A 5-day experience for women at midlife
Before you talk yourself out of it.
Have you become a supporting character in your own life?
Maybe nothing is dramatically wrong.
Maybe you’ve built a life you’re actually proud of.
But somewhere between being responsible, capable, and the person everyone can count on… you stopped asking one surprisingly important question:
What do I want?
Not what makes sense. Not what everyone else needs. Not what a woman “your age” is supposed to want. What do YOU want?
And no, we’re not going to answer that by quitting our jobs, abandoning our families, and moving to Bali. We’re going to start much smaller.
Press play. Come sit with me.
Five days. One move. A life that feels more like yours.
Here’s exactly what you’re getting:
Five short pre-recorded video conversations with me, plus five guided Action Pages to help you figure out what you want, challenge what’s holding you back, and take one real step toward it.
Just 10–15 minutes a day, whenever it suits you. No live calls to schedule. No big life overhaul. No pressure to have all the answers.
Pre-recorded videos + Action Pages · Watch whenever you’re ready · 14-day guarantee
By the end of our five days, you’ll have:
Rediscovered desires and parts of yourself you’ve quietly edited out.
Caught those automatic “too old / too late / not realistic” stories before they decide for you.
Separated what YOU actually want from everyone else’s opinions and expectations.
Chosen one thing you want and taken one concrete, unapologetic step toward it.
Five conversations. Five focused Action Pages. One unapologetic move.

The problem
Maybe you're not stuck.
Maybe you've just stopped giving yourself a vote.
You've become very good at being responsible.
And somewhere in the middle of being very good at your life...
you may have quietly become a supporting character in it.
Nothing necessarily went wrong.
That's what makes this feeling so difficult to explain.
Because from the outside, your life may look absolutely fine.
Maybe even more than fine.
You're functioning. People rely on you. You get things done. You have people you love and plenty to be grateful for.
So when that little thought appears, “Is this really it?”, you may shut it down almost as quickly as it arrived.
Because what right do you have to want more when nothing is actually wrong?
Except “nothing is wrong” and “this feels like mine” are not the same thing.
You might have a life you're genuinely grateful for and still catch yourself wondering:
You're not ungrateful.
You're not having a breakdown.
And I don't think you need a dramatic reinvention.
Maybe you've simply spent so long being sensible, dependable, practical and available... that your own desires have become very easy to postpone.
Not reject forever.
Just postpone.
Because maybe the problem isn't that you don't have a good life.
Maybe there just isn't enough YOU in it anymore.
And that doesn't require blowing everything up.
It requires putting yourself back into the conversation.

The shift
What if you stopped rejecting yourself first?
Here's what I don't want for you after these five days:
A prettier journal full of things you'd quite like to do someday.
I want something much more interesting to happen.
I want you to notice the moment you automatically tell yourself NO.
“They'd never hire someone my age.”
↓Maybe. Let's find out.
Your partner doesn't want to see the exhibition.
↓You buy one ticket.
“I don't mind. Whatever everyone else wants.”
↓You actually have an answer.
You want to take a class and immediately ask, “But what would I do with it?”
↓You let curiosity be enough for a minute.
Just stopping the habit of eliminating yourself before the conversation has even begun.
Because somewhere along the way, a lot of us became incredibly efficient at rejecting our own desires.
For five days, I'm going to ask you to do something slightly rebellious:
Stop treating every desire like it needs to defend itself in court.
I'm giving you your vote back.
And once you have it?
Tuesday starts looking surprisingly different.

How it works
This isn't five days of lessons.
It's five days of conversations.
Each day, you press play on one short pre-recorded video with me. About 10 to 15 minutes. Coffee, tea, sparkling water or champagne. Your choice.
Watch it whenever it suits you. Sit on the sofa. Listen on a walk. Close the door for a few minutes. I've made each one feel less like a lesson and more like we've pulled up two chairs. I'll do what I would do if you were sitting across from me: ask you a question, challenge one of your assumptions, make you laugh, and help you hear yourself a little more clearly.
One conversation. One focused Action Page. One small move.
That's it. No trying to “keep up.”
You don't need to solve your whole life in five days.
You just need to create enough space to hear yourself again.
And then move.
The old way
“I’ll think about me when things calm down.”
It sounds perfectly reasonable.
Then I’ll think about me.
The problem? Life is remarkably bad at calming down on command. One thing ends, another begins, someone needs something. And the things you want get moved to…
That very accommodating place called
LATER.
There are real responsibilities. Real people we love. Real financial considerations.
I’m not interested in pretending otherwise. But there’s a difference between:
That’s the habit I want us to interrupt.
Because life doesn’t usually clear the calendar and announce:
“Okay. It’s your turn now.”
At some point, you have to give yourself the turn.
The new way
You don’t need certainty.
You need movement.
A lot of us think we need to know exactly what we want before we can do anything about it. The right answer. The confidence. The guarantee we won’t waste time, money or energy, or look ridiculous.
So we wait until we’re sure. And while we’re waiting… nothing gives us any new information.
Sometimes the answer doesn’t come from thinking harder.
It comes from moving a little.
You don’t have to decide you want a new career.
You can have one conversation with someone doing work that interests you.
You don’t have to become a woman who travels alone.
You can take yourself somewhere for one afternoon.
You don’t have to call yourself an artist.
You can paint something.
You don’t have to know whether a new idea is “the thing.”
You can explore it.
Desire isn’t a contract.
Wanting something doesn’t mean you have to do it.
Trying something doesn’t mean you have to become good at it.
And changing your mind doesn’t mean the experiment failed.
You don’t need a new life.
You need a move.

A little about me
I’m not teaching this from the sidelines.
I used to think an extraordinary life was about making big moves.
And I’ve done quite a few of those things.
The first big leap
A fashion startup. Seven years. And a hard ending.
After 12 years in corporate life, I started a fashion business around a product I had invented. I raised money, got on television and landed a major department-store client. And eventually, I had to close it.
I went bankrupt.
That wasn’t the ending I had imagined. But it also wasn’t the end of me.
Then I tried again
This time, with sparkling wine.
During Covid, I launched a sparkling wine brand. It didn’t become the success story I pictured. But it gave me something thinking about it never could: information. Sometimes trying it is the answer.
Then life changed the lesson
Not every chapter is about a big move.
I came back to France to be closer to my family. My father became very ill, and I reorganized my life so I could be there. He passed away about a year later. At the same time, life brought me love, a new relationship and the unexpected experience of becoming a stepmother.
Somewhere along the way, my definition of an extraordinary life changed.
Where this began
It started with champagne.
But it was never really about the champagne.
Back in 2016, in Los Angeles, I started bringing women together for something I called The Healing Power of Champagne. We talked about the things we wanted to do, the things we were afraid to do, and the ideas we hadn’t quite dared to say out loud.
And instead of immediately asking, “But is that realistic?”, we asked:
“Okay… but what if you did?”
The Unapologetic Chapter is a continuation of those evenings. Only now you don’t have to be in Los Angeles, come to my house or drink champagne. Bring whatever you’re drinking and come sit with me. 🥂
I’m also a certified coach and I hold an Executive MBA from INSEAD. But I’m not here to sit above you with a clipboard. I’ve reinvented enough parts of my own life to know that nobody else can design yours for you. What I can do is help you stop automatically ruling yourself out of it.
An unapologetic life isn’t a life without responsibility, grief or people who need you.
It’s a life in which you don’t disappear either.
Because the woman who knows what your next chapter needs?
You.

I’M GIVING MYSELF A TURN →$27 introductory price · 5 days · 10–15 min/day
Is this for you?
This is for you if…
You recognize yourself somewhere in this.
“Maybe I’m too old.”
“Maybe it’s too late.”
“Maybe that’s not realistic.”
“Maybe I should just be grateful.”
This is probably not for you if…
That’s not what we’re doing here.
I’m going to ask you to get curious, tell yourself the truth, and make one real move.
You just want more curiosity.
More aliveness.
More possibility.
More of YOU back.
Why now?
When exactly were you planning to give yourself a turn?
There probably won’t be a perfect week. No magical gap in the calendar. No moment when everyone suddenly needs less from you.
If you keep waiting until everything is calm, clear and fully approved, you may be waiting for a very long time. I don’t mean that dramatically. I mean it quietly.
Another season passes. Another year goes by. Another thing you wanted gets moved to “later.”
You don’t have to wait until life gets quieter to start including yourself in it.

A few last questions
Still have a few questions?
Good. I’d be slightly concerned if you didn’t.
What if I have no idea what I want?
Perfect.
You do not need to arrive with a dream, a five-year plan or a secret ambition you’ve been waiting to unleash.
In fact, “I don’t even know what I want anymore” is one of the reasons I created this.
Over the five days, I’ll help you notice what still has energy for you, what you may have quietly edited out, and what deserves a little more curiosity.
You don’t need the answer before you begin.
But I have a partner. Children. Parents. People who actually need me.
Of course.
This isn’t about pretending those responsibilities don’t exist.
It’s about remembering something very simple:
You are also one of the people in your life.
Considering the people you love is not the same thing as automatically removing yourself from consideration.
What if I can’t make a big change right now?
Excellent.
I’m not asking you to.
The whole point is to stop assuming that meaningful change has to begin with a dramatic decision.
Your first move might be a conversation. An hour in your calendar. Booking the class. Sending the message. Researching the possibility. Going somewhere alone. Trying something before deciding whether it belongs in your life.
Small does not mean insignificant. Small means you can actually move.
Am I too old for this? What if I’m 50, 55, 60… or older?
Some things genuinely get harder with age.
I’m not going to insult you by pretending otherwise.
But “harder” and “too late” are not the same thing.
Before you decide something is impossible, I want you to find out what is actually true — and what is simply a conclusion you’ve been repeating to yourself.
You do not have to reject yourself first.
How much time will this take?
About 10–15 minutes a day for five days.
Each day, you’ll press play on one short session with me, then use a simple Action Page to turn what you’ve just explored into something concrete.
And on Day 5, you’ll choose one move to make within 48 hours.
This is designed to fit into your life. Not become another project sitting on top of it.
Is this therapy or 1:1 coaching?
No.
The Unapologetic Chapter is a self-guided personal-development experience.
The sessions are pre-recorded. You’re not booking private calls with me, and there is no live coaching component.
I am a certified coach, and that influences the kinds of questions I ask and the way I’ve designed the experience.
But I’m not here to diagnose you, fix you or tell you what decision to make.
I’m here to help you hear yourself more clearly — and then do something with what you hear.
Do I have to drink champagne?
Absolutely not.
Coffee. Tea. Sparkling water. Wine. A glamorous Diet Coke.
Bring whatever you’re drinking.
The champagne is a state of mind. 🥂
What if I start and realize it’s not for me?
Then you have 14 days to let me know, and I’ll refund your $27.
No proving you completed everything.
No awkward justification required.
I’d much rather you try it than spend another six months wondering whether you should.
You don’t need every answer.
You just need enough curiosity to begin.
One last thing
Five days from now, you probably won’t have your whole life figured out.
Good.
That isn’t the goal.
Or maybe the biggest shift is simply this:
You say,
“I want this.”
Without immediately apologizing for it.
I’m not promising you a completely different life by Friday.
I’m promising you a different relationship with your own desires. One where practicality gets a vote, but not the only vote.
One where you stop rejecting yourself before anyone else gets the chance.
I don’t want everything to change. I want one thing:
I want something to move.
One tiny move that says:
I’m back in the conversation about my own life.
So come sit with me.
Let’s see what happens.
You need a move.
