I could tell you what I help people do. But I think it lands better coming from the people who've actually done it.
After every coaching series, I ask clients what changed — in mindset, clarity, habits, business. Below is exactly what they wrote back. Nothing is polished or dressed up. It's literally what they typed.
A planner that finally holds
Most of the planners my clients had tried before weren't built for how they actually think. This is what one client told me, after we built hers around what we call her "non-negotiables" — the handful of things that still get done even on a two-hour day, or your worst energy day:
"Saskia has helped me do the unimaginable — she helped me create a business planner that actually works for me and my neurodivergent brain!"
"Geen ingewikkelde 6-taken-per-dag planner, maar 1 taak in de ochtend (email) en 1 taak in de middag (design). [...] Ik denk dat ik in járen niet zo'n succesvolle planner heb gehad."
Permission to let go of what isn't working
A lot of what we work through isn't adding more — it's finding what's already there that doesn't need to be.
"My most valuable takeaway from our sessions has been that I can build my business however I want to. Even if I have built up different platforms, I can let them go if they don't serve me anymore."
"Je hebt me ook helpen zien wat de 'shoulds' zijn in mijn business. Ik vond dat ik een Facebook groep moest hebben — maar waarom eigenlijk?"
Talking about money without the wobble
This one came up more than once. Pricing and money conversations can shake even people who are otherwise sure of themselves.
"Ook al ben ik vrij zelfverzekerd in mijn pricing en offerings [...] mijn zelfvertrouwen kan een klap krijgen als ik het met anderen over financiën heb. [...] Je hebt me laten zien dat ik veilig ben bij jou en voelde ik me goed om het te delen."
Seeing the bigger picture
Sometimes the work is zooming out — from a number, a decision, a worry — to see it at actual scale.
"Met de reiskosten van het punchneedle retreat zat ik heel diep in mijn eigen perspectief van 'dit is veel geld', hoewel diezelfde som geld voor een groter bedrijf peanuts is. Je hielp me het grotere plaatje te bekijken."
Turning a spiral into a next step
"Je liet me niet in een neerwaartse spiraal afdwalen maar leidde me steeds terug in constructieve positieve acties."
Getting honest with yourself
"Ik ben langzaam eerlijker naar mezelf aan het worden [...] dat ik stiekem iets anders wil dan ik probeer te rationaliseren dat ik wil."
A business that fits your actual life
"I'm clearer on my own mission, my core values, I've discovered journaling in a whole new way, and I can create a business that fits with my life, and my creative process."
"I don't have to create a conventional business, I don't have to squeeze myself into a conventional box…. I can create my own way…"
If any of this sounds like where you are right now — too many ideas, not enough structure, a business built on someone else's blueprint instead of your own — that's exactly where we start.
