Every January, we’re encouraged to set bigger goals, try harder, and finally become who we think we should be. And yet… year after year, many of us end up exhausted, discouraged, and starting over.

In this short episode, we explore why New Year’s resolutions so often set us up for failure and how intention offers a more sustainable, humane path forward. Instead of chasing massive goals, we talk about using intention as our navigation system and celebrating meaningful milestones as stepping stones toward real change.

This isn’t about doing more or being better.

It’s about moving forward with clarity, honesty, and self-trust… one step at a time.

“Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw. It’s advanced perception.”

Society didn’t break you. It taught you to mistrust the very traits that make you perceptive, intuitive, and deeply attuned. In this episode of Soul Sage Conversations, Michelle speaks directly to the ones who feel everything, notice everything, and spent far too long apologizing for it.

This conversation is for the highly sensitive, the empaths, the pattern readers, and the ones who walk into a room and instantly know what’s happening beneath the surface. If you’ve ever been labeled “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” or “too much,” this episode reframes that narrative with both science and soul.

Michelle explores why sensitivity is not weakness but advanced perception… rooted in nervous system intelligence, emotional awareness, and intuitive pattern recognition. She unpacks how society conditions the most emotionally intelligent people to shrink, tone it down, and second-guess themselves, and why that conditioning is finally losing its grip.

You’ll be guided through grounding practices and practical tools for energetic boundaries, emotional ownership, and pattern disruption, alongside a powerful reclamation of your intuition as a leadership trait, not a liability.

You were never meant to dull your edge.

You were never meant to blend in.

You were meant to see clearly and live expanded.

If you’ve been dimming yourself to stay safe in a world that feels half asleep, this episode is an invitation to call your power back… piece by piece, breath by breath.

“There’s a difference between being informed and being inflamed.”

Every year carries a quiet theme… not a resolution or a slogan, but an undercurrent that shapes how we move through the world. In this episode, Michelle shares the theme that has arrived for 2026: Protect Your Peace.

Not as avoidance. Not as spiritual bypassing. As discernment.

This episode explores what protecting your peace really looks like across real life… your nervous system, your relationships, your finances, your politics, and your body. Michelle breaks down how outrage and fear profit from constant activation, why emotionally charged content spreads faster than truth, and how clarity disappears when your peace is depleted.

You’ll hear about energy hygiene, quieter boundaries, economic calm in chaotic times, and the grief that comes with releasing old versions of the world and yourself. Protecting your peace doesn’t mean shrinking your life or disengaging from reality. It means choosing how you engage… and when.

2026 isn’t asking you to be louder.

It’s asking you to be more intentional.

More regulated.

More precise.

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, reactive, or pulled into everything all at once, this episode offers a grounded recalibration… and a reminder that peace isn’t passive. It’s powerful.

In this episode, we explore what it feels like to lose your sense of joy and connection, not through sadness, but through a quiet emotional numbness that so many people are silently carrying. Michelle talks about the “spiritual straitjacket,” the pressure to keep pretending we’re fine while the world grows heavier, more divided, and increasingly disconnected.

She reflects on a personal moment of feeling misunderstood and attacked, and how it revealed a deeper collective truth: we’re all exhausted, unseen, and longing for real connection. The episode dives into the grief underneath our “I’m fine,” the loss of community and tradition, and the way modern life has replaced genuine closeness with overwhelm, politics, and performance.

Michelle reminds us that feeling…. even when it’s heavy…. is a sign of being alive, not a weakness. As the holidays approach and old wounds surface, she offers a simple grounding practice to reconnect with yourself. The episode closes with a call to strip off the emotional armor, name what’s real, and rediscover connection in the small, honest, unfiltered moments that remain.

I didn’t go to Peru chasing enlightenment or jungle visions. I went because I needed to do something that scared the absolute hell out of me… something for me for once.

This is the raw, unfiltered story of what really happens when you sit with Ayahuasca 😳 the fear, the surrender, the unraveling 💥 and the truth that blindsides you in the best and worst way. I thought I knew what I was going there to heal… but the medicine had her own plans.

What came through wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t gentle. But it was real. And it showed me a truth I’ll never unsee; about trauma, forgiveness, and who’s really been holding the knife this whole time.

If you’ve ever wondered what Ayahuasca actually feels like… what happens when your ego finally taps out… or what it means to meet yourself in the dark… this one’s for you.

✨ Listen if you’ve ever:

• Given everything away and wondered what’s left for you

• Been terrified to face what’s really underneath

• Wanted to know what healing looks like without the “love and light” filter

• Needed a reminder that sometimes medicine doesn’t fix you… it reveals you

Meet Michelle: The Medicine, The Mess, and The Magic.

In this raw, funny, and soul-stretching episode, Michelle takes you straight into the heart of the Amazon to talk about what really happens when you sit with Ayahuasca; no filters, no fluff, no “love and light” bullshit.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you might even feel the medicine moving just by listening. Because this isn’t a story about tripping through the jungle. It’s about being stripped down to truth.

Michelle unpacks the difference between ceremony and spiritual tourism, why tradition and lineage matter, and how the jungle has zero interest in your titles, your trauma narratives, or your ego. She shares personal stories, spiritual mic drops, and a few uncomfortable laughs that will make you question everything you thought you knew about “healing.”

If you’ve ever felt the call to the jungle, or if you just need a reminder that surrender is the real superpower, this one’s for you.

Raw. Real. Reverent.

Because the jungle doesn’t fix you. It meets you.

Ok no intro music… no let’s make this “polished”… just getting right into it:
