The days are slowly getting longer, the sun is out more, and there’s a quiet shift happening around—and perhaps also within—you. February feels like a season of building momentum and preparing for what is coming. It is a month where energy starts to soften and space is made for new beginnings. While you might still be reflecting and setting intentions, something is already happening beneath the surface. As you step into this new phase of the year, it’s a beautiful moment to check in with yourself. What are you nurturing? What are you gently bringing to life? What quiet transformations are already unfolding within you? I can already feel so much coming alive, and therefore look forward to sharing what I’ve learnt, what has moved me and which intentions I have for the coming month.

Confidence comes from having trust in yourself. It comes from trusting our own abilities, intuition, and decisions. It’s already within you. And yet, the key to building confidence lies in consistent practice. Confidence grows when you don’t always look to other people for the answers. When you don’t question every decision you have made. When you don’t lack the ability to stand up for yourself. And when you don’t avoid sitting with your own thoughts and feelings. Developing confidence through trust comes from choosing empowering beliefs and sustainable actions that propel you forward. You become confident when you embrace all of you. The whole you. Exactly as you are. Because your confidence is never dependent on others—it’s in you all along.

In the moments of stillness you find clarity, connection and direction. To find focus, you need to slow down and allow yourself the space to pause. To breathe. You need to slow down to speed up and move in the right direction. To align your actions with your values, you need to know what these are. You need to know who you are, what you need and what you want. And for that, you need to let your truth speak. From the depth of your heart. Because when you listen, from there you are guided towards meaningful and purposeful decisions. It’s in the quiet, in-between moments, where you make time to connect with yourself, you move from confusion to intention. From chaos to clarity. From mind to heart. By connecting with yourself, you come home, and create a foundation for change that resonates deeply with who you are (meant to) become.

You don’t need to choose. You can be everything. All at the same time. You can embody everything you want to be and everything you are. You can be soft and strong. Kind and honest. Humble and successful. Bold and gentle. Confident and introverted. Powerful and vulnerable. Logical and intuitive. Fearless and careful. Structured and spontaneous. Ambitious and at peace. Everything you are and everything you are becoming. There is no need to limit yourself. You don’t have to decide between one or the other. You don’t need to choose one path, have one answer or decide on one way of being. You are in motion, evolving, and endlessly complex. You can hold contradictions within you and still be whole. You are allowed to expand, to take up space, and to embody every version of yourself. You are allowed to shift, to grow, to redefine yourself over and over again.

focus more on being grateful and embracing abundance. I will focus on the positive instead of the negative, on what I have rather than what I don’t have and on the moments of joy, not the ones full of hurt.

let go of limiting beliefs. Releasing old patterns, trying new things, being open to receiving, I will break free from what I know and step into the unknown.

Whereas I cannot share one highlight from February, I am feeling particularly thankful for the raw moments of connection that I experienced. Throughout this month, I had some beautiful, open, honest, deep, and vulnerable moments and conversations with loved ones and new people I have met, and these have been so fulfilling and healing—and they reminded me of the value of human connection. Furthermore, I am really grateful for all the sunshine we had in February and can’t wait for lots more as we move into the next month.
