Linda Eskay is a writer, speaker, and advocate for emotionally safe childhoods, nervous system-aware parenting, and relational human development. Her work sits at the intersection of parenting, emotional health, identity formation, nervous system science, and the long-term psychological impact of modern achievement culture on children and families. Her work is upstream from traditional anxiety management. Rather than focusing solely on behavior modification or symptom management, she helps parents understand behavior as communication — often revealing dysregulation, unmet emotional needs, or nervous system overwhelm underneath. Through a more relational and individualized lens, she invites families to move beyond performance-based parenting and toward emotional attunement, emotional safety, and deeper connection. At the heart of her work is the belief that children who feel safe being who they are are far less likely to spend adulthood recovering from who they had to become. Her writing explores how emotional safety inside childhood shapes identity, resilience, self-trust, emotional regulation, relationships, and the ability to move through life with a grounded sense of self. Known for her thoughtful, grounded, and highly observational approach, Linda challenges one-size-fits-all parenting models and invites families into a more emotionally intelligent and nervous system-conscious way of raising children. Her work frequently explores themes such as generational anxiety, perfectionism, emotional safety in the home, achievement culture, nervous system regulation, and the hidden emotional inheritance passed through family systems. Through essays, speaking, and thought leadership, she is helping shape a larger cultural conversation around emotionally safe homes, emotionally intact humans, and what children — and ultimately all humans — actually need to thrive.

With over 20 years of experience leading organizational change in major corporate transformations, she empowers individuals and teams to find answers themselves and embrace change. Marielle de Vassoigne uses creativity to channel her own fear of change. Her coaching style is a blend of pragmatism and creativity. Relying on her background as a novelist, she helps you take the step back required to write a new chapter that will propel you forward. Also, her books draw on a personal mosaic of life experiences and reflect her definition of a rich life—full of kindness, curiosity, and exploration—with a real personal commitment to diversity and inclusion. As an author and a coach, she challenges with kindness, allowing a safe space to explore new possibilities consistent with her client’s goals and roadmaps for success. Originally from Martinique, a French Caribbean island, Marielle spent half her life in Montréal, Quebec, and some years in France. She now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. Therefore, she guides her clients through changes in their personal and professional lives in Canada's two official languages, English and French.
