We choose

JOY!

My Story:

For years, I was the quiet one.

The child who had no friends.

The girl who was afraid to ask questions.

I grew up in a loving French family shaped by resilience, culture, and

deep humanity. My parents survived World War II in France, and strength, compassion, and perseverance were not just words in our

home — they were lived every day.

All my siblings were born in France. I was the only Canadian-born

child, raised between stories of survival, courage, and love. Those

roots shaped the woman I would eventually become.

Finding my Voice

My first true breaking point came in nursing school.

In the RN program, I felt “not smart enough.”

Small. Unsure. Questioning my place.

Then I transitioned into the RPN program…

and something unexpected happened.

For the first time in my life —

I found my voice.

I realized I wasn’t incapable.

I had simply never been in an environment where my strengths could shine.

In my late 30s and early 40s, as a dedicated oncology nurse, I carried many roles at once — nurse, supervisor, mother, wife, daughter, and leader.

At home, my family needed me deeply.

Two children.

A loving husband.

Aging parents whose needs were increasing.

My heart was pulled in multiple directions.

The weight of patient care, family responsibilities, and leadership expectations created a quiet but constant pressure.

I was the strong one for everyone.

But inside… I was stretched thin.

The Moment Everything

Changed

Then came the second defining breaking point.

My 6-month sabbatical.

Not from life.

But from the roles I had been playing for everyone else.

For the first time, I stepped away as the nurse, the caregiver, the leader, the fixer…

and met myself — beyond my voice.

That sabbatical didn’t just change my schedule.

It changed my identity.

I stopped living from obligation

and started living from alignment.

Who I Am

Today

Today I am still all those things —

a nurse at heart,

a coach by calling,

and a woman who deeply understands what it means to carry the weight of life while searching for joy.

My work with Unstoppable Women was not created from theory.

It was born from lived experience.

From exhaustion.

From rediscovery.

From choosing JOY over survival mode.

The Woman Behind the

Work

And in the midst of it all, there is Spirit, my 10-year-old Wheaten Terrier, my quiet grounding presence on the days when life feels heavy.

Because beyond the titles, the programs, and the speaking…I am still human.

A woman who loves deeply, feels deeply, and continues to grow alongside the incredible women I serve.

This is not just my story.

It is the foundation of the space I hold for others to reclaim their lives, their voice, and their JOY.
