Hey friend,

Can I be honest with you? I used to think that living intentionally was about doing more—more planning, more hustling, more of everything. But here’s the truth: I was completely wrong.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re living on autopilot, I want you to know—you’re not alone. I’ve been there, too. And in today’s episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about waking up to your life, breaking free from old habits, and finally starting to live with purpose.

We’ll talk about why gratitude can change everything, how to shift your focus from surviving to thriving, and what God has already equipped you with to make 2025 your best year yet.

This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about clearing the clutter and making space for what truly matters.

Grab your coffee, find a quiet spot, and let’s chat about the life you’re meant to live.

XOXO,

Michelle

📅 Don’t miss next week’s episode: We wrap up this series of building the life you want in 2025.

Hey there, friend.

Let me ask you something: Do you feel like you’ve been chasing someone else’s idea of success? Maybe it’s the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect life—but deep down, it doesn’t feel like it’s yours.

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. So many of us spend years checking all the boxes, only to realize the life we’ve built doesn’t actually fit who we are anymore. And you know what? That’s okay. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to redefine what success looks like for you—especially in this season of life.

In this episode, we’re diving into: ✨ Why so many of us fall into the trap of chasing the “Ideal Woman” that doesn’t even exist. ✨ What to do when you realize you’ve gone down the wrong path (and how to pivot without guilt). ✨ How to give yourself permission to let go of the things that no longer serve you, so you can focus on what truly matters.

I’ll also share a personal story about a tough decision I had to make recently—one that challenged me to let go of something I loved because it wasn’t aligned with where I’m headed in 2025.

Friend, it’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out. It’s about learning what feels good to YOU, what aligns with your dreams, and taking small, intentional steps forward.

📅 Don’t miss next week’s episode: We’re diving into “The Art of Living with Intention”—how to stop living on autopilot and start making choices that align with the life you want.

Hey there, beautiful!

Do you feel the pressure of New Year’s resolutions, only to find yourself burning out by February—or worse, giving up completely? Friend, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story of how reflecting on my own disappointments and lessons in 2024 helped me build a vision for 2025 that feels alive and aligned with who I am. Together, we’ll explore:

• The real reason resolutions fail—and why a vision is the key to lasting change.
• How to reflect on the wins and lessons of 2024 to uncover what truly matters to you.
• Why small, consistent steps are the secret to building a life you love.

XOXO,

Michelle

Midlife is the perfect time to reclaim your identity and show the world the amazing woman God designed you to be. You’re worth it.

Hey there beautiful!

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter—not just the stuff in your home but also the emotional baggage from old roles and responsibilities—this one’s for you. We dive into why we hang onto these things (hint: it’s often about feeling significant and secure) and how we can start to let go in a way that feels empowering, not scary.

I also walk you through a simple Role Review Exercise to honor the lessons from the past and decide what’s worth carrying forward. Plus, there’s a beautiful moment of self-celebration where you get to acknowledge how strong and resilient you’ve become. Trust me, it’s powerful.

Midlife is such a meaningful season, and simplifying your life can be an incredible act of self-love. If you’re ready to clear the fog and make space for the life you truly want, give this episode a listen. I’d love to hear what resonates with you!

XOXO,

Hey there, beautiful!

Did you know that getting a bit of sun can actually help you age gracefully? 🌞 We’ve always been told to avoid the sun, but sunlight has some surprising benefits for skin health that we can’t ignore.

In this episode, I explore the pros and cons of sun exposure, the downsides of traditional sunscreens, and non-toxic, natural ways to protect yourself without missing out on essential Vitamin D.

And here’s my favorite part: I get into my go-to after-sun care routine with products that actually help your skin bounce back, like a magic reset button (I’ve got a story for you there!).

If you’re looking for a fresh approach to skincare and anti-aging, then grab a cozy spot, and let’s dive in!

XOXO,

Michelle Rose
