Isn’t interesting to know that everything we think somewhat becomes our reality!?

After learning all about NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and the power of our mind, I’ve been truly fascinated by the immense impact our thoughts have on our reality.

Before studying this, I had no clue I had been having destructive behaviors against myself and that I was self-sabotaging every single day. Although I have big dreams and big aspirations for myself, I have been extremely hard on myself and was actually practicing negative self-talk for the longest time.

I was one of those people who always puts herself down for not achieving great success, for not being where I’d love to be. I was constantly having negative self-talk about my look, my progress, my results, comparing myself to others. I wasn’t really kind to myself but didn’t think that had an impact on my life. Well, now I know better!

It’s so easy to get caught up with negativity. It’s like...

Actually, coaching is not a job for me. Coaching is the best way to serve the world and spend time helping people, by being YOU and getting rewarded for your beautiful gifts. I swear I’ve never felt in such alignment with my purpose.

As a coach, you get to help people every day to achieve their dreams. You get to work from anywhere on your laptop, have TOTAL freedom on your days, skip the commute, get paid premium prices for little time investment and change the world one client at a time. I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend my days.

If you’re looking to create a life where work doesn’t feel like work, coaching is your way to true fulfillment.

I used to be the person listening to my colleagues, being there for them, giving them the courage to act according to their dreams, pushing them to aim for more and get what they really want out of life. I helped them get raises, have tough conversations with their boss and be bold with their ask. I was...

In August 2017, I purchased a domain and was convinced I had found the mission that was going to fuel my company. No, the domain wasn’t Happyonmondays.com…

I had had a “ahah moment” while running on Canal Lachine in Montreal. I was running 5 to 10 kilometers by myself almost every other day to get my exercise done for the week. I was finding it hard to get my motivation to go run outside as if I was looking for a purpose to be able to run longer and push myself even more.

One day, as I was running after work, I started thinking about a family member that was suffering from cancer and it gave me an extra dose of motivation to get going and push myself even further. I knew this run had been dedicated to this person and I noticed the incredible energy that had fuelled my body to push through the pain and get this 10K done. In this precise moment, I realized the power of purpose for anything I wanted to accomplish.

That’s also around the same time when...

Can someone tell me why we are thought that changing is a bad thing!?

It is so strange to me that everyone says: “Don’t ever change, you are incredible just the way you are!”.

Why are we so afraid of change!? Why are we so resistant to seeing our friends change? We should be happy to change, we should encourage it and celebrate it. Yet, we are trying to keep ourselves at the same level we have always been to protect some type of identity we created for ourselves.

What if I would tell you that you must absolutely change if you want to accomplish any goal, dreams, and vision for yourself. If you haven’t been able to achieve this at this point, it means that you must be a different person, act in a different way and behave differently.

Isn’t obvious that how you did things in the past, won’t lead you to where you are heading? You must think in a different way to achieve your dream, you must be a different person, my dear.

Here’s something you...

I’ve been noticing lately how everyone seems to be busy. You meet someone on the street and ask them how they’re doing and the answer 95% of the time is: I’m great, things are pretty busy, but I’m good.

I used to think it was a good thing to be busy! No time to be bored and always in the action. Yet, I realized not too long ago how that behavior was actually preventing me from hitting my goals, big time!

I feel like our generation is making a huge mistake thinking that being busy is THE goal.

My business coach was the one making me switch my mindset. After speaking with him the first time, he told me I needed to make an audit of everything I was doing in a day. I should be tracking how I’m spending my time to understand where I’m losing time and focus.

I didn’t know there was such a thing as minimalism in business, but I was completely caught off guard with this concept. We mapped out all of the initiatives I was doing and started...

It’s good to have you here…

I’ve been wanting to reach out and tell you these words that you are about to read… I see we are synced

You’ve been feeling like there’s more in life, that you should start something of your own and finally get the courage to put yourself out there. Yet, as soon as that thought pops up in your mind, you also feel like a complete impostor, because you’re not an expert in anything, so why would you be able to start a business of your own!?

Oh god, I know that feeling! We are so fast at judging ourselves and playing small…

I know you’ve been working for quite a while now, you’ve seen the ups and downs of the corporate life and you definitely lost your passion for it. Some days it feels so empty! You are on autopilot, doing the work that is expected from you, without feeling truly invested, because truthfully you don’t care that much.

Well, let me tell you something today that might...

Hey you

I know what you’re thinking right now, sitting at your desk, getting annoyed at the stupidity of some of the tasks you are forced to do as an employee. You’re looking at the next day, next week, next month and nothing feels exciting...like nothing. You’re thinking to yourself, is that all that life is!?

You’ve climbed the steps, you’ve invested years of your life giving your all for companies, waiting for your return to come, yet nothing has come close to bring you real satisfaction. You just feel there’s something major missing...

You keep having to put off fires, deal with all of the negativity, the drama of the office and sometimes you feel like taking your bags and leaving. You’re so tired of that bullshit. You give your heart and soul to a job and you don’t get the outcome you’re expecting, the promotion, raise, the recognition. Is this really what life is all about!?

You have to deal with a boss that is overworked...

This week’s blog post is inspired by my amazing client who has huge dreams and has started putting himself out there in a major way! You’ll have guessed it, he’s producing videos on LinkedIn to grow his personal brand.

As you all know, I love LinkedIn! It is one of my favorite stages where I show up daily to share my message in a bold way. I dance, I teach and I share polarizing thoughts to start a conversation. I’ve been at it for over 6 months now consistently. I even created a Masterclass on the subject so if you're looking to start putting yourself out there on LinkedIn, check it out. 

When I started putting myself out there on all social media platforms, I felt extremely self-conscious. I felt like I was exposed like people could judge me and talk behind my back. I knew that some of my friends were thinking: “Woah, what is Mimi up to!? She’s showing off online, she’s so intense!”. That made me feel extremely uncomfortable at...

When anyone embarks on an entrepreneurial journey, there will be a moment when you think “What did I get myself into?” - I know because it happened to me when I started my business. Like many entrepreneurs who leap from having a job to running a business, I got used to being fed a salary every 2 weeks and to rely on my boss to tell me what to do.

Now I had to figure everything on my own, which was both exciting and terrifying at the same time. I quickly realized that being an entrepreneur meant learning new things every single day and being constantly outside of my comfort zone.

It can sound sexy, but after a while, it becomes very stressful & overwhelming to deal with many different emotions at the same time. No one else than you can decide which direction to take and you are in charge of evaluating if you are doing a great job or not. So self-doubt, insecurities, and limiting beliefs are inevitably coming up.

From the highs and lows, I learned that the only...

Oh wow… something huge happened in my life last week.

It took me a few days to get over it, to heal and recover from the mixed emotions, the tears, the laughs, the hustle. But I'm ready, now, today, to share this big milestone happening in my life right now.

There's so much I want to talk about, how I got here, what happened, what didn't happen. Ultimately, the big news is: I left my job for a second time around to pursue my true calling full-time. Yes, I jumped ALL-IN for the second time in my life. The growth I experienced between now and the last time is ridiculously huge. I’ve become a leader, a caring voice for a team of strong-minded men, a role model, an advocate for the team's needs, a source of sunshine when clouds were dominant. I took care of this team as if it were mine, I cared so freaking much for those people and that's what made it so hard to let go of. I went to war to protect them, I created magical moments, had meetings sitting on the ground, showed...
