This episode will change the way you think about stress, intuition, and the signals your body has been trying to send you.
In this powerful and surprisingly practical conversation on The Beauty Shift, Michelle sits down with internationally respected medium, author, teacher, and “Comedian Medium” Maureen Hancock.
Michelle first met Maureen several years ago at one of her live events and was immediately struck not only by her extraordinary abilities, but by her humor, warmth, and the healing work she does with people experiencing grief and loss.
More recently, Michelle joined Maureen for a retreat in Sedona—and came home with an entirely new appreciation for the connection between our bodies, our energy, our intuition, and our ability to slow down enough to actually hear ourselves.
That is where this conversation begins.
Maureen shares how she first began seeing spirits at just five years old, the devastating car accident that changed the course of her life, and why she ultimately walked away from her corporate career to dedicate her life to helping others.
But this episode is about much more than mediumship.
Maureen believes that intuition isn't reserved for a gifted few.
Her message is simple:
“You don’t need a medium. You are the medium.”
And she shows you how to begin listening again.
Together, Michelle and Maureen explore what happens when we spend too much of our lives stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our bodies—and the simple practices that can help us come back to ourselves.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why chronic stress can make it harder to hear your own intuition
You’ll also get to practice several of Maureen’s techniques right alongside Michelle during the episode.
If you’ve been feeling stressed, exhausted, anxious, disconnected from yourself—or like there is a quieter voice inside of you that you haven’t been listening to—this conversation is for you.
Sometimes the answer isn’t doing more.
It’s becoming quiet enough to hear what has been there all along.
There is something in this episode for wherever you are in your life right now.
And you may walk away trusting yourself a little more than you did before.

What happens when the life you built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to live?
In this deeply personal episode of The Beauty Shift Podcast, Michelle Phillips sits down with Deborah Santana — author, philanthropist, and former wife of legendary musician Carlos Santana —for an intimate conversation about love, marriage, identity, spirituality, and having the courage to choose yourself.
In her memoir, Loving the Fire, Deborah shares the complicated reality behind her marriage and what it took to step into the unknown and begin creating a new chapter.
Deborah opens up about the fear of leaving what’s familiar, the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next, and the spiritual practices that helped her trust herself and keep moving forward.
Michelle and Deborah talk about:
• The fear and uncertainty of starting over
One of Deborah’s most powerful reminders is that freedom exists in our minds, our hearts and our souls.
If you’re navigating a transition, questioning what comes next, or simply feeling that quiet pull toward something more, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to know exactly where the path is leading before you take the next step.
Sometimes the greatest transformation begins when you finally choose yourself.

Description: Today’s episode of The Beauty Shift is such a fun one—because Michelle’s guest is someone many of you already know and love: Chaz Dean, celebrity hairstylist and the founder of WEN Hair.
Chaz has spent decades shaping how women feel about their hair—from Hollywood sets to living rooms across America—and in this conversation, he takes us behind the scenes of how it all began: a creative kid with a camera, a big vision, and the courage to do things differently (even when people told him he was crazy).
We talk about reinvention, artistry, and what it really takes to keep going when no one understands your idea yet. And yes—he breaks down his famous philosophy that changed haircare as we know it: why he stopped using shampoo and what women can do instead to protect their hair as we age.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Chaz’s story is a masterclass in believing in your vision—even before the world catches up.
