About Esther Jacobs
Author of 30 books, writing coach, and international speaker. They call me the ‘No Excuses Lady’ because I make things happen, no matter the circumstances.
I raised 16 million euros for charity, survived on a deserted island during Survivor, traveled to over 100 countries, and was expelled from the Netherlands for traveling too much… I stepped out of the system and discovered ultimate freedom.
I want you to experience that freedom too. I help you work smarter, so you have more time for what truly matters.
Uncertainty has become my comfort zone. Read my story and discover how I can help you turn your dreams into reality.

Slow to exit- Inspiration shot March 2026
The past seven weeks I have stayed in one place! At the beautiful Highden estate in New Zealand, for the Temple Training. I only left the land twice, once to get groceries and once for a small excursion. Therefore this inspiration shot has a slightly different format than usual. I slowed everything down, really landed, am less in my head and more in my body. Still deeply connected to Highden, the Mystery School. At the same time I already notice how the transition back to the 'normal world' immediately brings a few rollercoasters and tests. More on that below. I will try to translate what I learned into something that is also useful in everyday life. I hope at least one of these reflections will resonate with you, make you think, and perhaps open up a new insight.
Highden mystery school part 2
A mystery school is an ancient spiritual tradition devoted to initiation and the awakening of human consciousness. Found in many cultures, from the temples of Egypt and Greece to the inner teachings of East and West, mystery schools were places where seekers gathered to explore the deeper laws of life, the nature of the soul, and humanity’s role in the cosmos. Their purpose was not simply study, but transformation. They guided individuals and groups through experiences that revealed deeper levels of wisdom, purpose, and service to the world.
Landed! – Inspiration shot February 2026
I have finally landed at my destination, Highden Temple; the Mystery School. My suitcase is unpacked. And for the first time in 20 years, I am staying in one place for six weeks. But before that, I had exhausted myself with an absurd travel schedule. Sounds familiar? In this Inspiration Shot I share insights about having your feet on the ground, practical tips for the Pacific in case you ever want to travel this way, and I invite you to reflect on this question: Where are you still overcompensating before allowing yourself to rest?
