Michelle shares why she's deeply hooked on committing to yearly retreats—and how intentional pauses have become a non-negotiable part of her life and work. Through retreat experiences, she's discovered that stepping away isn't about escape; it's about clarity, alignment, creativity, and coming home to herself. Each retreat has reshaped how she leads, heals, and builds her business—proving that slowing down can actually move everything forward.
In this conversation, Michelle explores the magic that unfolds when we give ourselves space: renewed inspiration, deeper intuition, meaningful connection, and the courage to listen to what's truly calling. Retreats have taught her how to access wisdom beyond the noise, making them a powerful tool for business owners, caregivers, creatives, and busy humans who are holding a lot.
