“I feel dumber in Dutch.” - If that hits home, this episode is for you.
So many of my clients feel like a different person when they speak Dutch. Less witty. Less confident. Less themselves.

But:
It’s not your fault. You’re not bad at languages. And you're definitely not less smart.
But you are stuck between two versions of yourself - and that “gap” can be incredibly frustrating.

In this episode, I’ll show you:
✔️ Why high-achievers struggle more with learning Dutch
✔️ How to stop trying to be your “English self” in Dutch
✔️ A simple mindset shift that creates more freedom, less pressure - and way more progress

Listen if you’re done avoiding conversations, switching to English too quickly, or hiding behind “I’m still learning.”
