What if your illness wasn’t the end of your story… but the beginning of your healing? ✨

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Nicole Mixdorf, an award-winning Corporate Wellness Expert and Akashic Energy Healer, who shares her transformative journey healing from ulcerative colitis.

Pushed to the brink by intense work stress and family trauma, Nicole's body went into crisis. When conventional medicine ran out of answers, she courageously explored over 50 holistic modalities — including energy work and the Akashic Records — uncovering the emotional and spiritual roots of her illness. Today, she helps thousands restore balance, vitality, and joy as Founder of Balance by Nature.

We dive into:

• How chronic stress and trauma manifest as physical illness

• Why traditional medicine often falls short for autoimmune conditions

• The power of energy healing and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom

• What true, whole-person healing really looks like

• Reclaiming joy and vitality after burnout or chronic illness

If you’re navigating chronic illness, autoimmune challenges, burnout, or feeling disconnected from your body — this episode meets you right where you are.

✨ You are not broken.

✨ Your body is not betraying you.

✨ Healing is possible — often in unexpected ways.

Nicole also hosts HEALED with Nicole Mixdorf, sharing global stories of resilience and self-healing.

What if you ended this year not with pressure — but with presence and gratitude?

In this special New Year’s Eve episode of The Michele Roys Show, I invite you to slow down, breathe, and gently honor the year you’ve lived — the growth, the resilience, the hard days, and the quiet victories.

Instead of jumping into resolutions, we reflect with compassion and set soul-aligned intentions from a place of grace, not force. Perfect for anyone living with chronic illness, invisible pain, or simply needing a softer transition into the new year.

✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why a compassionate year-in-review is more powerful than rushed goals

• A simple reflection practice (even scrolling your photos counts 💛) to see how far you’ve come

• How to hold space for both joy and grief without judgment

• The importance of giving yourself credit for simply showing up

• Gentle ways to set intentions that honor your energy and health

This episode is for you if:

• The year flew by and you’re not sure what you “achieved”

• You’re feeling mixed emotions — gratitude, exhaustion, hope, grief

• You want to enter 2026 feeling grounded and supported

You don’t need to fix anything before midnight.  

Your presence is already enough. 🤍

If Christmas feels heavy this year—especially with chronic pain or invisible illness—this episode is for you. 💛

You don’t have to do all the things to still experience love, meaning, and peace. 💛

In this special Christmas Eve episode of The Michele Roys Show, I’m showing up in my Christmas jumper and Santa hat to share love, light, and a gentle reminder: your presence matters more than your productivity.I reflect on how Christmas used to look for me — singing in nursing homes, baking cookies for friends, writing endless Christmas cards — and how this season has taught me to slow down, conserve my energy, and choose what truly matters.

In this episode, we talk about:

🎄Why Christmas can be beautiful and hard — and why both are valid

🎄Giving yourself permission to slow down, rest, and breathe (hand to heart 🤍)

🎄Letting go of pressure and choosing presence instead

🎄Gentle holiday self-care tips for managing chronic illness during Christmas

🎄Enjoying food, traditions, and simple joys without guilt

🎄Traveling for Christmas and embracing “different” seasons with grace

🎄How Christmas can be restorative — if we allow it to be

Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, invisible illness, grief, exhaustion, or simply feeling overwhelmed by expectations, this episode is a gentle pause — a reminder that showing up is enough.

Christmas isn’t about doing more. It’s about being present.

And that, my friend, is more than enough.

 Feeling exhausted before Christmas even arrives? This episode is your permission slip to pause, protect your energy, and choose what truly matters this season.

As Christmas approaches, the pressure to do it all can quietly drain us—especially if you’re living with chronic pain, invisible illness, or limited energy. In this heartfelt solo episode of The Michele Roys Show, I’m sharing a powerful reframe: conserving your energy is not giving up—it’s choosing wisely.

I open up about my own journey of learning to pause during the holidays—letting go of traditions I love (like Christmas cookies and endless cards), redefining what “enough” looks like, and focusing on what truly fills my heart: being present with my family and having the energy to travel and be together.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why resting before you’re depleted is an act of wisdom, not weakness
  

• How to redefine productivity when your body needs gentleness
  

• Choose Top 3 priorities that replaced an overwhelming Christmas to-do list
  

• How to decide what to keep, what to simplify, and what to lovingly let go
  

• Why presence matters more than perfection—especially during the holidays
  

If you’ve been feeling the tension between tradition and capacity, this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and choose Christmas with intention, love, and grace.

This is your reminder: You don’t have to do everything to make this season meaningful. You just have to do what matters most to you.

What if your greatest pain became your greatest purpose? This powerful 1-year anniversary episode of The Michele Roys Show will move you, stretch you, and remind you that joy is possible — even in the hardest seasons.

To celebrate one year of The Michele Roys Show, I am beyond honored to welcome Amberly Lago — international keynote speaker, best-selling author of True Grit & Grace, host of The Amberly Lago Show, and now author of the brand-new book Joy Thru the Journey.

Amberly’s story is one of unimaginable resilience, grit, and faith. After a devastating motorcycle accident left her with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) — often called the “suicide disease” — she chose not just to survive, but to shine.

In this deeply moving conversation, Amberly opens up with raw vulnerability about:

✨ The moment that changed her life forever

✨ Living with chronic pain and invisible illness

✨ How she finds joy even on the hardest days

✨ Her P.A.C.E.R. Method — a roadmap for Perspective, Acceptance, Community, Endurance, and Rest

✨ Learning to ask for help and receive support

✨ Finding your why — and using it to rise again

This episode is more than an interview — it’s a masterclass in courage, compassion, and the power of faith to transform pain into purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets hard… this one’s for you.

What part of Amberly’s story spoke to you most — and how has it inspired you to keep going? Share below, I’d love to hear your reflection. 💬

In this heartfelt solo episode of The Michele Roys Show, I open up about the reality of post-event crashes, travel recovery, and the deep tension between the mind that wants to keep going and the body that desperately needs rest.

I share:

• Why slowing down is not weakness

• How I calm my body when pain spikes

• Why hand-to-heart, self-soothing, and stillness matter

• How choosing rest became an act of self-love

• What gratitude looks like even on hard days

I also share the story of people who travelled from far and wide to attend my recent talks — including two women who drove all the way from Galway to find encouragement in their journey with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Messages like these remind me why I keep showing up every week.

Some days we don’t need another solution. We need permission to rest, to soften, and to be held in grace.

Have you ever wondered how your body’s energy impacts your physical and emotional health? In this inspiring episode of The Michele Roys Show, I sit down with Donna Ambrose, founder of Ambrose Wellness, an award-winning holistic clinic in downtown Toronto.

With over 20 years of experience, Donna shares her deep knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — a system of healing that’s been practiced for thousands of years — and explains how it helps people find balance, reduce pain, and restore vitality from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ What Traditional Chinese Medicine really is — and how it views the body as an interconnected energy system.

✔️ The difference between Western and Eastern approaches to healing.

✔️ How acupuncture, herbs, cupping, and movement can help manage stress, chronic pain, and emotional imbalance. ✔️ The power of tuning into your body’s natural rhythms and self-healing wisdom.

🌸 My Takeaway: What I love most about this conversation is Donna’s belief that healing isn’t linear — it’s about awareness, compassion, and trusting your body’s innate wisdom.
