J'ai quitté un poste de DG à 25 ans et je referais ça les yeux fermés | Épisode anniversaire 40 ans

For my 40th birthday, I decided to step into the spotlight. This time, Maroussia is interviewing me—no filter, no script, just me. I left a CEO position at 25 that everyone envied. And I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I'm 40. A husband, two daughters, six professional lives, and a career change in progress. A non-linear path that doesn't resemble any classic career plan. At 25, I was a CEO in Paris. I was earning a very good living. And I cried every other night when I got home. So I left it all to travel, get married, and start over somewhere else. And nobody understood. In this anniversary episode, I talk about career changes, the freedom to choose your life, motherhood, and female entrepreneurship. Big choices, small ones, the ones we embrace, and the ones that scare us. And what 40 years have taught me about myself. "In life, we always have a choice. And not making a choice is already a choice." ⏳ Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction & presentation of Marine [XX:XX] - The weather of freedom & her definition of choice [XX:XX] - Her greatest act of freedom: leaving a CEO position at 25 [XX:XX] - The turning point — when Julien told her "you don't seem happy" [XX:XX] - What a little girl she was — childhood in the countryside with her father [XX:XX] - Early choices — high school, autonomy, freedom within a framework [XX:XX] - Studies and New Caledonia — the first big leap [XX:XX] - The 6 professional lives — Paris, Lyon, the turning points [XX:XX] - Motherhood — working 80%, exhaustion, sacrifices [XX:XX] - The recent choice — the podcast and current projects [XX:XX] - "Would You Rather" segment with Maroussia [XX:XX] - Chinese Portrait — suitcase, Happy by Pharrell, Maude Ankawa [XX:XX] - Her final piece of advice — follow what calls to you IF THIS EPISODE INSPIRED YOU: 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next stories of freedom. 💬 Leave a comment: What's a choice you made that no one understood? 📢 Share with someone who's hesitant to follow their instincts.
