In this solo episode, I take you with me through the emotional journey of selling my parents’ 111-year-old house — the home of my childhood, the place where so many memories still lived in the walls. What began as a complicated family situation became a powerful lesson in trust, communication, and inner strength.
I share how I navigated the shifting decisions within my family, how I learned to stay grounded even when pushed or doubted, and how intuition guided every step of the process. You’ll hear how the buyers’ group formed, how a calm and respectful communication flow kept everything moving, and how my inner work allowed me to stay centered during challenging moments.
This episode is about more than selling a house. It’s about letting go, standing in your truth, and allowing life to unfold when you stop forcing and start trusting your own vision. It’s a reminder that your inner work always pays off — especially in those quiet moments when you choose clarity over fear.

In this solo episode, I speak openly about those mornings when we wake up feeling heavy, disoriented, or low — especially in winter when the days are grey and the light seems far away in Switzerland.
I share my personal experience returning from two sunny weeks in Egypt to the cold, rainy winter, and how this contrast can trigger old emotional patterns. I also talk about the challenging year behind me, including the passing of my mother and supporting my grieving father, and how these experiences sometimes surface in the early hours of the day.
In this episode, you will learn:
I also share a small real-life story that happened while preparing this episode — a reminder that compassion and connection can change our emotional landscape in a moment.

Have you ever sat among people and still felt completely alone?That happened to me recently. Everyone was laughing and talking, and I sat there in silence — tired, unable to connect, and full of self-judgment.
A voice inside told me I didn’t belong, that something was wrong with me because no one talked to me. But instead of running from that feeling, I stayed with it. I realized that the pain came from within — from the fear of not being seen or loved.
In this episode, I talk about how we can face these moments without turning against ourselves. How we can stop judging our quietness, our tiredness, or our need for connection.It’s about learning to stay true to ourselves even when fear whispers that we don’t belong.
And if you feel ready to open up and free yourself from fear or old self-doubt, I invite you to book a free one-on-one coaching call with me. Sometimes, talking about what we’ve never dared to say out loud is the first step to peace.
It’s your time to heal — book now

Esther shares a personal story from a shopping trip in Turkey that turned into an unexpected lesson in self-worth and intuition.
When a simple visit to a leather shop ended with pressure, confusion, and a “little doll” comment, Esther began to realize how easily we can lose our inner voice when we want to belong.
She reflects on why saying “no” can be an act of love, how shame can become a teacher, and how people who trigger us often mirror the parts of ourselves that long for balance.
This episode invites you to pause before saying yes — and to rediscover the quiet strength that comes from listening to your heart.

In this personal episode, Esther opens her heart about what it meant to grow up as “the strong one” — the child who was expected to understand, to hold it together, and to need less. She shares how this pattern followed her into adulthood, helping her survive her divorce and raise her two sons, but later limiting her in relationships where she longed for emotional balance and softness.
Esther reflects on how strength can become both a shield and a prison — and how real healing begins when we allow ourselves to be fragile, to receive care, and to be loved for who we are, not for how much we can handle.
At the end of the episode, Esther offers listeners the opportunity to connect with her for one-on-one coaching — a gentle and empowering space to release old patterns and step into a freer, more authentic version of yourself. Book it here:

In this personal episode, Esther opens her heart and shares a journey that has shaped her over the past seven years — the journey of being single, of rediscovering her worth, and of learning what love truly means when it comes from within.
After years of independence and strength as a single mom, Esther realized something profound: being strong is beautiful, but being soft is transformative.
At a Tony Robbins event, surrounded by thousands of people, she had a powerful awakening — one that made her see her role not just as a woman, but as a mother, a role model, and a mirror for her two sons.
In this episode, you’ll hear
why being single can be the most sacred time of self-discovery,
The moment Esther understood that healing herself means healing generations
How masculine and feminine energies can become unbalanced — and how to restore harmony
Why vulnerability is not weakness but the birthplace of love
Esther speaks with raw honesty and compassion — about growing up between a strong father and a fragile mother, about wearing the armor of “the strong woman,” and about the courage it takes to finally lay it down.
This episode is an invitation to every woman who has ever felt she needed to do it all alone. It’s for the strong ones who long to feel held again. It’s for the hearts that are ready to open — slowly, softly, bravely. Because love isn’t lost. It’s always been there — quietly waiting for you to open the door.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my father. After my mother passed away earlier this year, he became bitter, negative, and often unkind to me. People told me it was dementia, that there was no hope for change. For weeks, I called and visited him, but each encounter left me heartbroken.
And then, something shifted. As we carried his books into the elderly home, I discovered how much we shared — the love of art, languages, and philosophy. Soon, my father began reading again. Slowly, he grew sharper, kinder, and more joyful.
In this episode, I talk about how books helped bring my father back to life, how our relationship transformed once more, and why I now believe: it is never too late to hope. Even when everything looks lost, change is always possible.
P.S. If you’re navigating your own family challenges and long for guidance, I’m here. I offer one-on-one sessions where I support you with tools and presence to help you move forward with more lightness and hope.

In this episode, Esther shares a deeply personal story from her time as a crew member at Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within event in Cologne. When a conflict with catering staff triggered old wounds of “not being good enough,” she found herself back in tears, reliving painful moments from her corporate past.
But through the support of a Tony Robbins trainer, she discovered something powerful: that no one else can define her worth.
Esther reflects on the challenges of people-pleasing, the longing for approval, and the freedom that comes when we finally realize our value comes from within. She offers practical tools to anchor self-worth and invites listeners to shift old stories of unworthiness into healing and strength.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt “not enough” at work or in life—and longs to step into their true worth.

Have you ever noticed that a friendship which once felt good suddenly no longer nourishes you? It can be painful to admit, but friendships also have seasons.
In this episode, I share my own personal experience of realizing that the people I spent time with last year no longer felt aligned. At first, I felt confused and even guilty. But with time, I understood: it wasn’t about being cold or unkind — I had grown, and the connection no longer reflected who I am today.
This episode will help you recognize when it’s time to let go of a friendship, how to do it without guilt, and how to honor the beauty of what was while creating space for new, more authentic connections.
Tune in and let this episode guide you as you navigate the changes in your own relationships.

In this episode, I open up about a challenging family situation that arose while clearing out my parents’ home after my mother’s passing and my father’s move to an elderly home. What should have been a process of sharing memories became a source of tension, disappointment, and hurt.
Instead of staying trapped in anger or continuing the cycle of reacting and counter-reacting, I explore how to step back, process the emotions, and choose a different response. Through meditation, journaling, and silence, I found my way back to calm and forgiveness.
This story isn’t about blame—it’s about learning how to break old family patterns and becoming a role model for the next generation. It’s about showing our children that even when we feel deeply hurt, we can choose peace, forgiveness, and love, and carry light into our families.

I share my story of growing up in what I thought was a “normal” family—no divorce, no drama, no visible illness. Yet beneath the surface, there was a profound lack of emotional support and unconditional love.
My mother struggled with untreated depression, my parents were emotionally immature, and I spent years feeling unseen, ashamed, and unworthy of love. I believed I was a bad person because I didn’t feel the love I needed from them, and I was often told I wasn’t grateful enough.
Through therapy and self-reflection, I began to understand the emotional poverty I grew up in. I learned how important it is to acknowledge our feelings, to stop carrying shame, and to start loving ourselves deeply and unconditionally.
If you’ve ever felt that your family wasn’t “broken enough” to deserve healing, or if you struggle with feelings of unworthiness despite a seemingly normal childhood, this episode is for you.
Together, we explore how to break free from old beliefs, celebrate your worth, and invite authentic love into your life—starting with the love you give yourself.

We’ll explore: 💫 Why people-pleasing feels safer than being authentic 💫 How to recognize when old wounds are triggered 💫 Simple ways to start seeing and loving yourself daily

The other day, I caught myself doing it again… I was sitting at a restaurant with my father, and while I smiled and asked if he liked the menu, if he was warm enough, if he was comfortable in his chair… I realized something.
I never once asked myself:
“Esther, are you okay?”
“Do you like where you’re sitting?”
“Is this moment feeding your heart too?”
In my 121st solo episode, I’m diving deep into a truth I’ve uncovered: I’m still a people pleaser. Even after all the bold choices I’ve made in my life.
I chose journalism over teaching. I lived in Paris, in the States, and I moved to Zürich when my father said I shouldn’t. And yet… I’ve still put my dreams on hold for others.
Especially the one dream that hasn’t let go of me: To live abroad again. Not just visit. But live. To rediscover who I am when I’m not someone’s caregiver, not someone’s daughter, not someone’s helper… just me.
But then those old voices come in: You can’t go now.
In this episode, I share:
How people pleasing still sneaks into our lives
The dream I nearly buried forever
5 powerful ways to start living authentically today
I also open up an invitation for you to work with me. Because maybe you're in a moment where you want to change, but you don’t want to walk alone. I would be honored to be your coach. Together, we’ll listen to the voice of your soul and take the steps that your heart longs for.

Have you ever sat at a table full of people… smiling, nodding, sipping coffee—and yet, deep inside, you felt unseen? Like no one really knows you anymore?
That kind of loneliness isn’t loud. It doesn’t scream. It just quietly aches in the heart—especially when old friendships no longer feel like home.
I’ve been there. And I know that maybe… you have too.
In this episode, I’m opening up about:
The quiet grief of friendships that no longer nourish you
The loneliness that can exist even within a group
The deeper connections we’re truly longing for
A personal story from my Saturday mornings at the swimming club
How my bond with my sons has changed—beautifully
The kind of friendships I now hope for, and how to welcome them
A few gentle reflection questions for your heart
A small, loving action you can take this week to feel less alone
This episode is for you if you’ve been craving truth, depth, and connection—without having to shrink yourself. Let this be your soft place to land today. And if someone comes to mind—someone who might need this too—please feel free to share it. We are not meant to do life alone.
