Episode Synopsis

Episode 5: Ever caught yourself staring at your to-do list, wondering, Is this really my life?
That’s exactly where Marie Sirois found herself—until she flipped the script.  
Marie went from 10-hour workdays as a lawyer (cue the stress and sleepless nights 😰) to sipping coconut water on the beaches of Costa Rica (cue the ocean breeze and gratitude journals 🌴). But her journey wasn’t as simple as packing up a suitcase and saying goodbye to burnout—it took courage, trust, and a LOT of soul searching.  
In this episode of Star Sisters, Marie and I chat about what it’s really like to leave a high-powered career behind, embrace the unknown, and build a life rooted in joy and balance. Spoiler alert: it’s not all sunshine and hammocks, but the lessons she’s learned are gold.  
Here’s what we’re diving into:
✨ The exact moment Marie realized her life as a lawyer was no longer sustainable (hint: it involves a late-night call and a heavy dose of burnout)  
✨ How her move to Costa Rica wasn’t just a change of scenery—it was a transformation for her entire family  
✨ The surprising ways practicing gratitude helped her heal and find clarity (even in the hardest moments)  
✨ Practical tips for adding more harmony to your daily life—even if you’re not ready to move to a tropical paradise  
✨ Why taking small steps (instead of giant leaps) can lead to the biggest transformations  
This episode is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: What if there’s a different way to live?
So, grab your favorite cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and get ready to soak in Marie’s story. You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you just might feel inspired to take a bold step toward the life you’re meant to live.
