As a native French speaker having learned English on the go, it’s always been particularly confronting to step up on a stage and share my stories with an accent and no formal training.

Whether it is business innovations or snippets from my life that people ask me to share, no matter how silly or at ease I might look on stag, it’s always - always - challenging and uncomfortable.

But the impact me facing my fears has had on people’s lives is what keeps me going. Even though I’m off stage at the moment editing my next book, I still get regular messages from people I’ve worked with telling me how something I said made such a difference in their lives. And every time I pinch myself to be this lucky to live a life of service to others and use my deepest pains, experiences and often traumas to help others be stronger, more resilient and brought back to the light, even in a little way.

Thank you for listening and giving me the chance to be there for you. I love you, all of you, and care more than I can ever express in words. You also give me hope and I’m forever grateful. ❤️

P.S. Trying to live by example the fact that although motherhood changes everything, it doesn’t have to stop you living a full life. And if it comes to it, bring your baby ok stage with you. Whatever it takes! 😉❤️
