I continue my story. Talking about abductions, kidnapping, sexual assault, our subconscious, online dating addiction and more. Most of all pushing back on the rhetoric that the victim is to blame for the actions of the perpetrator.

Continuing my story. This episode talks about stalking, the cops, manipulation, narcissism and more.

Unblocking patriarchal programming, relationship history, abuse, jealousy, looping behaviour, pressure to have kids, saviour complex, breaking the matrix.

Bad New Years Eves, owning the media, shadow banning, community, upcoming episodes, reprogram. Covering a lot of ground in this short episode :)

The dark story of my absolute worst New Year's Eve - perfect for a gloomy January 1st. Episode also talks about why I stopped celebrating NYE, about being programmed with a saviour complex as a woman, about abuse and neglect, death, car accidents, bank robberies and more. All trigger warnings. This is part one and all I could do in one take. More to come if you like it. <3

I dette afsnit svarer jeg på følgende spørgsmål: Oplever du, at dine værker i forskellige materialer løfter hinanden, og er det en fordel, du har flere forskellige produkter at tilbyde? Hvordan prissætter du dine værker? Hvordan kom du i gang med din virksomhed? Hvad er din baggrund? Hvem ser du som din kundegruppe? - og hvordan rammer du denne gruppe? (PR, medier …) Hvilke gode råd har du til en nystartet, som gerne vil kunne drive forretning i den 'kunstneriske' verden? Hvilken udfordringer er der ved at producere i flere forskellige materialer? Her er hvad spørgeren svarede: Jeg kunne ikke have mere glad og taknemmelig, fordi det rørte mig meget at høre dig fortælle om din rejse og din måde at skabe på. Det kan godt være lidt ensomt når man ikke kender andre som arbejder på samme måde og jeg kunne genkende mig selv i dine ord. Det var meget inspirerede at høre og jeg vil tage den frem og lytte til når jeg tvivler på det er okay at gøre det som gør mig glad. <3 PS. Jeg holder en gratis talk i Malmö 17.11 på FormDesignCenter om samme emner.
