15-minute life change
Telling stories and holding ritual by the bonfire, Copenhagen 2025
A little over two years ago, in the Fulfilment coaching module during my coaching education with CTI, I raised my hand to be coached in front of the room of 23 coaches-to-be by one of the leaders. It was a 15 minute demo session, in which the leader coached me around my purpose to demonstrate fulfilment coaching skills to the group. Just the two of us were on camera, everyone else off camera. She is a masterful coach, and in that session, which meandered into a spontaneous visualisation, I literally saw my purpose come to life. My why became clear that day.
I saw myself as a wise elder, standing by a huge bonfire, gathering people from near and far, from all different cultures, geographies and life experiences. They came together to warm themselves by the fire, fuel up on love, connection, belonging, weave new stories, create new ideas together and go out into the world again to make them happen. My eyes were closed and tears were streaming down my face. It was one of the most emotionally overwhelming and impactful moments of my life. I saw my own potential, my light and all that I am and have to give to the world.
It felt like this vision appeared from out of nowhere, but somewhere deep down I knew that I’ve always known. It was surprising and at the same time it felt like coming home. There was peace and I felt grounded and calm.
At the end of the 15 minutes, I committed to resigning from my job within 6 months. It would give me enough time to prepare, establish the company and get some work in. It was a “reasonable” timeline. But, thankfully, when my gut feeling is as strong as it was then, I don’t do “reasonable”. So two weeks later, I gave my notice of resignation and leapt into the unknown in the middle of the pandemic. That session was the point of no return for me and I just couldn’t go back.
I’ve never had an ambition to start my own company, I’m too much of a team person. And - I’ve had a bad example from back home. And yet, there I was, going forward with it. So, on August 3rd 2020 I got my company number from the tax authorities and Thought Wardrobe was born. What I stand for in my business is “A new possible” - so I literally help people create their new possible life, dream, idea, service, job, health, team, calm, etc.
It’s been two years filled with purpose, conscious choice, meaningful work, brilliant people I get to coach and collaborate with and make a positive impact in the world!
But most of all, I am celebrating:
Fully honouring my purpose
Building my business on my intuition that I’ve been neglecting for years
Allowing my feminine energy to balance out my inner warrior
Having the courage to step into full responsibility for everything that happens in my life
Being brave and having trust in moments of uncertainty
Saying no to work that doesn’t resonate
Daring to constantly seek new edges, new adventures and not just sticking to what I already know
Allowing myself to be seen and making my voice heard
Shining my light and empowering my community to do the same
And last, but not least, healing my story of separation and not being good enough so that I can help my clients see that they already are everything they can dream of and more
I haven’t yet decided how I want to celebrate, but I’m sure the idea will find its way to me at the right time.
What I really want to do is to light that bonfire and gather my people! Someday, at the exact right time, I will.
So, inevitably a story like this invites a big question for you.
