simplicity of happiness · SE05 happy#224 – because you can So often, people need to have a reason to take action. It can become difficult to chose between investment and return, especially when helping others? Does there really need to be a return or is it about how we feel ourself doing it in the first place?

simplicity of happiness · happy#223 – introvert Introvert or Extrovert. Most of us heart these terms before, but who can recall any business training, strategy or job motivation that did not seem to be for the extroverts. I belief that this is more on the behavioral site than a real character trade and this behavior being caused by different intrinsic motivations. Nevertheless it occurs in each one of us. 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
simplicity of happiness · happy#221 – life design I met Carlos and Susanne when they interviewed me for their podcast life design and there I had the feeling there is more to discuss in further details. At first glance they seem to be a happy couple that found their role by successfully raising 4 children and having a career. But, there is more to it and it did not go as expected and they had… Read More »happy#221 – life design
simplicity of happiness · happy#220 – life transitions Is a minimalist life possession free? No, it is well curated! Things that minimalists own, fulfill a purpose and often you will find a lot of high quality items in their daily life. That is because they don‘t like trash in their life and things that are used regularly are therefor higher quality. You see, being a minimalist is not about saying no. It is about saying… Read More »happy#220 – life transitions
simplicity of happiness · happy#206 – insides into coaching These years lockdowns turn out to have something quite positive for me. I don‘t think that I have stayed for so long at the same place in the last 10 years.That meant for me not going on any adventures, not traveling and not starting anything new. Well, at least not except for my tiny farm project in the Swiss mountains. I was frustrated about that at… Read More »happy#206 – insides into coaching
simplicity of happiness · happy#201 – symptom or cause? It has been a while that I moved from Berlin and it has even been a few years more that I started my journey to minimalism and reduce my clutter.There was a time when I could not let go of excess stuff. While my income was increasing I purchased new stuff every once in a while but I did not let go of the old.I used… Read More »happy#202 – reduce your mental clutter
simplicity of happiness · happy#201 – symptom or cause? Don’t we often mistake the symptoms for the cause?Somehow this seems to be a a very humanly behavior because we don’t only do it for ourselves.I have recently been on a road trip through Germany and I was shocked to see how many forests all over the country where dying. A result of the heat I thought and a research showed that they actually die because… Read More »happy#201 – symptom or cause?
simplicity of happiness · happy#200 – tiny steps add up In preparation for this episode I wanted to look for something special at first. Then I realized, that it doesn‘t matter if it was episode 200, 300, 1000 or any random number in between. It is always the most important episode that I am recording at the moment. Life is a progress and always now.Therefor it also doesn‘t make sense to feel grief about the past… Read More »happy#200 – tiny steps add up

simplicity of happiness · happy#198 – things take time I kept myself busy while being locked down and build myself a little farm in the mountains. As so often I get inspired when doing something else. I had a lot of hatching eggs lately and they have been teaching me patience. Some of them hatched way earlier than expected and other took for ever and although there is basically a living bird inside the egg… Read More »happy#198 – things take time
simplicity of happiness · happy#happy#197 – bang for the buck With a lot of quiet time there is space to think. About life and what it means to us, to me.What will happen when we don‘t put the money on the table and expect the most for it. Most people on earth being locked away gives plenty of room for other things. Such as nature, or reflexion.So I ask myself, what if we take this… Read More »happy#197 – bang for the buck
simplicity of happiness · happy#196 – crisis strategy I struggle at the moment.I trained myself over the last year to always look out for the positive.

simplify, simplify, simplify Let go of everything that holds you back from anything you want to achieve. Just be clear on this one: To simplify and to go minimal is the opposite of a loss. You are not missing out on anything. It is more about creating the space for the things you love most. The goal is to let go of the things, thoughts, possessions, friends that hold you back. A day has 24h,… Read More »no more

simplicity of happiness · happy#194 – always room to improve As we talked about growth… there is always room for it. You will not reach the end of growth, because you can also move on from the position you are at in the moment.I had a 15min speed coaching session with John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneurs on Fire. He became as financially successful as you you can be with a Podcast. Even for him there is… Read More »happy#194 – always room to improve
simplicity of happiness · happy#193 – what brought you here won’t get you there The beginning of this year has been in the name of change and growth. Mainly how to embrace struggle, failure and backsets into a learning possibility and the opportunity to grow.A belief and mindset that helps you on that journey is the realization that what brought you here won‘t get you there.When you reached a plateau and that is were you… Read More »happy#193 – what brought you here won’t get you there
simplicity of happiness · happy#192 – islands As you know, I love the ocean. I love sailing and it makes a perfect metaphor for life. It also is a decent tool for coaching, mainly because of the lack of distraction. You have a clear routine and in between a lot of time where you can’t do lot. You can’t go anywhere and even on the boat the options are limited. That might come close to… Read More »happy#192 – islands
simplicity of happiness · happy#191 – achievements In the last episodes I talked about the up & down cycles of success (and happiness), the opportunities, and the possibility of growth. All of these need you to see and value your achievements. Often we are so busy being busy that we don‘t see our progress and achievements. As an example I give an overview of my own achievements in a year that did not feel too… Read More »happy#191 – achievements
simplicity of happiness · happy#190 – growth Growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. When everything is running smooth in your life, it looks to the outside world as if you are improving at the moment.

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,
