WOMEN’S LIFE COACH

Home » My story

Hi there,

I’m Margot

I’m a qualified French and Canadian life coach, born and raised in the beautiful city of Marseille, in the south of France, between the lavender fields and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since graduating from the Beautiful You Coaching Academy, I’ve been working as a women’s mindset and empowerment life coach.

I’m dedicated to support women in their twenties and thirties, all over the world, to break free from people pleasing tendencies and society’s expectations on them so they can thrive and live their most aligned and authentic life.

To help you get to know me better and find out if I’m the coach you need, here’s a little peek into my personality, my life story and why I’m so passionate about coaching…

Welcome to my world

I’m a Gemini sun, rising and moon in Virgo, my MBTI is INFP (but I identify as ambivert) and I’m a neurodivergent which makes me very excited about life and a great empath with an insatiable hunger for adventures and new learnings.

My family has always valued curiosity and open-mindedness, and I’m lucky enough to have been able to travel the world at a young age, which I think has helped make me passionate about people, culture and growth.

Now I’m addicted to traveling and learning new languages. I really couldn’t live without music: I sing, play piano and guitar, I’ve been dancing for years, and I never stop going to concerts. I proudly proclaim my love for pop music, and I shout loud and clear that I’m a fan girl.

I love art in all its forms. Being a romantic at heart, I adore romantic comedies and Kdramas. My favorite painter is Claude Monet and I love 19th century literature, especially female authors like the Brontë sisters, Jane Austen, or Daphne du Maurier.

I’m addicted to beautiful seaside landscapes and sunsets. I can’t stop journaling, and I adore cute stationeries and notebooks. I like team sports, like basketball and handball. My favorite color is lavender and there’s nothing easier to make me smile than showing me a cute little animal, buying me an ice cream, or starting a deep conversation.

How I became a coach…

I grew up in the bustling city Marseille in the south of France with a half-Canadian, half-French mother and a French father. As the eldest child in my family, I was quiet and introverted, but always curious to learn more about the world around me.

I’ve been diagnosed early on as neurodivergent and I spent my childhood and adolescence, not surprisingly, afraid of rejection and not fitting in. Little by little, I became the embodiment of the “good girl”: I was doing everything to be accepted, pleased everyone and was very insecure.

After high school, as I was pretty good at school and as both of my parents were working in law, I started studying law and politics, first at university and then at a school named Sciences Po, with the intention of working in international public relations.

But even though my studies were interesting, I felt out of place, and I came to understand that I was meant for a job more meaningful and closer to people.

In 2019, I began to suffer from eating disorders and was repeatedly on strict diets. As I was seeking for some motivation in my weight-loss journey, I decided to share some “healthy” recipes on Instagram by creating the Back-to-Basics account.

This account gradually became a place to share my recovery and my love of self-development. I realized that behind my obsession with my appearance lay an enormous need for confidence, self-love and reconditioning.

But the journey wasn’t without struggle…

There can be no spiritual awakening without a “dark night of the soul”, I wasn’t an exception. I suffered from depression for two years and had to live with frequent panic attacks and anxiety.

Recovering from these disorders has taught me to be compassionate, patient and to better understand and manage my emotions. I realized that nothing was unbeatable, and that in every difficult experience you can find something profoundly positive and transformative.

I think I deserve something beautiful.

In 2022, I made the big decision to quit my master’s degree to pursue my dream: backpacking solo in Southeast Asia. I bought a one-way ticket to Indonesia without really knowing what to expect and finally returned to France seven months later, having visited 9 countries and challenged myself countless times. I had the chance to discover a new version of me by pushing my own limits, learn how to be my best supporter and came out of it changed. Now I know that true happiness requires courage.

During my trip, I finally listened to the little voice inside my head saying I was ready and signed up for a life coaching course. I was drawn to the idea of being able to guide and support women all over the world on their own journey of self-discovery, self-love, and independence.

After a year and a half of training, I proudly hold up my certificate of completion from the Beautiful You Coaching Academy, an ICF-accredited Australian school, and call myself a Beautiful You coach. I’ve learned that my intuition knows best: I’ve always been on the right path….

Just as so many coaches have helped and inspired me to become the person I am today, I hope in turn to help my future clients to blossom in life by bringing them my dedication, and sincerity.
