Nothing will ever make you happy, no matter how much you try, how much you seek, how much you achieve... not really, not truly, authentically, lasting happy.

However... You can... at any time, in any circumstance.
​

Nothing Can Make You Happy.
 
Wait, you say… when I am with my loved ones I’m happy, when I get my dream job I’m happy, when things go my way I’m happy, etc. Yes… there’s no denying this. However… what is the actual mechanism of this experienced happiness?
 
When you walk into your new home for the first time, maybe after months or years of dreaming about it, making it happen, you’re most likely overcome by happiness.
 
Is this joy coming from reaching your goal, having a new home, or is there an alternative way of understanding this?
 
In the process of making a dream come true, regardless of what that is – a new home, a life partner, your dream career, better health etc – the human mind has a sense of lack… “I do not have my new home yet, it’s not here and I want it”. This is a sense of lack, and a subtle resistance to what Is… “I’m not completely happy with my current circumstance, and I need to fix it”.
 
This resistance, whether subtle or pronounced, is a sort of energetic contraction, a “closing down”… we call the sensation of this closing down ‘suffering’. The experience of closing down our own energies is what makes us feel uncomfortable… not the external circumstance itself.
 
The same is true for happiness. It is what is happening within us, that determine how we fell – not the external circumstance.
 
As you walk into your new home, your mind relaxes and goes “Finally, I have my dream home, everything is perfect in this moment” and there’s a release of tension in your mind, an opening of energies.
 
When the energies that You are made up of, are allowed to flow freely, your inherent state of being is naturally present – joyful, at peace, clear, grateful, generous, empowered etc.
 
When you walk into your new home and feel an overflowing sense of joy, it is not the house that is making you happy. Your joy (or any emotion) is not coming from an outside source – ever! The happiness is arising within You, in this case as a response to an external event, and you’re able to perceive and experience this naturally present happiness, because your mind is open and relaxed enough.
 
So… the continuation of this exploration, will then be… If my joy is not actually coming from outside, but arising from within… do I really need external circumstances to experience joy – or any other emotional state?
 
If you are the source of your own happiness, as life goes your way… isn’t it then also possible to be the source of your own happiness, when it doesn’t? The answer is, of course, a sounding Yes… it is absolutely possible – and readily accessible to all 7+ billion of us, in this very moment.
 
By understanding that YOU are your own source of ANY emotional state, you can learn to navigate how you walk through life in a whole new way… where joy, peace and inspiration is present within you – even in the midst of external chaos… pandemics, political, religious, racial diversion etc.
 
The key ingredient to walking in the center of the hurricane is complete acceptance of What Is… releasing all resistance. Accepting what Is, is an internal matter, an energetic state of being, which frees us of so much suffering.
 
Accepting what IS, is not condoning everything as “right” or even acceptable. It’s simply an acknowledgment that this IS what is present in this moment – in my life, in my community, country or in the world. From my personal point of view I may not like what is present… but that fact is… what is IS… and it’s actually kind of silly to deny that fact.
 
It is also true that our inner resistance does NOTHING to bring on a change… it only creates a closing down within usand therefor a sense of lack and suffering.
 
Accepting what IS, is not the same as becoming passive or giving up on making a difference. It’s not the same as relinquishing your dreams for a “better” future.
 
Instead, accepting what IS, brings on a sense of opening, relief and arising of our natural state of joy and peace. From this clear open state of mind, we then have access to a much deeper/higher intelligence, an intelligence that is not coming from opposition and division, but oneness and the highest and best for everyone involved.
 
From this opened, elevated state of being, walking in the center of the hurricane, you can then navigate whatever is arising in your life and the world… without being “pulled” by it. When walking with joy and peace within, you bring Joy & Peace wherever you go… and that alone changes the world!
 
When you are taking action to bring on a better world from this elevated state of being, you do it empowered by the pure power and intelligence of Universe itself… and miracles become a regular occurrence.
 
It all begins with Accepting What Is, releasing all resistance; all need to fix any perceived wrong. Like Mahatma Gandhi so eloquently spoke of – in words and actions – “Be the change you want to see in the world” (regardless of if this is an actual quote or just a summary of what he stood for).
 

BE the Change… embody that which you want to see in the world within yourself First.

That way, you bring exactly that into the world energetically, you bring that into every encounter, it shines through every word you speak and every action you take.

ALL change starts within you and me… never out there, with “them”.

​Be THAT which you want to see in the world, and be it now.

Tell us about your coaching business and how you began.

For as long as I can remember I’ve seen the world differently than those around me, reasoned differently, reacted differently, felt, chosen and acted differently. I didn’t perceive this as a good thing growing up… that came with life experience and a more conscious awakening.

I remember a time; I believe in my twenties, when a cruise ship between Sweden and Finland went down and over 600 people died. Of course, it was a national tragedy and there was an expectance to react a certain way – with fear, drama, shock and an overriding emotion of sadness. Instead, I had this image of 600 bubbles of pure love, light… and JOY… rising from the ship. There was no sadness there, no drama or fear. I knew those who had died were fine, but felt deep compassion for those left behind, now lost in their own pain. Things like this would happen all the time and I didn’t know how to communicate it in a way that wasn’t off-putting or scary for others. Instead, I pulled back and tried to be like everyone else. It didn’t go so well.

People would naturally seek me out, feeling they could trust me, knowing I would hear them. I’d run into people I hadn’t seen in years, only to find out a few days or weeks later that they had passed on shortly after our meeting. I felt as if I was midwifing people into “death,” a return to spirit. So in a way you can say “coaching” was always part of my path, my life… even if I had a lot of resistance to start with.

My changing point came with an intense skydiving accident when I was 30 years old. My reserve parachute broke, and I was falling to the imminent death of my physical body. In an intense moment of clarity, I saw my life and myself from the point of view of life itself. I knew beyond any doubt that I am not this body/mind; I saw how I was living my life from a place of hiding and powerlessness… and I made a vow to change that, to live fully. Everything changed after that and within a year I was working as a channel and healer.

My work as a mentor, guide, and coach has evolved over the years. As I mature, my work matures. Today I mainly focus my work on bringing my clients beyond the story of who they think they are, into the pure potential of what we all truly are. I experienced this in my skydiving accident those many years ago and have spent my life finding a way to live continuously in this place of complete acceptance, power and peace… a place of pure potential where everything is possible.

As my clients experience themselves beyond their limitations, everything changes. It’s my joy and passion to support others to realize their potential.


How did you become involved with the Forever Fierce Revolution?

I’m new to this community, and at the same time, I have always been part of the Forever Fierce Revolution… living fiercely is my natural way of life. This year I was invited to speak at FierceCon LA and little did I know what an amazing journey that would set me on. Step by step, I’m realizing the power of Forever Fierce Revolution… the community, the sisterhood, the content. I’m very excited to be part of this, to explore, to share, and get to know you all.


What does it mean to be fierce?

Words are powerful symbols. They do not hold any meaning or power in themselves, except the meaning and power we give them. And we are powerful beyond our own comprehension, so the meanings we give to the words we use have the power to make or break someone, or ourselves.

In my coaching, I talk about Life Empowerment. Most will interpret this as the individual, the persona, becoming more empowered in his or her life… and yes that Is a consequence of the work. What Life Empowerment really is pointing to is that Life itself–our true essence–is becoming embodied and empowered in You and through you. The persona becomes less influential and then the authentic self can do its magic.

For me, being fierce is walking the path of awakening with a never-ending vigilance, a dedication to living in truth, love and joy. This takes courage - fierceness - a willingness to face the resistance that undoubtedly will arise… within us, as well as in the world around us. Only by fiercely facing our own fears can the veil finally lift.

Being fierce is also a character trait that I find naturally arises and evolves as we mature and awaken as humans. Partly this comes with life experience, but mainly I find it emerging powerfully as a human awakens from the story of illusion into authentic being. Fierce sovereignty radiates naturally then.


Name a woman you admire and why?

Wow, there are so many, throughout history and in modern times. Still, my choice is the faceless, nameless woman, living her everyday life almost in obscurity and yet continuing day by day with fierce integrity.

She is the guiding star for the children of light coming into this world of dark chaos. She’s the whispering voice guiding her tribe into inner balance and alignment. She dares to be what she is, rather than trying to conform to the expected image. She’s there for her sisters and brothers on this path, without giving up herself. She knows her power and influence, with no need to have it reflected or validated.

She’s the fearless leader of countless beings, even if she might never be recognized as such. I stand in awe of such inspired action and life.


If you were stranded alone on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you and why?

Hmm… Well, what comes to mind are the very basic things needed for survival – some kind of water container, most likely my water filter bottle, some kind of fire starter kit and multipurpose tool, like a machete. There’s very little we humans cannot live without, as much as we sometimes believe otherwise.

Throughout my life, I’ve lived both in abundance and in very simple circumstances. I’ve come to realize that once I meet my basic physical survival needs – water, food, shelter etc. – I’m completely capable of being fulfilled without external things or even people. My body wants to survive at all cost, my emotional being wants to feel connected, and my mind seeks intellectual understanding and inspiration. But what I really am exists beyond these human needs and truly is not dependent on or limited by them.

Most of us live “outside in”… we seek to create the right circumstances around us, so we can feel whatever we seek to feel – happy, powerful, secure, validated and on and on. Instead, we can learn to live “inside out”… to be able to generate our inner state of well being from within, regardless of outer circumstances. To me that is the ultimate freedom. Here you can be in any circumstance and remain fulfilled and happy. THAT is the one most important “thing” I would bring with me if I got stranded alone somewhere.

From a more earthly perspective, I’d love to bring my beloved iPhone, a solar charger and some magical way of having cell service anywhere… endless entertainment for my human mind, right there… oh, the TV shows and movies I would indulge in.
