When my biggest dream and toughest week collided…

My first book “HEARTFUL: Embracing the courageous journey to live a fulfilling heart-led life through the power of connection” was released on Amazon globally one year ago.

Where does the time go? 🤯

The week the book came out was a catalyst for change for me in many ways… not all easy.

Let me tell you the full story.

When I look at the picture above I see happy but very burnt out me. I never would have believed that the week my biggest dream came true would also be one of the hardest of my life.

I had my heart broken by a relationship.

I was handed a sick leave slip for burnout.

I hated being stuck in a 9-5 but kept saying, “It’s fine.”

And there I was, publishing a book about heartfulness while feeling heartbroken and burnt out in my body and soul.

What great timing, right?

Yet, it was perfect timing.

This book became my catalyst, reminding me to take another heart-led leap like I’d written about. At my book launch party, someone asked me, “How do you advise us to courageously do the brave things that scare us?”

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” I said.

In that moment, it hit me. I added: “I’m going to be honest with all of you. I got a sick slip for burnout last week. I’m in a job that has made me unhappy for months. So, I’m going to tell you that you can keep me accountable that I am going to leave.”

Often heartful living means you do the scary, leap into the unknown. In my case, it was to leave a security of a salary.

A week later, I resigned.

A month later, I was back home in Finland, healing..

And a year later?

I’m now free from the 9-5, writing this from Madrid while digital nomading and working remotely on my own terms, which has been my dream for years to do. I went all in to my own business to support individuals to live heartfully courageous lives.

Next week, I’m boarding a plane to make another dream I’ve had for half a decade come true.

Any guesses where I’m going? 😉

So, I can say my own book launch saved me and changed my life.

It can change yours, too.

This book is from my heart to yours, truly.

It’s my life philosophy—how I live and coach others to live heartfully. If you’re facing change, turmoil, heartache, or feeling lost—I wrote this book to guide you through it. To help you keep connecting and moving towards a courageous, heart-led life. To turn pain into power and purpose. To create a life where you truly belong.

Here’s what a reader shared:

“I cannot recommend this deeply personal, practical, and empowering book more! It provided the clear, evidence-based healing I needed to reconnect to myself and my heart. The content seamlessly intertwines the best of science and spirit into practical tools you can immediately apply. It’s like a gentle retreat taking you deeper into who you really are.”
