DARE AND SHINE
There are evenings that leave a special light in the heart.
Yesterday in Bordeaux, 80 women came together. Strangers, friends, women in motion. All united around a circle: LM, this Maison 123 project conceived as a breath of fresh air. A special moment apart.
A gentle yet demanding space. A place where we don’t pretend to be, where we simply are.
LM is more than just a meeting. It’s a connection.
A way to truly meet one another. To weave alliances between women. To share our stories, our aspirations, our contradictions. To understand, finally, that sisterhood is a quiet yet immense force. And that nothing compares to a woman who dares. Nothing holds back a woman who shines.
To dare is not to dominate.
It’s to choose your truth, even when it disrupts.
To shine is not to glow for others.
It’s to let the light pass through.
Three small gestures to stay aligned:
✨ Surround yourself with those who elevate us.
✨ Speak up, even with a trembling voice.
✨ Celebrate yourself, a little, each day.
Marine Alari
FOUNDER OF KOCON, THE 1ST CO-WORKING DAYCARE IN FRANCE
Movingly authentic, embodying this ambitious motherhood that so many of us try to invent, every day.
Anne Sophie Nardy
FOUNDER OF ON THE WILD SIDE
The firm yet gentle voice of Anne-Sophie Nardy, who speaks to us about roots, convictions, respect for living things — and that strength born from a return to the natural world.
Inès Leonarduzzi
ENVIRONMENTALIST AND AUTHOR OF “REPAIRING THE FUTURE”
The words of Inès Léonarduzzi, lucid and luminous, reminding us that sometimes we need to slow down to survive. To recenter ourselves to truly exist. And that alignment is a form of absolute beauty.
