Headwind

How can life’s challenges become stepping stones to success? Julie grew up in a difficult environment, marked by a childhood where her mother, struggling with her own battles, was not always able to provide a stable foundation. Yet, instead of falling, she chose to rise, push herself beyond limits, and carve her own path.

Raised in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Longueuil, she quickly learned to turn obstacles into opportunities. Her passion for mountain biking, discovered during her adolescence, became a metaphor for her life: each tough climb prepared her for personal and professional victories.

From her beginnings as a young journalist at Radio-Canada to her bold decision to start over at TVA, Julie turned the headwinds of her past into a driving force. Inspired by the lessons learned from her childhood and the courage it took to move forward, she proves that hardships don’t define us—they can propel us forward.

A meeting that reminds us that sometimes, it’s the most fragile roots that give rise to the most beautiful successes.

About Julie Marcoux

Julie Marcoux has been a journalist for 25 years. Initially at Radio-Canada, she is now the news anchor at TVA. Present at major news events, Julie has had an unconventional life journey. After a challenging childhood with her mother, she moved to live with her father at the age of 11. Faced with recession and financial difficulties, she learned early on to become self-sufficient and discovered mountain biking. This was a true revelation that led her to meet her best friends and, most importantly, helped her build self-confidence by becoming the Canadian junior champion and the Quebec senior champion.

Committed to various social causes, Julie Marcoux is involved in the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie, the ACEQ (Association of Cancer of Eastern Quebec), and the Maison Au Diapason, a palliative care facility in Bromont.

After several unsuccessful attempts, she became a mother at the age of 41 to a 6-year-old boy today. Both in her personal and professional life, Julie has had to face headwinds more often than not, navigating the improbable path of a determined and authentic woman.
