I've connected with such incredible humans through this community-each with such a beautiful offering, and a deep story of growth. As a community, we can support and learn more about one another by connecting and aligning in language and transparency. I would love to open the floor and learn about what you do, what you're working towards, and what your offering is. To begin, let me introduce my practice: I created The Ancient Dance on my return from Peru and my initiation into Shamanism. The intention behind this practice is to remind individuals of their light (their power) and guide them back to their authenticity. We do this through 1:1 online sessions, and programs uniquely designed to meet their needs. The idea here is to let go of any self-limiting beliefs, move through any trauma that is hindering growth and transformation, and return to the self through mind, body, and spirit realignment. This is my medicine, my service, and my greatest honour. Please share your work and let's connect x With love and reverence, Michaela

I read this article that spoke into the 'Black Coffee Theory'. Across workplaces and personal growth journeys, there’s a simple, yet revealing pattern: people often describe their goals through avoidance. They say what they don’t want: “I don’t want burnout,” “I don’t want uncertainty,” “I don’t want to feel stuck.” This is where the Black Coffee Theory comes in. Imagine someone walks into a café and repeatedly tells the barista, “I don’t want black coffee.” The barista, hearing nothing else, remembers only that. And chances are, black coffee is exactly what ends up at the table. When we fixate on what we’re trying to escape from, our energy, choices, and mindset stay anchored to that very outcome. Avoidance feels like clarity, but it’s actually directionless. Even Einstein’s insight applies here: problems can’t be solved from the same level of thinking that created them. If the focus is only on frustration, scarcity, or fear, those patterns quietly repeat themselves. But when we shift towards defining what we do want like growth, stability, creativity, abundance, our internal compass realigns. Our decisions sharpen. Our opportunities expand. Progress becomes possible the moment we stops ordering life by saying “not this,” and starts asking for what we truly want. Here's your opportunity-share what you WANT and let's manifest your greatest dream together!

Finding a balance between life and work can be tricky. The scale often leans more towards work and we are left with very little energy for ourselves and our loved ones. I have spent the last month soaking up the magic of this life and actually got MARRIED!! Now, as I officially begin my work year, I have two main objectives: 1) Finish what I started 2) Let go of what isn't working We tend to overwhelm ourselves with what needs to be done, writing to-do lists that never get done, putting too much on ourselves because we want to 'be better', or 'get it done faster'. The truth is, we only have 24 hours in a day. Within those 24 hours, approximately 8-10 hours are dedicated to 'the grind'. I currently have three on-going projects, and sometimes fitting them all into one day only has me scratching the surface of each. So where to start? I'm starting this year off by reflecting on how my last year went, and creating a clear intention for what I would like this year to look like. Setting up weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals so that I do not overwhelm myself by trying to have it all done at once. We work so that we can enjoy our life, this is just a gentle reminder that what you do becomes a large part of your life. Just don't ever let it take over. Wishing you all a year of success, opportunity, and abundance!! How are you starting your year?

From 0 to 79 in 3 months and from 79 to 105 in 3 days! Found a pro in Facebook Ads and it skyrocketed the amount of signups for my community! More new members in 3 days than the entirety of Januari all together for a couple of bucks! If this keeps up I'm at 1000 in 90 days & I see no reason for it slowing down in fact, it's only gonna get better from here. Want to thank everyone here who supported me on the journey so far ❤️

How much have you ticked off your to-do list today? How many tabs do you have open on your computer right now? How long have those tabs been open? ADD is a super power if given the chance. Being able to jump from topics, answer on-the-spot questions, even work on multiple projects, that's INSANE! It is not for you to feel shame or hide behind a familiar response pattern that has helped you make sense of your reality. Gabor Mate speaks about ADD as a trauma response to dissociation in childhood (paraphrasing here). The point being, you do not have a disorder, you have a super power, and it's important that you see yourself in that light. Starting with closing your tabs today.
