You’ve built a successful cosmetics business around your brand JACKS beauty line. Your Glowcast podcast focuses on health, selflove, mindfulness – and inner glow. What do you mean by that?
For me, it means being content. With the way you are, how you look and how you live your life.

Is it possible to learn how to bring out your inner glow?
Yes. Ten years ago, I was a completely different person. Everything was focused on what was lacking, it was stressful and miserable. I think I had to reach that low point to understand that I couldn’t continue like that. So I invested a lot in myself, in coaching and therapy. That hurt sometimes too, but the feeling of fulfilment now is priceless.

What did you learn about yourself?
For example, I used to think that nobody worked as well as me and employees got on my nerves. This created a downward spiral. I subconsciously put employees down, and they couldn’t do a good job because they lacked confidence. It was only through coaching that I understood that these negative beliefs were the reason why I kept having the same conflicts.

Through your Instagram account, you inspire lots of people with your charisma. What do you want to give them?
Things aren’t always perfect for me either. But I’ve learnt that I’m responsible for my own happiness. I have the power to decide whether a situation is wearing me down mentally or whether I should look at it positively as a challenge I can learn from. I want other people to have this insight. Since I learnt to love myself, I’ve also managed to inspire people.

And finally, a more superficial question: What’s your trick to make your appearance glow?
That’s not superficial – quite the opposite! The fifteen minutes that we give ourselves in the morning to apply lipstick or put on a nice outfit are so important for our self-confidence and self-love. When I wear my favourite outfit, I immediately radiate a completely different power.
