy, so I sip some water before paying €9.20 and heading to my bus.  Bus number 20 arrives almost immediately, and thirty minutes later, I check into my hostel—a clean, well-reviewed space that promises a comfortable stay. Eager to explore, I step back into the city, which was buzing with people, cafes and pizza places galore. After a quick stop at the restroom and a peek at the tidy kitchen-dining area, I wander out again. The café downstairs hums with the quiet buzz of laptops and conversation—young people working, coffee in hand, croissants on plates. How will I spend the nex...
