This week on the show, I’m getting VERY personal, and speaking on a topic that has been a massive part of my life over the last few years. Have you wondered why I’ve showed up in such a different way through the last 2 years? THIS is one big reason why, and I’ve finally found the time (Read: The COURAGE) to share my biggest lessons from my own experience of going through a divorce. But not just any divorce, a divorce that involved co-parenting our child via long-distance; Something I had NEVER thought I’d have to experience in my lifetime. It’s been a journey, to say the least!

My intention with today’s episode is not to, “spill the tea” on the nitty-gritty personal details, but rather, to focus on the lessons and key takeaways I am pulling from such a life-altering experience. To say that something like this shapes a person would be the understatement of the century, and I’m certain that ANY of you who have gone through a divorce or separation involving children will completely know what I mean by this.

My hope is that no matter the challenges you’re currently facing in life, my transparency and ability to (finally!) be open and vulnerable on this topic serves you in a big way. Please share it with someone who has been, or who currently going is through a divorce or separation. I’ve also created a few graphics with my favourite quotes from today’s episode (found on the show notes page, at: https://www.michellemcisaac.com/blog/089) that you’re welcome to save and share however you see fit!

Thank you for being here with me along this weird and wonderful journey of life!

In great health,

Olivia (IG: @healinginmotherhood) is a mother, educator, and podcast host with a passion for helping mothers and families, as well as healing on all levels. Becoming a mother shifted Olivia’s priorities and career path. With a background in Psychology, early childhood education, health coaching, yoga, and birth work, it’s safe to say that she’s worn a lot of hats throughout her life. Shortly after having her daughter, she realized how much the lack of support impacts mothers, children, and ultimately families. It ignited a passion within her to educate people on the importance of in person support, attachment, and turning inward to heal childhood wounds. 

Over the last few years, Olivia has taken a deep dive into what health truly means, how our thoughts can impact our body and overall health, and how we can best support mothers and babies. It all starts at home, with you. What you consume on a daily basis - what you read, listen to, eat, and put onto your body can positively or negatively impact your health. It is a choice to begin your healing journey. And it’s such a beautiful opportunity to learn, grow, and transform. Olivia is hopeful that through her work she can disrupt the systems within our society that are not serving mothers and families, while also encouraging people to take the first step in their own healing journey even when it may feel overwhelming.

Meghan Persephone Taylor is a wild woman, radical mother, and visionary artist devoted to the exploration and celebration of the transformational power of creative self- expression. She is a multidisciplinary creative with a special love for textile arts of all kinds. She fell in love with weaving over the course of her BFA degree which she began at OCAD University in Toronto, ON, and completed at NSCAD University in Halifax, NS. Her latest project, a conception, is a digital memoir project that retraces her initiatory journey into motherhood, and is compiled of prose, poetry, photography, as well as textile and multimedia collage. 

It was the creation of this work that reinvigorated Meghan’s passion for the limitless potential of creativity and allowed her to experience first- hand the transformational power of the creative process. Since then she has been working to transmute and express the insights she gained along her own journey  into offerings through her website The Matriarch’s Return where she has just launched her unique 1:1 creative mentorship sessions, Tarot readings and more.

Applications are also now open for her up and coming community network The Matriarchs Return where wildly creative women are invited to gather with the shared intention of embarking on our own unique paths of authentic self-expression.

Meghan is currently living in the jungle of Costa Rica with her beloved partner and two daughters. She dreams of one day creating an artist residency and birth sanctuary, and of once again having her own loom.

I'm back from an almost 2-month long hiatus from posting on social media, and kicking things off with a topic that's been on my heart to bring to the show for years! As a mother who also happens to have a company that resides in this AI-driven, and ever-changing digital space, my stance on showing my son's face online has changed drastically over the years. Many of you have watched a lot of big pieces of our lives happen over the years, but with how things have evolved technology-wise, I have found myself with a strong desire for more privacy. I've also contemplated how my stance on the necessity of personal autonomy is reflected through my choices on whether to share or not share my son's name and face in the online space. I don't claim to have things all figured out in life (none of us do!) I'm simply sharing my personal thought process as an imperfect mom who wants to do right by her kid, and who holds a strong desire to ensure his safety and freedom to choose how he presents himself in the digital world (when he is old enough to actually understand the implications of putting pieces of himself out there to begin with!).  In the end, we're all just doing the best we can with the information and understand we have. Please know that I love and respect you, regardless of whether our thoughts on this topic align or not. Diversity of thought is what makes the world go round.  Don't forget to check out the show notes for this episode (especially the video I mention by "Jose Monkey"!) over at www.wellandfree.io/blog/086. Enjoy! 

In great health,

Michelle

In this episode, we’re talking about some of the various income streams you can utilize to generate revenue and to DIVERSIFY! Yes, it’s a great idea to always have multiple sources of income so that you’ve got revenue moving in your direction from more than one product or offer. This is one way to create further stability in your business, because if one income source is impacted negatively (for example, if the MLM you’re working with goes under), there are still other revenue streams working in your favor.
