Do you ever feel stuck in doubt, overwork, feeling like you are not enough or too much?
You might be living an inherited survival story and not the one your soul came here to tell.
Welcome to
Story Alchemy
Change your story, Change your life.
Your life might look impressive on paper. Maybe you are a high-achiever. Maybe you are just holding it together. Either way, inside, something aches.
You feel stuck. Uncomfortable. Bound by an invisible chain or wall.
You might describe it as a glass ceiling you can't break, a cage you can't see, a wall you can't escape.
You show up, do the work, carry the load, and smile through most of it, but part of you feels trapped. You know you are not broken, yet you can't shake the feeling a piece of you is missing.
You wonder, "Why do I still feel like I'm not enough even after all the growth work I've done?"
Under the surface, it feels like a pressure you can't quite name. Like the life you've worked so hard to build isn't reaching its potential.
It's not that your life is falling apart. It's that you're no longer willing to hold it together.
You feel the tension. You hear the whisper. You know this is not who you are meant to be.
That's where awakening begins.
"You have the power to take control of your own story and rewrite your destiny." - Oprah Winfrey
This is not just about finding your voice or pretending you are someone else. It's about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
Remembering who you were before the overworking, the people pleasing, and the pressure to prove your worth and  reclaiming your story as the sacred blueprint of your becoming, not the prison of your past.
Story Alchemy is the path from performing the old story to embodying the new one, not by fighting it, or working harder, but by alchemizing it.
"You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you." - Brian Tracy
Awakening your Story happens through six levels:
Level 1: Awakening from the Illusion
(THE STORY YOU TELL)
Break free from the story that silenced you.
You’ve done everything “right,” yet something still feels off. You’re exhausted from proving, pleasing, and performing. This is your moment of rebellion—the sacred No More. Here, you’ll finally name the story that’s kept you bound and begin to break it.
This level is for you if: you feel like you’re carrying a life that doesn’t match your truth, and you’re ready to reclaim your right to live, rest, feel, and choose again.
Here, you learn to question your default narrative and gently dismantle the mask.
Level 2: Awakening to Integrity
(THE STORY YOU FEEL)
Stop betraying yourself to belong.
You’ve spent years dimming your light to keep the peace. But peace at the cost of your truth isn’t peace, it’s performance. Here, you’ll recognize the roles you were cast in and begin writing your own script.
This level is for you if: you're ready to choose your voice over their version of you, even if it means walking away from approval, tradition, or silence.
Here you stop abandoning yourself in the name of peace, approval, or being “good.” Integrity isn't about being perfect, it's about being whole.
You stop judging your feelings as “too much” and recognize them as messages of aliveness.
Level 3: Awakening Your Voice and Power
(THE STORY YOU INHERITED)
Be seen. Be heard. Be you.
The voice you silenced to survive is the one that will set you free. Here, you’ll reclaim your power, release the fear of judgment, and speak your truth out loud, unapologetically.
This level is for you if: you’ve done the inner work and are ready to show up in your life with radical self-trust, fierce clarity, and full expression.
Here you reclaim your voice, embody the truth, and claim unapologetic visibility without needing permission, proof, or perfection.
Level 4: Awakening the Sacred Feminine
(THE STORY YOUR SOUL CAME TO LIVE)
You are no longer becoming—you are being.
This is where the internal shifts take shape in the external world. You’re no longer hiding parts of yourself to fit in or be palatable. You live aligned, lead with intuition, and walk in your full sacred expression. This is the unapologetic you who is radiant, sovereign, and rooted.
This level is for you if: you're done shrinking, censoring, or self-abandoning, and you’re ready to embody the goddess within—wild, wise, and wholly yourself.
Here you stop hiding and start radiating. You’ve shed the stories of shame, silence, and striving. Now, you rise in your feminine power—not to prove, but to embody. You don’t ask for permission. You own your presence. This is about living as the woman who trusts her intuition, honors her worth, and expresses herself fully and unapologetically.
Level 5: Awakening to Alignment
(THE STORY YOU'RE MEANT TO TELL)
Live in full alignment with who you truly are.
Your embodiment becomes integration. You don’t just speak your truth—you organize your life around it. Your energy, your choices, your boundaries, your relationships, your business—they all reflect the real you. No more outsourcing your intuition. No more negotiating your needs. This level is about sustained alignment—not as a practice, but as a way of life.
This level is for you if: you've reclaimed your power and are ready to align your daily life with your deepest values and vision.
Here you rise, not as a victim of your story, but as the voice of it.
You rewrite your narrative from a place of power and vision, sharing it in ways that liberate others while deeply aligning with your truth.
Level 6: My Story Awakens Others
(LIVING THE ALCHEMIZED STORY)
Guide others through the transformation you’ve lived.
You are the proof that transformation is possible—and now, you're ready to lead others through the fire. This isn’t just about storytelling. It’s about becoming a skilled guide who can help others shift their narrative, reclaim their voice, and rise into their truth. You'll be trained in the Story Alchemy Method™, holding space with integrity, depth, and embodied wisdom.
This level is for you if: you know you’re here to create ripple effects of healing, visibility, and liberation—and you’re ready to step into your role as a certified coach, guide, or transformational leader.
Now, you live from your story—not in it. you embody your truth in real time. You become the author of your next chapter. Not from force or performance, but from deep-rooted alignment.
Your presence changes rooms. Your voice becomes medicine. Your life becomes a mirror of what’s possible.
"You don’t have to rewrite the whole story today. Just be willing to hold the pen."
- Marie-Josee Borduas, Awakening Your Story (Guide)
You are only one insight away to bridging the gap from where you are to where you want to be.
Your Stories Define You
Our lives are a collection of stories – narratives we've adopted and internalized, often without conscious awareness. These stories shape our beliefs, decisions, and actions. Story Alchemy is about becoming the author of your own narrative, reclaiming the power to shape your destiny.
Together, we gently peel back the layers, unveiling the tales that have been the guiding force in your life. We sift through the wisdom, the challenges, and the triumphs to uncover the authentic narrative that awaits.

This journey is for you if…
-
You’re living a life that looks “fine” on the outside but feels hollow on the inside.
-
You feel disconnected from your voice, your body, your purpose—but you don’t know why.
-
You’ve started waking up to the stories you inherited… and you’re no longer willing to live by them.
-
You’re craving truth, depth, realness—and the courage to stop pretending.
-
You want to be fully, Unapologetically YOU—even if that means letting go of the version of you others are comfortable with.
Consider this your permission slip. A gentle invitation to the more you have been craving. Not to be louder or more polished.
But to be more you than you’ve ever dared to be.
"Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, and your values become your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi

About me
If you are new to my world, my name is Marie-Josee.
I am a mom of two beautiful girls, wife to an amazing husband, and creator of a life I love to wake up to every day.
I am a published author, speaker, course creator, and workshop facilitator.
We live part of the year on a beautiful island in the Caribbean called Montserrat and the other part in Toronto, Canada.
I have a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Western Ontario.
I spent the first half of my career working hard to prove myself and feel worthy to take up space. I worked so hard that life became barely worth living.
I felt weighed down by overwhelming amounts of sadness, anger, and depression. Life became unbearable, and I felt so disconnected from my dreams and the vision of the person I thought I was or should be that I decided to end it all.
And that's when I thought, "If I am going to end it all anyway, why not live in the meantime? Why not give myself permission to live my life how I want, to live, love and laugh again? Because then, if it doesn't work out, I'll have nothing to lose and can end it."
Fortunately, in my desire to live, I found a new zest for life and realized who I was, who I had always been, beneath all other people's ideas of who I should be.
Then, sadly, in 2016, my mother passed away prematurely from pancreatic cancer. She was only fifty-eight, and she had never freed herself of the stress, anger, or depression that had plagued her all her life.
That's when I finally spurred myself into action. I realized the finiteness of life and threw away all the reasons why not and committed to pursue all the reasons why. I committed to empowering women to break the chains that keep them stuck by writing a new, more empowering story.
My superpowers are faith, love, authenticity, energy, and playfulness. I use these to create online spaces for people to connect, write their stories and practice spontaneity and authenticity through play so they can remember who they are and create their most vibrant lives.
Because as Howard Thurman has pointed out, that's what the world needs – people who have come truly alive. That is the only thing that can change and heal the whole world – when you remember who you are and reconnect to all your superpowers.
You get one chance at this life. So, live boldly, live passionately, and live with purpose.
If you feel stuck, don't waste the precious time given to you - let's get you back into the flow of life.
I am ready to change my story!
