About me
Hi, I’m Myrthe - the woman behind Rooted Lifestyle.
Type-A personality turned intuitive. A recovering overachiever who traded high heels and 70-hour weeks for bare feet, slow mornings, and a heart-led business by the ocean.
I used to have the life that looked perfect on paper - the stable relationship, the six-figure career in financial consulting, the apartment with a view. I had everything I thought I wanted, yet deep down, I felt burned out, disconnected, and quietly unfulfilled.
I was living someone else’s version of success - safe, secure but not truly alive. Not truly me.
So, I left it all behind. And it cracked me wide open. Ending a ten-year relationship, walking away from a high-pressure corporate job, and starting over in multiple new countries forced me to face every fear I’d ever avoided - around money, safety, worthiness, and being alone.
It wasn’t glamorous; it was messy, terrifying, brave, exciting and deeply humbling. But it woke me up to who I really am and what I came here to do. I learned that real transformation isn’t about knowing more - it’s about embodying what you already know. It’s about bringing your truth into how you live, love, lead, and show up every day.
Today, I live in Portugal - barefoot most days, surrounded by green hills and ocean air - running Rooted Lifestyle, a heart-led coaching business for women who, like I once did, have built a beautiful life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel like theirs.
I’m here to guide ambitious, self-aware women through the in-between - the liminal space between awareness and embodiment - where they stop performing, proving, and controlling, and start being who they were always meant to be. I help them through the ‘messy middle’ of discomfort, fear and uncertainty that comes with doing life differently, outside of the ‘system’. I’m here to help them release the conditioning that keep them small and build lives that feel deeply aligned, grounded, and free.
It’s my mission to help women remember who the f*ck they are and redefine success on their own terms - from their body, their truth, and their calm, rooted self-leadership. This work isn’t just about “healing.” It’s about liberation.
Just like I did for myself, and am still doing - every day.
Thank you for being here!
Much love, Myrthe
