This Popular Dutch Saying Changed My Life
Let Riselle know you're listening My father introduced me to this Dutch saying: "Nee, heb je. Ja, kan je krijgen." And it literally translates to: You already have a "No" but you could get a "Yes". If you never try, the answer will always be No. By trying and by failing you could make it into a Yes. If you were waiting for permission, my friend, let this be it. Let this be the motivation you need to say "Yes" to your dreams and to creating the life you want for yourself. In ...

In this episode, I break down why we judge too fast, why we argue, and how empathy can change the way we m...

Why Getting Triggered Is A Gift
Let Riselle know you're listening In this episode, I am talking about triggers and why they are not the enemy. We love to blame other people for how we feel, but the truth is, if something triggers you, it is showing you something that still needs your attention. Every reaction is a mirror. And when we react without thinking, we give our power away. I share how to pause instead of react, how to get curious instead of defensive, and why your next trigger might actually be telling you something...
