About Francoise Maricle:

Francoise Maricle was born two months premature in a Japanese internment camp in Indonesia during World War II. After the war, her family left the tropics they loved to return to a cold, overcrowded Netherlands, where they were met with indifference by the European Dutch. Seeking peace and belonging, Francoise eventually met her husband in Germany and later immigrated to the United States-where she found gratitude and healing. As a counselor supporting women in abusive relationships, Francoise discovered that sharing her own story created powerful connections. When women heard what she had endured, they became more open to facing their own challenges. Over time, she began speaking publicly about her life and was interviewed on both public radio and television. Writing her memoir took fifteen years, as long-buried emotions emerged in the process. Francoise now lives in Arizona, where the wide-open skies and warm climate offer the sense of freedom and peace she always longed for.
 

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Francoise Maricle discuss:

• Surviving internment camps in Indonesia
• Overcoming childhood limitations and doubts
• Pursuing dreams despite obstacles
• Importance of having a supportive partner
• Maintaining dreams and goals at any age
   

Key Takeaways:

• Dreams are ageless and powerful, as seen in Francoise, 83, who still continues to pursue adventures like ziplining and traveling, proving that aspirations have no expiration date.
• When others told her she couldn’t succeed, Francoise listened to her inner voice and became a psychologist with a master’s degree.
• Supportive relationships can transform personal limitations. 
• Francoise’s survival in Japanese internment camps and subsequent displacement became the foundation for her determination to pursue her goals.
• By starting with modest aspirations like learning to drive, Francoise gradually built a life of adventure, education, and personal empowerment.
   

“I only have 17 more years to be 100 years old, and I have so many dreams on my bucket list. I got to have 17 more years in my life, so I just keep trying.” — Francoise Maricle
