What if the thing you’re most afraid to let go of is the very thing keeping you stuck?
In this powerful episode, transformational coach Michelle Gauthier shares her personal story of walking away from a high-achieving, burnout-fueled life to rebuild from the inside out. We talk about how to tune into your body’s whispers before they become screams, release perfectionism, reclaim joy, and live a life that feels as good as it looks.
