I'm sharing the magical (and messy) moments from my 16-day European adventure with my family - a trip that started as a vision board dream three years ago and became reality. From Rome to the Amalfi Coast, Florence to Venice, and finally Paris, I'm opening up about the power of intentionality while also getting real about how travel stretched my nervous system.

In this episode, Michelle catches up with former client Kobi, who went from being a burnt-out nurse on the verge of suicide to running her own coaching business and living on a farm. They chat about fear, guilt, taking small steps, and what happens when you finally put yourself first.

Nursing feels like the biggest love-hate relationship - giving you deep purpose while simultaneously draining your energy. If you've ever wondered how something so fulfilling can also feel like it's destroying you, this episode is for you. I'm sharing my SHIFT Framework - the exact 5-step process that took me from stage 12 burnout to complete alignment in 12 months. Learn how to assess if your work aligns with your values, energy, and nervous system, and discover why being told to "be more resilient" isn't the answer. This isn't about quitting nursing - it's about reclaiming the YOU who used to love it.

"The Human Design Reading That Changed Everything"

In this episode, I share how discovering I'm a Manifester in Human Design completely transformed my understanding of myself and my nursing career. For years, I thought something was wrong with me - I couldn't keep up like my colleagues and craved solitude when others seemed energized. Learning about my non-sacral energy type finally gave me permission to honor my natural cycles of bursts and rest. I'll share the 5 ways I now honor my Manifester energy and how this knowledge helped me transition from emergency nursing to full-time coaching. If you've ever felt "different" or struggled with energy management, this episode might just be the permission slip you need to embrace who you're truly designed to be.

Now offering limited Human Design readings - DM me "human design" on Instagram @michellegordon_coach to learn more!

In this episode, I'm opening up about the heavy three months I've been holding—losing my mother-in-law after 30 years and advocating for my own mum through a broken healthcare system. My daily rituals and nervous system tools have been my lifeline, but I've realised I can't keep going at this pace. I'm closing The Health and Happiness Formula until later this year and heading to Italy and Paris with my family—a trip that's been on my vision board for three years. I refuse to step on that plane feeling burnt out. What do you need to step back from to make your own quantum leap forward?

Lie #1 - I just need a holiday and I'll feel better

Lie #2 - Maybe I just need another job

Lie #3 - I can afford to invest in myself right now

Lie #4 - I don't have time to slow down

Lie #5 - This is just the way nursing is, I should be able to handle it
