Everything you’re looking

is on the other side of courage.

My name, Nadja, carries meaning.

I am a mother, adventurer, entrepreneur, explorer, mentor, speaker, and writer.

Born with an insatiable hunger for life.

Dutch and German by origin, but I’ve spent more than half my life abroad. My life has always been driven by curiosity and discovery - exploring the world, understanding myself, and pushing the limits of what’s truly possible.

But my journey took an unimaginable turn when my husband Jeroen was murdered. "Dag, lieverd, tot zo", those were his last words as he stepped out to mail our daughter’s birth announcements. Just five meters from our front door in London, he was stabbed to death. I was left standing in the wreckage, holding our 11-day-old daughter.

But this is not where my story ends.
It was the beginning of something new.
Something I could never have imagined.

In Slavic, Nadja comes from Nadezhda - hope. In Arabic, Nadia means tenderness or the one who calls. Both meanings fit.

Hope became my driving force. And now, my story gives hope to the countless people whose lives I touch.

My words became my voice and my voice is proof of what’s possible - even when everything seems lost.

Because this life is mine to live.
And only I decide what’s possible.

And the same goes for you

Life is an exploration, and you are

the one who sets the course.

They may say i’m a dreamer, but i’m not the only one.

— John Lennon
