Hi, I’m Antoinette!

I’m a mom of 3 humans and 1 American Staffy who just turned 1 this 2024! I’m also a multi-passionate who loves working with creatives.

I was born and raised in the Philippines and 2018, together with my husband and 3 kids, we immigrated to Paris, France and that’s when all the magic happened.

I have over a decade of experience working as a project manager and business manager working with companies based in the US and all over the globe. In 2019, I discovered my love for coaching and consulting, and like every coach you’ve met, I was interested in Podcasting to serve my audience who are not ready to work with me on 1:1 level. My support supportive husband took an editing course from The Podcast Management Program to edit my show and I ended up loving the backend work as well and offered it as a service and I never looked back.

Currently, we are based in a quaint town right beside Versailles where we adopted our lovely dog, Saturn. 🐶

As a multi-passionate, I enjoy working creatives and multi-passionate business owners and professionals as well.

On April 16, 2019  we woke up and realized the fire of Notre Dame wasn’t just a bad dream, it had happened. Although, in the days following little pieces of good news began to appear. With a stroke of luck, the statues lining the ribs to the spire were removed just days before. The 12 statues of the Apostles and four figures of the Evangelists flew across the skyline of Paris on April 11, 2019.  Each one weighed 500 pounds and to remove them their heads were detached and they were hoisted off the roof. The hollow statues constituted a metal structure that was covered with copper that had tarnished through the ages.


In just two years the statues were restored and placed in the Cité de l’Architecure & Patrimoine where you can still see them for a few more months. They stand alongside a fantastic exhibition dedicated to the restoration of our beloved Notre Dame. As the project progresses so does the exhibit, don’t miss it and then go again and again.

Listen to our 2nd episode in our monthly series dedicated to Notre Dame until there reopening on December 8, 2024.


Be sure to visit the Cité de l’Architecure & Patrimoine when you are next in Paris. Located at the Trocadero, just across from the Eiffel Tower it is open Wednesday - Monday 11 am - 7 pm, and Thursday 11 am - 9 pm.


However, don’t wait to explore, watch my video that shows you all these treasures of Notre Dame and more.

Many know the large painting hanging in the Salle Mollien of the Louvre by Théodore Géricault but did you know it was based on a true story? Le Radeau de la Méduse (The Raft of the Medusa) was painted in 1818 when Géricault was just 27. It depicts the story of the French ship Medusa, a 40-gun Pallas frigate that was used during the Napoleonic Wars in 1810. On June 17, 1816, the Medusa left the port of Aix alongside three other ships in the fleet.

Through a series of bad choices by the captain who didn’t know what he was doing the Medusa crashed into a sandbar and then things got much worse.

With two casks of water and wine (gotta love the French) and floating under the hot sun the worst was yet to happen. As their raft mates died, they were eaten by the others to survive. Thirteen days later on July 17, only fifteen members remained when they were spotted by the Argus and rescued, 5 more died before they reached the shore.

Géricault’s early sketches of the painting, two of which are in the Louvre, show a few slight differences from the final version. The first sketch shows the raft’s position off from the one we know so well. If you look closely at each of the figures you can see how they changed and why I love to find earlier sketches of these monumental works. It’s like getting a glimpse into the artist's mind before the final monumental piece that hangs in the Louvre today.
