what stories are driving your life?

Welcome

Hi, I'm Marie. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: the stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape and transform our lives. Influenced by family, caregivers, culture, and previous generations, many of us became the woman who learned to dim herself, soften her intellect and quiet her heart just to belong. We became those stories.

At midlife a natural cycle occurs, we sense the life we’ve been living no longer fits who we are. This arrives as painful autoimmune flare-ups, deep-seated rage for the years of self-abandonment, or crushing grief for unlived lives. Our nests empty, careers are in flux, a relationship is lost or there is the intrepidation of a new beginning. These shadowy times also bring to the surface all we suppressed, ignored or masked.

 

This next chapter is not about the old stories, t's the gentle work of listening to our body and stories not yet told. We were never built to dampen down our edges, it's how we come alive.
