I help creatives & entrepreneurs get unstuck, find focus and create unique careers and businesses.

Hi! I’m Murielle Marie. My superpower is to help you get unstuck.
I like to call myself a mentor to the unconventional. For more than eight years, I’ve helped clients from around the world figure out what to do next, change careers or build successful businesses.
You know that voice inside you that tells you something is missing from your life? The one you keep ignoring? That’s the voice of your dreams crying out for you to listen to them!
I was once where you are. I traded a high-paying corporate job and my own high-stress business for life-affirming work and happiness. I chose joy over fear, and freedom over constraints. I said no to societal pressures to conform, and went my own way.
My passion is helping others, like you, realize that living a life that allows you to live your most authentic dreams is more important and inspiring than staying where you are. We all change. It’s inevitable. But don’t you want to be in control of how it happens? Well, I’m here to tell you that you can!
I will help you conquer your fears, get unstuck, and build courage to go after what you really want. It all starts with the first step. If you’re ready to say f*ck it and follow your heart, we need to talk!
You’re a talented, driven human working your way at what is considered a good career. You have many interests, and love learning new things. You’re a go-getter who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty. In fact, maybe you work a little too much. You spend most of your time worrying about your responsibilities, taking care of others, making sure things get done.
But the thing is... Something’s missing from your life. You have a hunch that everything should be easier and more beautiful than it is. You wish you had more time, so you wouldn’t have to run around playing catch-up with your to-do list all the time. You’re yearning for more purpose, joy, happiness. You have big ideas, things you’re passionate about but you have doubts and fears.
What do you really want?
My Credentials
“I can't say enough about my experience with Murielle as my business coach! From the moment we connected, I felt like she understood exactly what I needed. Murielle's kindness and approachability made it easy for me to open up and be vulnerable about my struggles in business.
One of the most valuable things Murielle did was to introduce me to powerful exercises that completely changed my perspective. She encouraged me to see myself not just as an entrepreneur, but as the very enterprise itself ("ondernemer is de onderneming"). This shift in mindset helped me gain a newfound confidence in tackling the challenges I was facing.
After my sessions with Murielle, I felt ready to take on whatever came my way. I'm already thinking about coming back for more! There's no one else I'd trust more than Murielle to guide me in becoming the best version of my creative generalist self. She helped me embrace my unique strengths instead of beating myself up for them – I’m a Creative Generalist and that’s my magic!
Thank you, Murielle, for your expertise, kindness, and unwavering support. Here's to many more breakthroughs together!

“When I started working with Murielle, I still loved my job, but I was stuck in a pattern. I was having a hard time finding a way forward. I’d had sessions with other coaches in the past but they were nothing like these sessions. Murielle never told me what to do, but instead pulled my own expertise to the surface and helped me create new ideas based on my own knowledge and experience. I’m so appreciative for everything we uncovered in my sessions and the tools Murielle gave me to keep pushing forward.

“I was in a desperate state. Completely blocked. A million ideas were fighting for attention in my mind, and not one was converting into action. It was a creative coma of some sort. I couldn’t move in any direction, there were too many possibilities. I knew I needed help. I interviewed a few creative coaches before I got to Murielle. Right away, I felt she would be the right one, and though it was a big investment for me, I did not hesitate… my creative sink had to be unclogged. And so, session by session, things unraveled. Murielle was brilliant in listening and actively dismantling the problems I had. We had focused sessions every 2 weeks, zoning in on specific problems. And then I would go off and put those ideas into action. Then I would come back, we would talk about it, and then discuss a new problem. As each session progressed, a new roadblock was removed, and the horizon got clearer and clearer, and my excitement and potential increased. Today, a few months after our last session, I still feel rejuvenated and confident about what’s to come. I can assuredly say that I’m the master of my own destiny, and it’s up to me to continue the momentum of the wind that Murielle has provided to my creative sails.

“Through the coaching program with Murielle, I have grown as an entrepreneur and person. Along the coaching journey, things clicked in my vision. I stepped out of my comfort zone by trying many different things without overthinking them (which I would typically do). Murielle connected me with other creative entrepreneurs in my field, and through those conversations, I was able to assess myself better.
Finally, I found where I belong: among other creative generalists. It's wonderful to hear that having multiple passions and interests is a positive thing and not a problem.
The most significant breakthrough for me was realizing that there is no golden formula for successful entrepreneurship but that a lot is possible, and all it takes is to keep knocking on doors, set things aside to pick them back up later, take action, dream big, move beyond fear, struggle but keep going, believe in ourselve;, and that everyone, even the most successful entrepreneurs, make success happen this way.

“I first heard of Muriëlle through a podcast and I was impressed with her story. I am someone who is eager to learn and enjoys trying new things. In my professional life, I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others by making their lives more enjoyable and easier in any way. I was uncertain about how I wanted to move forward. I struggled a lot with procrastination because I had so many ideas and couldn't decide which ones to pursue. Murielle was the final push I needed to take action and get back on track. She guided me through the process of getting to know myself better and achieving my goals.

“Murielle was the first person I found whose personal journey resonated with my own and who validated the way my divergent brain works and encouraged me to have multiple interests. She gave me hope and furthermore helped me refine my goals for myself and find tangible actions I could take to move closer to them.

“When I first heard Murielle speak, it was at an online free conference for women entrepreneurs where multiple Coaches and business professionals were speaking on their specific expertise. When I heard Murielle speak, I knew I needed her to be able to move forward not only with my business, but with my life! After the free 30-minute session, I could not believe how I had a breakthrough and felt so much better about myself and confident about my future.
She really helps to put things into perspective and help you come up with creative next steps for you to be able to put the bigger picture together, through small bites. I think I re-hired her like 2 more times! I know I have not had the last session with her! She will help you kick-start your business, career, personal mental health, and anything you need help with! I can not thank her and recommend her enough!

"When I connected with Murielle, I was looking for more focus in my business. Too often I felt restless and pressured. I wanted to create a business closer to myself that felt more at ease. Murielle’s book on creative generalists made me realize I am one, so I wanted to explore how to put creativity at the service of my business. Together we made a realistic plan for my many projects. And she helped me take the pressure off. The coaching experience was amazing, insightful, and encouraging. I truly think Murielle is an excellent coach.

“When I met Murielle, I was struggling to combine my various activities. I felt pressured to choose a single goal. But quickly, I realized I could explore multiple options instead of selecting just one. Murielle introduced me to the concept of a 'creative generalist,' which was an eye-opener for me. With Murielle's help, I overcame my insecurities about pursuing multiple rather than just one. Instead of seeing it as a weakness, I learned that it's a great asset. Now I feel confident working across different areas within the same field. I'm proud to be a creative generalist, and my partner has noticed my increased confidence in the direction I'm taking.

"I met Murielle at an event she was speaking at, and everything she said resonated with me so much that I just knew I had to talk to her. I am SO glad I did.
At the time, I was just discharged from the hospital after a long illness and recovery that had left my life, my body and my career in ruins. I felt hopeless and scared and stuck and had no idea what my next move was going to be. Throughout our sessions so far, I learned to trust my talents and instincts again and come up with a new direction and plan for my career. She has provided me with so many tools and tricks to tackle the challenges ahead, and she does it with the kind of ease and effortlessness that can only be achieved through extensive knowledge and years of experience.
I'm not gonna lie - the future still scares me sometimes. This isn't some magical story of how my life did a complete 180 in a couple of months. The magic lies in knowing now that it's okay to be afraid, but to have the tools and the guidance to face that fear and do it anyway, and to also feel hope and drive instead of just feeling anxious and stuck. I can not recommend working with her enough, and look forward to continuing this process.

“Before being a mom, I thought that my corporate job was the right thing for me until I burned out, making me realize I wanted a different professional life, a more creative one, but I didn't know how to make it happen. I looked for help, a coach that could really understand me, I was very happy to find Murielle. With her kind and enthusiastic guidance, I confirmed who I am and what I really want, and translated this into a concrete Goal. Knowing the direction gave me a lot of confidence and clarity about what to do next.
Murielle also helped me overcome my fear of failure: realizing that even if I stumbled along the way, I was learning something and getting a step closer to my Goal. If I look back at the person who started the sessions, it is incredible to see the difference, I feel now much more self-confident and empowered, starting my own business in the field that is right for me and being the artist that I am. Thanks, Murielle!

"Although I was succeeding in supporting myself off my work, I felt at the mercy of whatever projects came my way, unable to control the workflow or to envision how I could create a more sustainable path forward. While the cynical part of myself was skeptical (I'd been stuck in the same rut for so long, how could we possibly build a whole career path in a few months?!) I grew professionally and personally through the coaching series. The difference I feel internally is real and here to stay: I'm more grounded, self-assured, and convinced of my worth and my ability to put my voice out there. It was invaluable having Murielle in my corner, as my silent "business partner," through all this. Thank you! I'm so grateful for your coaching support and your resplendent presence in my life.

“I found Murielle during a time when my life and business were all over the place. I had no strategy, no clear path to follow, and I was really struggling with my motivation. I had never worked with a coach before, but I’m so glad I took the leap and decided to invest in myself! After that first session, I left feeling hopeful and throughout our work, Murielle’s coaching has helped me organize my ideas in a more efficient way, clarify my value as a creator amidst the entrepreneurial life challenges and provided me with valuable (and so hard to find) female business perspective and insight. My only wish is that the series never ended!

“After working with Murielle, I've gained confidence and learned to fight the gremlins in my head. Whatever they say, I know I'm well worth my high-end offers. The offer is there; now it comes down to selling it. Murielle was there for me when I needed support and advice. She's like a partner in crime and a source of external self-confidence that delivers a helicopter view of your business. When I need support or an external perspective in the future, I know who to call!

“I was beginning to feel stuck and was ready to start a new professional chapter, but I had no idea how to approach that. Being a creative generalist, even choosing a direction and setting goals was problematic. Because Murielle asked so many right questions, I was triggered to journal super effectively, gather all my thoughts about my career, and create a much clearer picture. I ran every career step or direction I could think of by Murielle, an excellent sparring partner, and in the process, I could choose a path with clarity and get rid of the mental restlessness. I connected spirituality with my professional life. Murielle is simply an excellent coach. She works from the head as well as the heart and is your critical eye as well as your biggest cheerleader. Thank you for your kindness & devotion & inquiries, which, combined, triggered a transformation and gave me a great boost in confidence and energy.
Jelle Annaars (Belgium)

“Because of her background as an entrepreneur, Murielle can quickly understand the challenges in my daily professional life. She manages to quickly and efficiently get to the heart of situations, make me look at things differently and believe in myself. With practical tips and tools, I always leave after a session with the feeling that I will make the right decisions to move my business forward.

“When I first reached out to Murielle, I was feeling overwhelmed by my many interests, I lacked direction and didn't know how to start sorting through all the ideas. Murielle guided me through the chaos, we tidied up together, and as the overwhelm subsided a clear path just appeared as if it had always been there. Every meeting with Murielle was like reconnecting with an old friend who knows you so well. Not only did I achieve the clarity I was looking for in my career aspirations but I also unexpectedly learned so much about myself. Murielle is a remarkable individual and what she does is some kind of magic. I’m eternally grateful.

“Recognising myself as a Creative Generalist following Murielle’s content online, I was keen to overcome the self-doubt and procrastination plaguing my efforts to find clarity for my new business and brand. I felt at ease in each session and didn’t have to over-explain the struggles of being unconventional. Murielle is a true creative and a master of intuition, helping to get straight to the point. She instilled in me the self-awareness, confidence, and trust that I needed to string my passions together into a force for doing good, providing that clarity I longed for to propel me on my journey. Coaching with a trailblazer like Murielle is truly a worthwhile investment because you will be investing in yourself, in who you really are and the creative life you want to lead. As we say in Ireland Murielle - you’re some woman for one woman!

“Now that I'm in my 40s, I know more about myself than when I was younger, and yet I still didn't get to that last mile - to finish what I wanted. My expectations for coaching were high, but they were fulfilled easily. I loved the sessions I had with Murielle. I was much at ease, and Murielle was very approachable and empathic. She helped me to reach that last mile; I started writing more and working on my goals, and the finish line is in sight now.

“Working with Murielle is truly life-changing. I got UNSTUCK! As a coach, she genuinely listens, has great human insights, and asks the spot-on questions that trigger change. Where she really differs from other coaches is that she can explain the processes we go through with more scientific background. She understands and knows what happens in our brain; she has read and understands psychological theories and studies. This adds a truly different and deeper layer to the coaching sessions. And last, the homework, tips, and tools she shares: she's incredibly resourceful at them, and… they work. Check out her website for these because they're great!

“The perfectionist in me made it difficult for me to take steps in my new business. I also had trouble experiencing flow in my days. After our first session, I felt supported, understood and got a lot of motivation to start! Now, I feel more confident as an entrepreneur. I’m not afraid to ask my worth for my services and products. It's much easier for me to put the perfectionist aside, which means I'm making strides in my business. I’m much more empowered as an entrepreneur, but also as a content creator. I really embody that! More than ever! Stay close to yourself Murielle, you’re really a sweetheart and a power woman! I’m sure you’ll inspire many more entrepreneurs to take steps in their business. Lots of love!

“I was looking for more clarity and focus, as well as financial stability. After our first session, I felt a kind of recognition, I knew Murielle and I were 'on the same level'. This was twofold; the insight that I didn’t need to put you on a pedestal, and that there’s quite a bit more in me than I want or dare to admit. Through this coaching series I gained clarity, and the self-confidence to talk about what I do. The coaching journey was great. You’re awesome!

“When Murielle and I connected I was feeling overwhelmed. I was struggling to get organized, and to combine all the things I’m good at into a business. I enjoyed that Murielle supported me throughout the process. After our work together I'm feeling much more focused and alive. I wished I could have made a longer investment for long term support. The experience was supportive, transformative, and affirming.
Bibi Gnagno, J.D. (USA)
“When I started working with Murielle, I was trying to launch my freelance writing career after several years of jumping from one legal position to the next. Murielle helped me recognize what kind of career I actually wanted and taught me how to build the mindset to achieve it. Under her mentorship and coaching, I learned more about who I am, the way my productivity works best, and how being productive is more important than being busy. Together we were able to create tangible, action steps to reach my all my goals – personal and professional. Without her help, guidance, and friendship, I don’t know where I would be.
Alexandra Charnin (USA)

“When I first met Murielle, I had just quit my job. There were many ideas in my head, but I had no clue how to get started to create a solid business. Through Murielle's guidance, I turned all my interests into a plan which resulted in the start of my own agency. I am grateful to have her as my coach. If I had not met Murielle I would not have accomplished this much and there is still so much ahead of us! Stay tuned!

“When I met Murielle I was looking for someone to help me become a better leader at work, and stop doubting my skills in that area. Working together I learned that there are smart and easy tools to apply. The people around me have noticed a difference in my approach to things and the way I react! Coaching with Murielle was empowering and reflective.
Romy Vierhouten (Belgium)

“When I met Murielle I was trying to launch my project but I didn’t know where to start. I felt lost and stuck. I wanted to be independent financially and be "the best version of myself". The first session was like a deep breath and opened up my possibilities. I realized there were many ways to get what I wanted and that the first step was way closer than I expected. I felt safe and understood with Murielle. Now I procrastinate way less and I’m much happier. I want sessions with Murielle for life :) because coaching with her is really life changing!

“When I said yes to working with Murielle I was combining my job with my studies and my project Connected Flaws. I struggled with procrastination. Murielle helped me to uncover many things that I never saw before. She made me understand that it's okay to have a lot of ideas and want to do a lot at once. Murielle helped tremendously to get those ideas down on paper and turn them into actions and get started step-by-step! The experience was inspiring, enriching and warm. Thank you for your patience and insights!

“When I connected with Murielle I was looking for more purpose. I was at a crossroads in my career and life, wondering about the 'Is this it?' feeling. I immediately felt understood. The insight of me being a creative generalist was like coming home. So far, I’d often felt I was the odd one out. Coaching with Murielle came at the right time for me and helped me to feel less unrest and change my behavior.
Ilse Himpe (Belgium)

“When I first met Murielle I felt completely stuck. What attracted me was her experience with (relational) trauma and its impact on her professional functioning. I love how I was given permission that liking or enjoying something is an important indicator in my search for my next professional adventure. Coaching with Murielle was supportive and enlightening. I loved Murielle’s involvement and I felt really supported!
