My Journey:
At 5 years old, I knew: there was a land I'd go to become a broadcast journalist. When hearing the land's anthem, I cried for no reason. That land was America. My trajectory though was everything but straight. - Following the path of the soul never is.
Born near the iron curtain into a porcelain dynasty, my bio is rooted in faith, wide cultural exposure - and opposites.
It entails heritage, craftsmanship, connection, exquisite quality on one hand - loss, trauma, revival, re-invention on the other.
A living dialogue between worlds: easily moving between spiritual and physical. Seen and unseen. Light and darkness. High and low. A purity of spirit held by a Love deeper than life.
Career Path:
I started my career in luxury goods, earned an MBA, then followed my heart, became Mom and took a different path.
Worked on 5 continents as executive, entrepreneur, innovator, organizational transformation trailblazer and international broadcaster (DW, France24, NHK World).
Learned from failure and successes - and never lost sight of my inner guidance. A place I never felt alone.
Elegance is the code I live by, curiosity what drives me, and a rich inner world that moves me. Comfortable in my own skin, I believe:
"Work is Love made visible", Khalil Gibran
What distinguished my path was a realization that I had consistently followed my heart. Where others often fragment, I integrate.
What I do:
I'm devoted to reconnecting people with Nature - our spiritual origin; the belonging we seek, and the self mastery we carry. Bringing forth the divine inner spark so beautifully carried by the American story.
Co-creating our future is the next evolution of human skill. My work creates spaces for civic and personal transformation toward this skill.
Why?
To become true to our human heritage, our multidimensional human potential, renew our contract with Source and consciously create prosperity aligned with Natural Law. Leading a full rich, meaningful, soul-led life.
The future needs myths, and people brave enough to become them.
I treasure the language of Creation - the word that created the world. — Will you join?
On a personal note:
'I lived 1000 lives. Died 1000 deaths.' — The human story.
My personal journey entails what all human stories entail: letting go of illusion, trauma, old belief systems. We are in a time where many go through this process consciously, right now.
Growing up as a child near the iron curtain in a family that survived one of the largest expulsion in history in WWII - it shaped my outlook.
Fascinated by international dynamics, different cultures, a growth mindset early on, I learned that when your soul is aligned - synchronicity kicks in:
When I came to America, I encountered American myth and reality. - And loved all of it.
If you know a bit about numerology, you might intuitively understand:
everyone has a certain base rhythm — frequencies, energies that naturally swing in you. 11 is a prevalent influence in my life. 11 as an example holds two frequencies: a slightly lower and a higher one. E.g., in the lower 1+1=2 which means making peace with duality; in the higher one, 11 works as a double 1. That means twice the strength of the 1 -- independence, freedom, willpower on the one hand and nervous tension, illuminating natural insight and very high intuition on the other.
It brings together polar forces of life: A strive for independence vs need for collaboration. Sensitivity vs fierceness of will. - Powerful forces! Out of which come new life.
For the first half of my life, like so many people, I encountered opposites like e.g. poverty and wealth. Creation and destruction. Independence and co-dependence. Inner higher knowledge vs feelings of shame or guilt, much of it passed on by generations. — Diametrically opposing emotions every human's story entails on some level.
It's integrating those emotions that eventually leads to our human story embracing our true creative power.
By focusing on one aspect, we often negate the other — and in doing so deny a part of ourselves. But what we really do through this natural process is integrating and metabolizing different sides. A skill that has enabled me to synthesize opposing viewpoints while still holding on to my own.
To see the world not in black and white, but as a unit of the two. To not negate good or evil, but see how opposites make the physical world visible.
To really understand and heal, you have to integrate its opposite - light cannot be seen without darkness. Therein lies the big challenge for our next human chapter.
Integrating opposites is integral to America's soil. Why? Creating your own path is not possible without integrating opposites. And creating your unique path is where America shines. Brightly.
The process of integrating opposites within yourself drives you to self-realize; throws you back to your core; teaches you to change your circumstances out of your own inner power. That is America's promise; its beating heart and fertile ground.
Pure power of transformation. Which is why Miracles will always be an American Affair. It's in our DNA.
An invite for all of us, knowingly or not.
I re-invented myself, several times over. Each time shedding another layer I no longer was. That, too, is unique to America.
I changed industries, sectors & outlook. Wherever my inner voice told me to go - I went. What felt to me like detours; felt often to others, like I was traveling on a magic carpet, with every piece contributing a vital part to what I'm doing today:
Connecting the dots about ourselves, nature, the future and the world we want to create. Anchored in the Good, the True and the Beautiful.
My own journey brought me full circle. Today, I do what I always wanted to do: Writing, media hosting & pioneering.
That's America. The Beautiful. No country does it better.
