A Man Lying on the Street This Morning (True Story)

27/9/2025

Why Was Nobody Helping?

This morning, I went to the city. On my way to the supermarket, I saw from afar a man lying on the ground in the street. His face was turned down, partly covered by his clothes. What shocked me the most was that many people walked by, and nobody stopped to check on him.
Seriously — what if he had a heart attack, a diabetic shock, or a stroke?
I went to check on him to see if he was alright. To my relief, he was moving and didn’t appear injured. I took my phone and immediately called the police to ensure they could guide him to a medical center if needed, or to a shelter, as the man seemed to be homeless, sleeping in the streets.

They say that Switzerland is a rich country — but situations like this are becoming more and more common. Do you want to know how many children are living in severe poverty in Switzerland? Visit the websites of the organizations Caritas and Pro Juventute. You will be shocked. And if you want to see how more and more seniors are struggling with poverty in Switzerland, read the reports from Pro Senectute, an organization that helps older people. The numbers you’ll find there will sadly surprise you. Not to mention the growing number of single-parent families living in serious poverty in our country.

In the last few years, the cost of renting an apartment has been rising beyond common sense. Every year, health insurance premiums become more expensive, and more people struggle to afford them. Because health insurance is mandatory here, many end up in debt. If social services have to cover your health insurance, the moment you find a new job, you must repay that money to the state. This creates an endless cycle of financial struggle for many people in our country.

And this homeless man lying in the street this morning — he is yet another sad example of how many things are going in the wrong direction…

Right now, I still have this question: WHY was nobody helping him?
What if he had a heart attack, a stroke, or a diabetic shock?

What if this man was your father, your brother, your son?

Every person walking by had a phone and could have called the emergency number to make sure he received help. But nobody stopped.

What I question the most is this: in so many cities around the world that I have traveled to, they all seem to have money for big sports stadiums, but they do not seem to have money to build more homeless shelters. ... ( ! )
The question is about the fair distribution of funds and why more money is available for sports stadiums, which are often empty 50% of the time, while there is not enough money to build homeless shelters.

Sorry, I’m just a little sad right now, because this should not happen in our country. In fact, this should not happen in any country at all.

With compassion, Jeanne

Keep Your Child Safe Online

19/9/2025

Offline Activities to Foster Creativity and Connection 💗

Recently, we had a serious situation in our neighborhood where an 11-year-old discovered how to download a game that, by law, is restricted to those aged 18 and older. I will spare you the details about the content of that game, it was too violent for children. The parents shared with me how there was peer pressure at school among students to play this game, and they expressed feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
Yes, internet security was often a topic of discussion when I worked in a school myself. Sadly, there were instances where one student posted a negative comment about another student, and I made sure that this was removed immediately and addressed it with their parents. This was a few years ago, and over time, internet security for children has become significantly more challenging.

The list of problems surrounding the question of children and the internet is getting longer and longer. But let us talk about possible solutions - would you like that?
I know some people find problems in solutions, but I tend to be more practical: I love to find real solutions for problems. 😉

Before we start, dear readers, let me share with you one small solution to help keep your child away from those big social media platforms for as long as possible. This is a real compromise you can use to gain some extra time: allow your child to create a members-only website on their own. These are websites where YOU decide who is a member and who receives a login code.
For example, with Weebly (.com), you can create fun members-only websites. Together with your child, you can create photo albums, write blog posts, and share texts that only your family members and friends can see. This will keep your child busy, and at the same time, they will feel a sense of fulfillment in creating those pages one by one and sharing them safely with family and friends.

Now, more importantly, let us create a first list of some fun activities for your children that will keep them away from their smartphones, computers, and TV screens for at least one afternoon. In case your children are not interested in learning musical instruments or participating in local sports groups, this list will keep them busy for a while.
Let me ask you: Do you remember what you loved to do as a child?

Nr. 1: Story Time 💗
The local library: You will be surprised by how many great books and even fun activities your local library offers for your children. Become a member and visit every two weeks with your child. While the children are busy discovering many new books, you can sit and relax in a chair, reading an inspiring book as well. This is perfect for a rainy Sunday too.

Nr. 2: The Little Anthropologists 💗
Museums: Ask your local tourist center about the upcoming activities they recommend for families with children, and be sure to sign up for their newsletters as well. Many museums now offer special activities for families, and often, some of them are available for a small budget.

Nr. 3: Animals on the Farm 💗
Local farmers' markets are definitely worth visiting for children, but there is even more to discover. Some farmers now offer afternoons filled with activities for children, including creative ateliers where they can craft fun items together. Additionally, some farms have a special corner where children can safely see the animals.

Nr. 4: The Chocolate Cake Master Bakers 💗
Is it raining again? Turn your kitchen into a baking wonderland and let your children bake a chocolate cake. Encourage them to create a series of cookies in the shape of their favorite animals. You can even hire a student for three hours to oversee this fun activity with the children, allowing you to relax in the living room with your own favorite hobby.
Additionally, look for special baking books with easy recipes for children. They can also create their own recipe books through scrapbooking, featuring their favorite recipes for the whole family.

Nr. 5: The Artists Create a Storybook 💗
Little artists' atelier: They say that children are losing their creative powers when they watch too much TV. So, for another afternoon, turn your living room into an art atelier. Find some large sheets of paper and a selection of different colors; there are special child-friendly acrylic paints available in stores for this purpose. Let your children create their own storybooks by writing a fun script together and drawing one image for every important scene in the script. Of course, the storybook can be a special present for a family member's next birthday!

Nr. 6: The Local Animal Shelter 💗
Many animal shelters are truly grateful for volunteers to walk their dogs or play with the cats. You will see your children smile and have fun interacting with these animals, and this can also become a regular activity if they enjoy it.

Nr. 7: Writing a Journal 💗
Scrapbooking is creative and, therefore, calming for children. Writing a journal can be a comforting and even healing experience for them, as it helps them process their many emotions and feelings. Plus, these young scrapbookers can create the most beautiful journals and books filled with precious memories. They can proudly share these books whenever grandparents, uncles, and aunts come for a visit.

I hope that some of these activities serve as inspiration and help your young children spend some time away from the many screens. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this further or share more ideas.

By sharing this article with your friends, you help me too.
With love and light,
Jeanne

From Mind to Soul: Walking the Path of Spiritual Simplicity

18/9/2025

Why so-called secrets on the spiritual path are not secret at all

In the field of spiritual teachings and the spiritual path to awakening, we find many wonderful and amazing teachers on every continent, in the West and in the East equally. But the true teachers rarely used big advertising or large marketing, because certain things are guided by Divine Guidance, beyond what the human mind tries to control.

Long before the time of the internet, these precious teachers shared the path of true meditation, of living in Divine Oneness and of spiritual awakening. One great teacher in the West was Joel S. Goldsmith (The Infinite Way), and many others have tried to teach what he explains in his books. Some not only copied the content but even copied the titles of his books, yet a copy can never carry the real original consciousness and therefore will never have the same effect as when the teaching is transmitted and received through the original teacher.

Joel S. Goldsmith was a great example of a truly humble teacher, and his teachings continue to be a powerful guiding light for students even today. Also in the West, a unique teacher was Dr. David R. Hawkins, with his teachings about the different levels of consciousness. The same honor and respect belong to the teachings of the well-known Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, and the many wonderful teachers from the East.

We can be grateful to observe that these higher levels of consciousness are being discovered by more and more people around the world, thanks to all the teachers who prepared the foundation for us to move beyond the illusions of human materialism. Sadly, some tried to make money with these teachings by adding certain words for sensational marketing, pretending that there were “special secrets.” They claimed that there was super mysterious information available only if certain conditions were fulfilled, and one of these conditions was of course about money. Those false prophets may have made some money in the short term, but in the long run the laws of karma will send them the bill to pay for their dishonest abuse of students who were sincerely looking for help.

Because if you remove all the layers of misleading marketing used around these teachings, in truth there are no special mysterious secrets. Just as the sun in the sky shines on every soul on this planet, in the same way the healing light, consciousness, and love are available to every soul who asks with an honest and pure heart.

What is missing is in reality very simple. Yet sadly, the ego mind rarely believes that something simple can be true or worth the effort. The human mind often seeks complicated concepts and a ten-step program decorated with many beautiful but unnecessary materials, and this is where seekers become distracted from the true path.

No matter whether you study spiritual teachings from the East or the West, the work on this path always remains the same, just do it. And the simple practice is to sit in stillness in meditation, in communion with Divine Source, opening the heart to Divine Consciousness and to the higher realms of light, in a state of deep receptivity and listening within.

Just do it. Here is an example of a simple but very effective practice:
Twice every day, take a break, pause, sit in a quiet place, and set your intention to connect with the Divine and with your Soul. In those moments, tell your thinking mind to go out for a walk, as that dear friend often fears letting go of control. Do nothing else, just sit, breathe, observe your breath, and focus only on the here and now. Then gently allow yourself to become more and more aware of that invisible part of you, your true Soul, by focusing on your heart. Allow your state of mind to shift from the human self to the spiritual Self, gradually and naturally. This is the part of you that, when you are in Oneness with it, allows you to live from the heart, feeling peaceful and open to the Divine around you. Now remain sitting in this awareness for the next thirty to fifty minutes. This is when the real healing happens, and when the mind receives true and lasting peace.

Yes, this kind of practice cannot be approached with the human intellect, the whole work is most successful when done from the heart alone. In truth, it is very simple. Yet most of the time this is where students walk away, because this work asks for a true investment of personal effort and time. It requires that we turn off the phones, the television, and the computers, and focus on Divine Source in stillness and silence.

In this sacred space of silence and stillness, we gently enter a new state of being, one of peace and harmony, free from the desires of the human ego, connecting more and more with our Soul. The way we feel shifts with every minute we remain quiet and present, and our awareness of the Higher Self deepens naturally.

Some call this experience “the Presence,” and of course different teachers have given it many beautiful names. Yet in reality there is no great secret hidden behind it, despite what some may claim in order to sell seminars or exclusive programs. It may sound simple, but it is only the thinking mind that insists the spiritual path must be difficult or mysteriously complicated. In truth, it is about practicing these small and gentle steps, again and again, which gradually open the doors to the reconnection with our Divine Self.

On this sacred path, the ego mind is gently laid aside, along with all the labels and roles that we believe define us. No titles are needed, no pressure to become someone different, no demand to be more efficient or to perform better. The search for outer success or temporary happiness only brings substitutes for what the Soul is truly longing for. Release all those expectations created by the human mind, and what remains is the quiet, luminous truth of who you really are.

Another key that is often misunderstood is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach in spiritual teachings. Every Soul has its own level of consciousness, depending on what the Soul has learned before this incarnation. Physical age is not a measure here. This is why a technique or teaching may be deeply helpful for one Soul, while another Soul may need a different path and practice with other tools. These choices are guided by the Soul itself, the Higher Self of the individual.
Spiritual revelations received during times of meditation belong to the path and evolution of the Soul who receives them. Another Soul may receive different insights for their own unique journey. This does not mean that one is right and the other is wrong, it simply reflects the infinite variety of the Divine guidance offered to each Soul.

The only thing truly missing is the willingness of the Soul in human form to make the personal effort to sit in stillness, to connect with Divine Source, and to ask directly for Divine Oneness. Living from the heart means living as your true Self, your Divine Soul, that eternal part of you. By allowing the thinking mind (ego) to rest in the backseat and letting the heart take its place in the driver’s seat, life begins to transform in the most beautiful and meaningful ways.

Trust your own Divine Guidance, for your Soul will always bring you the right information, the right people, and the right books that are meant to guide your next steps on this beautiful spiritual path.

If you ever have questions about the steps on this path, or if you would like to study any of these books together, you are always welcome to write to me, and we can meet in a video call to talk.

with Love and Light, Jeanne

Reclaim Your Peace of Mind from Bad News Overload

17/9/2025

The Hidden Dangers of Constant Information Overload:

The news worldwide reports that more and more people are living with mental health challenges. One reason for this is certainly the constant information overload we are exposed to 24/7.

Here is what truly helped me – and what can also support your health: at a certain point, I decided that I would only pay money for good news. Reading good news makes you feel good, and when you feel good, the cells of your body become happy. Therefore, you want to receive more good news only.

Maybe it is because of the medical condition I was born with, but I find having too many apps on my smartphone more than just overwhelming. But here is my question: how many apps do we really, truly need – and why?

Why would I pay any app to send me bad news about what is happening in a country on the other side of the planet? It only makes me feel sad and worried. That kind of news leaves us feeling hopeless and anxious, which is, of course, never good for our health.

Plus, do we really need to know what some VIPs are doing in their private lives? All that unnecessary gossip is toxic and completely useless. It doesn’t improve our mood, nor does it make our own lives any better.

Since our goal here is to seriously detox our lives, our smartphones, and the news we consume, it truly helps to radically delete all those apps. This way, we can make sure we no longer receive any of that negative news. Quickly scanning the local headlines is more than enough. Anything beyond that is simply unnecessary and does not serve you in any way – unless you work in a field where geopolitics are part of your daily business.

So, ok — now that our beloved smartphone is cleaned, peaceful, calmer and free from bad-news apps, another helpful step could be to delete contacts who send you bad news, gossip, and other toxic stories. I especially love that block-contact button for those situations. Feeling more relieved, right?

While I understand you might find these steps somewhat radical, let me remind you that your peace of mind is the main source of your health — both mental and physical. Your peace of mind should be your top priority and is worthy of protection. Only when you feel real peace of mind do you have the necessary energy to do what you truly want to do in life.

Another important key is to avoid endlessly scrolling through certain platforms and clicking on hype-sounding headlines. Before you click, ask yourself if what you are about to read is truly going to serve you in any way—if not, you are simply giving away your precious time and energy to useless, toxic news.

Let me share another helpful step, beginning with this question: do you really need to be available all the time? And do you really need to answer every call the very second your phone rings? (Unless you have young children or you are a medical doctor, of course.)

For a long time, I didn’t realize how much being available all the time for everybody was draining my energy—until a friend encouraged me to turn off my phone more often. I also finally activated voicemail, which allows people to leave their messages whenever I don’t answer their calls.

Being available for everybody all the time can really drain our peace of mind. Do I need to read every e-mail the moment it arrives? Absolutely not. Do I need to answer every single chat message right away? Nope—I don’t have to.
Of course, some friends in my circle grumbled a little about my new habits—but honestly, I felt a wave of relief discovering this newfound freedom. I wasn’t serving everyone else’s demands anymore; I was protecting my own peace of mind, and you will agree with me, that is priceless.

While these steps may seem small, they do so much more than just protect your thoughts and feelings from toxic news. They give you back your most precious gift: your time. Time to rest, time to breathe, time to focus on your goals, and time to recharge—time to truly nurture yourself and your well-being.

Once I discovered these new steps and daily life gently began to feel calmer and more peaceful, I found myself wanting to receive more good news. Somehow, my smartphone felt a little empty, and I wondered if there were apps that focused on positive news—and yes, there are actually some wonderful apps that deliver only good-news messages, filling your heart and mind with uplifting and positive feelings.

If you’d like a little extra support in setting healthy boundaries or discovering more ways to protect your peace of mind, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be delighted to help you create a calmer, happier, and more positive daily life.

Thank you for being here, and may your day be filled with warmth, truth, and love.

With Love and Light, Jeanne

Unmasking Bullying and Mobbing

15/9/2025

Healing the Hearts of the Introverts

People bully others because they are different from what the bullies believe a person should be, according to their ideas of "normal." Yes, I have experienced bullying and mobbing more than enough, and to avoid this pain for others, I write articles like this.

Dear Reader, if you observe these kinds of situations, please stand up against those bullies. Your intervention could truly heal a broken heart. 💗

AuDHD individuals are often introverts. We face dismissive and belittling comments, judgments, and criticism for our differences almost every day in various life situations. Can I be honest? It truly hurts.

Most of the challenges we face as AuDHD individuals stem from a deficiency in neurotransmitters, which are crucial for effective communication within our nervous systems. Our brains may produce lower levels of these essential chemicals, leading to difficulties in emotional regulation, social interaction, and sensory processing, ultimately affecting our overall well-being.

Living with neurodiversity means that we often react, speak, act, and perform differently from the majority of people due to inherent differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. These differences, which involve neurotransmitters and neural pathways, reflect the unique ways our brains process information. Neurodiversity encompasses lifelong conditions that affect how we think, learn, and interact with the world.

Let me give you some examples on what this looks like in daily life situations:

1. Social Interaction
Social interaction can often feel like a daunting mountain to climb for us AuDHD introverts. The pressure to engage in conversations and navigate social settings can lead to feelings of anxiety and exhaustion. For me, I love meeting in small groups or just one person, sharing lunch, going for a walk, or engaging in hobbies together; however, the larger the group, the more challenging it becomes for me to navigate the social dynamics.

2. Sensory Overload
Because my hearing is super sensitive and does not filter noises correctly, this leads to sensory overload. Sadly, not all people have compassion; some even judge me or make dismissive comments when I try to explain why I cannot go to loud restaurants. They tell me that I am ridiculous. Yes, there are those who belittle us for something we were born with, something that is not our fault at all.

3. Communication
Communication is more difficult than many could imagine. This can lead to feelings of isolation. Writing is a beautiful and healing way for me to find my voice in a society that often values the loudest and fastest. As a neurodiverse individual, I may stumble and stutter in heated moments, making it challenging for me to articulate my thoughts during arguments. This can lead others to underestimate me or assume I am less intelligent, which doesn’t reflect my true capabilities. However, when I take the time to express my feelings and thoughts in writing, it often resonates deeply with others, helping them to see my perspective in a new light.

4. Emotional Regulation
Emotional regulation can be difficult too. What people often misunderstand is that with ADHD, the one thing that is missing due to a lack of neurotransmitters is that door that keeps emotions under control. Others may judge me for being too sensitive, which adds to the challenge. In response, I try to fit in and often repress the many emotions I experience in daily life situations whenever possible. Another sad strategy I’ve adopted is to simply avoid situations where there could be too many emotions. For years, retreating into solitude has been my self-protection strategy, allowing me to avoid the painful comments others make about my sensitivity...

5. Fatigue and the need to recharge
Fatigue can creep in when the demands of social interactions and sensory experiences become too much for me. Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Because of the differences in the way my brain and nervous system process daily life situations, I simply need more time to rest and recharge. This is why I cherish those Sundays spent cuddling on the sofa with a cozy blanket; I need them much more than others do.

6. Routine Disruption
Some people say they love surprises, but I fear them. Routine disruptions can feel like a sudden shift in the ground beneath our feet. While predictability may sound boring to others, for me, it is a beautiful source of comfort. When that predictability is disrupted, it can leave me feeling insecure. I truly embrace the small rituals that bring me peace. A compassionate person who is patient and gives me the necessary time to adjust to change would be the best friend in those situations. The best are those who understand this and make plans with me 1-2 days in advance, knowing that having the time to prepare helps me immensely.

This is enough examples for today. Thank you for your patience. I share these thoughts, knowing that more information creates greater understanding, and from there, people will be able to cultivate more compassion and tolerance.

It helps if you can share this article with your colleagues and friends to foster greater understanding.
If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out -

Is the Magic of Books Lost?

10/9/2025

Is the Love of the Authors Lost Too? 💗

When I worked in a bilingual school as an assistant teacher, I remember the joy in the eyes of the little children as I read storybooks to them. They loved story time and asked for it every single day. For them, those moments were magical: discovering the pictures in the books, following the hero’s adventures page after page.

In those stories, you could truly see and feel the love of the authors. Each book was created with the love of their hearts, and the children felt it too.

Some of my most beautiful childhood memories are the moments I spent in the local library, discovering countless books and diving into their captivating stories. I have always loved books. While others go shopping for shoes, I care much more about discovering new books.

To me, books are precious treasures - filled with ancient wisdom and stories that bring healing to the heart. Most of all, I love reading books about spiritual teachings from all around the world.

But now, this unique and precious magic of books for children seems to be disappearing. New technical, soulless tools are reading stories to children, often without the presence of an adult who can answer their questions. Before a little child has time to enjoy and process one situation, the artificial voice has already moved on to the next.

And now, children no longer hold books in their hands, enjoying the beautiful pictures drawn with love by the authors. Instead, their eyes are fixed on tablet screens, receiving a sensory overload of sounds and images, all far too early for their young brains.

When the love of the authors is no longer inside the books, when children no longer pause to enjoy an image created from the heart of a human being… what will happen to the power of imagination in a child’s heart?

It breaks my heart to see that, in our towns, even bookstores and libraries are closing, as their light fades because business is no longer good for them.

It is the same with books for adults: real books carry the love of their authors between the lines, transmitting their consciousness, feelings, and thoughts. I truly hope we can keep the treasures of books alive for all humanity.

The question now is: how can we keep this magic alive and preserve the treasures of books for all humanity, without surrendering them to stories written and read by soulless machines?

With Love, Jeanne
💗

Navigating Social Media Marketing: Honesty, Balance, Finding Your Way

3/9/2025

If our incomes and the existence of our businesses, no matter what work we do, depend more and more on the mysteries of those ever-changing algorithms from social media platforms, then we need a new mindset to stay healthy. We need to establish for ourselves a stable inner ground and real mental strength, so we do not get caught up in those hamster wheels. By now it seems clear that the promised freedom is a very fragile iceberg, melting within the rules of online marketing.

There it was at last, that one video with a content creator who honestly shared how much he paid to get more clicks, more followers, and more views. Together with other writers, we had begun wondering what was going on with the whole world of social media marketing, a mystery that is growing for more and more people.

At the same time, a truly wonderful and loving author of children’s books and youth literature had just published an open letter in a news magazine about the changes she experienced with her work. Where in the past she reached almost 70,000 sales per book in her own country, now she struggled to make at least 3,000 sales. She was loved by many, visiting schools all over Germany, presenting her books and meeting with teachers, parents, and the young generation. Her books were positive, uplifting, and inspiring for young students and children, created with true love. But in the last few years, the changes she observed in young people left her worried. Just like her, many wonderful authors who put their hearts and love into every book now struggle to reach the right readers.

The book market is getting flooded with soulless AI-written books. And it is not only books, these changes in the way things are sold now are also affecting other products and services. The growing question is honesty, what happened to honesty in this new world of advertising?

This content creator mentioned above shared in his video how much he paid for bots, for click farms, and for all kinds of different ads on social media channels, only to reach the numbers required to be monetized by those platforms. When he finally reached that point and was accepted to start monetizing his channel, he explained how the real struggles had only just begun. The moment one video reaches the desired number, the pressure starts to grow, because followers need to be fed constantly in order not to lose them.

This is why every content creator feels the constant pressure to entertain, just to hold on to their followers and welcome new ones, day after day, week after week. The competition grows ever harsher, and the fear of losing followers can weigh heavily on the heart, like a never-ending shadow. Even the most honest and dedicated creators find their mental health at serious risk, because in this new reality, every success can turn into failure faster than the weather changes. It is no wonder that more and more people are struggling with mental health, facing challenges that were once unimaginable.

And this is where truth begins to fade, and the hyping takes over, just to survive in the world of social media marketing. Suddenly, a simple object, a normal product, or even a genuinely good service must be presented as the most mysterious, the most shocking, the most unique, the most extraordinary, the absolute must-have. Everything is exaggerated, wrapped in intense emotions, and surrounded by a drama that grows bigger and bigger, all just to capture followers and make sales.

Sadly, this is where the art of manipulative rhetoric has become a new trend. If you try to read between the lines of what is really being said, and remove all the hyped-up words designed to create fake emotions, the same video would be much shorter. Because videos now must be long in order to generate more revenue, even the most honest creators find themselves forced to add extra layers of words just to meet the demands of those mysterious algorithms.

Understand me clearly here: these are good people, with good services and certainly good products. Many of them have honest intentions, you can feel it and see it. You can see that most of these people do not want to use the “hyping marketing strategy,” but sadly, the reality of online marketing leaves them with little choice. Over the last few years, the whole social media world has evolved in this direction, and honest businesses that were once successful now find themselves struggling to meet their monthly budgets.

Because only this kind of hyping seems to attract viewers and signal to the algorithms that your content is worth sharing on their platforms. But in the end, it is still just a normal object, a simple product. More often now, we see in the news people sharing how they lost everything, literally everything they had, while trying to invest in their online business after following some online marketing gurus. Their honest videos at least help others avoid making the same mistakes.

You are not a content creator machine; you are a person, with a heart, soul, and unique energy to offer.

This is why I admire those de-influencers who are real, authentic, honest, and grounded. A digital detox is wise and every doctor would recommend it. But many cannot take a digital detox, because every day someone is not active online is a day when their followers move on to the next loudest influencer.

Last week, I posted a new video on YouTube, not to make sales, because I do not sell anything online, my work is a non-profit project to help people living with the same health issues. I often find myself wondering how to create a crowdfunding campaign in this fast-changing world of social media. As an introvert, I would truly value guidance or mentorship from someone who has been through this journey. It has been disheartening to find that most coaches charge fees I simply cannot afford right now. Therefore, I posted the video with zero expectations.

The fast-changing algorithms of social media marketing make it harder and harder for honest business owners to keep up. What is a hot trend today can become yesterday’s news by next week. Success can shift in just a few days, followers come and go faster than ever, and the dream of a promised income can turn into a 24/7 full-time job, leaving little room for real life, rest, or peace of mind.

Dear reader, I know how overwhelming this world of social media and constant pressure can feel. You are not alone, and your experiences truly matter. I warmly invite you to join me for a video call, where we can share our stories, exchange insights, and learn from each other’s experiences.

With a loving hug,
Jeanne
