Most people spend their lives learning how and what to think.

Very few ever learn how to feel alive.

My work isn't built on the belief that people are broken. I believe we've been educated to develop one kind of intelligence while neglecting another.

When I look at the women I work with, I see women who are exceptionally good at thinking.

Scientists.

Researchers.

People in logic-based careers.

Women who solve difficult problems every day and understand complexity.

They have built successful lives through discipline, intelligence and determination.

And yet, at a certain stage of life, many of them start wondering why life doesn't feel as fulfilling as they thought it would.

We live in a world that worships the mind.

Beginning in school, we're rewarded for thinking.

We're taught to analyse data and justify our decisions. Our emotions were rarely welcome. We were too angry, too sad or too fearful, and the adults around us tried to fix that.

They disciplined us when we were screaming with anger.

They distracted us when we were crying.

They told us to be brave when we were afraid, as if being told to be brave would make the fear disappear.

So we learnt to suppress our emotions, ignore our bodies, keep smiling, work harder and be sensible.

In short, we learnt to be a Good Girl.

And to be rational.

But there are questions the mind cannot answer.

What do I really want?

Am I forcing something that no longer fits me?

What kind of life would actually feel like mine?

Those answers don't always arrive as well-formed plans.

They arrive as sensations and feelings.

Curiosity.

Resistance.

Relief.

Attraction.

Aliveness.

I believe aliveness is a form of intelligence.

A deeply practical one.

Your body notices things long before your conscious mind understands them.

It knows when you're safe.

It knows when you're pretending.

It knows when you're exhausted.

It knows when something feels like the right next move.

Most of us have learnt to ignore these signals because they don't look as respectable as a rational argument.

We've become fluent in logic.

We haven't become equally fluent in ourselves.

This changed my own life.

About ten years ago, I didn't feel alive.

In fact, I didn't feel much at all, apart from stress and the depression that came with burnout.

I couldn't sleep through the night. I sat crying at the breakfast table. I didn't want to go to work.

I was miserable.

So I did what intelligent people like to do.

I tried to solve the problem by thinking about it.

How could I feel so bad when I loved my job?

Sure, I worked a lot. I went to the lab almost every weekend to take care of my experiments.

Isn't that normal?

Isn't the lack of free time simply the price you pay for doing work you're passionate about?

I didn't understand.

Eventually I couldn't bear the stress at work any more, so I took a one-month sabbatical and went to Spain.

I had a beautiful time there.

But the vacation itself didn't get me out of that dark hole.

What changed things was a commitment I made during that trip. On the first day in Spain, I signed up for a year-long sensuality course.

It was one of the best decisions of my life.

Allowing myself to feel more, not less, ultimately helped me get out of burnout and depression.

Isn't that weird?

I stopped trying to fix the small aspects of my life and started asking myself:

What makes me feel more alive?

That question changed the direction of my life.

That's why I don't teach formulas.

I don't believe your life can be designed from somebody else's blueprint.

There has never been another person exactly like you.

So why would there be one right way for you to live?

Instead, I teach you skills that help you navigate your life without losing sight of your aliveness.

You learn to recognise your own signals of desire.

You learn to distinguish fear from truth.

You learn to notice when you're acting from obligation rather than desire.

And you learn to let your body become part of your decision-making instead of treating it like a machine that carries your brain to meetings.

Joy isn't the goal.

Joy is what happens when your life becomes more congruent.

Pleasure is what happens when you consciously inhabit your body instead of living only in your head.

Power is what happens when you stop apologising for your desires and start asking for what you want.

These aren't separate goals.

They're signs that you're moving in the direction of your aliveness.

So what do we actually do together?

We create the conditions for you to hear yourself again.

Not the version of you that has learnt to make sense to everyone else.

The turned-on version of you that has been patiently waiting for you to come to your senses.

Insight is only valuable if it changes the way you act.

Here's what happens when we start being fully alive.
