It wasn’t until late middle age that I felt ready to speak up and add my story to our collective narrative.
I have led many lives but am gradually closing in on myself. Finding my way and my voice. Becoming the person I really am, underneath the layers of my fight to “make it” in the modern world, my history as a woman in a patriarchal society, and my own family narrative. Layers so thick that they could easily have stifled my true self.
In my writings, I share my journey, my thoughts, and the expansion of my consciousness over time. I do not claim to know the truth and do not wish to give lessons to anyone. Writing is a form of activism I can sustain, instead of wearing me down I find that it gives me more energy than it takes away.
What lies behind this blog is not so much my desire to be read, as my need to allow my voice to rise into the world like a glorious yogic “Aum”. It is my contribution to the collective narrative we are weaving together at this crucial but uncertain juncture for humankind, the generations that will come after us and life on earth as a whole.
Before learning to live in harmony with myself and the world, I had many personal and professional adventures. This blog is not about my CV. Let me just say, for context, that I am French and Danish, and that the cultures, languages and landscapes of these two countries have made me the person I am today. I am and have always been a citizen of Europe first and foremost.
I read law at university and for many years, business law was my life. Following a long and rewarding stint as an entrepreneur, I became an intrapreneur and executive at a multinational. Frustrated with the inertia and lack of ambition of major corporations before the challenges of our world, I ended the active part of my career working for an NGO committed to changing the face of business.
Today, I sit on the board of a handful of pioneering companies that genuinely seek to find ways to move beyond neoliberalism and its trail of destruction, for the sake of all their stakeholders.
I will be sharing my thoughts and activism as an ecofeminist in this blog. To do my bit to help put out the fire that is destroying our world. And to challenge unhelpful patriarchal narratives and knee-jerk reactions with a wake-up call to love and action. My posts merely reflect my personal journey but if one of them resonates with you, we will have reached common ground.
