Welcome to my blog
Here you’ll find short articles about creativity, trauma-informed coaching, meaningful working and living, healing and personal growth. I also share books that I love and have found useful and reflect on creative or experiential processes to support you in cultivating your own reflective practice.
Free from AI. This blog is written by one human (that’s me, Conny), from the heart, with you in mind. I hope you find inspiration, food for thought and not too many typos!

While this is a cultural issue, as individuals we can support ourselves by developing a reflective practice and engaging in trauma-informed coaching.
