Madelene

Tell us what you’d like us to know about yourself:

My name is Madelène, and I live in Zandvoort in The Netherlands. I am a mother of two kids, a son and a daughter. I always have been a hard worker with many ideas and a bit of restlessness in my character. I feel like I’m currently going through a fundamental transformation. As is the whole world. Not only am I feeling the first signs of menopause, but mentally I have made a significant shift.

Some things are just not that important anymore. In contrast, other things like doing something that really matters to other people now seem way more important. I have always felt the need for a big and passionate life. I would love to inspire people to be less judgemental. Teach people not to have such strong opinions on others and make blindspots that we all have more visible. Walk a mile in somebody else’s shoes… And to just love each other, I refuse to let us be divided. We are all one. Please remember that people! I am a feminist and have been very active in empowering women, both in work, as a speaker, and in my private life.
