| E38 | Redefining Identity Amidst Childlessness: A Journey Towards Acceptance with Marie-Helene Brody | 04 Dec 2024 | 01:03:58 | |
"You have to want it. You have to want to transform. You have to want to reinvent yourself. And that comes with growing pains. It's difficult to do, but if you are able to learn to love life again in this other way, in this other life that you didn't choose, it's a pretty good life." - Marie-Helene Brody
In this episode, listeners are invited into an insightful conversation between host Marie-Eve Bédard and Marie Helene Brody, a bilingual speech-language pathologist specializing in young children with language disorders and developmental challenges like autism.
Marie-Helene offers a unique perspective on both professional and personal growth.
The conversation takes a poignant turn towards Marie-Helene’s five-year struggle with infertility involving several medical interventions (insemination, IVF treatments, egg donation, etc.).
This journey was fraught with emotional exhaustion compounded by multiple miscarriages which led her to seek therapy—a crucial step toward healing where she learned self-compassion amidst grief.
Her narrative reflects broader themes prevalent among many women who face societal pressures regarding motherhood—pressures demanding acknowledgment alongside internal dialogues promoting kindness towards oneself during such trials.
Tune in now to hear more about her story!
Marie-Helene's Bio:
I am a 49 year-old childless woman who lives in the Greater Montreal Area in Quebec. I am a Speech-Language-Pathologist who works with young children who have language and developmental difficulties in private practice for the last 17 years. I am also married and I have been with my spouse for the last 17 years. We had two cats for many years, one passed away last year, we are left with our 16 year old cat that we adopted when we first got together. We tried having a child for about 10 years (from early 30s to early 40s), tried at home, with IVF, many early miscarriages, operations, egg donation, nothing worked. I went to therapy for two years bc I was lost in my identity and my grief was so intense. I finally found Femme Sans Enfant, a saving life line for me...women who understood from the inside what I was going through. They are my second family. I have also contributed actively to further the cause of childless women and people: I participated in many (7) university studies in the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, women studies, fine arts, and poetry, by sharing my experience. I also made a video interview with Catherine Emmanuelle Delisle, the founder of FSE about my experience, which she shared during her many conferences to women and childless people here in Quebec and in France. I also participated a few years ago in a TV program here in Quebec called Rire Sans Tabou on childless and childfree people, two men, two women, by choice and by circumstance. I participate every year in the World Childless Week by writing a text online on different topics, like the importance of our pets in our lives. After MUCH work on myself, I am finally at peace with being childless, when I had thought it was not possible...

| E37 | Foggy Morning Musings: Known vs. Unknown Discomforts | 27 Nov 2024 | 00:11:46 | |
"There is more freedom in the unknown discomfort than there is in the known discomfort." - Marie-Eve Bédard This episode dives into how fog, much like snowstorms, can create an introspective space that invites us to embrace both external and internal changes. Host Marie-Eve begins her narrative by painting a vivid picture of a fog-laden morning in November. The scene evokes memories of snowy days back home in Montreal, Canada—a place synonymous with chilly winters and cozy indoors. For many, snow and fog symbolize coldness; for her, they represent warmth and coziness. It's an invitation to slow down, introspect, and find internal calm amidst external chaos. Join her on an actual walk through the Black Forest in Germany!

| E29 | Embracing Vulnerability & Redefining Self-Care Amid Societal Challenges with Anick Desrosiers | 02 Oct 2024 | 01:13:39 | |
"To me, being realist means that you see the things that are going not well, but you also see the possibilities for you and for your community to make things better.

| E26 | Embracing the Journey of Life and Death | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:17:39 | |
"It was so scary to think about holding spaces and accompanying people at the end of their lives, but as I leaned into it, I realized it was my soul's contract, my divine purpose calling me forward." - Marie-Eve Bédard In this deeply personal episode, Marie-Eve shares the beginning of a new and vulnerable chapter in her life: starting her two-year training to become a death midwife. She reflects on her lifelong fascination with the cycle of life and death—a curiosity that, from childhood, sparked anxiety but has now evolved into a profound calling. As she embarks on this training, Marie-Eve opens up about the fear and inner work she is navigating to fully embrace this role. She discusses the importance of balancing the human experience—our fears, uncertainties, and emotions—with the divine wisdom that guides us through life’s most profound transitions. Marie-Eve also shares insights from her own experiences, from working in a funeral home during her studies in biology to accompanying loved ones in their final moments. She talks about the delicate balance of holding space for others while maintaining self-care and the vital role of having a support system in such sacred work. In this episode, Marie-Eve touches on the significance of community, the power of leaning on each other, and the courage it takes to walk through fear. By embracing life and death together, we can unlock profound meaning, growth, and the freedom to live fully. Join Marie-Eve as she starts this journey, reflecting on what it means to live and die with intention, connection, and love.

| Do You Hear Her When She Says: Not This Way? | 12 Jun 2024 | 00:17:42 | |

| Understanding Equanimity: Stories About Life's Waves | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:20:20 | |
"Bad luck brings good luck and good luck brings bad luck. This happens without end and nobody can estimate it." In this episode, I introduce "Summer Heat Celebrations," a unique 24-day event taking place on Telegram where I will share daily thoughts and behind-the-scenes insights during my travels. I contrast storytelling about past experiences with sharing real-time reflections, offering participants an intimate look at how I navigate life. The discussion shifts rapidly to a deeper topic that has been on my mind – equanimity. Equanimity is presented as a misunderstood concept often confused with indifference. Through stories like "The Old Man Who Lost His Horse" and "The Monk in the Boat," listeners are encouraged to view life's events not as personal fortune or misfortune but simply as occurrences that can offer lessons and growth opportunities. By cultivating mindfulness, we learn not to let external circumstances define us or control our reactions. Instead, we can respond thoughtfully and maintain mental balance even amidst challenges. Listeners interested in exploring these themes further are invited to join the "Summer Heat Celebrations" for daily doses of wisdom on living freely without being swayed by life’s metaphorical waves.

| Trailblazing Women: Pioneering a New Era of Female Entrepreneurship with Josiane Turcotte | 29 May 2024 | 01:03:05 | |
"It's really hard sometimes just to see yourself. That's why when somebody is coaching you, they can take a step back and have an overall view." - Josiane Turcotte In this enlightening episode of The ReEnvision Podcast, I had the pleasure to engage in a profound conversation with special guest Josiane Turcotte, founder of Youphoria. We dive into a myriad of topics including personal development, women's empowerment, entrepreneurship, mindset shifts, subconscious studies, energy work, NLP and Reiki and beyond! The discussion reveals how understanding oneself at a deeper level can lead to making better life choices and aligning business strategies with one’s intuition. This episode serves as an insightful exploration into how deep self-awareness can empower individuals—especially women—to break free from limiting beliefs that hinder both personal fulfillment and professional achievement. It underscores the importance of blending strategy with soulful introspection for true entrepreneurial success. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own thought patterns related to work-life balance while considering if they’re staying true or falling into societal molds that don’t serve them personally or professionally. For those looking forward eagerly toward achieving greater alignment between their inner selves and outward actions within their careers or businesses should consider reaching out for guidance similar like that provided by experts like Josiane and I. Boundless Love, ME

| Interconnected Minds: Scientific and Spiritual Insights from a Neurodiverse Perspective with Dr. Rabia Subhani | 22 May 2024 | 00:47:17 | |
"When your soul finds its home, your heart is going to know." - Dr. Rabia Subhani In this episode of The ReEnvision Podcast, we dive into a conversation that bridges the gap between science and spirituality with Dr. Rabia Subhani, a neuropsychologist whose journey has led her from the rigors of scientific inquiry to the depths of Sufi mysticism. Dr. Subhani's narrative is not just about personal transformation; it's an exploration into how embracing our spiritual path can profoundly influence our professional lives. She brings to light her commitment to a neurodivergent affirming paradigm—viewing conditions like autism and ADHD as natural variations in human cognition rather than disorders—and how this perspective shapes her practice. Our discussion transcends conventional boundaries as we touch on themes central not only to Sufism but universal across cultures: compassion, authenticity, and interconnectedness. Through Dr. Subhani’s lens, we see that these ancient teachings are more relevant now than ever in promoting personal growth and understanding within society. She talks about the importance of recognizing each individual’s unique contribution without feeling compelled to 'fix' them—an approach that resonates deeply in today’s world where inclusivity is key yet often sidelined by outdated notions of normality. This enlightening dialogue offers insights for both professionals in mental health fields and anyone seeking alignment between their inner truth and outer work. It reminds us that at our core lies an interwoven tapestry of experiences calling us towards greater fulfillment—not through changing who we are but by embracing it wholly. Join me on this profound journey with Dr. Subhani—a testament to what becomes possible when one aligns their purpose with their deepest spiritual convictions. Boundless Love, ME Stay in the know and keep getting inspired: ----- About my special guest: Hi! I'm Dr. Rabia Subhani and I'm a neurodivergent neuropsychologist, a multi passionate entrepreneur, and a heartfulness coach™. But beyond all these titles, the identities I am most passionate about are Mother and Sufi! As a psychologist, I complete adult assessments for autism via telehealth, specializing in women, genderqueer, and trans individuals. As an entrepreneur, I have started more than a dozen businesses, the most recent being an app for making neurodivergent connections called Neurospicy which will be live soon. As a devout follower of Rumi’s lineage, via the Threshold Society, I am a dervish on the “Radical Path of Love” as Sufism is known. Ultimately, all I do and am comes from a soul-deep well of unlimited love and acceptance of all beings as One. Living in heartful presence with a sense of joy is my daily practice. As Rumi says, “turning your very self into sweetness is better than getting you 100 sweets.” To connect with Dr. Rabia Subhani: - IG:

| Self-Love, Identity Shifts and Acceptance in the Service of Greater Contribution with Julie Dessureault | 15 May 2024 | 00:54:26 | |
"I would realize that my own clients would not see themselves the way I would see them. So I was like, okay, I need other skills for myself and for my clients. We cannot just hide ourselves and not live to the fullest because everything is not perfect. It doesn't work like that." - Julie Dessureault In a world that often feels like it's spinning faster than we can keep up, finding our grounding through personal growth and self-expression is more important than ever. In this episode, we dive Julie Dessureault's story, an extraordinary photographer whose life journey and work have become synonymous with transformation, empowerment, and authenticity. Julie is not just a master behind the lens; she is also a beacon of empowerment for women. Her journey through personal struggles with body image has led her to adopt a philosophy centered on internal transformation rather than external approval. This shift has profoundly impacted both her life and those of her clients. In our discussion, we delved into how vulnerability can be incredibly powerful – something that became evident during an emotional photoshoot we shared. Julie's experiences with weight loss surgery and embracing her own scars have fueled her work ethic and personal ethos, teaching us all that self-love isn't about chasing perfection but about respecting every part of oneself. We also touched upon the importance of breaking free from societal expectations, setting healthy boundaries, and committing to introspection. These themes are deeply woven into Julie’s narrative and are reflected in the strength and authenticity now synonymous with her brand. I am truly honored to share her insights here with you. Boundless Love, ME Stay in the know and keep getting inspired: ----- About my Special Guest: I AM JULIE. The Kodak Angel and self-love specialist. I'm the creator of the Corps Joyeux coaching program and an activist for body diversity. An artist at heart and an empath, I contribute to openness and well-being with my knowledge of photography, my passion for women and my philosophy of sensitivity to all beings on their journey. The medicine of my camera is a form of photography in which the inner connection comes first. It is with finesse and joy that I accompany women entrepreneurs towards the full expansion of their personality, propelling their brand and liberating the expression of their essence. Much more than a brand photographer, I'm a personal brand identity coach. I'm creative, emancipated and always ready to make you shine. My goal goes beyond image to: - help you develop your identity, - propel you towards excellence, - and reveal the unique light within you. I often say "Whoever wants to learn to love himself follows me...". MY KODAK IS MY RIGHT ARM For more than 25 years, my camera has been giving me its secrets. Not all the clicks I've made have been conclusive, especially when it came to taking pictures of myself. I've photographed and accompanied thousands of women. I've learned a lot from them and from the professional training courses I've taken over the years. Thanks to this revealing path and all the wonderful photos you could take with your cell phone, I invite you to follow me on the adventure of the selfie and the Happy Body.

| Of War Jets and Fear: The Power of the Present Moment | 08 May 2024 | 00:16:39 | |
"What I didn't realize was that I was claiming back the space that belonged to the present moment, which also brings me back to my power - in the present, to my connection in the present moment." - Marie-Eve Bédard In this reflective episode recorded on-the-go, I take you on an introspective journey from the tranquility of a forest setting. As I navigate through my thoughts and the unexpected early morning disruptions caused by military planes overhead, I explore the themes of fear, change, and presence. Throughout the episode, I delve into the importance of acknowledging and working through fears stored in our bodies. Living in Europe amidst current events like the Ukraine war has profoundly impacted my sense of safety, highlighting the realization that geographical proximity to conflict zones can bring about a heightened awareness of global issues. Moreover, I examine how our minds react to both real and imagined threats, blurring lines between past traumas or future anxieties with present reality. I share strategies for reclaiming power through mindfulness practices that anchor us back into the present moment and discuss the physiological response to fear as energy moves throughout our body – understanding masculine reactive energy versus feminine grounding energy. Additionally, I offer practical advice on how to ground oneself during moments of anxiety or discomfort, extending an invitation for listeners who wish to learn more about managing their emotional responses.

| The Path to Living Fully Through Courageously Claiming Grief | 01 May 2024 | 00:33:21 | |
"What happens in the darkness is there's no more noise. What happens in the darkness is there's no more distractions. What happens in the darkness is we finally see that the vulnerable sides of us are linked to that inner light. The uniqueness of ourselves is linked to our light." - Marie-Eve Bédard Today's conversation dives deep into the heart of change, vulnerability, and discovering one’s true purpose in life, from unexpected beginnings to finding purpose amidst generational trauma, grief, and resilience. I share how my spiritual exploration and experiences with loss shaped my path towards internal healing and growth.

| A Season of Remembrance from Palm Sunday to Mother's Day | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:19:24 | |
"I want you to remember that you have always the choice. You have always the agency. You have always that light within that you can really draw and really put to use in saying, I'm going forward. I'm going forward because this is who I am, because this is what I came here to experience, And this is where I show how much of a warrior I am." - Marie-Eve Welcome to Season 3 of The ReEnvision Podcast! In this inaugural episode, I dive into a deeply personal and reflective narrative about life, loss, spirituality, and the human experience. Fourteen years ago marked not only a pivotal moment in my life but also began a recurring season of introspection from Palm Sunday through Mother's Day. In other words, every year in the Spring, I enter an Season of Remembrance. In this particular episode, I reflect how Easter's shifting dates serve as an annual reminder of the period leading up to my mother’s passing on April 23rd, 2010, due to metastasized breast cancer. You'll be taken back to 2010 when I returned from working in the Maldives as a scuba diving instructor and biologist to be with my terminally ill mother. Amidst planning for future endeavors like visiting Paris – a dream my mother and I both shared – we faced, as a family, challenging decisions regarding palliative care and pharmaceutical trials for her. In one of the most profound conversations with my mother during that time, I shared with her how important it was for me to empower her with choice and agency over continuing or ending treatment based on quality of life rather than mere survival. This poignant discussion highlights themes such as personal power, emotional intelligence, resilience, courage, and unconditional love. As I vividly recall moments that encapsulate the indomitable spirit within us all; like witnessing my mother joyously singing along to Christina Aguilera’s rendition of the song “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” despite being gravely ill - illustrating that even at our lowest points there remains an inner light ready to shine forth against all odds. As we continue through Season 3, you can expect more explorations into embracing humanity's essence alongside insights into soul purpose particularly aimed at empowering women with deep-seated truths about themselves. Join us for this new season of The ReEnvision Podcast where vulnerability meets empowerment. Boundless Love, ME Stay in the know and keep getting inspired: | |||

| Childless and Childfree: Women Embracing Unconventional Life Experiences with Catherine-Emmanuelle Delisle | 28 Feb 2024 | 00:52:33 | |
"Our lives are worthy. They are. Even though society tells us we're supposed to be mothers, we need to embrace our difference." - Catherine-Emmanuelle Delisle
In this episode, I had the pleasure to engage in an enlightening conversation with Catherine-Emmanuelle Delisle from Femme sans Enfant (Women without Children) who has been making significant strides in supporting women navigating through life without children.
The discussion delves into the complexities and societal pressures surrounding motherhood and childlessness, offering insights into personal experiences, healing journeys, and empowerment.
An episode filled with love, kindness, compassion and gold nuggets for the soul.

Catherine-Emmanuelle Delisle TRA, Therapist for Relationship Assistance & Specialist in the experience of women without children
At the age of 14, not experiencing puberty, she learned that she was suffering from unexplained amenorrhea: she had no eggs. She was prescribed anovulants, which triggered her puberty. Within 6 months, she was able to make her new female body her own, while repressing the fact that she would never be able to have biological children.
Living to the age of 35 in mourning, she joined an American support group for women like her. When this adventure came to an end, something clicked: she had to share her experience with other women and let their stories be heard.
This led to the creation of her blog, femmesansenfant.com, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year! Her existential quest to be seen, heard and recognized gradually metamorphosed into a deep desire to help childless women like her.
She became a counseling therapist through ANDC in 2021. She now accompanies, listens to and validates the experiences of childless women around the world, while equipping them to regain the power over their lives.
She's touched to say that she now leads a life very different from what she had imagined, but rich in relationships and creativity, in the suburbs of Montreal with her two cats.

| Recovery and Healing: Finding the Balance Between Rest and Movement | 21 Feb 2024 | 00:17:19 | |
"What do you need to rest without judging yourself, without saying or thinking this doesn't make any sense, and communicate it with trusted people around you." - Marie-Eve
As I observe my dog Nanook’s behavior post-surgery, I felt the call to translate it into broader insights about caring for those who are recovering, healing or grieving.
Whether its ourselves or our loved ones.
I also talk about how we can often struggle both with identifying what we/they need during times of distress and how we/they communicate these needs effectively.

| Unifying Our Being: ONE The Membership Opening Call | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:32:41 | |
"When we shift our lens and we shift our perspective that THAT is the truth, then we allow those internal distortions to inform us on how to dismantle the walls within and how to unify our being from within. And this is why I created ONE. ONE, because we are ONE. We are meant to be ONE within ourselves, we are ONE in our human experience, and we are ONE with the environment around us. There's a wholeness."
- Marie-Eve
In this episode, I decided to share the opening call from ONE The Membership that was launched in February of this year.
I talk about transformative experiences with surfing in Mexico and how it parallels life lessons about going with the flow rather than against it. I also reflect on my past as a scuba diving instructor and biologist in the Maldives, emphasizing drift diving's metaphor for energy conservation by moving with currents instead of resisting them.
The conversation shifts to personal growth, highlighting the importance of aligning actions with natural inclinations rather than societal expectations. I discuss letting go of my diving certification after years of teaching among other things, embracing simplicity in all aspects of my life, and finding joy and true freedom.
I dive into my decision to create a membership community at a time that felt intuitively right – without waiting for external validation or participation. This initiative is rooted in self-trust and inviting others who resonate with my vision.
Delving deeper into self-awareness, I encourage listeners to consider their alignment with current life paths. By observing emotional responses without judgment, we can learn more about ourselves and potentially adjust our courses.
After a few deep breaths designed to release tension and foster relaxation, I explain how internal narratives shape reality. I cite "Conversations With God" books as influential resources that echo themes discussed during the podcast – particularly around soul purpose and experience shaping identity.
Lastly, I touch upon cognitive biases affecting perception versus prediction processes within our brains—emphasizing awareness over automaticity—and call for dismantling internal distortions blocking soul connections.
The closing message invites listeners towards unity within themselves for an authentic expression of being—one that embraces love, joy, happiness unimpeded by conditioning or fear-based barriers.

| The Journey to Compassionate Living: A Vegan Anniversary Reflection | 31 Jan 2024 | 00:20:08 | |
"We didn't go into veganism in a lack mindset; we went into it with an abundance mindset."
- Marie-Eve Bédard
Join me on a special day marking the 8-year anniversary of my husband's and I transition to veganism—a journey that has been life-changing, aligning with our values of environmental friendliness, health consciousness, and ethical living.
In this episode, I share my early passion for biology and the environment and how it evolved into a deep commitment to plant-based nutrition, influenced by personal experiences and an awakening to the broader implications of food choices.
Reflective yet celebratory, this episode delves into the deeply personal aspects behind choosing a compassionate lifestyle aligned with one’s beliefs and values—and invites listeners on similar paths or curious minds seeking guidance in making impactful changes related to diet and beyond.

| Quieting the Critical Voice and Moving in Creative Ways with Diane Jacobowitz | 24 Jan 2024 | 01:14:04 | |
"Movement becomes this incredible outlet to freedom, an outlet to express themselves through their body. That is such a beautiful opportunity for all of us who have human bodies you know. Which means everybody. Everybody can move." - Diane Jacobowitz
We all face personal struggles alongside global crises. When we internalize these challenges, they manifest as stress or anxiety within us.
However, inner peace is crucial—it acts like ripples on water, extending its calming influence outwardly into our interactions with others.
We cannot hope to mend external discord without first addressing the turmoil inside us; thus, nurturing tranquility within should be paramount.
This is the conversation I had with my dear friend Diane Jacobowitz. We talked about love, compassion, tapping and movement—among other things that will inspire you to be YOU.

| The Relationship Within with Claude Khalil | 28 Dec 2023 | 01:08:33 | |
"The faith that I have is, even if I fall, even if there's no step to step on, I'll be ok. It's even further than the faith that everything will show up. Because even if it doesn't, I'll be ok. This is where I trust in my soul, in myself to get out of anything, to accomplish anything." - Claude Khalil As an eternal student of life, I'm deeply invested in both personal development and business growth as well as continually fascinated by the interconnectedness of these realms. In this episode, I have an insightful interaction with one of my mentors that underscored this connection. Our conversation revolved around self-awareness, inner development and the importance of boundaries – themes that are as relevant to our professional lives as they are to our personal ones. Understanding one's belief system is crucial when building resonance with others. Moreover, fostering a safe space for dialogue allows for authentic conversation and vulnerability. This resonated deeply with me because it aligns perfectly with my life philosophy and role as a change catalyst and courage mentor. For true transformation (be it personal or business), we must first connect to our soul before attempting to peel away layers of personality or emotion. In essence: Personal growth isn't separate from professional success - rather, they're two sides of the same coin. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. How do you see personal development influencing your professional journey? Boundless Love, ME Stay in the know and keep getting inspired: - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/me.bedard - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melifestyledesign/ - Link Page: https://links.marieevebedard.com/ - Website: https://www.marieevebedard.com/ ------------------------ About my special guest: For more than a decade now, Claude has been helping high-achieving women connect to the most extraordinary part of them to impact their world and leave a legacy of collective well-being. After leaving a career in portfolio management following two burnouts and a depression, she believed that she had finally found the balance she was looking for in her coaching career. Until she realized that she was reliving all over again the same patterns of overload, overwork, and insecurities as in her previous career. She had to go through this path of healing herself first, to finally guide women who overachieve and end up burning themselves. Today, at the head of the Womenship, she supports powerful women to recognize their unique voice by respecting and connecting to who they authentically are. It is about walking on the path of discovering their TRUE SELF to end the cycle of pressure. They can now enjoy an abundant, harmonious, and aligned life by recognizing their value and their amazing unique talent.

| Waves Don't Sink with Mia Khalil | 28 Dec 2023 | 01:05:34 | |
"Just listen to the whole story. Look at the human. And empower this human to find the connections, to find solutions." - Mia Khalil In this week's episode, my guest Mia Khalil and I dive into a profound conversation about personal growth, mental and physical health, and the process of transformation from struggle to success and freedom. This discussion isn't just about sharing personal anecdotes; it offers valuable perspectives on navigating through challenging times with resilience while staying connected with our inner selves & communities at large. It's about highlighting life’s natural dichotomies – joy/sorrow; light/darkness; creation/destruction – and emphasizing how these contrasts are integral parts of our existence rather than opposing forces to be feared or avoided. Furthermore, we underline how emotional factors can exacerbate physical problems – highlighting the need for traditional medical fields to shift towards acknowledging broader systemic elements affecting health & well-being.

To my fight and struggle, they're so indifferent I became so weary in my fight to make them see From a whole full moon, they can only see a crescent Sometimes I feel it's easier this way To walk their path in the middle of the day To breathe and sing, while alone with the stars When no one else is there, looking down my way But I found that joy doesn't hide in the dark That freedom and peace can't help but to bark That silence is poison, when it kills al my dreams That I'm not a goldfish between the teeth of a shark In the name of pure love, they tie, and they judge They lean and softly kiss, my pain with a grudge They promise me the world, if only I can change If only I command my aching heart not to nudge I finally got it, the power to stand With only my strength to hold my hand I looked inside, and discovered my treasure So precious, so pure, like foam on the sand Shameless and free doesn't come in a wink The great inner peace takes more than a blink Being different feels heavy, like a wave in the sea But waves are endless; ocean waves don't sink" Waves Don't Sink poem from Mia Khalil's book of poetry A Butterfly's Kiss: A Healing Journey Through the Power of Creative Expression | |||

| E32 | Strong Ones Do It Alone. Smart Ones Do It Together. | 23 Oct 2024 | 00:26:02 | |
"Strong Ones Do It Alone. Smart Ones Do It Together." - Marie-Eve Bédard One key takeaway from this episode is the distinction between personal power and circumstantial power, how one feeds the growth of the other and how important it is to have them both evolve hand in hand. While it's vital to harness one's inner strength and capabilities, it is equally important to align external circumstances with one's vision. This involves curating environments—reflected by those five people you spend most time with—that nurture your aspirations instead of stifling them. Host Marie-Eve encourages listeners to identify energy leaks caused by unsupportive settings or relationships. She advocates restructuring these environments through setting boundaries and engaging in necessary conversations that bolster one's path forward.

| E31 | Bridging Faith and Science in Environmental Stewardship with Norm Leo | 16 Oct 2024 | 01:06:56 | |
“The stone has no hope of being anything other than stone. But from collaborating, it assembles and becomes a temple.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry In an era where climate change is one of the most pressing global issues, the intersection of faith and science has emerged as a beacon for environmental stewardship. In this episode, host Marie-Eve and her guest Norm Leo dive into how we can have pivotal roles in promoting ecological balance driven by deep-rooted appreciation for nature while offering nuanced perspectives on navigating intersections between science spirituality & environmental advocacy. Are you ready to dive into a conversation that bridges the gap between science and faith while championing environmental stewardship? Let's go for a walk! Bio: Norm is a atmospheric scientist and theologian from Montréal. He is a public speaker with a graduate degree in atmospheric science (climate & weather!) and he also has an Masters in Theology. Like a superhero leading a double life, his day job involves decoding scientific concepts while weekends often find him preaching in a church. Norman is the founder of the Green Churches Network in Canada, an environmental charity. He previously held the position of Head of scientific education at the Biosphère, Environment Museum. Norm's mission lies in raising awareness among people who rarely hear about caring for the environment. He is also the author of three books. Stay connected with Norm Leo:

| E30 | Please Do Cry: The Healing Power of Tears | 09 Oct 2024 | 00:20:39 | |
"Please do cry. Let your emotions flow like water. Through your tears, you will find clarity, calm, and healing." - Marie-Eve Bédard In this heartfelt episode of Walk with ME, host Marie-Eve dives into an often overlooked yet fundamental part of human emotional regulation—crying. Why are we so quick to tell someone, “Please don’t cry,” when tears are a natural, healing process? Join Marie-Eve as she defends the power of tears, explaining the types of tears, their physiological benefits, and why emotional tears, in particular, are so critical for our mental and physical well-being. Learn how releasing emotions through crying can lead to a sense of clarity, relief, and even euphoria, all thanks to the body’s production of stress-relieving hormones like endorphins. Marie-Eve also sheds light on how we, as children, naturally use tears to communicate needs and how society often conditions us to suppress them as adults. This episode explores how, instead of saying "please don’t cry," we can create safe spaces for emotional release and embrace crying as an important tool for nervous system regulation. With personal insights, practical tips on creating conducive environments for emotional release, and the science behind why crying is so powerful, Marie-Eve encourages listeners to reconnect with their tears and see them as a form of self-care and emotional cleansing.
