My name is Marc Roelofs. I grew up in an entrepreneurial family in Lent, a village that has since been annexed by Nijmegen. Entrepreneurship is in my blood – I have been an entrepreneur my entire life.
Until 2008, when severe burnout became a reality. I was exhausted. Empty. Lost in a life that wasn't mine. I did what others expected of me. I wasn't living my own truth – I didn't even know what that was. I had become disconnected from my feelings, my body, my essence.
And my higher self? I had completely sidelined it. I tried everything. From medical treatments to alternative therapies. Until I came to the painful but liberating truth:
The power to heal lies within yourself.
And that's not a slogan. It's work. Inner work. Raw, honest, confrontational. All the dark sides of myself came to the surface. I looked at them, felt them and accepted them for what they were really worth. Layer by layer. It was precisely by feeling deeply what I did not want that I began to see clearly what I did want. And little by little, I began to recreate my life. Not perfectly. But genuinely.
Today, I am a healthy, powerful and deeply happy person.
Not because everything is flawless,
but because I am in touch with who I really am.
Every day, I create the day of my life.
And that can happen faster than you think.
