My business didn’t grow global when I started speaking English… it grew global the day I decided I was never meant to stay small.

I received a DM from a woman who asked me about my way of helping women all over the world, while she knows that I started my business in Dutch. This blog tells the truth about that journey. She said: “You started your business in Dutch. How did you reach international success?”

I said: “I felt I was meant to grow beyond The Netherlands. Just like, years ago, I felt I had to grow beyond Limburg when I first started.”

It just didn’t happen overnight. ;) Yes, occasionally an international client would wander in. But it was nothing like today. It took a real choice.

It wasn’t always graceful. The first time I launched a program in English, not a single international woman signed up. I felt like a complete fool: teaching in English to a group of Dutch and Belgian women, wondering if I had just made the most ridiculous move.

My second launch felt even worse. “What if again… nobody international showed up? What if I was the only one who believed in this version of me?” There’s a moment I still remember clearly.

I was standing in the shower and I turned to God out loud. I could feel the anger and disappointment. “If international is truly my path, give me a fcking clear answer (yes, I curse…even to God ;) ).  Because holding this frequency… without seeing it reflected yet, is starting to feel brutal.”

And the whisper came, not as a sign, but as a knowing: “Are you willing to hold what is true…for as long as it takes…while they all watch you do it?” That was the medicine, because honestly I wasn’t always willing. There were more than one moment when I wanted to give up and step back.

Leadership is not about being understood immediately. It’s about being aligned relentlessly. I realized:

• My medicine is not limited by borders.

• My words carry a frequency, not a language.

• My vision was never meant to be small, local, or convenient.
  

And yes, I was willing to hold it. Visible, vulnerable, and with open-hearted power. Even before it works. So what was it that really shifted it? “I became the woman whose energy wasn’t designed for just one country. And I kept showing up as her long before it made sense.”

I trusted that those who could feel me would find me. That the right clients would recognize my depth beyond perfect grammar. That impact doesn’t wait for perfection. That I could show up as me and be vulnerable in my way to my desire. 

And the day after that specific shower moment, women came from Portugal, Spain, France, the US and Canada. Stepping into my 30k in 30 days offer at the time. 

That's when I knew: I didn’t just translate my words. I translated my essence. So no, it didn’t just happen. I chose it. Fully. Way longer than felt comfortable and before anyone else did. And then, I kept choosing it.
