“For many years I’ve moved from country to country and last year - when I moved from New York City to Brighton -
I had this small idea of bringing women together.
To hold a space for each other, to connect and collaborate, to learn and to grow.
That’s how the first Creative Meetup started.
And you know what happened? There was magic in the air.
Because there’s something special about a group of women gathering together,
making real connections with each other - face to face.
It’s an unseen field of creative energy, mixed with laughter and a sense of belonging.
So I hosted more Meetups. Each in different places throughout the city.
And since Moksi means Mix, I started to mix business tools and wellbeing topics.
Soon collaborations were being made and dreams were turned into plans and actions.
Now, it’s time to lean into this season of new beginnings and grow a global community build on kindness,
with Moksi Women who are cheering each other on.
I hope you'll join us!
Because we're just getting started”.

They say, comparison is the thief of joy and this made me wonder...
Do you ever look at someone else's work and wonder why they are more successful than you? Do you think: How come she has more followers? Why is her body prettier or thinner than mine? Why is her work featured every time and mine is not? How much money does she make? She's just lucky...
Do you?

Some day - after all this is over and we are running around again in our busy lives - we'll look back at this lockdown and see the importance of slowing down.

I always say that living in New York City has thought me to Own My Story.
Well, the part of owning your story and sharing it with others online - to inspire or empower - also means that you need to be vulnerable. I'm okay with this part.

Hello Everyone,
Tomorrow, Monday March 30th, I'm hosting a 40 minutes Zoom Chat for all of you, who want to talk about moving forward - whether in your business or personal development.
"We are at our finest when we take care of each other"
As we all live in very uncertain times, due to the Corona virus spreading around the world, these last few days I've been thinking long and hard what to do regarding the Meetups…
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
DUE TO THE SPREADING OF THE CORONA VIRUS,
THIS AND OTHER MC EVENTS, ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Do you know about the P-club?
The club of Procrastination. The one club we all have walked in and stayed too long. Maybe not always - only in the periods of our lives we wanted to avoid something. We probably were having a good time, while our brain was telling us “shouldn’t you be doing this or that?”. If there was a real P-club, I would definitely be a member. Honour medal and all.
But I also know when it’s time to come out of the P-club and focus on what really matters to keep me going - my body, mind and soul.
It’s almost happening - our next Creative Meetup in Brighton will be on February 26th!
This time we are collaborating with Art Republic Gallery and the evening will take place in their beautiful gallery in the North Laines in Brighton. Art Republic is a great place to stimulate and inspire our minds for this event. Our guest speaker is the sweet and talented Rossella from Rossella Skincare and together with our two other guests, it’s going to be a mixed evening of learning, connecting and creating - all while you’re enjoying a drink and some nibbles from Luisa from Abeille Bakery.
Could I inspire others or even empower them when I have doubts myself? I thought about this for awhile, but yes - yes I can! (“oh hello Fear, here you are - again… do have a seat in the back of my mind and I’ll continue with my day, okay?”)
“When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance.”
Showing support for any small business is huge and can be the connecting dots they need to either stay in business, or simply to be seen by more people. So I’m giving away the newest print edition of the 91 magazine - which I bought at our local specialized Magazine Shop in Brighton.
