I’m Séverine Naessens. An adventurous soul that’s always looking for new experiences. I moved to Cancún, Mexico at the age of 24. I was tired of my day-to-day life in Belgium. I turned down an amazing job offer at a large international company in Brussels because I was craving an adventure.
Even though I studied business translation, I became a scuba dive instructor for several years. After a while, I realized that it was time to “grow up” and I became a consular assistant and business co-owner.
Running a digital marketing company in the early days of social media was an exciting challenge. An amazing experience that taught me about marketing, leadership, sales, and all the fine skills required to grow a company. We kept growing and had multiple employees.
Yet I started to feel a little bit off. It was harder and harder to keep up.
Then, my little girl was born, and that rocked my boat in a major way.
I juggled so many balls that I started to drop a lot of them.
I was a workaholic trying to take good care of my baby daughter AND trying to keep my marriage alive, was a recipe for disaster.
I took way too much on my plate and I crashed. My nervous system went into overload. Lashing out, short-tempered, and feeling exhausted all the time were signs that something had to change.
My marriage crumbled and I almost gave my daughter up for adoption.
I was longing for peace, for clarity, and for strength. I wanted to be a businesswoman, wife and mother at the same time. Deep down inside I knew I was able to pull this off. All I needed was to find my power, strength and bring back my joy in being a successful businesswoman and a loving mother.
Every personal and business experience became a stepping stone for growth
I made a career shift and started working in a company where I learned about psychology and mindset. This was the first step to realizing that I was the problem, instead of the outside factors in my current life. And thus my real journey began…
I started looking for the right mentors, coaches and teachers. When they crossed my path, I didn’t hesitate for one second and I took immediate action. And it changed the course of my life entirely. I learned to meditate, to tap into the infinite intelligent space for peace and inspiration. Having the skills to communicate properly, manage my time, and to set boundaries that protect my energy, was a game changer. I gained clarity on what was actually important to me instead of putting others above me.
Everything starts from within
My daughter and I were finally able to enjoy ourselves and build a solid relationship, through respectful and effective communication. In this search for my personal power I learned to ask the right questions to unleash the power within. By going through all the struggles, I ended up in the place where I feel like I belong. I’m a loving parent that runs a business without having any guilt toward my child, spouse or loved ones.
I believe in second chances
I gave myself permission to open up, give love and marriage a second chance.
Bringing all the knowledge and inner work to the table, we have created a strong family.
Our family agreements are based on respect, clarity, and communication. This in turn facilitates both the co-parenting agreements with my daughter’s dad and the involvement of my now husband as a step-parent.
We have our challenges with a teenager discovering her true identity, however, we are able to guide and support her, providing her with open communication channels for her to express her feelings, thoughts, and concerns.
Communication is everything
Being a parent is already a high-performance job, and it can be hard to juggle business and being fully present as a parent. That’s why I have made it my purpose to help other parents overcome these struggles. I am deeply grateful to all my mentors for the knowledge and wisdom shared and it has become my mission to serve you on your path to clarity, balance and joy.
Whether it is in business, in your family or people that might drain your energy, it all boils down to communication.
My obsession for communication led me to improve my relationships, businesses and being a better person in general. All the tools that I teach are the ones I implement daily in my own life.
