My Story

When I was a kid, I was brave, I was kind, generous, creative, studious… I believed that kindness and harmony were the most important things in life.

​

Early enough, these qualities started to look like weaknesses, almost threats to high self-esteem and a successful life. Nice, generous and benevolent didn’t seem to be a good start for the ‘Rock star’ I had in me.

​

Some people or events take so much space in your life that it feels like you don’t have other choices than comply. It makes you believe that you have to sacrifice part of your own identity to fit the expectations or, even, to survive.

​

Yet these nuances, all of them, always are a part of you.

​

Sometimes, it was coming out, like a loud beat: bravery, ambition, self-love, fun, perseverance…  while I was dancing, listening to music, or surrounded by loved ones.

​

Overtime, this rhythm, this beat started to grow, louder and louder, helping me making decisions for myself: moving to healthier relationships, aiming for higher goals professionally, taking care of myself, expecting more from life.

​

​

The beat was there, the vibrations sang: it is all up to you!

​

If you leave it to be, the sound just becomes so loud that it leaves you with no other choice than to act. If you don’t, life will turn it even louder, sharper, to make you react: an hurtful conversation with a loved one, a chaotic wedding day, a sick child, a dismission at work… will push you to do the changes.

​

It all left deep marks in my life. It brought me back to fear, to darker places. It kept me in the comfort of victimhood for a time.

​

Until one day, I gave me no choice than to act. I claimed back accountability on each event and decisions in my life, good or bad. I focused on getting better. I worked on myself and kept on growing, to feel healthier, mentally and physically. It is a never-ending quest and I do it for me and for the people I love.

Now, I wear these "scars" with my head up. Now, I see that the way I manage each events of my life, has always been up to me.

​

I am the one creating the music, letting other’s beat, in or not. Only me can decide to archive an event as history or to you play it, as the main tune, over and over.

You might not always be the cause of what happened, but you are always responsible of your overall melody.

 I decided to switch from fear to trust, to engage unconditionally with my life:

​

• Who I really want to be?

• What I really want to do?

• What and who is really important for me?

​

I decided to embrace my past and to choose my legacy.

​

I decided to master the music.

​

I decided to own back my identity.

​

Today, I feel lucky, empowered and grateful for having build this life for myself.

​

Each day comes with challenges and gifts, and I follow my own beat,

​

I create my own Harmony.
