i'm a writer, speaker, and founder based in copenhagen.

i’m obsessed with one question: what does it actually take to move forward when there is no path?

i built a method around it. i speak about it. i write about it. i can't stop thinking about it.

courage is the antidote to most things that go wrong in a life.

by that i mean the courage that is present, when you can feel something is important and true, but difficult. and you act courageously anyway, even though it would be easier not to.

I believe most of us know, somewhere inside, what the courageous move is. The hard part isn't figuring it out. It's allowing yourself to trust it.

That's what I keep trying to understand. Where does that trust come from? What makes it possible? What gets in the way? And how do we build a practice for finding our way back to it — not just once, but every time life asks something hard of us?

i grew up in a small town in the middle of zealand, denmark, where not much happened.

Which probably explains why I spent the first two decades of my adult life putting myself in experiments — moving countries, switching fields, starting things, leaving things — and asking myself what was worth continuing.

I studied media science in Copenhagen, then followed a thread to Seattle, where I studied photography at the University of Washington and built a portrait photography business called Persona on the side while working full-time at a creative digital agency. I spent close to a decade on the American West Coast, working at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and building things that didn't exist yet.

Then I moved back to Copenhagen. And started over — again.

I've worked in agencies and large organisations across two continents. In media, design, technology, brand strategy. Always in the crossfield between making things and figuring out why they matter.

Looking back, I've always been doing the same thing — just in different forms. In documentary film, in portrait photography, and now in this work: helping people see themselves clearly. Not as they think they should be. As they actually are — in their full power. That's what makes me feel most alive. And it's what I've been chasing since long before I had language for it.

I burned out once. Three months where everything stopped. It was the best thing that could have happened. I got still enough to hear what I'd been ignoring for years.

What came out of that was a question I couldn't let go of — and eventually, a method. The Inner Authority™ Method. A structured process for finding clarity when the old answers stop working. It's the backbone of everything I do.

I also co-host Paloma Podcast with my dear friend, actress Sicilia Gadborg Høegh — about the creative process of building something from scratch.

I write, speak, and advise on how we navigate uncertainty — and find our way back to ourselves when we've drifted.

The Inner Authority™ Method lives in my keynotes, my advisory work, and in Eksakt, a digital experience I founded for people navigating personal transitions.

The bigger project — the one that connects all of it — is still taking shape. But it has something to do with courage. With what it actually means to live from the inside out. And with giving people language for experiences they've been trying to describe for years without quite finding the words.

the rest

I'm about to marry Henrik — my person, my second marriage, and someone who has watched me build all of this with patience, I feel thankful for. We have a energetic, adorable three-year-old boy, a curly Havanese dog, and Henrik's sweet daughter. We live in Copenhagen and we're both, in our own ways, chasing something we believe in.

you know, courage over comfort, am I right?
