About Me

I grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, in a loving family. As the middle child, I naturally took on the role of the mediator — the one tuning into everyone’s emotions, feeling responsible for the atmosphere in the house, and trying to keep the peace. Unconsciously, this shaped a core belief: that I was lovable when I was useful. Slowly, a fear began to form around my own self-worth.

​

Could I be loved simply for who I was?
Was I enough just by being me — even when I wasn’t needed, helpful, or performing?

​

With this belief running in the background, I learned to adapt, to please, to achieve and to become what was acceptable. I started school a year early, and as a hyperactive, curious, and talkative child, I was bullied by my old fashion teacher. Although she eventually lost her job because of it, the damage was already done — I fell into depression at the age of seven. When I later changed classes, my self-esteem was so low that I naturally became a target for bullying by other children, which continued through most of my early school years.

​

This deeply reinforced my unworthiness wound. As adolescence arrived, I tried even harder to fit in and feel safe — through people-pleasing, good grades, controlling my appearance, and chasing validation. Eating disorders followed, along with a constant need for external approval and attention. I didn’t know I was wearing a mask. I only knew I was exhausted inside.

​

After graduation, a sudden and powerful spiritual awakening shattered my idea of myself and of the world. What followed was a profound identity crisis — and a deep search for truth. I turned to ancient spiritual traditions across the world, from the Amazon jungle to the Himalayas, moving through retreats, meditation, and ceremonial spaces. Eventually, I had a simple but radical realization:

 

There is no “me” to find.
There is only what was never me that needs to fall away.

​

To truly live and integrate what I had seen and understood, I moved into an intentional community. I’ve now spent over a decade there, learning what embodiment actually means — not in theory, but in real life: through relationships, conflict, accountability, boundaries, and genuine human intimacy.

​

That is where I learned that healing is not about escaping the world, transcending humanity, or becoming “better.” It is about taking full responsibility for how we live, relate, and show up. And that when we do our own inner work deeply and honestly, we don’t just free ourselves — we contribute to healing the world through the way we live, love, and lead.
