About Filip de Groeve
Filip began his career as a pharmacist but soon discovered his true calling: breaking taboos and telling stories that stick.
For more than 20 years, he listened to:
- Women sharing their pregnancy journeys—often full of unspoken fears.
- Mothers discussing their insecurities—afraid they aren't doing enough.
- Patients struggling with intimate health issues—paralyzed by stigma.
Time and again, he saw the same problem: the taboo is often larger than the problem itself. In lieu of finding support, people withdraw into silence.
