Nineteen enterprising women gathered at Galerie Artichoque last night.

Professionals who are in the prime of their lives, who carry, lead, fall, get back up, and choose their own path again.

There was something very special in that room. A kind of undercurrent of recognition. Of: I see you, I hear you, I understand what it takes to stay strong every day.

Mirjam Schroeder set the tone. She spoke openly and candidly about her entrepreneurial journey. No sugarcoating. Just the rough edges, the doubts, the moments when you almost give up. The audience listened intently. And it was precisely there, in that raw and authentic moment, that the most beautiful conversations arose. The wine helped a little. So did the dinner. But above all, it was the connection that did the trick.

The reason for this gathering was the launch of De Relatiearchitecten (The Relationship Architects). A partnership between Marjon Habets, divorce lawyer and mediator for complex divorces, Barbara Spauwen as financial planner, and myself for the emotional foundation.

Three perspectives, one mission: supporting women in their next level of power.

Because what we still encounter is that financial awareness is still not a given for many women. Even though it is key. To freedom. To choices. To balance.

We continue to build. We inform. We bring people together. We strengthen.

The first cases have already been launched. And if this evening demonstrated anything, it is this: when women support each other, something happens that extends beyond the moment itself. It has a lasting effect. It makes a difference.
