We often ask women what they do – but far too rarely what they have learned.
That is why we are launching YOUCARE Edit – a new format where inspiring women share the experiences and good advice they wish they had received earlier in life.
In the first edition, you meet Luisa Gundersen, who shares the advice she wishes she could give her younger self.
It is about passing experiences on. About sharing the insights that can make a difference for other women. And about creating space for the conversations we far too rarely have.
What advice would you give your younger self? 🌱
__________________
Name:
Luisa Gundersen
3 words that describe me:
Creative, reflective and impulsive.
Dream job as a child:
To become an author.
What you might not know about me:
I don't like candy. I can eat a single piece of chocolate, but then I usually have had enough - unless it is Dubai Chocolate!
My guilty pleasure:
Buying overpriced matcha and buldak noodles
Right now I am focused on:
Developing myself both professionally and creatively. In my studies I am focused on the child's perspective and the psychological aspect behind their development. In my spare time I am focused on expressing myself creatively through content creation.
When do you feel most in balance?
When I sit outside, either in the park or on the balcony, and just enjoy the weather, the calm and nature.
My go-to self-care is:
Rubbing a lovely cream all over my body and taking time for small, calm moments.
What have you learned about your body in the past couple of years?
That it is completely natural for the body to develop and change in your 20s, when the female body truly comes into its own. I have learned to meet those changes with more calm and acceptance.
My favorite YOUCARE product:
Intimate Shave Mist - it has really helped me avoid irritation after shaving.
Something I wish we talked about more openly:
How normal irritation after intimate and regular shaving actually is, and what a difference the right products can make.
My best advice to my younger self:
Don't take negative things personally, and remember that you cannot control other people's actions - only your own mindset. Choose your battles wisely, and protect your energy and inner peace.
