Protect your clarity. Strengthen your leadership.
Start with 3 days in nature: fully guided, fully offline.

For years I did what every ambitious leader is told to do: work harder, push through, hold it all together. I built companies and led teams in the Netherlands, and before that I climbed the ladder in an American corporation — until, in 2019, I hit the wall and burned out.

From the outside, it looked like success; on the inside, I was running on fumes, waking up exhausted and anxious, pretending I was fine while everything in my body said I wasn’t. That experience taught me that leaders don’t burn out because they are weak, but because they care so much they keep going long after the warning signs appear.

Pausa was born from that realisation: my attempt to answer one question for myself and for other founders — how do we stay clear, strong, and mentally grounded before stress turns into damage?
