My story
My story is truly a love story. When I was in my early twenties, I got stuck in life. On paper, everything seemed fine: I was studying at university, had a good job, and was healthy — but on the inside I felt like a squeezed-out orange. Empty.
I felt lost
I often cried myself to sleep. I was full of questions: Who am I really? What gives my life meaning? Why do I feel so miserable when everything is supposedly going well? And why is there so much suffering in the world? At some point, I realized I had lost the connection with myself.
The bridge between East and West
When I read my first book on Buddhism, I saw a way out for the first time. The Eastern wisdom touched something in me that needed no words.
When I finally listened a little less to my head and dared to follow my heart, I changed course completely. My inner journey took me from a career as a marketing communications lecturer to a life as a digital nomad. I sold most of my possessions and set out into the wide world.
For three years I lived as a digital nomad — free, curious, and connected to myself and the world. Life rewarded me generously: I found my life partner and my new home under the Spanish sun.
"That bridge between East and West: between being, thinking, feeling, and doing, is where I found my strength."
– Eunice Frijde
My mission
Since 2014, I have been guiding people on their inner journey. I started as a buddy, but at some point the desire grew to professionalize my work — which led me to train as a counselor. I want to be the counselor I wish I had back then: an empathetic listener who asks the right questions, creates a safe space to simply be yourself, and reminds you of your own wisdom and strength. Not to ‘fix’ you, but to help you come home to yourself.
My belief
I believe a more beautiful world begins with happy, conscious, and resilient people. That is why I contribute to what I call a spiritual revolution: a shift in which awareness matters as much as outward success. A world in which we also measure success in wisdom, humanity, and compassion.
Because when it comes down to it: happy and (self-)aware people not only make their own lives richer, but also the lives of others — and with that, we create a better world for all living beings.
