"I think it's really easy to sort of focus on being really upset by what takes place in these labs and having that be how you see another individual, but the more that we can not make things black and white, us and them, and empathize with other people, I think that's the game changer.

"If we’re afraid to lose what we have, it means we don’t own it—it owns us." - Marie-Eve Bédard
In this inspiring episode of Walk with Me, Marie-Eve takes us on a reflective walk along the river path in the Black Forest to explore the deep connection between freedom and success.
She shares her personal journey of redefining freedom—not as something to achieve "someday," but as an essential state of being that aligns with our true selves.
She unpacks the transformative concept of "be, do, have" and challenges us to step into the identity of the person we aspire to be, right now.
Freedom isn’t a destination—it’s embedded in who you are. Step into the identity of freedom, act from that place, and watch your world transform.
Takeaways:
- Why freedom is the ultimate measure of success.
- The powerful shift from "have, do, be" to "be, do, have."
- The surprising ways ownership can take away your freedom.

Thought Cloud Visualization – Clearing an Overactive Mind
Our minds are often filled with racing thoughts—worries, plans, memories, or distractions—that keep us from feeling calm and centered.
Thought Cloud Visualization is a simple and calming exercise that helps you detach from these thoughts, quiet your mind, and create space for peace.
The Power of Visualization
Visualization harnesses the power of your imagination to influence your mental and emotional state. By turning abstract thoughts into tangible images, this exercise allows you to process and release them without judgment.
Thought Cloud Visualization Exercise
Duration: 5-10 minutes
Frequency: Ideal before starting a focused task, during moments of overwhelm, or as part of a nightly wind-down.
1. Get Comfortable: Sit or lie down in a quiet space. Close your eyes and take a few deep belly breaths to settle your body and mind.
2. Imagine the Sky:
Picture yourself lying in a field or sitting on a hill, gazing up at a wide, open sky. The sky represents your mind: vast, limitless, and open.3. Identify Your Thoughts:
Notice any thoughts in your mind—big or small, loud or quiet. Acknowledge each thought without judgment, simply labeling it (e.g., “worry,” “plan,” “memory”).4. Place Each Thought on a Cloud:
Imagine each thought gently forming on a cloud in your sky. Visualize the cloud taking shape, holding the thought, and beginning to float away.5. Watch the Clouds Drift:
Watch each cloud slowly move across the sky, growing smaller as it drifts into the distance. If the thought comes back, simply place it on another cloud and repeat the process.6. Return to the Sky:
After a few minutes, notice the sky beginning to clear, with fewer clouds in sight. Rest in this quiet, open space, enjoying the sense of stillness.Practical Tips for Thought Cloud Visualization
1. Use a Trigger for Practice: Practice when your mind feels particularly busy, or add it to your bedtime routine to release the day’s mental clutter.
2. Don’t Force the Clouds Away: If a thought lingers, that’s okay. Focus on observing it rather than trying to push it out of your mind.
3. Add Gentle Music: Use soft, instrumental music or nature sounds to enhance the calming effect of the exercise.
4. Practice Without Judgment: Remember, the goal isn’t to "stop thinking" but to create space and perspective. Be kind to yourself if your mind stays active.
5. Combine with Gratitude: At the end of your session, take a moment to reflect on one thing you’re grateful for, anchoring yourself in a positive mindset.
Daily Practice Example
Morning: Use the exercise to set a clear, focused mindset for the day. Midday: Pause for a few minutes during a busy day to release mental clutter. Evening: Practice before bed to quiet your mind and transition into restful sleep.Takeaway: Thought Cloud Visualization is a gentle yet transformative way to calm an overactive mind. By practicing this exercise, you’re training yourself to detach from thoughts that no longer serve you, creating space for clarity, calm, and inner peace.

Cardiac Coherence
Cardiac coherence is a simple breathing technique designed to harmonize the rhythm of your heart with your breath.
It balances the nervous system and shifts your body into a state of calm focus.
This exercise is especially effective for managing stress and boosting resilience.
The Power of Cardiac Coherence
Your heart and brain are in constant communication, and their rhythm affects your mood, focus, and stress levels.
Cardiac coherence creates harmony in this connection, leading to better emotional and physical health.
What Happens During Cardiac Coherence?
Your breathing and heart rate sync up in a smooth rhythm, calming your body. This rhythm promotes a state of physiological coherence, reducing stress and enhancing focus. Over time, it improves heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of resilience and overall health.Key Benefits:
Immediate stress reduction by lowering cortisol levels. Increased focus, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Long-term improvements in cardiovascular health. Better sleep, digestion, and immune response.Cardiac Coherence Exercise
Duration: 5 minutes (to start)
Frequency: Any time of the day, especially during moments of stress or before a challenging task.
1. Find a Comfortable Position: Sit or lie down in a quiet place. Relax your shoulders and rest your hands on your lap.
2. Breathe Rhythmically:
Inhale slowly through your nose for 5 seconds. Exhale gently through your mouth for 5 seconds. Keep this steady 5-5 rhythm throughout the exercise.3. Focus on Your Breath:
Concentrate on the sensation of air entering and leaving your body. If your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breathing.4. Visualize Calm: Imagine your breath as a wave or light, moving gently in and out with each cycle.
Practical Tips for Integrating Cardiac Coherence
1. Daily Practice: Begin with 5 minutes a day, gradually increasing to 10-15 minutes as you get comfortable.
2. Use as a Reset: Whenever you feel overwhelmed, pause for a quick cardiac coherence session to restore calm.
3. Morning Boost: Start your day with cardiac coherence to set a calm, focused tone.
4. Evening Wind-Down: Practice before bed to help your body transition into restful sleep.
5. Combine with Gratitude: While breathing, think of something you're grateful for. This enhances the emotional benefits of the practice.
Daily Practice Example
Morning: 5 minutes to energize and focus your mind for the day. Midday: A quick session to counteract stress or fatigue. Evening: 5-10 minutes to relax your mind and body for sleep. Tip: you can shift to the Box breathing (inhale for 5, hold for 5, exhale for 5, hold for 5) to maximize the benefits of this technique to improve your sleep routine and quality.Takeaway: By practicing cardiac coherence daily, you’re training your body and mind to work in harmony, reducing stress and fostering resilience over time. This simple exercise delivers powerful results that you can carry with you into any situation.

Belly Breathing Exercise & the Vagus Nerve
Today, we’re starting with a simple yet powerful technique: Belly Breathing. This practice harnesses the body’s natural relaxation response by activating the vagus nerve, helping us connect with a sense of calm and presence.
The Power of Belly Breathing
Most of us breathe shallowly, which keeps the body on high alert. Belly breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing, shifts the body into a restful state, calming both mind and body.
It activates the vagus nerve—a key player in the body’s "rest-and-digest" system.
About the Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the body, connecting the brain to key organs like the heart, lungs, and digestive system. When stimulated through deep breathing, it signals the body to relax, lowering heart rate, reducing anxiety, and improving digestion.
Benefits of Strengthening Vagal Tone:
Higher heart rate variability (HRV), improving resilience to stress. Better emotional regulation and adaptability to stress. Lower inflammation and potential benefits for long-term health.Belly Breathing Exercise
Duration: 5-10 minutes
Frequency: Morning, midday, or evening (or all three if time permits!)
1. Find a Quiet Space: Sit or lie down comfortably. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
2. Inhale Slowly: Breathe in through your nose for 4-5 seconds, allowing your belly to rise. Your chest should stay as still as possible.
3. Exhale Slowly: Breathe out through your mouth for 6-7 seconds, feeling your belly fall as the air leaves your body.
4. Repeat for 5-10 Minutes: Stay focused on the rhythm of your breath. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your breathing.
Practical Tips for Integrating Belly Breathing into Daily Life
1. Anchor It: Link your practice to daily routines, like waiting in line or before meals.
2. Quick Reset: In stressful moments, pause and take 1-2 minutes of belly breaths to regain calm.
3. Visual/Tactile Cue: Place a small object on your belly when lying down to feel the rise and fall.
4. Add an Affirmation: Use calming phrases like, “I am safe” or, “I let go of tension” as you breathe.
5. Create a Safe Space: If possible, practice in a calming environment with dim lighting or relaxing music.
Daily Practice Example
Morning: Start the day with 3-5 minutes of belly breathing to set a calm, centered tone. Midday: Take a few deep belly breaths before lunch or whenever you feel tense. Evening: End the day with a 5-minute belly breathing session to prepare for restful sleep.Remember: These few minutes each day can provide significant returns on well-being. Over time, your body will naturally shift toward a calm, resilient state.
Takeaway: Today, you’re building a powerful tool for serenity. As you practice, notice any shifts in your mood, energy, or sense of calm.

"You have to want it. You have to want to transform. You have to want to reinvent yourself. And that comes with growing pains. It's difficult to do, but if you are able to learn to love life again in this other way, in this other life that you didn't choose, it's a pretty good life." - Marie-Helene Brody
In this episode, listeners are invited into an insightful conversation between host Marie-Eve Bédard and Marie Helene Brody, a bilingual speech-language pathologist specializing in young children with language disorders and developmental challenges like autism.
Marie-Helene offers a unique perspective on both professional and personal growth.
The conversation takes a poignant turn towards Marie-Helene’s five-year struggle with infertility involving several medical interventions (insemination, IVF treatments, egg donation, etc.).
This journey was fraught with emotional exhaustion compounded by multiple miscarriages which led her to seek therapy—a crucial step toward healing where she learned self-compassion amidst grief.
Her narrative reflects broader themes prevalent among many women who face societal pressures regarding motherhood—pressures demanding acknowledgment alongside internal dialogues promoting kindness towards oneself during such trials.
Tune in now to hear more about her story!
Marie-Helene's Bio:
I am a 49 year-old childless woman who lives in the Greater Montreal Area in Quebec. I am a Speech-Language-Pathologist who works with young children who have language and developmental difficulties in private practice for the last 17 years. I am also married and I have been with my spouse for the last 17 years. We had two cats for many years, one passed away last year, we are left with our 16 year old cat that we adopted when we first got together. We tried having a child for about 10 years (from early 30s to early 40s), tried at home, with IVF, many early miscarriages, operations, egg donation, nothing worked. I went to therapy for two years bc I was lost in my identity and my grief was so intense. I finally found Femme Sans Enfant, a saving life line for me...women who understood from the inside what I was going through. They are my second family. I have also contributed actively to further the cause of childless women and people: I participated in many (7) university studies in the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, women studies, fine arts, and poetry, by sharing my experience. I also made a video interview with Catherine Emmanuelle Delisle, the founder of FSE about my experience, which she shared during her many conferences to women and childless people here in Quebec and in France. I also participated a few years ago in a TV program here in Quebec called Rire Sans Tabou on childless and childfree people, two men, two women, by choice and by circumstance. I participate every year in the World Childless Week by writing a text online on different topics, like the importance of our pets in our lives. After MUCH work on myself, I am finally at peace with being childless, when I had thought it was not possible...

"There is more freedom in the unknown discomfort than there is in the known discomfort." - Marie-Eve Bédard
This episode dives into how fog, much like snowstorms, can create an introspective space that invites us to embrace both external and internal changes.
Host Marie-Eve begins her narrative by painting a vivid picture of a fog-laden morning in November.
The scene evokes memories of snowy days back home in Montreal, Canada—a place synonymous with chilly winters and cozy indoors.
For many, snow and fog symbolize coldness; for her, they represent warmth and coziness.
It's an invitation to slow down, introspect, and find internal calm amidst external chaos.

"Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day-in, day-out. Not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years. And working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint." - Angela Duckworth

"Strong Ones Do It Alone. Smart Ones Do It Together." - Marie-Eve Bédard
One key takeaway from this episode is the distinction between personal power and circumstantial power, how one feeds the growth of the other and how important it is to have them both evolve hand in hand.
While it's vital to harness one's inner strength and capabilities, it is equally important to align external circumstances with one's vision.
This involves curating environments—reflected by those five people you spend most time with—that nurture your aspirations instead of stifling them.
Host Marie-Eve encourages listeners to identify energy leaks caused by unsupportive settings or relationships.
She advocates restructuring these environments through setting boundaries and engaging in necessary conversations that bolster one's path forward.

“The stone has no hope of being anything other than stone. But from collaborating, it assembles and becomes a temple.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
In an era where climate change is one of the most pressing global issues, the intersection of faith and science has emerged as a beacon for environmental stewardship.
In this episode, host Marie-Eve and her guest Norm Leo dive into how we can have pivotal roles in promoting ecological balance driven by deep-rooted appreciation for nature while offering nuanced perspectives on navigating intersections between science spirituality & environmental advocacy.
Are you ready to dive into a conversation that bridges the gap between science and faith while championing environmental stewardship? Let's go for a walk!
Bio: Norm is a atmospheric scientist and theologian from Montréal. He is a public speaker with a graduate degree in atmospheric science (climate & weather!) and he also has an Masters in Theology. Like a superhero leading a double life, his day job involves decoding scientific concepts while weekends often find him preaching in a church. Norman is the founder of the Green Churches Network in Canada, an environmental charity. He previously held the position of Head of scientific education at the Biosphère, Environment Museum. Norm's mission lies in raising awareness among people who rarely hear about caring for the environment. He is also the author of three books.

"Please do cry. Let your emotions flow like water. Through your tears, you will find clarity, calm, and healing."
- Marie-Eve Bédard
In this heartfelt episode of Walk with ME, host Marie-Eve dives into an often overlooked yet fundamental part of human emotional regulation—crying.
Why are we so quick to tell someone, “Please don’t cry,” when tears are a natural, healing process?
Join Marie-Eve as she defends the power of tears, explaining the types of tears, their physiological benefits, and why emotional tears, in particular, are so critical for our mental and physical well-being.
Learn how releasing emotions through crying can lead to a sense of clarity, relief, and even euphoria, all thanks to the body’s production of stress-relieving hormones like endorphins.
Marie-Eve also sheds light on how we, as children, naturally use tears to communicate needs and how society often conditions us to suppress them as adults.
This episode explores how, instead of saying "please don’t cry," we can create safe spaces for emotional release and embrace crying as an important tool for nervous system regulation.
With personal insights, practical tips on creating conducive environments for emotional release, and the science behind why crying is so powerful, Marie-Eve encourages listeners to reconnect with their tears and see them as a form of self-care and emotional cleansing.
