What do you do when life challenges you?
For me, the answer was to fight back, find new paths, and create a life with meaning and balance...
Several years ago, I hit a wall when I was diagnosed as a chronic pain patient due to accidents and fractures – my nervous system had become sensitized.
The chief doctor at the Pain Clinic gave me a choice: strong medication or mindfulness.
I chose mindfulness, and that became the start of a journey that changed my life.
Over time, I managed to completely leave the treatment system and create a life with much better balance and meaning – and I am no longer a chronic pain patient.
It became my mission to help others navigate life’s challenges.
For me, well-being is about creating balance between what is important. I am Mette first, a mother second, and then comes the rest. If I’m not Mette first, I can’t be the mother I want to be for my boys.
I’ve learned how important it is to prioritize my time and energy. Like many others, I’ve tried to stretch myself too far to meet other people's expectations. I recognize the signs of burnout, and I’ve kissed stress. Twice. But when I truly learned to take leadership over my own life, things changed.
Since 2014, I’ve had 6,000 individual conversations and helped people rise from stress, anxiety, and struggles.
But my vision has grown – I don’t just want to help people find their footing again, I want to give them the tools to fly freely.
That’s why I wrote the stress book, Frøen i gryden, created the online courses Stress hjælp 2.0 and Mini-kursus i angst, made free meditations – and most recently published the book Den døde ligusterhæk about stress factors in our private lifes.
Life will always present challenges.
But with the right tools, the right mindset, and inner leadership, we can go from surviving to living fully
