Watch the EpisodeIn this episode of Notes from the Sanctuary, Paola and VĂ©ronique finally introduce themselves (properly this time!) and open the door to two foundational practices for a gentler life: setting intentions without pressure and cultivating everyday gratitude.
We explore what it means to begin again with softness, how to notice glimmers in the middle of ordinary days, and why gratitude is less about performance and more about presence. Along the way, we talk about creativity, self‑kindness, and the messy, very human process of growing at your own pace.
This conversation is warm, honest, and full of tiny moments that feel like exhaling.

Véronique is the founder and creator of Sanctuary of Wings, a space born from her search for peace after years of chaos. In 2023, her daughter’s diagnosis with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma reshaped her life. Through that journey she discovered the power of calm — lessons she continues to integrate into her own path. Two years later, caring for birds who had endured hardship yet slowly learned to fly became another living metaphor for renewal, reminding her that healing is a shared process of learning to spread our wings again.
Sanctuary of Wings is her dream, but not a finished destination — it is a journey she is still on, and one she hopes to share with others. Through journals, podcasts, and creative tools, Véronique opens space for collective reflection, where each person can bring their own experiences and together discover new ways of finding balance.
Her invitation is simple: to join her in seeking peace. Whether through daily rituals, creative expression, or shared conversation, Sanctuary of Wings is a place where we guide each other, gently and at our own pace.
