Hello my girl! 🥂This week I traveled to Amsterdam and even though I enjoyed it so much, it was really tighting my budget. I wanted to say no, but in the end when I saw my friends so excited of me going, I said yes. You can see my face few days later when I saw the airplane tickets and my realizations that the hotel is already booked 😅 Lesson learnt, but I was upset with myself: “You can say no to these invitations, what happened?”So I sat with it and firstly, of course, I spot the little people pleaser in me, we had a conversation and I believe next time I will be more present in decisions like this. But the more I sat with that, the clearer the truth became:I was not only upset because of the people pleasing, I was upset as my financial stability was threatened by my decision. And that led me to my very first lesson, when I was getting my life together. This is where getting your life together actually begins.Not with manifestation.Not with aesthetics.But with security.But with security.Which is exactly why this week’s episode goes straight for the root.Episode 3: Foundation of Freedom | 4 ways how to create a budget & finally stop survivingSeason 1: Rebuilding your foundationMonth: Breaking patternsI answer the question so many of you ask at 3 AM:“Why do I keep avoiding looking at my bank account?”And my answer?It’s the unsexy stuff.The essential stuff.The stuff that actually sets you free.Your rent paid.Your fridge stocked.Your daily rhythm that keeps you sane.Your basics, secured like a warm hug from your future self.Because you cannot create transformation from chaos.You create it from stability.And babe, stability is the biggest luxury you can give yourself.This episode is your gentle, sassy, loving wake-up call to start building a foundation that can truly hold your dreams — not just entertain them for a weekend.Don’t worry, I already created the WorkBook for you, so you can keep up with the episode, so download it on the bottom of the letter 💌And of course… you know your Parisian Moment is waiting for you at the end ✨This week’s Parisian Momentis an invitation to rediscover the magic right outside your door.A walk through your city with fresh eyes, a cute outfit, your favorite playlist, maybe a little journaling…It’s the kind of therapy that costs nothing and gives you everything.Clarity, breath, beauty, perspective.Your own world, seen anew.So, tell me, mon amour:Is your bank account scaring you more then any horror movie?

Hello Darlings 🥂Last week was wild. Ups and downs, full chaos - especially when you’re starting your own podcast. To be honest, motivation comes and goes, and it’s hard not to record five episodes at once because I’m so excited. But, as we all know, motivation is a tricky little b***h as she disappears the moment you stop watching her. Discipline, on the other hand, stays.I’ve burned out more than once chasing those waves of creative high, only to realize that nothing in life lasts unless it has a rhythm. Not speed, not hype, rhythm.And it made me wonder… isn’t that true for everything?How often do we chase pleasure, that quick high, that champagne sparkle… only to wake up the next morning flat and over it? No wonder, New Year’s resolutions vanish faster than bubbles in a glass. 😄So, here’s something for you to reflect on this week:Where in your life are you chasing motivation? And where are you building rhythm?And maybe even deeper… in your relationships, where do you go for the quick thrill with the morning hangover, and where do you move in flow, ease, and joy - all the way through the ride?We’ll dive into that second question together in my brand-new podcast episode. (The first one… we’ll save for another day, mon amour ❤️‍🔥)Because if you’ve been waiting for your life to magically fall into place, I’ll gently but firmly remind you - nah girl. It’s time to rebuild it.Oh, and stay tuned till the end. I’m sharing a new segment called “Parisian Moment.” A tiny, luxurious ritual to bring a bit of that French magic into your everyday life. Let’s just say this week’s one is bold, powerful, and unapologetically feminine.À bientôt,Vimael 💄 This is a public episode.
