You were never meant to do this alone.
I know that you are doing everything you can to build a better career & life for yourself.
You are listening to podcasts, reading articles, and upping your skills.
Yet, you still miss a key ingredient to career success:
A space to connect, ask, learn, and grow in community with others.
A place to find unbiased mentorship whenever you hit a roadblock.
Where fellow ambitious women encourage and support you without hesitation.
Where the best strategies are shared about work & life, from woman to woman.
Our Space To Think community is that space for you.
We are a loving group of ambitious, international, professional women
- who want to enjoy life & work.
You were never meant to do this alone.
Let’s build your success together - so it feels even better than it looks.
This is for you if...
-
...you feel isolated at work and want a place to freely discuss what challenges (and successes!) you are experiencing.
-
...you struggle to take action toward your career goals and want a support system that stops procrastination and fuels your inspiration.
-
...you want to get advice and support from real, unbiased women who are not your direct leadership.
-
...you long for fresh career perspectives that different cultures, generations, and industries can give you. (You don't know what you don't know!)
-
...you know that enough is enough, and it's time to take steps toward a new chapter in your career - and you want support by your side.

Hi, I'm Maartje, and I love seeing what happens when women come together.
Being an unpopular girl in high school was rough.
Being the only woman in a tech startup wasn't fun either.
I know you know.
You have faced a thousand battles, in stilettos for miles.
You have wiped your tears in bathroom stalls.
You've held your tongue in meetings that made your blood boil.
You've wanted to scream, and roar, and break the glass ceiling that you can't. seem. to break. through.
You've been betrayed by the women around you who brought you down, so they could rise.
I've been healing my womanhood.
She's not healed yet. But she's doing better.
The place where I started to feel like my whole, feminine self again was where women gather.
For 3+ years, this community has done that not only for me, but for dozens of women like you who crave the kind of sisterhood that nourishes your soul.
Women who get it.
Who share vulnerably.
Who listen.
Who celebrate you.
I created this community not to make money or build a product.
I made this because I needed it.
I use it myself every week.
Are you ready?
To join me in navigating the messy beauty that is life, by setting goals, sharing wins, connecting on deep levels, and lifting each other up?
I can't wait to be in community with you.
All my love,
Maartje
