PERSONAL MILESTONE

Reflections after a year of healing

Every morning, looking in the mirror and recognizing myself a little more after an intense year of chemo, surgeries, and radiation feels like a tremendous blessing. It also makes me realize that milestones can always be achieved if you're willing to give them time—except, of course, for things beyond your control.

BOOK

Bossy paper

The very first Bossy Paper is currently on my bedside table. During the creation process, I, of course, thoroughly read all the articles, but now that the paper is finally here, I can truly enjoy what we’ve created. The wonderful mix of interviews—such as with KAAI founders Ine and Helga—fun lists, book and podcast inspiration, hotspots, and planning tips inspires me to reflect and get motivated.

DAILY INSPIRATIONS

Bossy community

Bossy has evolved from a magazine for entrepreneurial women into a beloved brand, inspiring its community through events, masterclasses, and media. I’m inspired by titles, sentences, or layouts and enjoy translating them into something uniquely mine—often triggering ideas that feel like they’ve been waiting in my mind all along.

ART

Olafur Eliasson

I’ve always been a fan of Olafur Eliasson, especially The Weather Project from 2003. “You will see clouds today that you will never see again,” Eliasson said, and that idea inspired him to create this work. The fact that, as a visitor, you became part of the artwork is something I find incredibly inspiring. It makes me wonder: can a brand create something equally powerful?

BAG PICKED

Midi Bowler warm taupe

When the bowler bag was first released, I instantly fell in love with the design. Choosing between the three models wasn’t easy—should I go for the mini, midi, or large? Although I wanted them all, I ultimately chose the midi. It’s practical yet spacious enough to carry both makeup and notebooks.
