On this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I’m joined by Marie Eve Talbot, a soulful online business mentor from Montreal who seamlessly blends ancient wisdom with modern entrepreneurship. Marie Eve shared her personal mantra, “Expand and Shine,” a phrase she crafted over 15 years ago while transitioning from a soul-draining ecology job to her current calling. We dive deep into what “expanding” means for her — from nourishing self-care and learning bravely outside your comfort zone, to growing through rest as much as through action. For Marie Eve, “shining” means sharing your gifts and joy with the world, letting that energy flow into everything you do. Her journey reminds us that true fulfillment comes not only from personal growth, but from generously sharing our light. Tune in for insights on how to follow your curiosity, rekindle childlike joy, and make even small acts of sharing part of your daily wisdom practice. If you’re looking to find purpose, strategy, and authenticity in your own journey, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
