Meet Julie Anne Christophe | Life Catalyst

We had the good fortune of connecting with Julie Anne Christophe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Julie Anne, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I am from a small town just outside of Montreal, Qc. I grew up in a high-middle class French speaking family and like most of us, growing up I lived through rejection, I was judged for my appearance and I was often not understood by my friends and family.

These experiences caused a lot of pain. A pain that was screaming loud and made me behave in destructive ways and chase the wrong things and wrong people. I had to do something about it if I wanted a successful and fulfilling life. I had to heal myself, but how? The “traditional way” of therapy was not successful so what could I do?

Synchronicity did its job and one morning, at a networking event, I met a coach/mentor. I decided to take the plunge and INVEST IN MYSELF so I started working with her, and still do 15 years later! Choosing to invest in myself was life changing. I experienced so much power and freedom in healing my wounds. There is NO WAY I would be where I am today doing what I do if I had not started this transformational journey.

Every year, I invest time, money and energy with my coach/mentor to keep expanding and moving forward in alignment. I know too well how important it is to have someone objective guiding you. No matter how awaken you are, it’s very easy to lose ourselves and let the “human side” get what it wants.

I know I cannot lead someone past my own evolution point so investing in myself and my own transformation is crucial in my success and the transformation of my clients. With this work, I integrate more and more every day who I truly am and show up to it.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I call myself a Life Catalyst and Conscious Messenger. Basically,I help people catalyze change within themselves. I coach, guide and mentor my clients in understanding what is causing their perception and experience of their world. The perception is what I call “the story” they create for their life based on their programs and beliefs. Pulling them out of the story helps them see “reality” or the real energy behind the story. By doing so, they become aware of what is keeping them small and stuck so they can release it. Once this process is done, they can step in the power of who they truly are and allow their true Self to emerge. What better feeling than the feeling of being YOU!!! That is true FREEDOM!

I have worked with close to a thousand individuals in helping them consciously stand in their true self and create the life they are destined to live. This wasn’t an easy road, I had to do my work first in order to guide my clients. The more I expand and reach new levels, more stuff comes up! I had to work through my own blocks, through my own demons and release fear of rejection and fear of success. I had to step into knowing and owing my true self… all of it, dark and light. It is not easy to accept the shame you carry, accept traits that you label as bad. I know I had a hard time accepting my arrogance. I was using arrogance to protect myself from feeling like an imposter. Once I learnt to work WITH my arrogance and accept it, it dissipated.

So if there’s one thing I learnt is that it’s by SEEING and ACCEPTING all of you that you set yourself free.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m not someone who goes out or visit the city very much… There are the classic to visit in Montreal which are St-Laurent street (the Main) and stop for a drink on one of many restaurants. There is one restaurant I absolutely bring friends and it’s Momo Sushi. It is the BEST vegan sushi EVER!!! Even tastier than traditional sushi. You have to reserve at least 1 week ahead…

Summer time is the season of festival in Montreal so when ever you come during the summer, you will have fun downtown!!!

As a summer and nature chick, my preference is to spend the day on a boat with a few friends, water ski, wake surf and finish the day with a nice happy hour and dinner by the water!!! That is a perfect day!

A trip up North to Mont Tremblant is a must. Whether you want to hike the mountain during the summer or walk the village and shop a little, you are guaranteed to have a blast. Winter time is ski time at Tremblant!!! Rent skis and jump on the mountain!!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Lisa Lajoie, my mentor and coach of the past 15 years is the person who guided me in me being who I am today. With love, compassion and sometimes a kick in the ass, she pushes me to embody more and more my true self. She teaches me how to use and develop my own gifts and abilities so I can serve with impact.

She guided me through my darkness and never stopped believing in me. I really don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for her. Thank you Lisa. I am so grateful to have you in my life.
