To the rhythm of life
In the year of her 50th birthday, Marie-Claude felt the need to take stock of her life. She did so by assigning a theme to each decade. This conference enables the audience to take a step back from their own lives.
With sincerity and a touch of humor, she tells her story: For a long time, I lived as if tomorrow didn't exist. I was always in search of freedom. One day, I realized that life imposes its own rhythm. You can decide not to follow it, or like me, you can choose to sail to the rhythm of the waves. There are stormy periods, periods of calm and moments of wonder. Sharing your life with another person, becoming a parent, illness, bereavement, work, the weight of responsibilities often take us off course from our aspirations. We make decisions not just for ourselves, but for those we love. How can we avoid losing ourselves and retain our own essence? Over the years, I've asked myself so many questions about the meaning of life. Now I want to share what I've learned.

Biography of Marie-Claude Barrette
hostcommitted woman, author, speaker and producer Marie-Claude Barrette is curious by nature, interested in everything, and the common thread running through her life is people. For her, there are no limits to human relationships.
That's probably why she became interested in politics at such an early age: she wanted to change things to improve people's lives.
The well-being of others is the driving force behind everything she does.
When asked where she comes from, it's very difficult to answer... she changed schools fourteen times, just in elementary school. This somewhat bohemian lifestyle has enabled her to discover Quebec and Quebecers. Throughout her twenty years in politics, Marie-Claude Barrette studied economics, but never worked in the field. Instead, she opted for the cultural milieu. She held the position of fundraising manager for the Musée du Bas-St-Laurent and general manager of the École de musique de Rivière-du-Loup. Returning to the Montreal area after living in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region for almost fourteen years, she reoriented her career. She was offered the chance to work in television, something she had never thought about before.
Marie-Claude's strength of character, authenticity and, above all, relevance have earned her a special place in the Quebec media world.
