'Thanks for helping me find the tone of voice that really supports me in being real yet kind. I loved our trajectory and regular moments for introspection and figuring out what as keeping me from taking no BS. Love how both doing no harm and taking no BS have become core coordinates in how I navigate academia now.'

'If I'm totally honest, I would rather never round off! Ha. Our sessions have been such wonderful moments in my months. I feel sturdy now. Inner senior, you'd say.Love that I can listen to your podcast. And this is goodbye for now. So: thank you!'

'The way in which you normalize opening up to our emotions and feelings as wonderful data in how to choose our next steps. In addressing academia as a predominantly white institute, I love how you have so kindly made us aware of how we can all flourish more if we let go of e.g. perfectionism. Gosh: let's continue the journey of creating safe enough brave spaces in academia, but I guess we still have a lot to unlearn.'

'To be honest, at first I really felt unnerved by your methods in working on social safety. I mean: why not simply think, talk and come to joint decisions? Why draw? And all of those weird embodied moving around in the room assignments? But now I actually am more creative myself in organizing meetings. It is amazing how we listen to each other now and collaborate. Honest 'no's' and trustworthy 'yes'es'. That's what we do now. Most of the time.'
