Hey y’all,

This week’s Roho Podcast is really about one thing. You guessed it.

Love.

I’ve been sitting with how easy it is to feel like things are out of our control—what’s happening in the world, what we’re seeing every day, the uncertainty of it all. And what I’ve come back to is this: we actually have more power than we think we do.

We may not control everything around us, but we do get to choose how we show up. We get to choose love. Not in a soft or passive way—but as a real, active decision. In how we treat people. In how we move through fear. In how we stay connected to what’s true, even when everything feels loud.

For me, this has meant coming back to basics—grounding myself in purpose, trusting that what I need is already within me, and focusing on what’s right in front of me to make better. Not everything. Just my part.

Because if enough of us do that—if we each choose love where we are—that’s how things actually shift.

That’s what I’m talking about this week.

Love will expose you.

This week, I share a moment where I messed up, took accountability… and got nothing in return.

No response. No validation.

And still—I chose love.

I'm talking about ego, over-explaining, self-love, and the freedom that comes when you stop needing people to meet you where you are.

Have a great week, y’all!

Love, Michelle

Today… everything is about love.

Not the soft version.Not the easy version.But the kind of love that makes decisions for you.

The kind of love that removes the debate.

Because once you’re clear—I am choosing love—there’s nothing left to argue with.

And I’ve been sitting with that…what it really means to choose love when it costs you something.

When love doesn’t just feel good…but asks you to release what you also love.

To walk away from what you built.To loosen your grip on what once felt like home.

And still… choose love.

Because love isn’t just about what we hold onto.It’s about what we refuse to stay connected to.

It’s about alignment.It’s about peace.It’s about truth.

And I’m learning… in real time…that when you choose love for real—

you choose up.

Love, Michelle

Happy Monday, y’all.

Listen… I had a moment this week.Like a real one.

I made a decision—intentionally—to love my ex.Not conditionally. Not strategically. Just… love.

Love.

And something shifted.

I’m not even gonna get into it yet… I’m just gonna let it breathe. Let it play out. I’ll tell you the full story later.

But what I will say is—I’m a believer. For real.

Love does something.When it’s real, when it’s grounded, when it’s not trying to control… it moves things.

So I’m back.Back in love. Back choosing it on purpose.

And just know—me, Tommy, and Ghost… we’re sending you love.

Alright y’all. Have a good rest of your week.

Learn from Tommi and Ghost — surround yourself with people who actively invest in the business of your pleasure and joy.
