Get unstuck.
Do You Recognize These Patterns?
→ You Feel Different or Out of Place
You're fun and kind, yet find it hard to really connect with people on stuff you care about. You know there's more in you than the life you're living now but you're not sure how to bring it out.
→ You Feel Intensely
It's hard to let anything go. Whether it's a comment you made in 2008, or an off-hand remark by a colleague. A ticking clock or clothing label derails you while no one else seems to notice.
→ Impossible Standards for Yourself
You set the bar impossibly high and then beat yourself up for not reaching it - even for simple tasks. You procrastinate on things you care about most because anything less than perfect feels like failure.
→ Your Mind Never Stops
You overthink everything, yet somehow still feel directionless. Others seem to make decisions easily while you're analyzing every angle. But if there's no intellectual challenge - you zone out.
Just Found Out Your Child is Gifted?
This might explain some things about you too.
Since giftedness often runs in families, many adults learn about their own complex minds when their children are identified. If your child's patterns feel familiar - the intensity, the overthinking, the feeling "different" - you might be on your own journey of discovery.
My Journey
Hey, I’m Marijn.I help people get unstuck by finding alignment between their values and their actions.For years, my work in innovation and impact gave me purpose. But my mind was always running ahead to what could be next. I set high standards and rarely paused long enough to feel satisfied. That quiet restlessness kept building until it became impossible to ignore. I felt stuck.Through my children, I began to see the pattern. Each of them is curious, sensitive, and races ahead of the curriculum, often feeling misunderstood. Supporting them helped me recognize my own wiring: the depth, the drive, the perfectionism, and the need for things to make sense on every level.That realization changed everything. I began to see how awareness, structure, and self-compassion could turn that friction into flow. That’s the foundation of my work today.Now I help others do the same. Together we uncover the root patterns behind their restlessness and find their way back to clarity, ease, and genuine fulfillment.Ready to transform friction into flow?
