Hey Reader, Ever have those nights where you sleep for, like, five minutes, and then an idea pops into your head and keeps you awake? Last night was one of those nights for me. And today? Today, I’ve been reflecting on how important my clients and community (hint: that’s you!) are to me and how much I cherish our deeper connections. This is what brings magic to what I do and keeps me feeling excited about my life as a coach. This also got me thinking about what makes me a better coach and sets me apart from others. And you know what? The biggest thing I keep coming back to is curiosity. When I went through my coaching course, we were taught that curiosity was one of the core principles of great coaching. Staying curious during sessions with my clients always leads us to unexpected places and helps them uncover amazing insights and “aha!” moments. And it’s not just in coaching where curiosity works its magic. I’ve found that bringing this sense of wonder into my personal life makes a huge difference, too. Whether I’m getting worked up over a confusing email or noticing that I’m not taking care of myself like I usually do, staying curious helps me be gentler with myself. It opens up space for exploration and experimentation, and I get to figure out what works and what doesn’t. So, if you were to ask me what my "secret sauce" is, I think that would be it. What’s your secret sauce, Reader? Hit reply and share! Cheers, Michelle xx |

Hey there, Reader! It's been a minute, hasn’t it? How have you been doing? I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by. Seriously, it feels like I blinked, and suddenly, the cooler weather is creeping in. I find myself daydreaming about all things winter - cozy blankets and hot chocolate which is wild, right? And it seems like I’m not the only one thinking about the holidays early this year—I was in Costco the other day, and guess what? Holiday stuff was on full display front and...
Hey Reader, If I could listen to your thoughts right now, what do you think I’d hear? Living with ADHD can make it ridiculously easy to beat ourselves up for not fitting in, not being "normal," and a whole lot of other stuff. If you could peek into my brain, you’d definitely hear a whole lot of self-criticism and some not-so-flattering chatter happening at full volume. Isn’t it wild how quickly our brains can jump to that self-judgment? If your mind is anything like mine, just remember:...
Hey Reader, I hope this email finds you in a good place—or at least a place where you've been able to find moments of peace amidst the end of summer/beginning of September chaos. For me, it's been a week of holidays, getting super sick and just feeling overwhelmed by all the things that I scheduled out for myself in the Fall and worrying that I've overcommitted myself. Is it just me? So, suffice it to say that lately, I've been feeling all the ADHD things and just sitting in them feeling...
