“During my studies, I spent many years in-depth studying feminist theory, particularly unpaid housework and care work. It became clear to me early on that I wanted to work in a feminist context. However, the path to this goal was anything but straightforward.

I know what it's like to feel lost. To find yourself in a dead end, to run into closed doors, to constantly question everything. After graduating in the middle of the lockdown, my career didn't work out as hoped. A long-term relationship ended. What followed was a restless time and many, many heartbreaks. Then a coaching session changed a lot and gave birth to a vision: the Heartbreak Club.

Feminist individual and group coaching for FLINTA+ people in times of crisis and change. This isn't just about classic heartbreak. Many things break our hearts: plans that don't work out, "success" that feels empty, professional disappointments, friendships, societal expectations and ideals. When we constantly feel like we're not good enough or too much.

I believe in tenderness as strength. In vulnerability as courage. I don't believe in preconceived notions of what life, love, or healing should look like. Let's discover together how you can live and love in a way that suits you.”

“In feminist coaching, we explore and process personal experiences and place them in a structural context. Many of us suffer from similar problems in this society, so these should not be individualized but viewed structurally. The pain we experience is often an understandable reaction to our experiences within this system. Feminist coaching aims to empower us and give us new courage by helping us take personal responsibility and challenge limiting societal ideas about gender roles and life plans. It enables us to discover how we can live and love in a way that reflects who we are.

Especially in the community of group coaching, we can experience a kind of feminist utopia in which we encounter each other with radical openness, acceptance, and tenderness – this is how feminist practice becomes tangible.”

“We live in a patriarchal society that is structurally unjust on many levels. For me, feminism means fighting against structural exclusion, oppression, unequal power relations, and unfair resource distribution, and creating solidarity between people. This recognizes the similarities and differences of their experiences in this society and preserves their individuality and autonomy.

Feminist practice involves both recognizing structural discrimination and recognizing one's own privileges. While I experience discrimination as a woman in this society, I simultaneously enjoy privileges that have made my life path so far possible, including the creation of The Heartbreak Club.”
