The stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape & transform our lives 

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 our biology, family, care givers, societal culture and inherited from previous generations...our inner narratives drive our life...we become the capable one, sensitive one, the perfectionist, the tough one, the seeker of approval.

 

At midlife something shifts, a natural cycle when what we’ve suppressed, ignored or masked demands to be heard. Carl Jung called this enantiodromia. It shows up as a sense that the life you’ve built no longer fits who you are. It reveals itself in dreams, in what no longer feels like home, or as painful autoimmune flares. It arrives as deep-seated rage for the years of self-abandonment, crushing grief for unlived lives or lost versions of ourselves.

 

It's a hunger for greater aliveness...to begin the slow, tender work of unravelling outdated, untold stories, building a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
