From survival and self-doubt to thriving in peace

If you had met me fifteen years ago, you would have never guessed I’d become a coach helping female entrepreneurs create more serenity, alignment, and success in their lives and businesses.

 

Back then, I was as far from peace as you can imagine.

 

People described me as energetic, even hyperactive.

 

What no one realized (not even me) was that my nervous system was constantly on alert, in survival mode.

Always running, always trying to prove something, always “on.”

I was this petite Black girl, straight-A student turning up in an all-white university in Paris.

On paper, everything looked perfect: good grades, a sweet boyfriend, a “bright future.”

But inside, I felt out of place. Disconnected.

Like I was living a life that looked beautiful from the outside but didn’t feel like mine.

The first whisper of change

Around that time, I started practicing yoga.

And I left the boyfriend.

I didn’t know it then, but that single decision (refusing to stay with someone who wasn’t sure about loving me) was the first act of self-love, and the beginning of a long journey back to myself. It was the first time I chose me.

There were detours and messy seasons, moments when I lost myself and found myself again. But that’s what personal growth looks like, right?

Then came a series of bold decisions:

I moved to Canada with someone I’d known for just a few months. Spoiler: we still live together, with our amazing daughter!

I came back to Paris, left a well-planned career in an international company to become a yoga teacher.

 

Later, while pregnant, I decided to become a coach for women.

And eventually, I crossed the ocean again, this time, to make a home in the Caribbean.

For years, I thought and said I had simply followed life’s flow.

Now I know my heart and intuition were already leading the way long before my mind caught up. They were the quiet compass behind every brave decision, leading me back to alignment.

Breaking the pattern and learning to live, and work, differently

I was raised around fierce, brilliant women: strong, inspiring, resilient.

They taught me to be independent and capable, but also to survive by doingTo keep going no matter what. Handle everything on my own.

So that’s how I built my version of success. But the truth is: a thriving business and a fulfilling life cannot grow from exhaustion.

It took me years, and a few burnouts, to understand that peace isn’t found by doing more, but by doing what’s truly aligned.

That it is found in softness. In the feminine energy I had never learned to trust.

Yoga taught me how to pause.

First in my body.

Then in my mind.

And today, I’m still learning to pause in my soul.

That’s where my transformation began — the shift from overdoing to being.

From control to trust.

From surviving to living and thriving.

If you’re at that same crossroads, ambitious but tired, craving purpose and peace, this free 30-min Clarity Workbook can help you pause, reconnect, and rediscover what truly matters in your business and your life.

The woman and coach I became

Today, I help heart-driven women entrepreneurs who are done with burnout and overthinking find the clarity, structure, and serenity they need to build a peaceful, profitable business that feels true to who they are.

But beyond the business itself, there’s something bigger that drives me.

I chose to work with women because I deeply believe that when women are at peace, when they feel in harmony, grounded, and fulfilled, they have the power to change the world around them.

They raise families, lead teams, and build communities with more compassion and wisdom.

 

They heal patterns that have been passed down for generations.

 

They redefine what success looks like: not as constant struggle, but as aligned creation.

That’s the ripple effect I want to contribute to: a world where women’s serenity and success coexist.

 

My work blends intuitive insight and practical strategy, soulful business coaching for women who want to thrive without losing themselves, and lead with peace, power, and purpose.
