L1 Interview with Pascale about the ‘New Normal’ in times of covid-19. Here is the text in Ditch:
‘In de rubriek ‘Het nieuwe normaal’ komt elke week een prominente Limburger aan het woord over de coronacrisis. In het eerste interview: Pascale Bruinen, ze is schrijver, spreker en trainer.
“Deze crisis laat zien dat het leven niet honderd procent maakbaar is. Dat wisten we al, maar dat krijgen we nu in ons gezicht gedrukt. Ik besteed veel tijd aan het optimaliseren van mijn gezondheid. Verse groente en vers fruit, noten, water en groene thee. Elke dag een wandeling en bij mooi weer yoga in de tuin. Omdat de sportschool dicht is heb ik zelf barbells gemaakt door gewichten aan een bezemsteel vast te maken. Wat betreft de innerlijke kant: ik maak bewust ruimte voor mentale ontspanning.”

“Ik ontwaar dat hier en daar al. In hoeverre dat standhoudt? Ik denk daar veel over na, maar kan er nog geen antwoord op formuleren. Dat hangt af van hoelang deze crisis zal voortduren. Als deze situatie het nieuwe normaal wordt, zullen meer mensen zich die fundamentele vragen gaan stellen. Dan komt er wellicht een nieuw evenwicht.”

15 January 2019
Regional newspaper De Limburger has published another article written by Pascale, entitled: ‘The healing power of the mind’. About how to use mind power – for instance with visualization – to improve your health. Not instead of regular medical treatment or medicines and a healthy lifestyle, but in addition to these, so it can strengthen their efficacy. Taking into account the many positive reactions to Pascale’s article on social media, it is clear that this is a socially relevant subject for many people.
Beautiful and encouraging to see this, because it is about time that people become more aware of these possibilities and the practical ways in which they can use these in order to become the co-directer of their own health.

De Limburger has published Pascale’s article ‘Weg met het ziekenhuis’. It pleads to change some names in Dutch healthcare that have wrong, negative, associations. Pascale likes to choose new alternative names, for instance to change ‘patient’ into ‘co-director healing’. Not only can such new names lead to more positive conditioning, but they also reinforce that people take responsibility for their own health and well being.

Today Pascale had the photoshoot of Marie Claire Fashion Magazine! Thanks to the great team consisting of fashion photographer Suzanne Rensink, producer Gina Pesulima, make up artist Maaike Beijer and stylist Famke Mesman, it was a wonderful day. Pascale: ‘These four ladies are not only excellent professionals, but they also have very nice and warm personalities. For these reasons, they immediately made me feel at home so the shoot was a wrap in no time. Unfortunately, I had to give back the beautiful offwhite suit. Luckily, I decided to buy it a few days later :-). I was not so sad to hand over the shoes as I was not able to walk on them …(the evidence of which you can probably see in one of the pictures below). Mid May, the magazine will be in stores with the article about four strong women (next to me, they have portraits of a lawyer, judge and vice detective).’

Because the iconic magazine Harper’s Bazaar ‘enormously admires Pascale on account of the careerpath that she have taken’, in the spring of 2015 Pascale was chosen to be ‘Woman of the Week’, the start-up phase for the election of ‘Woman of the Year 2015’. With this election, Harper’s Bazaar pays hommage to women who have accomplished something special within their field of expertise. ‘Harper’s Bazaar honours and crowns national and international luminaries: Women who show vision, courage, engagement and style’. A great honor!
With ten out of fifty nominees there was a trailer recorded on the backseat of a very nice Mercedes and Pascale was one of the happy few. Editor-in-chief Cécile Narinx interviewed me about careerchoices and everything regarding her work as a prosecutor. For the trailer, please click on play below or click on this link:

Unfortunately, on December 14th 2015 Pascale did not win the Award for Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year 2015. Pascale: ‘I admit that my ego found this somewhat of a shame because when you’ve come that far, you also want to win. But I had to concede to the winner, actress Sophie Hilbrand for her tv-show ‘Sophie’s Wrinkles’ (‘Sophie in de Kreukels’). She is a justified winner!’
Knowing that Pascale was chosen by Harper’s Bazaar as a nominee together with world famous athlete Dafne Schippers, actresses Birgit and Katja Schuurman, actress and musical star Chantal Janzen, fashion icon Nikkie Plessen, actress Hanna Verboom, politician for animal rights Marianne Thieme and world class actress Carice van Houten, Pascale went back home with pride and her head held high.
So thank you very much, editor-in-chief Cécile Narinx of Harper’s Bazaar for this great honour and the unforgettable night!
