We often ask this question quietly —
am I enough?

‘When you want it but aren’t having it… shame will convince you — it’s your fault.’
— Esther Perel

A story that reaches far beyond one woman’s life

I thought this was simply who I was. It turned out to be how I had learned to survive. From the outside it worked: thirty years, a global executive career, a life that photographed well. Underneath it I was absorbing more, needing less, holding it together in public and disappearing in private. I called that resilience. It cost me my health.

That shame is where Am I Not Enough? begins. It's both intimate and universal: one woman's story, and a question almost everyone carries. Not a call to do more, but to reconnect — with your confidence, your courage, and your own worth. Because staying human starts with believing you already are enough.

From my story to a question we all carry — Am I good enough as I am?

I thought this was simply who I was.
It turned out to be how I had learned to survive.
The moment we recognise the difference —we're free to choose differently.

Book me for keynotes — three signature conversations exploring how we stay human as the world speeds up.

Work with me one-on-one — I hold space and coach you to think honestly about what's pulling you off course — and to reconnect with your confidence, courage, and humanity.

How is it that so many strong women show such vision and leadership in their work, yet struggle to set boundaries in their private lives?

This book is raw and beautifully written. Time and again I found myself thinking: Liesbeth, go! Leave! But she doesn’t. Strong women solve problems—sometimes even their partner’s. And therein lies the lesson. You can’t rescue another person. At best, you can stand beside them. So very recognizable.
