Welcome to the show "Holistic Being and Doing" on World Radio Paris. I am Eileen Jackson. In this episode, I have the pleasure of meeting with Cécile LENEVEU at the Holiste Ateliers shop located at 29 Bd Henri IV in the 4th arrondissement where we are sitting right now. Holiste offers the possibility to do an oxygen therapy that promotes better breathing as it helps to stimulate the assimilation of oxygen in the cells. Cécile LENEVEU, who runs the Holiste Ateliers is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and teacher coming from a background in theatre arts, circus, dance and performance that allowed her to cultivate a sense of corporeality and its importance for well-being. You can drop in for a short oxygen therapy session and relax in the café corner. There are workshops on breathwork, yoga, sonotherapy, Feldenkrais and others. Today, I am delighted to speak with Cécile Leneveu about the origin of Bol d’Air Jacquier and the holistic spirit of this unique space.

Mayonnaise is the world's most popular sauce, but nobody agrees on who invented it. This episode traces the history of mayonnaise from a Spanish port battle to a Paris pharmacist's ointment. Caroline and Emily examine the competing French origin stories, the codification of the sauce by Antonin Careme's critics, and how mustard, eggs, and oil became the modern formula loved and hated worldwide.

Financial struggle, hidden loneliness and the courage to ask for help. Monaco is one of the wealthiest places on earth. It is also one of the loneliest places to run out of money. Gabrielle Achilleos knows both sides of that truth and she is talking about it here for the first time. Born in Grasse, Gabrielle returned to the French Riviera at seventeen, with no plan and no contacts, in a caravan with chickens and a wolfhound. She built a property business, lost it in the 2009 crash, met her husband Russell at the Monaco Yacht Show, and moved to Monaco. For years, life was full. She co-founded a charity that has supported fifty orphan children in Uganda for over a decade. She went through five rounds of IVF. She ran fundraising events, built a network, and devoted herself entirely to work that mattered. Then her husband lost his job. COVID arrived. And Gabrielle found herself struggling to make ends meet in one of the most expensive postcodes in the world -while fifty children in Uganda were still counting on her to pay their medical bills. Gabrielle then worked five jobs at the same time: tutoring French, doing admin, managing a villa renovation, childcare, running the charity. She kept the banknotes in an old glass jar on the kitchen counter. She walked barefoot on the sand at Larvotto beach because it was free. She dealt with shame and guilt and the particular loneliness of struggling in a place where nobody admits to struggling. She then rebuilt. A discovery during COVID lockdown led her to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. She trained as a certified integrative health coach, specialising in emotional eating, nutrition and holistic stress management. She launched Gabrielle's Zest 4 Life. She found work she loves. Her nervous system, she says, has been allowed to relax. This conversation is one of the most honest I have recorded on this podcast. Gabrielle does not perform resilience. She just tells you what happened.
