Astrid Niels is a certified relationship coach and founder of Happy Thinking. She explores the intricate dynamics of love, partnership, and personal growth. From her deeply moving childhood in Belgium to becoming an internationally trained coach, Astrid shares how her early life experiences sparked a life-long quest to understand what it truly means to love and be loved. Together, they unpack how cultural context, subconscious programming, and unspoken expectations shape our relationships, and how uncovering the unseen can transform your love life - whether you're single or partnered.
Astrid brings her coaching insights to life with client stories, revealing how small internal shifts can ignite massive transformation. She shares her passion for helping people navigate from unfulfilled patterns to deeper intimacy and emotional self-sufficiency. With wisdom from Kabbalah, Esther Perel, and her own cross-cultural experiences, Astrid and Mickelle explore what it means to be devoted - to oneself, to a partner, and to the ever-evolving path of being partnered.
