you’re holding it all together


But no one sees what it’s costing you.

On the outside, you’re doing great:

You’re driven. Self-aware.
Always thinking three steps ahead.

...but no matter what you do there’s still that sense that something’s missing.

You’re craving more meaning.
More alignment. More authenticity.

And even though you're sensitive and feel so much…
you don’t always know how to express it.

You don’t like crying.
You avoid getting angry.
And sometimes feel shame around having emotions.

So instead you stay composed.
Try to make sense of it all in your head
(Hello overthinking).
And quietly carry A LOT.

You’re also incredibly tuned in to other people.
You can feel shifts in the room.
Pick up on how others are feeling.
And you often adjust yourself to avoid conflict or keep the peace.

It's exhausting.
And some days, your sensitivity feels like a weakness.

But it's not.
It’s a survival strategy you developed to feel loved, safe and accepted.

And the truth is:

You’re not broken.
You’re not too much.
You’ve just been surviving.

But you deserve more than survival.
You deserve inner freedom.

That’s the work I do.

I help sensitive high achievers build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

No pressure. No pitch.
Just a real conversation between two sensitive humans.

Much love,
Alex

But here’s what came with me: -The guilt I feel when I rest -The shame that creeps in when I say no -The overthinking after delivering a workshop -The urge to prove myself through productivity -The tension that never lets me slow down -The fear that if I stop, it’ll all fall apart These things didn’t disappear just because I changed countries. They don’t disappear when you change jobs, cities or relationship status either. But here’s what did change: How I relate to them. I’m no longer at war...

Here’s what I learnt:First lesson:Don’t believe everything you hear.Of course I didn’t eat pizza every day for 365 days.Why? Because I LOVE pizza.The reason I love it so much is because of the days where I don’t get to eat pizza.If I ate it every day it would lose its value. Same goes for happiness.If you felt it all the time, it wouldn’t feel like happiness anymore.It would just feel… normal.Joy needs contrast.Peace needs chaos.And happiness needs sadness/fear/anger to mean anything at...

I’ve coached over 250 sensitive high achievers, who think if they just plan better, they’ll finally feel at peace. Take Matt, a high performer in a leadership role. He was always thinking ten steps ahead. He felt responsible for everything running smoothly. But instead of trusting himself.He tried to control every outcome.Thinking it would finally give him peace of mind. But here’s the truth: We are limited human beings in a world of limitless possibilities. Controlling every outcome is...
