Dare to Care with Michelle

One of my favorite moments was when Jessica said: 💜 "Your worth is not...

This isn't about weight loss. This isn't about g...

Somewhere along the way, many women learned to trust everyone else's voice more than their own. It doesn't happen overnight. It happens one small decision at a time. A haircut. An outfit. A relationship. A career move. A dream that never gets pursued because someone else didn't approve. In this episode of the Remembering Her series, Michelle explores how women are conditioned to seek p...

Somewhere between being a little girl and becoming a woman, many of us learn to seek appro...

It’s Thankful Thursday, and this week we’re focused on one powerful word: nourish. And yes—when life is loud, messy, and overwhelming, gratitude can feel far away. But sometimes the most nourishing thing you can do… is to pause, be present, and thank yourself. Not for being perfect. Not for doing it all. But for simply showing up again. Still breathing. Still trying. Still loving through it all....

This week, we’re talking all about nourishment —and today, I want to talk about something that quietly steals it from us: the “shoulda.” “I shoulda worked out.” “I shoulda said yes.” “I shoulda been more disciplined.” We’ve all been there. But those “shoulda” thoughts? They don’t serve your wellness. They’re rooted in guilt, shame, and pressure to perform. And they disconnect you from what you act...

Carly gave me that look… “Ma’am… where is the crunch?” 😂 And it hit me—how often do we do the...
