SOCIAL NEWS

On my way to my first flight tomorrow. ✈️
A mix of excitement, gratitude — and a quiet kind of pride.

Coming back to the skies doesn’t mean leaving sport behind.
Sport shaped me.
It taught me discipline, resilience, and how to listen to my body — lessons I’ll always carry with me.

This chapter is about combining worlds.
Flying again.
And at the same time, sharing my knowledge and experience with athletes who are on their own journeys.

I’m still Svenja the athlete.
Just in a different role now — one that allows me to give back, guide, and support.

Life doesn’t have to be one thing only.
Sometimes the most beautiful paths are the ones where chapters meet. 🤍

Throwback to a dream that never really left. ✈️

Before professional sport took over my life, I was already flying above the clouds.
Being a flight attendant was a childhood dream – one I fulfilled, then put aside again and again for racing, training, chasing finish lines. 🏊 🚲 🏃‍♀️ 💨

Life took a different turn… 🚲 💥 🤕
and somehow brought me back here. ✈️

I’m deeply grateful to slowly return
and I’m truly looking forward to my first flights again on January 31st and February 1st.
Not perfect. Not pain-free.
But with a full heart ❤️ and so much appreciation.

Sometimes you don’t move on to something new –
you simply come back to yourself. 🤍

After a longer pause, it feels good to share this again. ✈️

I’ve completed my training with Condor and I’m slowly finding my way back above the clouds — as a flight attendant.
A childhood dream I once fulfilled, but one that had to step into the background again and again because of professional sport.

The consequences of my accident don’t make this journey easy.
Some days are harder than others.
But I’m choosing joy, gratitude, and the courage to try — step by step, flight by flight.

There is a reason Condor says #wirliebenfliegen.
And I’m learning to love it again — in my own way, at my own pace. 🤍 my first flight 31.1.😻

I’m happily discovering a newness in me that is very, very beautiful.

It didn’t come from easy days.
It came from slowing down, letting go, and listening closely to myself.

Growth doesn’t always feel loud or dramatic —
sometimes it’s quiet, gentle, and deeply honest.

I’m learning to meet myself where I am…
and to love what’s unfolding. 🤍

Your dreams are talking to you.
If you want to change your life — you have to listen… and act.

No one is coming to do it for you.
Growth starts the moment you decide to choose yourself,
even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it’s scary.

Small steps. Honest effort. Real commitment.
That’s how lives change. 🤍
