The Year Of You
Set an end to overwhelm, indecisiveness and self-doubt and start living a liberated, joyful and confident life.
Why do you need to make this the year of you?
People Pleasing
You’re constantly overwhelmed by your responsibilities and never feel enough just for a single one of them.
You never feel like you can be completely yourself. It’s like you always have to shape-shift to be liked by the person you’re with.
When you’re criticized you become defensive and reactive, losing your centre.
Overwhelm
You hustle every day to serve others and end up exhausted and unable to do even just one thing that’s only for you by the end of the day.
It’s not excitement that gets you out of bed in the morning but a sense of responsibility.
You suffer from physical ailments that are likely a result of too much stress: insomnia, indigestion or hyper sensitive digestion, fatigue, over- or underweight.
Defeat
When you look at your life through the eyes of your younger self, you feel disappointment and resentment.
In the quiet moments, you think to yourself: “Isn’t there more to life than this?”
You want to be a positive example for your children but are afraid they’ll actually end up like you right now.
Do you really want to waste another one of your precious years people-pleasing, physically and mentally unwell and lacking all the joy, meaning and connection that are waiting for you?
12 Monthly Themes
01 - Vision/Intention 2022
What’s your intention for 2022? Become crystal clear about what you want to make a priority this year and why. Learn to listen deeply within instead of to the world around you.
07 - Abundance
In the spirit of pleasure & joy, the following month we’ll dive deeper into abundance. They often go hand-in-hand and this month we’ll create more space internally for life to be fuller and richer than ever before.
02 - Be well
Your physical body is a response system to how well you live in tune with what you need. In the second month of Year Of You, we learn simple tools and practices to figure out what’s wrong and how to stay centred and well.
03 - Your own Worst enemy?
Often, it’s not so much the world around us that keeps us small, but the beliefs of that world that we have internalized. How do you talk to yourself? When do you talk yourself down? In the third month of The Year Of You, we’re going to become painfully honest with ourselves.
04 - Overwhelm
With people-pleasing and not trusting yourself most often comes overwhelm. As long as you measure your worthiness with the approval you receive from other people, the overwhelm will never stop. This month, we look at how to deal with overwhelm and what’s underneath it.
05 - Boundaries
We have a whole month dedicated to exploring and strengthening your relationship to boundaries. When do you say “yes” when you actually want to say “no”? We’ll deeply reframe your relationship to boundaries and how they serve not only you but also the people around you.
06 - Pleasure & Joy
When was the last time you allowed yourself to indulge in pleasure and joy? To continually make 2022 the Year Of You, it’s time to make space for some fun and lightness. We’ll look at blocks that come up when approaching the lighter side of life and how to create more space in your everyday life to indulge.
08 - Your own best friend!
How can you support yourself the way you support your best friend? There’s a part of you inside that only wants the best for you and we’re going to spend a whole month shining the light on that part.
09 - Connection
A life that is joyful and expansive has a lot to do with your inner world, but not only. This month, we look at the connections in your life, how to call in people and relationships that support you in your boldest dreams and how to show up unapologetically as yourself in relationships.
10 - Happiness
What does it take to live a happy life? While we have only limited influence on what happens around us, there is a lot we can do to approach life with a sense of joy and a deep inner resiliency. This month is all about building that inner reservoir for when times get tough.
11 - Choosing You
What does it mean to choose you? What are the small and big decisions in your life that you need to make? No longer shaped by what the world expects of you but deeply in touch with your true nature, we explore tools and practices and support each other in choosing your very own path, over and over again.
12 - Vision
With this Year Of You coming to a close, it’s time to reflect on the journey, celebrate who you’ve become and the many steps you took on that journey. It’s also time to check back in with your vision from the beginning of the year, yourself and what the next Year Of You should look like for you.

No, any and all genders welcome.
Can an online community be as good as an in-person one?
100%. When I first signed up for an online container myself, I didn’t believe that the level of accountability, connection, and vulnerability of it could be even remotely as good as an in-person one. But you’ll be surprised about the depth that this container can provide.
Can you guarantee specific results?
No. I fully believe in this offering and what it can do for you and I have seen folks step up into life on their own terms time and time again when I worked with them. However, you set your intention and you put in how much or how little energy you want.

Hi, I’m Saskia.
I’m an empowerment and meditation coach and I help people pleasers start living liberated, joyful and confident lives on their own terms through heart-centred meditation and lasting mindset shifts.
After leaving a job behind that sucked the life out of me I started to follow joy, embrace my unique qualities and stepped up to become the person I always wanted to be.
People love the safe spaces I created for them to dive deep. I pride myself in not bringing any judgement into the self-development containers I offer and instead a whole lot of compassion and life-changing questions.
Early on as a child, I learnt that following my own needs and putting them first was “selfish” and condemned. Through my own inner work, I was able to undo this and change into a person who puts her well-being first without guilt. I’m a recovering people-pleaser myself!
I went on a trip around the world although the people whose loving permission I was craving the most never gave it to me.
I left a business that was making me ill at a point in time when almost every person in my life condemned this decision as “stupid” and “selfish” - and it was the best decision I ever made.
During transformational retreats and women’s circles I hosted, countless women felt empowered to speak up about what they truly desired.
I don’t do mindless affirmations or make people wrong for not being able to prioritize their well-being - I show people processes that work from deep within instead.
I live my life in service to other people. AND I put my own well-being first because I know that this is the only way to be of better service to others. And you get to experience that, too.
I studied hundreds of hours in modalities like yoga, meditation, breath practices, subconscious work and facilitation.
The spaces I create are first and foremost spaces of permission: Permission to be scared of what it means for your life and your relationships when you make 2022 your Year Of You. Permission to feel and express all the emotions, from excitement, sadness, grief, anger to frustration and beyond. Permission to brag and celebrate. Permission to fall apart. Permission to ask for support. Permission to reject any advice. Permission to be the way you are, right now at this moment.
