🔥The power within the pain🔥
If you’ve ever battled your inner critic, you need to watch this!!

Sometimes it’s not just a thought, it’s a version of you that is reactivated and is ready to be heard.

This week, one of mine came flooding back. A deep core wound laced in wisdom.

The reality is that these wounds live within all of us.

🔥 It almost killed me 🔥
Not a conspiracy. Not a theory. This is my truth.

Here is the story behind my Vaccine Injury.

My body has never been the same and I live with the impacts every single day but the power now lies in transmuting the wisdom that’s been forged through the scars because when we give voice to what hurt us and use it to reclaim our power, we give others permission to heal too.

Watch the video below to hear a very small part of my story.

Because silence serves no one.

🐾 “Can you ‘please’ just take my dog and look after them?” 🙏🐾

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard that plea being whispered with hope, trust, and sometimes, a touch of desperation.

Well… I listened. And now I’ve created an exclusive service that is exactly what your heart (and your dog) has been asking for.

Introducing: ✨ PET NANNY - The LUXE experience ✨

A first-class, tailor-made day retreat for the most ADORED companions where Play, ADVENTURE, Relaxation, and CONNECTION come together to nourish their mind, body, and soul.

My boy Diesel, was my greatest teacher.
Becoming his seeing eye person wasn’t just a role I stepped into - it was the honour of a lifetime.

Through him, I developed an elite skillset that sets true care apart - the ability to notice the 1% and see what most people miss.

It sharpened my sensitivity to the tiniest signals, the subtlest shifts, and the deepest energetic needs - a level of connection, care, and presence that changed me forever.

The Pet Nanny LUXE experience is perfect for:

💎 The gentle soul who loves to be adored

💎 The senior citizens who have earned their stripes and love to lap up the attention

💎 The ones who are ready to experience MORE joy and LESS alone time while you go to work or take yet, another Zoom call.

Each session is a curated blend of play, adventure, relaxation, and connection by someone who has worked professionally with animals in the behaviour, training, veterinary and rehabilitation sectors for 2 decades.

And with only two dogs per session, this is exclusive, intimate and highly personalised.

Let’s be clear:

🙅🏻‍♀️ This is NOT a standard service or overnight accommodation.

🙅🏻‍♀️ If you’re looking for the cheapest dog walker in town…
I’m not your girl.

🙅🏻‍♀️ If your dog has no manners and you’re after convenience over quality…
Keep scrolling.

BUT….

🩷 If you value EXPERIENCE, HIGH quality care, and EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY…

🩷 If your dog is your world, and you want them to be treated like the royalty they are…

🩷 If you're ready to give them the joy, love, and presence they so deeply deserve…

Lets connect and see if your dog’s ready to live their best life

I cry. A lot. 😢

Not because I’m “too emotional.”
Not because I’m weak.
But because my body is wise enough to release what it was never meant to hold.

Suppressing your emotions is NOT strength.

It’s survival.
It’s conditioning.
It’s a nervous system crying out for help.
And it’s killing your power.

I see it everywhere.

The woman who prides herself on being ‘busy’ but is secretly exhausted.

The one who says she doesn’t care what people think - yet still shrinks to fit in.

The high-achiever who’s so focused on proving her worth, she doesn’t even know who she is anymore.

They call it resilience.
I call it a CAGE.

I’ve spent years working with animals, and they’ve taught me more about being human than any book, mentor, or course ever could.

A dog pacing in circles… frustration trapped in its body.
An elephant swaying in captivity… soul crushed longing for connection.
A cat lashing out attacking its owner… instincts stifled.

And humans? We do the same.

You bottle it up.
You keep pushing through.
You call it “strength” while your body begs for release.

And then you wonder why you feel so disconnected from your purpose, from your life, from yourself.

You think you’re in control but if you don’t know how to release what your body is carrying, you are being controlled.

Animals however… they are so much smarter than us, naturally, they don’t hold onto what doesn’t serve them.

When they feel tension, they shake it out. Instantly.
No guilt, no shame, no overthinking.
They release, they move on, free and unburdened.

🐕🦜🐈🐘🦧🦭🐅🐩🐎🦆

So yeah, I cry.

I cry when my body asks me to.
I shake off anger before it turns to stone inside me.
I let the rage move through me when it rises.
I refuse to allow my emotions to build up and instead I let them move through me
because THAT is power.

I know that my power doesn’t live in ‘holding it together.’
It lives in allowing, releasing, and reclaiming my FULL expression.

Whilst the world taught you to suppress. Your body knows better.

Have you ever noticed how your body holds onto things - frustration, tension, emotions?

What’s something you do to allow yourself to release just like animals do?

You Can’t Put Me in a Box - So Stop Trying. 📦

These are the words I said to myself last week as I realised I was playing out an old strategy yet again.

For years, I tried to pick a lane.
Tried to water down my talents into something digestible.
Tried to be just one thing because that’s what the world told me to do.

👉 "Find your niche."
👉 "Pick your passion."
👉 "Stay in your lane."

But I was never meant to fit neatly into a box. And if you’re reading this, neither were you.

I know what it feels like to be frozen by expectation.
To hold yourself back because you’re worried people won’t “get it.”
To feel like you’re failing because you don’t want to do it their way.

But here’s the truth: YOUR MAGIC IS IN THE MESS!

The messy ideas.
The unfinished projects.
The wild, heart-led pivots that make no sense to anyone but you.

You don’t need permission to be multi-passionate.
You don’t have to explain why you’re drawn to a thousand different things.
You don’t have to prove your worth by staying in a lane that suffocates your soul.
You are allowed to be ALL of you.

One day, you’re weaving plans with precision.
The next, your channeling wisdom from the stars.
Both are magic. Both are powerful. Both are YOU.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to stop shrinking… consider this it.

We were never meant to fit inside their lines, so stop tolerating your inaction.

Who else is done playing by the rules?

I want to know what box you have had enough of and are ready to set on fire… 📦 🔥

🐢 Slow and steady wins the race… for me. 🐢

Let me explain.

We are all exquisitely unique. Yet, so many people spend a lifetime trying to force themselves into a mould that was never meant for them - lost in comparison, doubting their pace, and wondering if they’re falling behind.

I know this feeling intimately.

For years, I watched those around me and fellow entrepreneurs move at lightning speed while I felt like I was still lacing up my shoes at the starting line. I made it mean something about me - that I wasn’t smart enough, fast enough, charismatic enough. That I wasn’t enough.

The unspoken judgment - whether real or imagined - echoed in my mind. Doubt took the wheel and did a few victory laps at my expense.

But then I learned something that changed everything.

In Human Design, there are five energy types and I was surrounded by Manifesting Generators who are built for speed, multitasking, and rapid ex*****on. My type however is a Generator. A slow, steady, methodical builder.

My pace is different.
My process is different.
My power is different.

So, it was with that realisation that a deeper truth landed - not just intellectually, but in my bones. And just like anything, knowing it, isn’t enough. We need to embody it if we want it to release its hold on us.

So, in true Michelle style as I always do, I turned to the wisdom of the animals and what I saw shifted everything. Because beyond their lack of comparison, beyond their instinctual way of just being - they hold ancient codes of wisdom.

Why is the elephant revered as one of the most powerful beings on this planet?

🐘 It doesn’t stalk its prey with stealth.
🐘 It doesn’t pivot and adapt at lightning speed.
🐘 It doesn’t move fast (although if you’ve ever seen an elephant charge, you know they are NOT to be underestimated- believe me I almost s**t my pants the first time I found myself in their path).

And yet, they are undeniable.
Intentional.
Grounded.
Majestic.
Unshakable.

They hold an energy of safety, devotion, and deep presence. And that… is power!
And so, I claimed my own.

I embraced that I am the elephant. My slowness is not a flaw - it is my gift. It brings with it safety. Stability. Strength.

When I trust my own rhythm, I stand tall in my boundaries, my worth, my truth.

When I stop trying to match the pace of others, I remember that my way of moving through the world is revered. It is powerful.

This is my superpower and im here for all of it.

So now, I ask you - what animal represents your truth?
Which one stirs something deep inside you?
Drop an animal emoji below and tell me what it represents for you!

The Sister Wound Runs Deep 🥀

She has been burned, betrayed, silenced.
She has shrunk, shape-shifted, swallowed her truth
All in the name of survival.

She calls it independence,
But beneath the armour is a wound,
Etched into the bones of generations before her.

She is the woman who stands alone,
Not because she wants to,
But because somewhere along the way,
Sisterhood became unsafe and a battlefield instead of a sanctuary.

It plays out in whispers behind her back,
In the unspoken rules of the group chat,
In the forced laugh that covers the sting of being misunderstood,
In the exclusion of the very people who are meant to love her.

She has sat in circles that felt like cages,
Nodding along to conversations that left her hollow,
Shrinking her light just to belong,
Dimming her magic so she wouldn’t be "too woo woo."

But she is remembering now.
She is unraveling the old stories,
Finding safety and weaving a new spell of connection,
Summoning the priestess within.

Because true sisterhood is not a place of unspoken judgement and competition
It is a sacred homecoming.

A space where your magic is met with reverence,
Your sensitivity is seen as power,
And your voice - wild and unfiltered,
Is welcomed, not silenced.

It’s time to mend the wounds and rise together

Have you ever felt the sister wound?

✨ Choose your own adventure - Not reap your own hell ☠️

Remember the choose your own adventure books from childhood.
The ones that made your heart race as you flipped each page, letting the magic unfold?

They were so exciting and so much FUN and reminded us that every choice shaped our story.

Now imagine, if you gave yourself permission to live life like that. How much more freeing it would be?

The reality is that it doesn’t matter where on the path you are, EVERY ‘next step’ you take is simply a figment of your imagination and your making it up.

There is no right path, there is only ‘A’ path.

And yet, somewhere along the way, we convinced ourselves that if we don’t choose the ‘right’ one we are less than.

Who can relate⁉️

We forgot that life works the same way.
That we are the authors, not just the characters.

So tell me,
Who told you that you had to get it right?
Who decided there was a wrong path?

Instead of creating magic, too many are stuck in a different game -
One of hesitation, overthinking, and fear.
One where every “next step” feels like a looming cloud of failure waiting to pour down on you.

No one hands you a choose your own destruction manual,
Yet somehow we turn life into one.

We grip so tightly to the right next step, the perfect choice,
That we strip the joy from the journey before it even begins.

So what if your next ‘up level’ wasn’t about grinding, proving, or striving
Instead it was about creating deeper trust and safety within yourself? 🫶🏼

What if it was building the muscle of only being available for those that believe in you regardless of whether they understand you. 💪🏼

Would you refuse shrinking for those who cannot hold your light? ✨

Would you be willing to embrace the discomfort and meet your edges with courage so that you can experience the adventure waiting on the next page? 📖

Or would you close the book, still burning with curiosity about the next page - Only to turn back to the familiar kaleidoscope of blame, helplessness, avoidance,
Waiting for someone or something else to hand you happiness?

This journey is not about making the perfect choice, its about embracing your imagination and just giving it a go.

You are the one holding the pen.
The story is yours to write.
What magic are you creating?

Because, spoiler alert, at the end of the day none of it really matters, it’s all just make believe swirling around in our egoic minds.

Somewhere along the line we got so dam serious and significant in our own story that we forgot we can sit down and open our book whenever we want to and choose our own adventure all over again.

Drop a 💗 in the comments if your excited and ready to turn the next page.
