Gender equality and beyond: feminism is for everyone

Gender equality and beyond: feminism is for everyone

Are women’s rights valid during a pandemic? Not everyone thinks so

Last week, I read a post that made me stop in my tracks: It said that speaking about gender equality and women’s issues was an outdated subject of 2019. The writer continued that especially now with Covid19 women’s issues were somewhat irrelevant. The author used this pandemic a reason to stop discussing one of the most…

STOP LOOKING AWAY!! See what is happening around. See the people that are hurt. Truly acknowledge the circumstances and understand that we live in a system that is excluding people based on their color of their skin. If we truly want to live in a free world - we must create it by actively changing it. It’s not enough to speak about it! 👉 INCLUSION, SUPPORT & ACTIONS are required to create change. Look around you. See who you are friends with. Have conversations and discussions. Speak up. And sometimes you have to let go of people that just don’t want to see. Start with yourself. Understand the thought processes that you have been socialized in. Understand how you have to change it. And please 🛑 STOP saying them and they. We are in this together. #fairworld #creatingabetterworld #unitedwechange #thisisyourplace #mindsetofexcellence #speakupspeakout #lookmeintheeyes #womeninspired #mindsetreset #racismisreal #racisminamerica #youbelongnow #youareworthmore #supportchange #humanrightsactivist #stepuprevolution #youbelonghere #togetherwearestronger #stepup #unitedwestand #mindsetmatters #enoughisenough #speakup #blacklivesmatter (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-Mjsdlpx1/?igshid=1bwrv74zwb3g9

The reason why I believe that everyone should be traveling around the world is that it is the antidote to #racism, #xhenophobia, #antisemitism, and #intolerance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Getting to know each other, learning from one another, and understanding different cultures is what brings us closer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am not expressing my political opinion and world views very often on Instagram, but sometimes it is necessary. Just to push the comfort zone a bit and remember that there is still so much work that we need to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Work that we can do daily by reflecting on our believes, thoughts, and words. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there is one thing that we have learned throughout the last months, is that we are all interconnected and that we can survive and go through a pandemic with grace. It is utterly disappointing to see how governments blame others, try to nationalize a cure, create a capitalistic race, and feed into that dark fire of discrimination and racism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is not what I stand for, it is not what I believe in, and it is not what I support. On the contrary, it is a reminder that there is so much work that I need to do. And I can't wait to start to travel again and meet new people in foreign countries. Listen to their stories and learn from them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please, don't get discouraged, and don't let fear conquer your decisions. Stay positive and stay on the bright side. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The force is within you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelopensyourmind #openyourminds #openmindset #trustyourself #createyourownreality #findyourself #listentoyoursoul #goodmind #livetothefullest #inthemoment #openyourmind #openminds #exploreyourself #happymind #lifeisajourney #freespirit #personalgrowth #mindshift #bemindful #lifepurpose #limitingbeliefs #purposefulliving #personalgrowthjourney #careercoach #positivepsychology #leadershipskills (at Amman, Jordan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqFvqyFPMX/?igshid=1jb34k0u9ech9

Positive Psychology - Best 7 positive mindset books

Positive Psychology – Best 7 positive mindset books

Staying positive isn’t always the easiest thing. It really takes daily effort to build a strong positive mindset that supports you staying on the right track.

Even after years of working in the field of positive psychology, I need to set daily intentions. And while most of the time it comes easy to stay focused and there are certainly days that make it more difficult.

THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN QUITE AN EXPERIENCE: STAYING AT HOME AND AWAY FROM EVERYONE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We just realized that tomorrow starts the 12th week of isolation—what a crazy time. But I have been quietly enjoying it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, it was sad to have to cancel all of our travel plans. As you know, that is one of the things that makes me feel alive. Discovering new cultures and observing the way people live in different countries brings me joy and makes my heart beat a little bit fast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being at home has other perks. Manuel and I haven’t had a fight or argument. We haven’t been able to spend that much time together since we move to the US (dang, this country lives a fast pace life). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And of course, I was first worried about money and the economic future. But there is nothing that we can do about it right this moment. And if there is one thing that I learned in 2015 when we encountered a significant financial burden is that money will come back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Generally speaking, I don’t have any bad memories of that time. I remember great friendship and support. I remember having all these creative energy and excitement going through that adventure. I know it’s easier said than done. This is your time to build a positive mindset and focus on the opportunities and good things in your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you would lighten up my week by sharing three positive things from your current life with me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photo taken by @jenniferchang_photography #positivepsychologypractioner #positivepsychologycoach #positivepsychology #selflovecoach #speakyourtruth #personalgrowthjourney #bemindful #inspiredlife #lifepurposecoach #abundantliving #createyourreality #livealifeyoulove #livewithintention #soulpreneur #livewithpurpose #abundancemindset #createthelifeyouwant #thoughtleader #embracechange #couplesportraits #coupletime #realtionshipgoals #couplescollective (at Birmingham, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAeVMewle4E/?igshid=fgsc3pvt4qih

Why women need to step into leadership? A exploration on how our society can benefit from women leading.

And why we need more women in leadership!

Amid this crisis, women have proven once again that we are the pillars of our community. We see women leading with grace and courage. Never the less many women still shy away from embracing leadership roles with their full potential.

Why leadership is scary?

To be a leader can be scary and sometimes even unattractive because many leaders around…

It hit me like a strike of lightning. Literally!!! Finally, I understood that I have to invest into myself and start trusting experts to help me get to the next level. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know it is not always the easiest decision to pay for a consultant, mentor, coach or teacher. But boy, it does make a difference. Especially, if you are inpatient and want to be able to be more effective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t get me wrong everything takes it’s time and we can’t force certain things to happen. But if you have a deep seated feeling and knowledge that there is more out there for you, but you don’t know how to tap into it. Or you don’t know how to contribute with your skills. - Getting an expert that has experience can be valuable and a catalyst. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have invested over the years in many things. And it hasn’t come always easy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year has been filled with so many unbelievable and impactful lessons. It really started at the @altsummit conference. It was my first conference and it was as mind blowing to be surrounded by so many amazing women that were all creating and impacting their communities in a positive way. It continued with the @thehuddle_retreat. Getting the possibility to have several coaches focus on your business and help you to make it better was powerful. It also sparked the need in me to find more support and help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the past months I have reached out to several mentors, signed up with two networks and created accountability groups. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today has been the pinnacle. I started working with Katrina Cobb and she has catapulted me into the next level. She created a clear message for me. A message that will hopefully resonate with you as much as it does with me. This process started long time ago and today I have finally arrived at a point where I am satisfied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The biggest lesson from all of this is: Invest in yourself. Get support. Ask when you need help. Don’t hesitate, like I did, to pay for the help of experts. #investinyourselffirst #investinyou #consciousbusiness #consciouslifestyle #mindfulnessmatters #mindfulmoment#innergrowth#trustyourpath #consciousnessshift #thegoodtrade #theauthenticfeeling (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_6CpsCFi2g/?igshid=17wstvs32uza8

Double tap if INSPIRATION, SUPPORT, and FRIENDSHIP are what keeps you sane during this weird time. It certainly is what keeps me on track. Especially today, on May the Fourth be with you, I want to give thanks to people that keep on reminding me to keep on going and the people that keep on inspiring me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, you have the right to continue with your life and keep on creating. The path of embracing freedom and stepping out of your comfort is not easy, and that's why you shouldn't stop working or creating. You need to continue on your path. You need to continue training your mind to think positively and focusing on the good things around you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Staying positive or focusing on positive thoughts does not mean that you don't see the reality. It just means that you will not re-read the news all over again. You know the facts, but you also know that the world will continue, and it is up to you to create a path forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I can't wait to work again with @abigail_edds. Is there anyone special that you are looking forward to working with again? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #staypositive💕 #setgoals #thinkbig #newstarts #personalgoals #achievetheimpossible #succeed #beyourbestself #beyourbestyou #getmotivated #befearless #pushforward #staypositive👍 #communityovercompetititon #communityovercompetittion #womenwithvision #sisterhoodovercompetition #bizcoach #makersgunnamake #smallbusinesssupport #bossladymindset #bossbabestribe #sheboss #hersuccess #bossbabesociete #girlpreneur #bossbabes (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yWiaJFvsN/?igshid=fx4vtytqtny6

Double tap if Mondays just don't feel like Mondays anymore! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have been able to establish a new routine and I couldn't wait for this new week to begin. Mondays have been always very special to me. They mark a fresh start and give you the opportunity to achieve new goals. And you never know what is around the corner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I like to start Mondays by acknowledging the people in my life that inspire me and keep me motivated. Today, I would like to introduce you to Merel @merelvanderwouden and Bridgette @lifewithcoachb. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have met both women through Instagram and can't tell you enough how special these connections have been. Merel and I have been in touch for almost 2 years now. Bridgette and I met just a few weeks ago. But I feel like I know both for years. It is the spirit and passion that both have for their work and the women they work with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am so glad that I have been able to make these special connections with women that share the same beliefs and are working daily on empowering women and the communities around them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join Merel and me tomorrow for a live conversation on money and mindset. Let us know what is on your mind and how we can support you on your journey of growth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #moneymindsetcoach #negotiationskills #positivitycoach #inthecompanyofwomen #womennsupportwomen #gratitudemonday #mindsethacks #transformyourmind #lifeinthecompanyofwomen #positivepsychologycoaching #wellbeingjourney #emotionalwellbeing #strengthcoach #positivepsychology (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fvuLLFiQ1/?igshid=1f0fy2wu2oiin

The Beauty in Intercultural Communication

Do you work in a multicultural office? Do you have coworkers or clients from other countries or cultures? As we move further into the twenty-first century, this is becoming more and more common. The internet and other innovations have made the world feel smaller and more accessible, and the ability to effectively communicate across cultures is more important now than ever.
