YOUCARE Edit #002 💚
We often ask women what they do – but far too rarely what they have learned.
YOUCARE Edit is our space for the reflections, experiences and advice that deserve a little more room.
In this edition, we asked Caroline Lyhne about motherhood, balance, bodily changes – and the advice she wishes she could give her younger self.
One sentence in particular stayed with us:
“That the body changes throughout life, and that you have to meet it with more love and less criticism.”
Perhaps that is exactly what we need to be reminded of. To meet ourselves – and our bodies – with more care and less criticism 🌱

Name:
Caroline Lyhne Hansen
3 words that describe me:
Creative, caring and honest
Dream job as a child:
Something creative where I could create something myself — I have always loved ideas, colors and thinking differently.
What you might not know about me:
I really overthink a lot, but I also use it as a strength in everything creative I do.
My guilty pleasure:
Far too many snacks late in the evening and reality TV I really shouldn't be so invested in.
Right now I am focused on:
Finding balance between ambitions, creativity, family life and simply remembering myself in it all.
When do you feel most in balance?
When I feel present and am not constantly trying to reach the next thing. Small, calm everyday moments mean more to me than I thought before.
My go-to self-care is:
Long walks, a good coffee, music in my ears and time away from screens.
What have you learned about your body in the past couple of years?
That the body changes throughout life, and that you have to meet it with more love and less criticism.
My favorite YOUCARE product:
Something I wish we talked about more openly:
How closely hormonal balance, intimate health and mental well-being are actually connected - and how many women feel alone with things that are actually completely normal.
My best advice to my younger self:
You don't have to have everything figured out, all the time. It's okay to change direction, outgrow things and take things at your own pace 🤍
