Born on a Monday
Note: If you want to get a sense of where I’m at and who I am, this “2024 summary” blog post will probably help.
I am Marie LePage, a transformational coach, deep thinker, and conceptual guide dedicated to helping others navigate personal deconstruction, emotional integration, and self-reclamation. My work is not about offering quick fixes or surface-level self-help, but instead about guiding people toward deep-seated clarity, embodiment, and self-trust.
My Journey
I grew up in an environment that dictated thoughts, emotions, and meaning—a childhood shaped by evangelical Christianity, emotional repression, and inherited societal frameworks. For most of my life, I masked profound internal chaos, ruminated endlessly, and felt fundamentally disconnected from my own body and mind. I lived in survival mode, burdened by existential terror, overwhelming shame, and an inability to interpret my own internal experiences.
In 2020, desperate for relief, I tried psilocybin and experienced a self-awareness that shattered my conditioned reality. What followed was a terrifying unraveling of my psychological foundation, leading to years of intense learning, deconstruction, and integration. I fought to stay alive as I waded through derealization, depersonalization, and the sheer terror of reconstructing my mind. Through this process, I discovered emotional literacy, embodiment, and a way of being in the world that actually made sense to me.
My Approach to Coaching
I know what it’s like to feel lost inside your own head, disconnected from your emotions, and unsure of what’s real. My coaching is built for people who are navigating these kinds of internal struggles—whether they are deconstructing their beliefs, working through trauma, or trying to figure out who they are beyond conditioning. My philosophy centers around:
✔ Overthinking to Understanding – Breaking through mental loops and reframing identity with clarity.
✔ Disconnection to Embodiment – Recognizing emotions as bodily experiences rather than abstract ideas.
✔ Fear to Self-Trust – Letting go of imposed beliefs and learning to trust one's own instincts.
✔ Confusion to Integration – Making sense of personal evolution without feeling lost in the process.
I am not a guru, therapist, or savior. I am a fellow traveler—someone who has walked through the depths of self-reconstruction and now offers tools, insights, and frameworks to help others do the same. I bring deep listening, candid support, and non-hierarchical guidance to my coaching work. My goal is to help clients develop autonomy, intuition, and a sense of safety within themselves.
Who I Work With
My coaching is best suited for people who:
Are deconstructing their identity, beliefs, or emotional world and need a clear path forward.
Struggle with embodiment, emotional regulation, or trusting their own experiences.
Want deep, structured conversations that challenge old patterns without falling into new dogmas.
Need support in rebuilding a life that feels truly their own after leaving restrictive ideologies or ways of thinking.
I do not offer traditional therapy, nor do I seek to become a credentialed coach. Instead, I offer myself as a candid, living-it-myself human—honest, direct, and dedicated to treating you with the respect and autonomy you inherently deserve. I will share from my own pain and experience while creating space for you to make sense of your own.
