In this deeply human and heart-centered Fren-glish episode of Sara Sessions, I sit down with longtime friend and colleague Marjorie Lauzon for a rich conversation about authenticity, balance, and what it truly means to feel safe in our bodies and in our lives. Marjorie’s journey—from over 25 years in the health field, from nursing, osteopathy, and meta-osteopathy —is rooted in one essential question: How do we live in alignment with who we truly are, even when life is uncomfortable? Through stories drawn from personal experience, clinical practice, motherhood, and international community work, she explores how the body holds memory, truth, and untapped pathways to healing.This episode dives into powerful themes such as:• Authenticity as balance, and why we are not defined by the events that happen to us• Discomfort as a teacher, not something to avoid—but something to meet with curiosity and compassion• Emotional responsibility, boundaries, and the importance of not carrying what isn’t ours• Presence and co-regulation, and how safety is created through being truly seen and witnessed• Freedom as security, and how reconnecting with nature, meditation, sound, and energy work restores inner harmony• Cycles, rest, and rhythm, especially through the lens of women’s bodies, hormonal shifts, and seasonal changeTogether, Marjorie and I reflect on modern pressures around performance, productivity, and “being the best version of ourselves,” gently reframing them with kindness, realism, and respect for individual rhythm. They also explore leadership, community, and why real change often requires support systems rather than isolation.Grounded yet expansive, philosophical yet practical, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what brings you back into balance—again and again. Whether you’re navigating change, healing old patterns, or simply longing for more presence and ease, this episode offers a compassionate space to reflect, breathe, and remember who you are.She will be one of 3 presenters during the Equinox Spring Blooming At Kio-o March 27, 28, 29 th 2026Spring's Inner BloomingFor more of her teachings find her here on Youtube(179) Marjorie Lauzon Ostéopathe - YouTubeTakeawaysEmbracing discomfort and fear leads to growth and self-discovery.Negotiating with reality and practicing self-compassion are essential for personal development.

In this deeply grounding episode of SaraSessions, I sit down with Sylvie Lahaie — a neuroscientist turned yoga and breathwork guide — to explore how the brain and body work together to shape our emotional world. Sylvie opens up about her own burnout and the science that helped her understand it: how stress rewires the nervous system, how breath can shift brain states in real time, and why emotional regulation is less about “fixing yourself” and more about creating safety within.Together, we dive into neurofeedback meditation, the language patterns that amplify or soothe stress, and the simple, science‑backed practices that help us return to balance.

Garen Jemian, certified leadership Coach, key note speaker and facilitator, author of "Happy people work harder" and of concordia Ted talk 2017 "Motivation and beyond money", simply an inspiring soul that looks to elevate potential in all his interactions, blessed me with his presence to talk about a few key points regarding happiness, success, motivation, communication and fulfillment amongst other tangents discussed.This episode is a little longer than previous Sara Sessions, but covers insights and golden nuggets that are essential to anyone's road to betterment to tap into their potential, whether individuals or corporations. As a society covid and the world has changed massively with all the adjustments we have had to undergo, but it seems many are still living with an old adage of assumptions, expectations, set ways and approaches that seem to have lost relevancy. Communication and connection has been limited as these new safety protocols have made everyone comfortable in the discomfort of their seclusion and have changed how we exchange: not only with others, but with ourselves. And we then find ourselves stuck in a rut of overworking, overstimulation, non chalant robotic habits and patterns that seem to lack in purpose or fulfillment, and keep us repeating the same insanity expecting different results. We define hot words that are often misused and ensued in daily conversations, determine the differentiation and discernment between these same inter juxtaposed words, (happiness, success, motivations, purpose, fulfillment, etc ) as well as open up the conversation to what empathy and communication has to do with our satisfaction and quality of life. Take a listen to unravel what can help you get unstuck to elevate yourself to your true potential through the conversations, questions, resources and ideas that might inspire and light up that one crucial eureka moment. Feel free to share the episode with friends, family, colleagues so we can keep spreading positive inspirational waves of ripple effects with every one of our interactions to elevate as individuals and as a collective.Insights and takeaways as well as questions can be sent to myself or you can contact Garen through his many plateforms. www.Garenjemian.comHappy people work harder: the leaders guide to inspiring positive change, Garen Jemian - available on Amazon and directly on his website.

Amongst the many roads we take, we meet people that we aspire to know as they give us inspiration of challenging the versions of ourselves we have come accustomed to identifying with.On my road to Utila I met Fernanda Lima, a young 28 year old Doctor from Brazil, traveling Latin America with a backpack and desire for beauty and adventure. I must say it's a slow start to the episode because it was the end of long long days of travel for both of us.We talk intuition, travel, serendipity, connecting to the world differently, touching moments, and healing with beauty; the sacredness of those moments, getting out of our habits to see solutions that come from out of the box and allowing intuition to guide.Meeting people on the road, experiencing life, waking up senses, and healing moments by noticing the gifts that come with presence and awareness. Grab the bull by the horns, make it happen. Take a chance to discover the courage to try something new, to create more of what you desire.
