The power of pause<\/h1>\n

Inspiration shot April 2025<\/h3>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Sometimes life is like a dog: it forces you to pause, get more fresh air, and see everything from a different perspective. After months of traveling and making plans, April unexpectedly brought me exactly what I needed: rest, puppies, and ice-cold water.<\/p>\n

In this Inspiration shot: how eight rescued puppies taught me something about grounding, why my theater show is<\/em>\u00a0going ahead (despite rumors), how you can benefit from my VA, and why I consider staying in one place for five weeks a mini-vacation. Oh, and I\u2019m still looking for a catchy name for my \u2018best of\u2019 workshop series \u2014 will you help me brainstorm?<\/p>\n

Enjoy reading, and as always: let yourself be inspired!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Rescue a puppy… and yourself!<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Having a dog around brings calm and grounding. Stuck behind your computer? Go play! It’s even scientifically proven that petting a dog boosts the happiness hormone oxytocin (also known as the \u2018cuddle hormone\u2019). A dog also forces you to walk more, even when the weather isn\u2019t great. In this FB post, I share\u00a0what I\u2019ve learned from the (now 8) puppies I\u2019ve rescued or fostered.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here in Puglia, sadly, dogs are often treated like disposable items. Whenever I\u2019m here, I try to help the local volunteers. The three puppies I\u2019m caring for this month (Wolf, Fox, and Bear) luckily found a forever home quickly, but there are still many dogs (especially bigger and older ones) sadly waiting for a chance to show how lovely they are and how much they can enrich your life. Follow Giada Perrone on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to see a constant stream of dogs who truly deserve a better life. Not ready to adopt? Please consider supporting these volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Has the theater show been cancelled?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Earlier this week, I announced on social media that I would cancel my\u00a0theater show<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s all a bit too much hassle. I\u2019d rather spend my birthday with a cup of tea on the couch\u2026\u201d You guessed it…<\/p>\n

Read my April Fools\u2019 joke and the reactions<\/a>. I was surprised how many people believed it (especially on LinkedIn, strangely enough) and said, \u201cif it doesn\u2019t feel right, you just shouldn\u2019t do it.\u201d Sweet, but not exactly the \u2018no excuses\u2019 mindset I stand for. Just in case you\u2019re still wondering: the show IS happening!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Help me come up with a good name<\/h2>\n<\/div>

My\u00a0workshops<\/a>\u00a0are known for inspiration, practical tips, and a\u00a0no-excuses\u00a0<\/em>mindset. Although I no longer give live workshops, I still love sharing my knowledge, experience, and no-nonsense approach. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve recorded my best workshops and bundled them into a complete package with books, bonus videos, and extra material; so you have everything you need in one place. A kind of\u00a0\u2018Best of Esther\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what do I call this? Workshop bundle or recording? Video series, eCourse? I\u2019m struggling to find a name that clearly shows this is\u00a0the\u00a0starting point for anyone wanting to dive into a topic like writing a book, becoming a digital nomad or entrepreneur, and working smarter. With ALL the knowledge and experience I\u2019ve gathered over the past decades. Suggestions for a good name are very welcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Did you know...?<\/h2>
\n

…that my dad turned 77 last month? He\u2019s been living with Alzheimer\u2019s for 10 years now. Thanks to amazing volunteers from the Netherlands who take turns coming to Miami for three months at a time to care for him, he\u2019s still able to live in his own apartment. Because of the personal attention and care, his decline has been relatively slow. Depending on the level of stress in his life and medication changes, he sometimes takes a sudden step back, but other times we manage to balance things out again. After a period of being a bit slower and having a more distant look in his eyes, he now seems a bit clearer again. I\u2019m proud of my sister Danielle, who lives nearby and handles so much, my brother Michael who manages the American side of care from New York, and myself, for still being able to find kind, loving people from a distance who care for him as if he were their own father.
\nHappy birthday, dear dad! \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<\/div>

Where is Esther?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Phew, I really needed this: five weeks in one place, in\u00a0my lovely home in Puglia<\/a>! I had actually planned a weekend of skiing in Northern Italy, but then I got asked to foster three puppies for a month. I realized this was probably the universe\u2019s way of keeping me in one spot for a while. Three pups, so cute, and\u00a0so\u00a0much work! On top of that, five friends and\u00a0book coaching clients<\/a>\u00a0came to visit me in Puglia, so all in all, it still turned into a pretty full five weeks.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of Puglia is having lunch with an old neighbor, who cooks up the most amazing meals every single day. Whoever happens to be around is welcome to join. His local friends each bring something: homemade focaccia, wine, or cheese. The group of old men toast to friendship. It\u2019s magical to be part of it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve picked up a new hobby: every morning I jump into my freezing cold pool. The locals think I\u2019ve lost my mind. And maybe I have. But cold is good for you, right? I\u2019ve noticed I stay warm for the rest of the day and have way more energy. A fresh start.<\/p>\n

I realized how much energy usually goes into moving around, traveling, logistics\u2026 and now that I stayed put, I had extra energy. Which was a good thing, because I had a lot of work to catch up on. Oh, and I started a new real estate project: I bought a plot of land near my trullo, where I\u2019m building a beautiful three-bedroom holiday home with a pool together with another neighbor (who also built my house). The plan is to sell it to someone who wants the dream house, but not the hassle.<\/p>\n

In short: it turned out to be another classic ‘Esther month’.<\/p>\n<\/div>
