Marcelle
Co-Founder
It was the end of November, and something shifted. A realisation crept in — slow and then all at once — that the man I had opened my heart to online didn't exist. Not really. The connection, the plans, the feeling that my life was finally moving forward again — it had all been a carefully constructed illusion. And I had given him money to keep it alive.
I remember sitting with that truth and thinking: how did I do that? How did I make him more important than me?
That question — and the long, painful journey to answer it — is why I do the work I do today.
Jolanda
Co-Founder - face of our Redesign and Re-empower doors
I have always been ambitious, but for a long time, I measured success through money and achievement. My career began in auditing at Ernst & Young, but I soon realised that what truly energized me was not the numbers, but the people and the connections around me.
My journey through IKEA, leadership, communication and change management introduced me to NLP and the world of self-development. Reading Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits made me realise that I had been climbing the ladder — but against the wrong wall. That insight changed the direction of my life. I retrained as a coach and began choosing a path that aligned with who I truly am.
Today, I coach and train leaders and support women who are ready to move beyond what looks good on paper and create a life that genuinely fits them.
