The Michelle Majors Show

Happy Monday! This week’s I send a gentle reminder: You were never meant to hold it all. You were never sent here to rescue everyone. And the storm you’ve been trying to fix? It’s not even yours. We are exhausted—spiritually, emotionally, physically—often from trying to manage other people’s chaos, hold the ground steady, and “save” folks who don’t even want shelter. Stop it. This week’s message i...

This woman was about to bust my windows out and call the dog patrol— with zero context . Didn’t ask, didn’t check, just reacted. Listen. To often we will make a permanent decision based on temporary feelings and imagined stories. You saw something, sure. But you didn’t ask anything. We’ve all done it—seen a messy yard and assumed they were lazy. But maybe they’re getting evicted. Maybe they’re gri...

I sat through this movie that claimed to tell our story—as Black women. And instead, it reopened wounds that are already struggling to heal. Yes, I know some folks felt seen. Yes, I know the cycle of poverty, trauma, and survival needs to be told. But what happens when the telling hurts the people it's supposed to represent? Mr. Perry, sir...Who was this movie for? Because I walked away feeling ra...

“Try on the freedom of not caring… about the things that don’t deserve your life force.” This week, I'm thinking about the complexity of being alive. The part of us that wants to control things… and the deeper part that just wants to feel feel alive . Not numb. Not perfect. Not even ready sometimes. Just here . Just present. Just Alive. Even when it’s hard. I talked about it this week from Belize...

This week’s rant is a reminder: if all you’ve got is outrage, you might be hammering where listening would build more. I’m not here to debate values—I’m here to start with shared human needs. That’s where change can begin. No shame. No yelling. Just strategy, grace, and a better way forward. Get full access to Michelle Majors at drmajors.substack.com/subscribe

Just because they’re saying it with a straight face doesn’t mean it’s true. You know it’s a lie. But the part that spins you out—the part that keeps you tangled—is wondering if they know it’s a lie too. Spoiler: They do. Or worse, they’ve convinced themselves they don’t. Either way— don’t engage . You’re not crazy. The situation is. And the wildest thing? They need your energy to keep the cycle go...

There is something profoundly liberating about realizing you could leave — the job, the relationship, the role, the pattern. Even if you didn’t choose to then, you can now. When we revisit our past with clarity instead of shame, we shift from helplessness to ownership. Not everything that happened to us was our fault — but some of what happened was shaped by the choices we didn’t make. That’s not...

Not everyone will get your decision—and they don’t need to. This rant is for the people who’ve been waiting for “approval” that’s never coming. If you’ve ever shrunk your dreams to fit someone else’s comfort zone… yeah, we’re talking about that. Get full access to Michelle Majors at drmajors.substack.com/subscribe

There’s a version of you—somewhere in your past—who didn’t know what you know now. She stayed too long. Chose wrong. Fell apart. Held it together. Survived things you’ve never told anyone. And still… she got you here. This week, I want to invite you to do one thing: Stop looking back with shame. In fact, stop looking back. She went through all she went through for you to look ahead. Thank her for...

You don’t have to stay polite. You don’t have to “process it later.” You don’t need one more journal entry or therapy session to earn your release. You need to feel it, name it, rage if you have to—and then move on. You get to be done. You get to say, “FUCK this.”You get to reclaim your energy, your joy, your brilliance. Because that weight is costing you. Opportunities. Rest. Connection. Money. Y...

Ever look back at an old version of yourself and cringe? What if that version—the one who chose the toxic job, the messy relationship, the hard road—was actually the HERO of your story? In this video, I break down why your past self deserves more than shame… they deserve a fucking standing ovation. Because they got you HERE. And the real question is: Are you gonna waste what they survived for? If...

Toxic relationships (and toxic people) operate on a strategy—to isolate you, make you bury your pain in shame, and convince you that speaking up would be more embarrassing than enduring the nonsense. Jennifer Lewis said it best about her love/money scammer: “He though I’d be too embarrassed to tell the truth. But here’s the reality— shame and abuse survive in silence. The moment you say out loud:...

Why is it that women Black women speak their truth or protect themselves from Black men, is it seen as betrayal? A betrayal against the “culture”. Even worse, why is it that our biggest challengers are other Black Women? We’ve got to talk about this. Out loud. In truth. In love. In collaboration, not competition. Not from fear, not guilt, not obligation. But because we are human. Black women are d...

Perception says:"This is too much.""We’re losing.""Everything’s falling apart." But perspective says:"I have a role.""I know what’s mine to carry.""I trust the bigger picture, even when I can't see all of it." We’ve confused reaction for reality. Perception is instant—it’s fear, urgency, overwhelm. Perspective is cultivated—it’s clarity, rootedness, divine assignment. Whether you're a Kamala holdi...

A big part of healing is reckoning with the lie you wanted to believe. We don’t talk enough about the grief that comes from realizing someone never intended to keep their promise—not because they couldn’t, but because they never planned to. When you're someone who moves with integrity, it's a shock to learn how many people don’t. But that's where intuition steps in—the divine knowing we too often...

This week’s rant is about the movie, Sinners —those smooth-talking, soul-sucking vampires that show up with charm and chaos in equal measure. The real question isn't just, Why do they knock at my door? It’s Why do we invite them in? Why do we keep inviting in emotional vampires who drain our energy, disrupt our peace, and leave us questioning our worth? What is it about us that signals we’re open...

It's healthy to normalize the roller coaster of emotions. I think the key is to feel ALL of it. I don’t want to take this test anymore. So, I need to make sure I’m studying and getting ALL of the lessons out of this class. If I self-medicate, avoid or deny what I feel, I’m not only missing out on the wisdom and power buried within this situation, (which increases the likelihood of me having to rep...

This is a new game now. Divorce doesn’t just end a relationship — it shifts the entire playing field. But we forget that. We keep showing up with old expectations, old patterns, old wounds. And here’s where we get to choose: do we keep playing by their rules, or do we start writing our own? You don't have to match their energy. You don't have to justify, react, or defend. You get to define your ow...
