Personal Blog Posts

Being a solopreneur can feel quite lonely. So can being a mother, a product person, a highly-sensitive individual… I made it my mission to bridge the gap between my professional and my private life to show up as authentically and whole-heartedly as I can, inviting others to connect with me from human to human. In this section you can check out extracts from my personal newsletter «Tanja’s Butterflies».

To follow my product-related writing, I recommend subscribing to my Substack blog Learning Organisation. Some of my articles can also be found in the section Publications & Templates.

Dear 2022

It’s been quite a ride. While the world was struggling to get back to what we once knew to be normal, I was finally getting comfortable with being odd, off and peculiar, with feeling all the feelings. Fed up with being worried about any sort of competition, I slowly started carving my way back to feeling unique. Not in a presumptuous way, more in the way we all are unique once we find our spot and stop overwriting our true nature with some sort of social consensus. For the truest version of ourselves, there really is no competition out there. For me, this process involves a lot of writing. My writing has always been dead serious to me. And this year, I finally got serious about...

It’s been the third time now that I start the new year with 30 days of yoga practice. Not with the primary intention of becoming fitter, more flexible or to shape my body in a specific way. Rather to remind myself that when I really set an intention, I am able to carve out 30 minutes a day to make it happen - even and especially on days that feel like there is not a minute left to even brush my teeth. I show up for myself every day, and it really means something to me every time. I myself am definitely not particularly good at yoga. My tree is shaky, my down dog curved and my crane keeps crashing...

Just a few pounds less to finally wear that pair of jeans.Just a couple more grand on your savings account to start your sabbatical. Your new business. Your early retirement. Just a tad more work experience to ask for that promotion. Just a bit more talent to sing in public. Join that dance class. Write that book. Just a few more years until the kids are older to re-claim your life.Just a little more certainty to marry your partner. A little less worries to start that new chapter of your life. ************* Who would you be if you were no longer afraid of not being ready? What would you do differently if you considered yourself enough - right now? What if we were to start the new year less focused on how to improve, but more...

Good-bye 2021, hello 2022! Opting in – opting out

Chasing butterflies – this is what I set out to do in 2021. Not the easiest thing to accomplish during a global pandemic… And I wouldn’t even dare to say I’m half way there, but the intent really matters and in hindsight I’m glad this was the mantra I set for myself this year. It has become a constant reminder that what I am really looking for is a life filled with joy and moments when I’m deeply connected to myself, the world and the people I care about. A reminder to spot opportunities to rejoice and to not take life too seriously all the time. Serendipity is something an open mind can encounter – even in a year like this one. Here are my biggest...

Ready to die

My parents are ready to die. And I truly appreciate it. Don't get me wrong: They are in good health, and I am looking forward to spending decades with them. But they took care of everything - and as much as I hate to think about the day they are going to leave this world, at least they will not leave us with bank accounts we can't access, passwords we need to guess, storage rooms packed with piles of crap or - most importantly - doubts on how they would like things to be handled when the time has come. I can't thank them enough for being so thoughtful and proactive about everything that needs to be taken care of - I know for a...
