Walk with Marie-Eve Bédard
"Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself."- Lisa O’Rear.. DESCRIPTIONIn this moving episode, host Marie-Eve Bédard and her guest Lisa O'Rear explore how grief and trauma shape the ways we engage with family, revealing how loss can both fracture and deepen our relationships. Lisa opens up about life, loss, and the moments that redefine our connection to ourselves and those we love. She shares her harrowing experience of being dismissed by the medical system during a stroke, the fear and uncertainty of navigating serious health crises, and the hard-won lessons about trusting her body and advocating for her own care. From the challenges of reclaiming agency in the face of medical authority, to the unexpected joy of seeing her mother as not just a parent but a full human being with wisdom, humor, and vitality, Lisa reflects on the ways life’s disruptions open space for empathy, understanding, and forgiveness.This conversation is an honest, empowering exploration of grief, resilience, and the transformative power of loss to teach us how to love more fully, live more consciously, and embrace the complexity of family in all its messiness and beauty. .

Welcome! I'm Marie-Eve, a French-Canadian living in the German Black Forest with her husband and dogs, where walking is practice, lifestyle, and philosophy—a way to reconnect, honor, and deepen our bond with ourselves, each other, and the living earth. I am a master biologist, naturopath, somatics and fasciatherapeutic movement educator, in-betweenness mentor, life transition guide, and thanadoula, moving at the crossroads of science, spirit, and embodied wisdom. Here, we go on literal and metaphorical walks, where grief, life, death, transformation, and neurospicyness collide with curiosity, courage, and heart-to-heart wisdom. Every step reveals thresholds: truths we no longer avoid, stories we carry into the light, and possibilities that emerge when familiar paths vanish and we discover new, aligned ways to continue walking our journey. Walk with ME to discover how your brutiful (brutal + beautiful) grief will spark the revolution of your life. Dare, Always.
