Michelle spent years working in government programs, helping others get back on their feet—but beneath the surface, she was quietly navigating her own healing. In this episode, she shares her powerful story of awakening, burnout, and the courageous decision to leave behind structure, salary, and certainty to follow her soul’s true calling.

This isn’t just about changing careers—it’s about healing your inner world, confronting fear, regulating your nervous system, and learning how to trust yourself deeply enough to lead others. Michelle’s journey is a powerful reminder that your lived experience is not a weakness—it’s your medicine.

🎙️ Inside this episode:

• Why healing is the real foundation for a soul-led career
• The nervous system’s role in manifestation, burnout, and holding success
• How to move from ego-driven “doing” into heart-led “being”
• What to expect during the dark night of the soul—and how to keep going
• Why your story is the key to your purpose

🎧 Tune in if you’re longing to leave behind a career that no longer fits, but feel overwhelmed, unworthy, or unsure how to start. This conversation is a reminder that it’s okay to be messy, uncertain, and still worthy of a life that lights you up.
