A Little Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Marie…and I’ve been there. Chasing success, checking off all the "right" boxes, yet still feeling unfulfilled. After achieving everything I thought I should, I found myself questioning, "Is this really it?" That’s when I realized something needed to change.

The tech layoffs were a wake-up call, and I couldn’t ignore the toll it was taking on my mental health. After five amazing years in NYC, I knew it was time for a big change. I listened to my intuition and redefined what success meant for me. That’s how I ended up in France, intentionally designing a life that reflects my values and goals.

Now, I want to help you create the same sense of clarity and direction. Life is short, and it’s too precious to feel stuck. I’m here to help you embrace the uncertainty and build a life that truly resonates with you.

Traveler at Heart

As a solo traveler, I’ve explored both far-flung destinations and gems closer to home.

Within the past decade, I spent a year backpacking across South America and Europe, bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and called it home for a year, and ventured solo through the deserts of the American Southwest and the mystical landscapes of Lebanon and Jordan. If no one can or wants to join me, that’s alright. I never let that stop me from experiencing new places!

Along the way, I’ve found immense joy in connecting with people from all walks of life, sparking friendships that have turned into lifelong bonds.

I’ve learned the art of making every journey meaningful and to cherish those connections you make. These days, I’m exploring the world with a new travel companion, my Shiba Inu, Momo. It’s a little less solo but just as adventurous and evermore sweet.

So if moving abroad, taking a solo trip, or even traveling with your furry best friend is something you’re dreaming about, let’s make it happen!

  • I’ve always felt a spark of energy when friends shared their dreams with me because I wanted to see them make it a reality. Over time, I realized this passion could evolve into a meaningful career. I love creating and using tools to gain clarity and work toward my own goals (dogfooding, as they say!), and it felt natural to share those tools with others. Helping people turn their aspirations into reality is honestly just awesome.

  • Living abroad and traveling solo have been some of the most transformative experiences of my life. They’ve opened my eyes to the vastness and variety of human experience and taught me how flexible and dynamic life can be. The stories and perspectives of the people I’ve met along the way remind me that we each have the power to shape our lives into something extraordinary. I especially treasure conversations with people older and wiser than me. Their insights always seem to resonate deeply and stay with me.

  • My approach is grounded in curiosity and empathy. I believe every person’s path is unique, shaped by their individual experiences, strengths, and challenges. I take time to understand where someone is coming from and what’s important to them. Together, we define what meaningful progress looks like. Not with a one-size-fits-all solution, but with a plan that’s personalized and aligned with their values and goals.
