Some moments just have to be shared 🩷

Crete, October 2025 ☀️

I en hverdag med mye som skjer, er det lett å glemme seg selv.
Men hvordan du har det – innerst inne – betyr mer enn du kanskje tror.

Ikke fordi du skal gjøre mer.
Men fordi du fortjener å ha det godt.
Fordi det også er omsorg.
For deg. For relasjonene dine. For barnet ditt.

La oss snakke høyere om dette.
La oss normalisere mer balanse i hverdagen.
La oss kjempe sammen.
La oss hjelpe hverandre.

Hva gir deg litt ro akkurat nå?
Del gjerne – kanskje det inspirerer noen andre i samme båt.

After a week off from posting, I realized:
1. I’d been following others’ strategies too long and lost touch with why I started sharing online.
2. Constantly chasing ideas led me to compare myself to other creators—unhelpful and discouraging.
3. I felt like I had to document everything, which quickly became overwhelming.

After the second and third week offline,
I actually realized I missed creating content.

Because I am passionate about so many subjects and about helping others.

Being that I live in Norway and the change I want to be a part of is very current on so many subjects here, I have decided to continue my page in Norwegian 🇳🇴

Over the last couple of months, I’ve realized that my heart is calling me to do something deeper - focusing on physical & mental health for parents so they can thrive, not just survive.

It’s time to put YOU first, because when you’re at your best, so are your kids 🩷

Sooo, if you are a Norwegian fellow parent, I hope you stick around and that we connect.
If you are not, but still choose to stay tuned, I welcome you in my DMs for any discussion you would like to have in English.
(or Serbian, or Macedonian😆)

Talk to you all soon ✨

As a former Serbian student,
As a still Serbian (and Macedonian) citizen,
As a child who grew up in a corrupt system.
As a mother and a human,
I cannot but help but feel emotional about these events.

Witnessing the power of unity, solidarity & support.

Something I only could have dream about as a child when all we were thought was to stay divided. Different. Stay silent.
“Ours” and “Theirs”

We were thought it doesn’t help to raise your voice.
You don’t have control anyway.

Either just accept someone else is calling the shots, or run for your life, far away.

“Divide & conquer” may have worked for centuries.

But the future looks brighter than ever.

Happy delayed New 2025 from me 🌟

As we’re entering this new year, I decided to drop goal setting, but rather reflect on all the things I’m grateful for, proud of and happy I’ve experienced in the year that has been.

And while doing so, I realized I may have not achieved all of my written goals for the past year.
However, it was absolutely a year filled with what I aimed for the most : being present, at peace and stress free.

And this feeling right here is worth so much more than any other goal I’ve ever set.

I guess some of the things we wish so much for,
we already have.
It’s already there, in front of us - but there is too many distractions, worries and limitations in our way to see it.

If I would wish anything for each and one of you here in this new year is this:
That you get to cherish every single moment and have the mind worry free so you can stop and think
«I’m happy I’m right here» ❤️

Cheers 🥂

Weekends…

How often do you wake up on a Saturday morning and think
“Crap, the house is a mess”
“There’s so much we gotta do…”

And then you work with yourself thinking,
“I don’t care - we’re just gonna go out and enjoy ourselves”
“Out of sight, out of mind”

You try to talk yourself out of grinding about it.

“Messy house means it’s people living here”
“I’m not my mom who stayed at home, I was at work all week, of course it’s not gonna be all tidy and clean”


Before I move on, I just want to say: Yes!
This is all TRUE.

And if you did manage to put the mess, the crumbs, the dust bunnies, the piles of laundry, the finger marks all over - all behind you and actually went out to enjoy the day with your family : I hope you are proud of yourself!

Actually take a moment and give yourself a tap on the shoulder 👏

We are a completely new generation of women, mothers, wives that are unlearning as much as learning how to deal with it all.

But I also want you to know something else:

💫You deserve to wake up a Saturday morning and walk down to a spotless kitchen.
💫You deserve to look at the floor and not have last week’s bread crumbs crunching under your feet.
💫You deserve to pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the warmth of a home you’ve created.
💫 You deserve to take a minute, breathe and get lost in the giggles and laughter while the whole fam is still in PJ’s.

You deserve to take the whole day out in the sun well knowing when you come home, there isn’t a mile long “to do” list that has to be done before the end of Sunday…

When working for yourself, working from home and being in total control of your schedule, this is actually possible.

It took me a while to actually accept this, and that’s why I’m sharing this with you.
Because I went for way too long battling the thoughts, the excuses, the opinions.

I’m 100% for lowering the expectation bar and not being so hard on ourselves..

But what if a tidy, well organized, well functioning home is what we want?
What we desire…
Not because of what someone else thinks, but because it’s what gives US the peace of mind, the “aaaaah” feeling?

Why should we then have to compensate?

It’s time to change the narrative

To put behind us all the traditional way of thinking and limitations!

Up until now entrepreneurship has been defined as this hard core hustle, where you have to leave your sweat, blood and tears to see success - making sacrifices on all levels of your life.
It’s been defined by risk.
Risk a mother would never take.
‘Cause she’s aware of the scales it can have.

Up until now, men have dominated the entrepreneurial world because of the way business had been defined leaving no room for adjustment for women to do it in their natural way leading with feminine energy that is way less aggressive. But way more aligned.
It’s been looked at as weakness.
Like women don’t have what it takes.
It has left them feel they have to choose between being in their natural peaceful state, or pulling up the big boss pants to prove a point.

So many opportunities have gone lost because we’ve been thought to follow rules defined by someone who’s nothing like ourselves.

It’s time to change the narrative.

It’s time to understand that we’re capable of creating our own table, on our terms, if there’s no room to the existing ones.

Finding a business model that not only aligns but actually improves my femininity and allows me to became a better mother, better woman, better wife, better sister & daughter.

That’s what I’m talking about.

Is it hard?
Yes, on a whole different level.
Because it takes as much unlearning as it does learning.
Does it take tears?
So so many!
Because it takes breaking down to peaces to put them back together accordingly.

But oh, witnessing fellow ladies, fellow mommas peel their layers one by one and stepping into their natural power has been absolutely breathtaking 👑

The blessing & a curse of our generation…

Having access to all different information,
Researches that have come further then ever before,
Being self-aware…

But one thing is sure.
We got it 💪
Together.
Collectively…

We are raising a healthier generation because of the information we have today & choices we make based on that ❤️

Double tap if you agree ❤️

All the,

“Mommy look!”
“Daddy, come do puzzles with me”
“Mommy, let’s play house”
“Daddy, sit here with me”

And then all the,
“Yes sweetie, I just have to finish up this”
“Coming soon, give me 5 min”
“Not right now honey, gotta do this first”
“Can’t you see I’m in the middle of this” 🤦‍♀️

Just feel it’s actually completely unnecessary to even be in this situation.
And the feelings we sit with as parents, because of a system that wasn’t made up for us to succeed and feel mastery, on the contrary- only makes us feel like we’re failing at something, at all times.

At this point you either have to accept it’s okay for the house to be a mess - just go be with your kid.
Or, it’s okay she has to spend some time watching cartoons because you have to finish cleaning.

My heart breaks every time I have to say “no” because of tasks that could have, should have been done other times then during that little time we actually have together.

So, all I can say, until we’re in a different situation: be kind with yourself.
But don’t give up on the hope that another outcome is possible and go after it if what you have today - makes your heart cringe.

I know I’m working on making this situation better,
but if any of you have tips on how you deal with this dilemma in the meantime,
I’m open to suggestions in the comments 🤗
Thank you!
