"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.
Boundless Love,
Marie-Eve

"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.

"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.

"I have never felt this grounded, this centered in my entire life."
- Marie-Eve Bédard

Embark on a unique journey with the latest episode of The ReEnvision Podcast, where I open up about my deeply personal transformation.
From bidding farewell to my cherished Canadian home to embracing a new chapter in Germany alongside my husband and faithful dogs, this episode delves into the intricacies of change.
Join me as I navigate the threads of continuity in my life's work, woven across various platforms.
Discover how recent shifts have brought about a profound alignment of frequencies within, leaving me feeling more grounded and centered than ever before.
This episode goes beyond the surface of physical relocation; it's a narrative of internal migration—a quest for greater unity within oneself.
I share the challenges of integrating seemingly illogical changes, emphasizing that profound shifts are not only about external circumstances aligning with our deepest visions but also involve dismantling internal walls constructed over time.
Tune in for a powerful reminder that transformation often extends beyond the visible, requiring us to navigate the uncharted territories within our own hearts and minds.
Boundless Love,

"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

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.

"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.

Boundless Love,
ME

"It didn't happen fast enough
I dragged my feet long enough
Wore those chains like pearls of the sea
They made me huff, and they made me puff

I lost my breathing; I lost my soul
Desperate to fit in a common mold
I feared the truth, and I leaned in pain
My heart was sinking in a deep black hole

How can I go on while being so different?
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

"You should be angry. You must not be bitter.
Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host.
It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure.
So use that anger.
You write it. You paint it. You dance it.
You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it.
You talk it. Never stop talking it."
- Maya Angelou
