Episode 41: The Art Of Mindfulness

With a bachelor’s degree in psychology and cumulative experience of more than 7 years in sales, makeup artistry, community service, and customer service, Marjolaine began her journey as a mindfulness coach organically. While on an exchange during her Bachelor’s degree in psychology, she realized that she wanted to trod the offbeat path to living a fuller and unlimited life rather than pursue a master’s degree in speech-language pathology as she’d planned before.

This shift leads her diving deeper into the works of Job Kabat-Zinn and the practice of mindfulness. She set up Yoga With Bow overnight and began her entrepreneurial journey, taking one big step at a time she lives in Germany, she’s launched an album on Spotify and is working on the second, has built a super minimalistic lifestyle and runs a beautiful mindfulness resource for creative women entrepreneurs and businesses to ignite their potential, spark their creativity and truly align their work with their purpose and gift.

Founding Yoga With A Bow:

Marjolaine Savoie founded Yoga With Bow to guide women entrepreneurs and aspiring change-makers to elevate their business and life using mindfulness. With this powerful tool for change and growth, she has helped many rewrite their stories and reclaim their lives. Her mission is to spread awareness of mindfulness within the entrepreneurial world. She empowers women entrepreneurs and businesses to take actions towards their vision and turn inwards using mindful tools and effective coaching sessions.

Her vision is to bring people back to the moment in their life where they currently are, in order to take a deep breath, visualize and brainstorm, before they choose their next move in a savvy way. She strongly believes in a new generation of creative leaders, running purposeful businesses and implementing mindfulness in their lives and projects to raise communities, unite women and have a positive impact on their world on a small or larger scale.

Learning How To Let Go:

As a new business owner, a lot of us have the impulse to try to control everything. It can not only stress us out but it can keep us from really moving forward. Marjolaine believes that learning how to relinquish some of that control and let go a bit can be really beneficial for business owners and just for anyone in general. She mentioned that it’s all about realizing what you know and what you don’t know. When you sit down and really think about what you know you are able to stop beating yourself up and understand that you did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time.

Confidence and Decision Making Are Skills You Have To Practice:

Marjolaine shared a really great exercise you can try to help you get better at decision making and being confident in the decision you made. She calls it the ice cream exercise. Start picking your ice cream flavor really fast and let go of all the other ice cream flavors that you could have chosen that might taste better. Start giving yourself these small wins so you start trusting yourself and start trusting the decisions you make.
