Breakthrough the Ordinary The Importance of Self-Care in Creating Balance and Harmony in Your Life
Do you find yourself complaining about stress too often that it has become a part of the conversations in your head?
Do you stress over the usual traffic, nooks, and crannies in the house that never get cleaned, to-do lists that never get done, the pile of workload in the office, or the inbox that never gets emptied? All these add up.
Here’s the question - When was the last time you squeezed in a coffee date, a spa session, reconnected with a friend, bonded with the family while really being present without having to care an ounce about duties? These are much-needed breathers.
If you did, congrats for being present in the moment! If you haven’t -here’s another question. Are you really stressed? Or you have totally skipped making time for yourself? Are you too absorbed with meeting the success metrics and think you have an unlimited energy supply?
Stress comes in different forms nowadays, and one that really equates to it closely is the lack of self-care. Doing things excessively at the expense of your energy is a dangerous thing.
Maybe it’s time to pause and think of what is really necessary at the moment. Are we really stressed or just out of tune with your needs?
In this episode, Marc and Claudine give us a different perspective on stress and ideas on how to create that space for self-care so we can fill up our cups, and act more responsibly for our own well-being. Because when our cup is full, only then can we care for others.

Marc is a sought-after international coach, facilitator for Transforming Cellular Memory, Tantric Practitioner, and an entrepreneur who guides individuals, groups, and couples in achieving intimacy, alignment, and confidence. He is also an entrepreneur and co-host of the podcast, Breakthrough the Ordinary.
Marc expresses his unique gifts by creating safe spaces for healing and transformation, utilizing curiosity and adventure to fuel his vision of healing the world.
As a child living in a chaotic, unsafe environment, Marc buried his sensitivity which led to disconnection, shame, objectification of women, and a denial of his authentic truth. His relationships reflected the lack of deep intimate love, choosing unaligned partners, and hiding his deep insecurities.
His journey to wholeness started with heartbreak. Psychotherapy helped him uncover and heal the deep wounds of his childhood. He has participated, trained, and been certified in various modalities such as Psychodrama (group dynamics), Deep Cellular transformation, Tantra (sacred sexuality), Inner child and shadow work, Breathwork, Leadership Development, and Integration.
