Self-Love, Identity Shifts and Acceptance in the Service of Greater Contribution

"I would realize that my own clients would not see themselves the way I would see them. So I was like, okay, I need other skills for myself and for my clients. We cannot just hide ourselves and not live to the fullest because everything is not perfect. It doesn't work like that."
- Julie Dessureault

In a world that often feels like it's spinning faster than we can keep up, finding our grounding through personal growth and self-expression is more important than ever.
In this episode, we dive Julie Dessureault's story, an extraordinary photographer whose life journey and work have become synonymous with transformation, empowerment, and authenticity.
Julie is not just a master behind the lens; she is also a beacon of empowerment for women. Her journey through personal struggles with body image has led her to adopt a philosophy centered on internal transformation rather than external approval. This shift has profoundly impacted both her life and those of her clients.
In our discussion, we delved into how vulnerability can be incredibly powerful - something that became evident during an emotional photoshoot we shared.
Julie's experiences with weight loss surgery and embracing her own scars have fueled her work ethic and personal ethos, teaching us all that self-love isn't about chasing perfection but about respecting every part of oneself.
We also touched upon the importance of breaking free from societal expectations, setting healthy boundaries, and committing to introspection. These themes are deeply woven into Julie’s narrative and are reflected in the strength and authenticity now synonymous with her brand. I am truly honored to share her insights here with you.
Boundless Love,
ME

About my Special Guest:
I AM JULIE. The Kodak Angel and self-love specialist.
I'm the creator of the Corps Joyeux coaching program and an activist for body diversity.
An artist at heart and an empath, I contribute to openness and well-being with my knowledge of photography, my passion for women and my philosophy of sensitivity to all beings on their journey.
The medicine of my camera is a form of photography in which the inner connection comes first.
It is with finesse and joy that I accompany women entrepreneurs towards the full expansion of their personality, propelling their brand and liberating the expression of their essence.
Much more than a brand photographer, I'm a personal brand identity coach. I'm creative, emancipated and always ready to make you shine.
My goal goes beyond image to:
- help you develop your identity,
- propel you towards excellence,
- and reveal the unique light within you.
I often say "Whoever wants to learn to love himself follows me...".
MY KODAK IS MY RIGHT ARM
For more than 25 years, my camera has been giving me its secrets. Not all the clicks I've made have been conclusive, especially when it came to taking pictures of myself.
I've photographed and accompanied thousands of women. I've learned a lot from them and from the professional training courses I've taken over the years.
Thanks to this revealing path and all the wonderful photos you could take with your cell phone, I invite you to follow me on the adventure of the selfie and the Happy Body.
