Marlies Heckner ist dreifache Mama und eine der bekanntesten Momfluencerinnen Deutschlands. Lange war die bedürfnisorientierte Erziehung für sie ein großes Thema – heute sieht sie vieles differenzierter und sagt: Ständig hinter jedem Verhalten Bedürfnisse zu suchen, ist einfach zu kompliziert! Mit Evelyn spricht sie darüber, warum sie sich als Mutter zeitweise in Elternratgebern und theoretischen Konzepten verloren hat, weshalb klare Grenzen in ihrer Familie inzwischen wichtig sind und warum der Versuch, alles richtig zu machen, oft eher Druck als Orientierung schafft. Es geht um Perfektionismus, Fehler und Schuldgefühle. Außerdem spricht Marlies offen über ihre Diagnosen Autismus und ADHS, Reizüberflutung im Familienalltag und kleine Strategien, die helfen können, den täglichen Familienwahnsinn etwas entspannter zu meistern.

Het is een van de grootste industriële en technologische omwentelingen van onze tijd. En zeker na de blokkade van de Straat van Hormuz beseffen we dat deze revolutie in hoog tempo moet gebeuren. Naar een circulaire economie waarin de chemische industrie van 'fossiel' - van aardolie dus - naar heel nieuwe grondstoffen als basis moet transformeren. Met organische, 'groene' en dus ook biologische grondstoffen als basis van de nieuwe chemie en de industriële sectoren die daarmee samenhangen. Boeren worden de nieuwe sjeiks, zou je bijna zeggen. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met hoogleraar Martin Junginger van het Copernicus Instituut voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling van de Universitieit Utrecht en twee avant-garde-ondernemers uit de sector van de nieuwe chemie, Marlies van Wijhe, ceo van Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf, en Joost Paques, ceo van Paques Biomaterials. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Biobased Circular, een programma van het Nationaal Groeifonds. En met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Martin Junginger spreekt van ‘een cruciale technologische revolutie in de komende decennia’. Want vanwege de sterke afhankelijkheid in Europa van fossiele grondstoffen van elders en vanwege de klimaateffecten van de inzet daarvan, is het voor de chemische industrie 'do or die'. Biogrondstoffen en recycling van bestaande chemische materialen moet deze industrie tot nieuwe bloei brengen. En dat is in hoge mate een geopolitieke zaak geworden. China dumpt fossiele plastics en materialen om de EU-markten te ontregelen en domineren. Oekraïne is meest belovende leverancier van 'groene grondstoffen', onder meer dankzij het nationale symbool, de zonnebloem. Geen wonder dus dat Europees beleid nodig is om een van de wereldwijd grootste chemie-clusters, hier in onze delta, te transformeren naar een nieuwe, post-fossiele toekomst. Het rapport-Wennink wijst ook op de chemie-omwenteling, maar daarin blijft het opschalen van innovaties volgens Junginger onderbelicht. We praten met twee familiebedrijven die voorop lopen. Met hun 'geduldkapitaal' zijn ze de sleutel. Een avant garde van innovatieve bedrijven, kennis en infrastructuur om te kunnen opschalen staat klaar. Maar een deel van de chemische industrie twijfelt. "Laat als land die kans niet liggen”, zegt Junginger. Marlies van Wijhe is van zo'n chemisch familiebedrijf. Haar bedrijf maakte verf en coatings ooit uit lijnzaadolie, toen via de petrochemie en nu is de chemische omwenteling weer gaande vanuit die 'oude', biobased grondstoffen. Ze heeft daartoe een eigen kenniscentrum opgebouwd, ‘want we waren er heel vroeg bij’. Vergeleken bij de verduurzaming bij de groene energie is die naar groene grondstoffen en materialen voor haar in het beleid te weinig zichtbaar. "Dat gaat te langzaam, terwijl wij als familiebedrijven met ons geduldkapitaal het meest geschikt zijn om daarin te investeren.” Joost Paques herkent met zijn bedrijf dat ongeduld. "Wij zijn vanuit afvalwaterzuivering naar productie van groen biogas gegaan en nu doorgegroeid naar plastic-vervangende biopolymeren." Als kennisland op dit terrein is ons land de voorhoede, maar Paques benadrukt dat je meer zult moeten doen: voortdurend doorontwikkelen en 'kennis waardedrager maken'. Het besef in Europa van de riskante afhankelijkheid van kritieke grondstoffen en van de bescherming van eigen kennis en waardencreatie tegen dumping noemt hij ‘een mega-opportunity’. Om daarmee tot 'marktcreatie' te komen is voor ons land als 'avant garde' essentieel. De Critical Chemicals Alliance in de EU kan daarbij helpen ‘omdat we zelf al veel kunnen’. “Wij staan in de voorhoede van de nieuwe chemie en moeten nu aan de slag." *** Verder lezen Cees Leeuwis en Harriëtte Bos - Met biokunststof ontsnappen chemie en landbouw aan de fossiele, doodlopende weg (FD, 12 juni 2026) Kamerbrief over verduurzaming industrie (10 april 2026) *** Verder luisteren 595 – Voedselzekerheid in een wankele wereld 576 – Oekraïense toetreding versterkt de EU, zegt rasdiplomaat Robert Serry 575 - Nederland staat niet langer op het menu, maar zit aan tafel 574 – Hormuz: eeuwenoud brandpunt van de wereld 571 - Het kabinet-Jetten in een geopolitieke orkaan 537 – De kracht van de vijf Nederlandse zeehavens 499 - EU-klimaatdiplomaat Tony Agotha, speciaal gezant in turbulente tijden 446 - Doe wat Draghi zegt of Europa wacht een langzame doodsstrijd 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben 415 – Klimaatbeleid: de inhaalslag van Nederland in Europa 389 - De lange en hobbelige weg naar een klimaatneutraal Nederland *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:29:51 - Deel 2 00:53:22 - Deel 3 01:03:07 - Einde See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marlies Jellema is geluksdeskundige, docent aan Windesheim en oprichter van het Centrum voor Werkgeluk. Ze onderzoekt wat mensen gelukkig maakt in hun werk en put daarvoor uit de positieve psychologie. Niet: wat gaat er mis? Maar: wat werkt er al, en hoe versterken we dat?

Werkgeluk rust op drie pijlers: plezier in je werk, voldoening doordat je je sterke kanten inzet, en zingeving. Dat laatste gaat niet over wat anderen ervan vinden, maar over wat jij zelf zinvol vindt Jellema ziet dat we als samenleving geneigd zijn te focussen op wat beter kan.

Vom Überleben ins Leben – warum deine Stärke nie ein Fehler warEs gibt einen Moment, den viele kennen und den kaum jemand laut ausspricht. Im Außen läuft alles. Der Beruf, die Verantwortung, das Funktionieren. Und doch ist da dieses leise, beharrliche Gefühl: So kann es nicht weitergehen. Nicht weil etwas schiefgelaufen ist. Sondern weil etwas fehlt.Dr. Marlies Koel begleitet Menschen genau in diesem Moment. Seit über 30 Jahren. Als Mentorin, promovierte Biologin, Heilpraktikerin und Speakerin – und als jemand, der weiß, was es bedeutet, wenn das Alte nicht mehr trägt und das Neue noch keinen Namen hat.In diesem Interview spricht sie über etwas, das in der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung selten wirklich gesagt wird:Deine Überlebensstrategie war nie dein Fehler. Sie war deine Stärke.Jeder Mensch entwickelt früh, oft noch vor dem ersten Wort, noch vor dem ersten bewussten Gedanken eine innere Strategie. Eine Art zu sein, die Sicherheit bringt. Die dafür sorgt, dass man dazugehört, geliebt wird, einen Platz hat. Diese Strategie ist nicht falsch. Sie war klug. Sie hat funktioniert. Oft jahrzehntelang.Und genau das ist das Thema.Wer jahrzehntelang funktioniert, verliert irgendwann den Kontakt zu dem, was jenseits der Strategie liegt: die eigene Lebendigkeit. Die eigene Wahl. Das eigene Ja.Die Y-Methode, die Dr. Koel über drei Jahrzehnte entwickelt hat, neben anderen Methoden, setzt genau hier an, aber nicht so, wie die meisten es erwarten. Es geht nicht darum, das Alte loszuwerden. Es geht darum, etwas hinzuzufügen.Aus dem Entweder-oder wird ein Sowohl-als-auch.Der Überlebensweg bleibt – als Ressource, als Stärke, als das, was dich hierher gebracht hat. Und gleichzeitig öffnet sich ein neuer Raum: für Entscheidungen, die wirklich deine sind. Für ein Leben, das sich wieder nach dir anfühlt. Für die stärkste Version von dir, nicht statt dem, was war, sondern als Erweiterung davon.Was entsteht, wenn beides zusammenkommt, ist nicht nur persönliches Wachstum. Es ist Handlungskompetenz. Innere Stabilität, Klarheit und Authentizität. Die Fähigkeit, auch in unsicheren Zeiten klar zu entscheiden und wirklich zu leben.Ich bin. Ich entscheide. Ich handle. Das ist kein Slogan. Das ist eine Haltung. Und sie verändert alles.Wenn du spüren möchtest, wo du gerade stehst, mach den FreiDuSelbst-Test: ein stiller Spiegel, keine Bewertung, keine Schublade. Nur du und was in dir wirklich lebt. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There are some places on earth that flower people put on a bucket list and never quite cross off. Holland's flower bulb region is one of them. The fields outside Keukenhof, where tulips bloom in waves of color every spring and tourists from around the world stop their cars on the side of the road just to take a picture. For Linda and Marlies of FAM Flower Farm, that landscape is daily life.Linda and Marlies grew up as friends in middle school, both surrounded by flowers. Linda married Henk, a tulip grower whose family has farmed the same land for 240 years. Marlies married Hubert, whose grandfather was a dahlia man and whose fields now produce millions of dahlia tubers a year. For most of their adult lives, the two friends watched their husbands grow flowers that traveled the world without ever knowing where they ended up.Then, around a dinner table about seven years ago, an idea was born. Why not show people the beauty of the farm? Why not build a direct relationship with the gardeners who plant these bulbs? FAM Flower Farm became that bridge. A consumer brand built on top of two separate family farms, run by two women who can finish each other's sentences.In this conversation, we talk about everything from harvesting tulips with machines that mow entire fields in a few hours, to selling complete dahlia clumps instead of dividing them, to what it means to be authentic in a world flooded with AI. We also talk about their new slogan, "Grow Your Own Happiness," and what they want every gardener to feel when they open one of their boxes.What you'll hear in this episode: How two lifelong friends built a global brand on top of two separate family farms The magic of Holland's sandy soil and sea climate (and why most dahlia tubers in the world come from a few small kilometers) Why FAM ships full dahlia clumps instead of cutting them apart the U.S. way How AI, robots, and authenticity are reshaping flower farming in EuropeIf this episode stirs something in you, share it with a friend who dreams of growing flowers, or visiting Holland someday.

Marlies married Hubert, whose family farm produces over 200 varieties of dahlias for export across Europe.

Rondom Internationale Vrouwendag 2026 stond voor de NBA de kracht van rolmodellen centraal. Maar wat bedoelen we eigenlijk met een rolmodel? En wat betekenen rolmodellen voor de accountancysector in de praktijk? In deze aflevering van Vitamine A gaan we in gesprek met prof. dr. Marlies de Vries RA, hoogleraar Behavioural Audit, Assurance & Control aan Nyenrode en voormalig Kwartiermaker Toekomst Accountancysector.

We bespreken de zichtbaarheid van vrouwen in leiderschapsposities, de invloed van cultuur en organisatie-inrichting op carrièrekansen, en de vraag hoeveel verantwoordelijkheid bij individuen ligt en hoeveel bij het systeem. Ook komt de persoonlijke kant aan bod: welke rolmodellen hebben Marlies zelf gevormd? En hoe kijkt zij naar haar eigen rol als voorbeeld voor anderen?
