I shared at the beginning of 2024 that I was going to go back to Australia, my home country, for the first time in almost five years. The pandemic made going back challenging but when borders opened back up and I still found excuses to not return I realised I was in a pattern of deep avoidance. At the same time I had spent several years on a quest to find home but continued finding reasons why every city I spent time in couln’t be “it” for me. Enter: Michelle the Medium. A P...

In this episode, I explore the tension between purpose and career. For years, I believed that success meant turning my passion into my paycheck, but over time, I found this approach more limiting than liberating. I’m breaking down why the “do what you love” narrative can set us up for frustration, and how I’ve shifted my focus toward creating a life where purpose and career don’t have to be the same thing. We’ll cover: The risks of tying your purpose to your careerWhy finding fulfillmen...

In this episode, I’m talking about why I chose to start over instead of pivoting to something new. Coming back from a sabbatical, I realized that most of the pain I felt came from my niche and was getting in the way of my creative self-expression. Pivoting my subject matter—whether it’s relationships, philosophy, or kink—wasn’t going to solve the root problem. I don’t want to be an expert where people associate me with just one thing, and I don’t want my online identity and persona to be defi...

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of meaningful work, what happens when you no longer feel connected or aligned to what you’re doing, when your motivation just… extinguishes.

We’ll also explore the systemic issues behind our sh...

Ultimately, this wasn’t the easiest decision, but through this process, I realized the importance of aligning with my values. There were moments along the way when it became crystal clear that my business was no longer what I wanted and along with that came the proces...

By December 2023, my online course business had made just shy of $4M since I launched it in December of 2019. I took a 4.5 month sabbatical to focus on writing my book, and resolving my health issues. During that break, I decided I needed to archive all of my previous work. I held a closing down sale for The Human Design For Business brand and decided to start all over again. When I announced the shut down, it was largely met with praise and shock. I received a few messaged from people ...
