Formate wie Lifebook helfen mir dabei, Struktur in mein Leben zu bringen

Quick summary

After losing her mother to cancer and facing years of struggle as an actress, Karoline found her way back to life through conscious healing work. Now a mother herself, she uses Lifebook to create structure, define her values, and embrace life as a beautiful challenge.

Translated from German by AI. Karoline wrote this story in German.

Hello you lovely people out there! So I'm excitedly trying to "fulfil" something here and I'm looking forward to the challenge of keeping my story short&snappy for me and for you!

First of all I'm just glad that this format LIFEBOOK crossed my path. It's built so intelligently and John is such a lovable person, thank you once again at this point! Thank you for the structure, the content and the "having to define" and GETTING CLEAR! xoxoxo

My life is one single hero's journey, just as every life is sacred and unique. It tells of a brave person who got back up again and again and slowly but surely became her own harbour! :)

Even ten years ago I always used to say: "When this here (life) is over, I'll be glad to see the back of it!" And even today I'm not tremendously attached to it, I admit. I was never suicidal, but after the long suffering of my mother (5 years a cancer patient) and her early death (58 years), life no longer really made sense to me, as a 23-year-old! "What for anyway, since we're going to die anyway!!!?" After 5 years there was a big devastating fire in the storage facility where I had stored all our things! So here too this kind of "forced catharsis" was a heavy blow of fate and at the same time a great master of "not holding on to anything anymore"! In parallel I walked the path of a professional actress who was just "never enough!" Under constant criticism, great pressure and little support I lost more and more my self-confidence, my self-worth anyway, and on top of all that, without the loving harbour of a mother: it was a rocky road, I can tell you! After a 10-year era of grief work, arduous self-assertion, therapies and healing journeys, I emancipated myself from the neediness of finding the longed-for support on the outside and shed, like a snake, the old skin from me! I quit, let everything go! I was doing better and better and I was ready for a new life and... got pregnant! :) Today, after years of consciousness work, of constantly training to walk through each day as mindfully and guided as is at all possible, I can say:

I love life and I am grateful, so grateful for this journey!

My daughter will soon be 4 and is such an alert and brave being! Besides, because the challenges don't stop, of course, last year I proved to myself and the world that even a separation (with the father, obviously) can go amicably, with dignity, - and respectfully! Because there are few to no good examples of that, right ?!

Formats like LIFEBOOK help me bring structure into my life and mirror my worth back to me, what I stand for, what I need and where my boundaries are! Life has now become a great challenge for me, my body my home and my consciousness my guide!

THANK YOU, YOU OUT THERE, IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR! That honours and touches me and it also shows that you are an empathetic, open-minded seeker who, similar to me, has decided on self-responsibility and love as the cornerstones of their life! THANK YOU!! We'll keep at it, yeah !! :)) CELEBRATE YOURSELF :). All my love Karoline * (of course I'd be happy to get a few lines from you) xoxoxo
