"Fulfilling my dream has made me happy and I have been an example for my daughters! After all, everyone is responsible for their own happiness! »

"Becoming a mother of three daughters and being involved in the role of mother for the first ten years, I had put aside an important part of myself, the adventurer... Being a mother was a role that fulfilled me for a long time. However, at the time, I was gradually starting to feel that something was missing inside me. Through diligent introspection, I gave myself the opportunity to identify two important needs that I had put aside when I became a mom: the need for adventure challenges and the need for self-actualization. I was then able to invest myself in making buried dreams come true. This process of harmonizing my adventurous spirit with that of my mother was a rich learning process. In this process, I learned what deep self-respect is; a pillar of self-love. Also, I knew that the mother-daughter bond was powerful and precious, but I discovered that it grows deeper and deeper with time.

Fulfilling yourself is a lot of challenges, but it is possible! Today, it touches me to share this with you, it is my daughters who inspire me now...".
