This is Ingrid, she turned 40 this March and directly joined “the fabulous AndBloom club of fierce women.” 🙂 I portrayed her right before her birthday and asked her some personal questions.

Tell us what you’d like us to know about yourself:

I love to help people unlock their potential, it’s what truly makes me happy in life. I have a talent for spotting talent and connecting it to possibilities, and the other way around 😉

If you know this about me you will understand why I am so driven and passionate about getting the best out of life, myself, and you.

What’s your fantasy version of your older self? 

When I fantasize about my older self, I see myself laughing, in good health, satisfied with where I am and surrounded by my loved ones. I guess it’s more about how I hope to feel, who will be with me, than what I’ll look like. 

What are you Most Proud Of?

I’m most proud of my daughter. I experience so much joy seeing her grow up.  She loves herself for who she is and is continuously developing confidence, sharing her authentic self with the world. It’s amazing to guide her on that journey.

What Would You Tweet to Your Younger Self?

“Take it easy, don’t rush it.” I have the tendency to look far into the future. I see the great things we can accomplish and my excitement can make me impatient. I’ve learned – and am still learning –  to experience the value of the journey, as I pave my way towards a destination that inspires me.

Strangest recent middle-of-the-night thought?

“I forgot to call dad today, should call him in the morning.”

My dad passed away 6 years ago. The thought was so uncanny, it felt very real as if we spoke to each other last week.

 I do really miss our talks on the phone.

If You Had a Warning Label, What Would It Be?

“Do NOT hurt her loved-ones.” 

What Scares You?

Death. 

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

The fantastic relationships that I have built over the years with some of the most amazing people in the world. 

What’s on your nightstand? 

A book, a notebook, and a pen.

How old are you?

I turned 40 in March.
