Jon Bakers, todays guest specializes in… Read More »happy#223 – introvert
simplicity of happiness · happy#222 – retire early While working on this podcast episode, I stumbled upon this text: F–– You Money Back in the 1920s, the actor Humphrey Bogart used to keep a $100 bill in his nightstand at all times. That’s the equivalent of over $1,200 today. He referred to it as his ‘f–– you money’, because it meant he’d never be forced to take a part he didn’t want. He once said… Read More »happy#222 – retire early

It is about saying… Read More »happy#220 – life transitions

simplicity of happiness · happy#214 – the minimalists Around a decade ago. Around 2012 I had accumulated a lot of emotional and physical luggage that started to wear me out.

I’ve been where you are.
Full of ambition, clarity at times—yet stuck. Unsure where to turn.
I know what it feels like to need support but not know how to ask for it.
That’s why I offer one coaching session per week for free.
Because helping is what drives me.
I genuinely enjoy holding space for others to shift. It’s not just about giving—it’s about the clarity, courage, and transformation that can happen in a single powerful conversation.
Because real impact starts with a chance.
Some of the most driven, talented people don’t have the financial means—yet. This is my way of backing those who are ready to move.
Because I’ve been there.
I’ve had the vision, but not the support. This is how I give back—by offering what I once needed.
Because experience beats advertising.
I don’t do ads. I believe in real connection. If our conversation works for you, you’ll remember it. Maybe you’ll come back. Maybe you’ll refer someone. Maybe you’ll simply take the clarity and run with it.
No pressure. No pitch. No strings.
This is a gift.
All I ask is that you show up fully. Be honest. Be real. Be willing to go there.
You’ll take from it what you’re ready for.
What happens next is up to you.
See you soon,
floh
