From East Germany to the Gypsy Rebel Life with Jacqueline van Bierk | Aligned & Abundant Ep. 36

What happens when you stop waiting for the “right time” and start living life on your own terms?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jacqueline van Bierk — a singer-songwriter, creative nomad, and host of Her Gypsy Rebel podcast. Jacqueline’s story is wildly powerful: from escaping East Germany as a young girl, to finding “home” in New York, to building a life rooted in freedom, reinvention, and deep self-trust.

This is the kind of conversation that reminds you: you’re allowed to choose again. You’re allowed to start over. You’re allowed to want more. You are allowed to choose freedom.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in routine, craving a reset, or hearing that quiet inner nudge that something wants to change… this episode will meet you right there.
