Marieke about the book (1 minute video)

"It's not what you think, but what you do, that is going to get you through"

That's what I found out on my own, accidental journey through severe anxiety and depression. So when I was in full bloom once again (against all odds may I say) - I made a decision: I would develop a book just for me, with all things that actually WORKED, so I could always help myself if I would EVER hit this cloud again.

It became:

’Cause reading is often justsimply impossible with a head full of thoughts!

Full of all the tips, tricks, activities, and stories that truly helped me back on my feet.

For all your notes and thoughts, ‘cause this is your journey.

"Dear Marieke, just a short message to say thank you. Thank you SO much for making this book. Every time I felt alone, I’d read a comforting story, or some lovely words, or something that made me realise you’d gone through the same thing. Thank you so much! Your book was my best friend on my journey!"

Private message Anne

"Wow! What a lovely book! Straight from the heart, full of love, encouraging, positive (even though it's about a negative situation), lovingly inspiring, and with plenty of practical exercises and tips. I would definitely recommend this book, even if you're not experiencing a severe burnout. Thank you!"

Vicky

“Finally, a book that helps me through the days I don't see my psychologist. Nobody talks about this, but Marieke does! A lovely book for people that can use the extra support during times of burnout
and depression!"

Lotte

"I've gifted the book to a friend that
went through rough times. She's really thankful and likes the honest and authentic way it's written. She recognised many situations and thoughts. The combination of powerful words and exercises gave her a great deal of support.

Even though I'm not suffering from depression, I've ordered more books for myself and my teams at work as it's so positive I can recommend it to anyone."

Hugo (CEO)

"I recommend this colourful book for times when you'd like to feel happier. It starts with the cover! I've recommended the book in my professional career as psychologist. I'm a fan!"

Saskia Geraerts (Dutch psychologist - for biggest radio show)

about me

Hi, I'm Marieke! An optimistic, adventurous, marketing manager, illustrator, creative, do-gooder, and a happy dreamer of course!… Until suddenly I wasn't all that anymore. In the summer of 2015 - while I had my dream job and was super happy living with my husband Lars in Australia - I fell into a cloud of anxiety, fear and panic. The situation was urgent and we had to decide to move back to The Netherlands.

There I was, with anxiety, a deep depression, burn-out, or whatever you’d like to call it. Without any idea or hope how I would ever get out if this mess. Or even worse, I was absolutely certain I would never feel better again. The end of an adventure? The end of Marieke? Or was it a new beginning? Read More

"This is not just another book, it's priceless. I didn't believe it myself at first, but this book has helped me more than my previous 11 practicioners. Thank you so so much" (reader Livia on Facebook)
