I'm going first.

I'm Céline. Forty-five, French, and currently rebuilding my job, my body, and my comfort zone, all at the same time, in public, with the real numbers included.

In September 2025 I left a corporate job I'd fought hard to get. Before that: ten years as a scrapbook teacher and speaker, workshops and conferences in more than 40 countries, a book, a print magazine I ran myself. Then a chapter in network marketing with Young Living, European top performance, if that means anything to you. Then the corporate detour. Then the decision to stop.

Healthy Wealthy Céline isn't the story of any of that ending well. It's what's happening now, this week, this month, as I try to build something that pays, without pretending the version of me who's scared to check her bank account doesn't exist.

Three threads, tangled together on purpose: the work (the side hustle, the pitches, the tools I'm testing and the ones I've dropped), the mindset (the imposter syndrome that doesn't care that I'm 45, the journals I use to decide instead of just decorate), and the body (the slow, unglamorous weight loss, whatever perimenopause decides to do to my energy that day).

I'm not coaching you from two decades ahead. I'm maybe two steps ahead, most days unsure if they were the right ones.

If you've got a fire you've been postponing (the side hustle you've been "going to start" since 2020, the body you stopped recognizing somewhere around 42, the version of yourself you can still feel under everything you've been doing for everyone else) : you're in the right place.

If your loved ones don't get it. If you've been waiting for someone to go first. If you're tired of being told it's never too late by people who haven't actually started over.

Come along. I'm going first.

The receipts are public. The carnet is open. The next page is being written this week.
