Why Cycle Syncing Won’t be a Billion $ Industry, but Female Anatomy Party Games will be

The Future of Sex Ed is Called Boob Blurbing — When I was 14, I had my last sex-ed class. At that point, the closest I’d come to an understanding of female anatomy was labelling where ovaries were on a low-resolution fill-in-the-blank image of female genitalia for a health test in school. Most sex-ed curriculum is about the act of…

The Wetter, The Better.

How Dehydration, Hypothermia and Lightning Changed my Life — I held my water bottle filled with bleach with one of my hands. I was attempting to keep my raincoat over my head with the other. But it was all pointless anyway; I was wet to a new extreme. Even after hours of hunching in a kinda-squat position, the storm…

You can’t pee on your problems to solve them.

But there are other things you can do. — I once had a (virgin) mojito, and it lead to the most excruciating pain of my life. I still have nightmares about lime, soda water and sugar. I was 12 and in Cuba for a family vacation. The great thing about Cuban-all-inclusive-resorts is the ability to exploit the free drinks…

77 Things That Can Completely Change Your Life

Actions to take to become happier, more productive and kind. — How you train is how you perform. I love this quote. If you snooze your alarm every morning, you’re not going to become better at waking up without an alarm. If you’re unkind to the people around you, you won’t become kinder. If you’re always late to hand in assignments, you’re not going to become better at…

Why I walked for 12 hours. Marathon Training? A dare? No, Empathy.

My friend and I tried walking really far to develop empathy for people who need to walk far distances for life necessities, healthcare or safety. — I’m working on emm.health, so the issue of maternal health care has been top-of-mind. The other day my friend and I wanted to walk really far. It was to try to develop empathy for women in rural Sub-Saharan Africa who walk hours roundtrip to receive care for their pregnancies. It…

Philosophical Tacos

Reflections on hosting a philosophical tacos night: food-for-eat and food-for-thought — An Endless Sky Feeding people is my form of relaxation. Unfortunately, my Balkan roots make me a bit of a crazy woman when it comes to hosting. I try to do a bit of everything (think: 10 meal options, 6 drink varieties, 4 deserts, and so forth… for 5 people over). …

Risking my ‘school’ for my education

2 weeks before grade 11, I withdrew from high school. I had no plan, just a desire for a bolder education. To see and *actually* do things in the world. I was on a houseboat in Amsterdam, living and working with the daughter of the godfather of lab-grown meat. A…

You’re a podcast:

A mental model to think about yourself, your strengths and how you want to impact the world. — I was listening to a stellar podcast and shared it with a friend. Typically I share podcasts and friends say: oh my gosh, it’s 2 hours long! To which I respond: it’s 1 hour on 2x speed. The day I discovered 2x speed, Sept 30th, 2018, was a day so…
