“After a year and a half of writing, it is there. All of my vulnerable sides are now just in a book that is sold everywhere, wowie. That's still crazy to say out loud🤭”

She described her book launch as special and shared that she had once been a member of the special forces, and her trainer had been the special speaker at the event. Part of the caption read:

“And then the BOOK LAUNCH! Very special. First of all, I would like to thank @erikwegewijs. He coached me during special forces, but what you don't see is that it just continues afterwards. He kept on giving advice. He kept reminding me of what I had learned. And then he also came to speak at the launch! This was incredibly beautiful ❤️”
