What happens when you say yes to the unknown—and keep saying yes, ten times over? Author and educator Ann McGarry joins Michelle to share the profound, funny, and heart-opening lessons she's gathered from walking The Camino ten times since 2014. From unexpected challenges to moments of grace, Ann’s story is a love letter to the healing power of the path, divine guidance, and the courage to keep walking—literally and metaphorically. Whether you’ve dreamed of a pilgrimage or you're navigating your own inner journey, this conversation invites you to trust the signs, surrender to the road, and discover what it means to truly come home to yourself.

In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle sits down with Deborah Ann Baker, PhD, to explore the intersections of creativity, perception, and possibility. Inspired by her thought-provoking book, There Is No Such Thing as Purple Trees: A Journey to Art, Creativity, Healing, and Soul-Led Life, Deborah invites us to look beyond the limits we’ve been taught, to question what we see, and to lean into the magic of curiosity. Together, we dive into art as a tool for self-expression, education as a catalyst for change, and the ways our perspectives shape the colors of our lives.

What if the turning point on your healing journey wasn’t something massive… but something gentle? In this heartfelt episode, Brandon Bonanza and I dive into the raw and real layers of self-healing—exploring Negative Unconscious Thoughts (NUTs), the importance of boundaries, and how a simple question I asked Brandon years ago shifted everything for him:

"Why are you being so hard on yourself? Can you go easy on yourself?"

We talk about the power of compassion, how inner dialogue shapes our experience, and what it takes to move through healing with grace instead of grit.

💫 Whether you’re just starting your path or deep in your process, this one’s for you.

🧠 Let’s talk NUTs, boundaries, and the beauty of softening.

We toss around the words “self-care” and “nurturing self” like they’re universally understood—but what do they actually mean? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle unpacks the often-misunderstood language of healing. This isn’t about candles and alone time (though those can be lovely). It's about discovering what real support looks like for you—and why healing alongside a trusted someone might be the most nourishing action you can take. Let’s go beyond the buzzwords and into embodied clarity.

In this honest and heart-centered conversation, I sit down with Josh Griffith, a creator, connector, and someone who's redefining what it means to have influence. While “influencer” might not be a title he embraces, Josh is deeply rooted in community, authenticity, and service.

We talk about what it means to show up in the public eye as you are, not as who the world expects you to be. Josh opens up about the power of vulnerability, the weight of visibility, and how sharing your truth, even imperfectly, can be a lifeline for someone else.

He shares a powerful story about a message he received from a follower—a reminder that sometimes, just being real can ripple out in ways we never expect.

If you’ve ever questioned your impact or wondered whether your voice matters, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, seen, and inspired to keep going.
