What led you to meditation? My path to meditation was born out of necessity and curiosity. As an entrepreneur in the fast-paced world of cybersecurity and as mom of two children, I found myself constantly running from one challenge to the next, always in a state of high alert – much like the systems we were protecting. It was during this time that I realized I was living in what I now call a ‘panic room’ – a state of constant stress and reactivity.

The turning point came when I recognized that to truly excel in my field and help others, I needed to find balance and tap into a deeper source of wisdom. This realization led me to explore various mindfulness practices, including meditation.

How has meditation impacted your life? What started as a tool for stress management quickly became a transformative journey. Meditation opened up a whole new ‘possibility room’ for me – a space where I could connect my technical expertise with intuitive insights, fostering both personal growth and professional innovation.

Through consistent practice and learning from experts like Dr. Joe Dispenza, I discovered that meditation was not just about relaxation, but a powerful technique for enhancing mental clarity, creativity, and resilience. These are all crucial qualities in the ever-evolving field of information security and personal development.

Today, meditation is an integral part of my daily routine and a cornerstone of the holistic approach I bring to my work. It’s a practice that continually expands my possibilities, allowing me to guide others in bridging the gap between technical prowess and personal well-being. In essence, meditation has become my tool for transforming panic rooms into possibility rooms, both for myself and for those I have the privilege to work with.

Why do you support InnerScience Research Fund? My support for the InnerScience Research Fund stems from a deep-rooted belief in the power of scientific inquiry to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. As someone who has always strived to merge technical expertise with holistic personal development, I see the work of InnerScience as a crucial step in validating and advancing our knowledge of human potential.

In my journey from the world of cybersecurity to becoming an advocate for mental well-being and personal growth, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of practices like meditation and mindfulness. However, I also recognize the importance of solid, scientific evidence to support these experiences. This is where InnerScience plays a vital role.

The research conducted by InnerScience aligns perfectly with my mission to help people move from what I call the ‘panic room’ to the ‘possibility room’. By scientifically investigating the effects of meditation, breathwork, and other consciousness-expanding practices, InnerScience is providing the hard data that many in the business and tech world need to embrace these transformative tools.

Moreover, as someone who values continuous learning and growth, I’m excited by the potential breakthroughs that InnerScience’s research could uncover. Their work not only validates existing practices but also paves the way for new, innovative approaches to mental health, stress management, and personal development.

Supporting InnerScience is, in my view, an investment in our collective future. It’s about expanding our understanding of human consciousness and unlocking new possibilities for growth and well-being. This aligns perfectly with my goal of helping individuals and organizations tap into their full potential, balancing technical prowess with mental resilience and intuitive wisdom.

In a world where burnout and stress are becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in high-pressure fields like IT and cybersecurity, the work of InnerScience offers hope and practical solutions. By backing their research, we’re not just supporting scientific inquiry – we’re paving the way for a more balanced, mentally resilient, and ultimately more innovative society.

In essence, my support for InnerScience Research Fund is an extension of my commitment to expanding human potential and creating a world where technical advancement and personal well-being go hand in hand. It’s about transforming not just individual ‘panic rooms’ into ‘possibility rooms’, but doing so on a societal scale, backed by rigorous scientific research.

If you could change one thing about our world, what would it be? If I could change one thing about our world, it would be to unlock the innate potential within every individual to self-heal and shape their lives according to their highest visions.

Imagine a world where each person not only recognizes but fully embraces their capacity for self-transformation. A world where we all understand that we’re not limited by our circumstances or past experiences, but are powerful creators of our own reality.

This change would mean a collective shift from what I call the ‘panic room’ mentality – where we react to life from a place of fear and limitation – to a ‘possibility room’ mindset, where we approach challenges with creativity, resilience, and an unwavering belief in our ability to overcome them.

In this transformed world, people would tap into their self-healing abilities, addressing not just physical ailments but also emotional and mental blocks that hold them back. They would understand that true health and well-being start from within, and that they have the power to influence their own biology through thoughts and beliefs.

Moreover, this change would empower individuals to become the architects of their own lives. Instead of conforming to societal expectations or settling for less, people would dare to dream big and pursue their most inspired visions. They would understand that their unique perspective and talents are not just personal assets, but gifts that can contribute to the betterment of the whole world.

This shift would revolutionize every aspect of our society – from healthcare and education to business and technology. We’d see more innovation, more compassion, and more sustainable solutions to global challenges, all stemming from individuals living their fullest potential. In essence, if I could change one thing, it would be to awaken humanity to its own limitless potential.

To help everyone move from the confinement of their personal ‘panic rooms’ into the expansive ‘possibility rooms’ of their highest visions. Because when we all live from this place of empowerment and possibility, we don’t just change our individual lives – we change the entire world.

How do you help spread the word about InnerScience?

Firstly, I integrate information about InnerScience’s groundbreaking research into my keynote speeches and workshops. When I talk about the importance of mental resilience and intuitive decision-making in the fast-paced world of information security, I often reference InnerScience’s studies. This helps bridge the gap between hard tech and consciousness research, showing my audience how these fields are more interconnected than they might think.

In our work at Datenbeschützerin, we’ve started to incorporate some of InnerScience’s findings into our holistic security approach. When explaining this to clients, I take the opportunity to delve deeper into InnerScience’s mission and the potential impact of their research. This often sparks curiosity and further discussions.

I also leverage my social media presence and blog to share insights from InnerScience. I create content that explains complex scientific concepts in accessible language, always linking back to practical applications in both personal and professional life. This helps my followers understand the real-world impact of InnerScience’s work.

Furthermore, I actively seek opportunities to collaborate with other thought leaders and influencers who share an interest in the intersection of technology, consciousness, and human potential. Through podcast appearances, joint webinars, and co-authored articles, we create a multiplier effect in spreading awareness about InnerScience.
