🎙 Show Notes: Season 3, Episode 1 – Not Pretty But Still Worthy

The glow-up doesn’t always look like the highlight reel. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it doesn’t look pretty at all. But it’s still worthy.

In this episode, Evelyn Michelle opens Season 3 of Power Through the Mess with raw honesty about her own journey—losing over 100 pounds, facing shame from family and relationships, and realizing that the real glow-up starts inside, not outside. She shares the “deep, dark secret” she’s been keeping (her quiet creative glow-up), and what stepping into this new chapter is requiring of her: discipline, organization, belief, and the courage to bet on herself.

If you’ve ever felt like your glow-up doesn’t measure up, this episode will remind you that the messy middle still counts.

✨ In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why the glow-up isn’t about before-and-after photos.

• The moment Evelyn realized she had to change—for her kids and for herself.

• The shame she carried, where it came from, and how she’s releasing it.

• The “quiet glow-up” she’s stepping into now (yes, she’s creating music 🎶).

• Practical tools that are helping her in this season: schedule blocking, small disciplines, and the courage to believe in herself even when it looks crazy to others.

✨ Whether you’re new here or have been walking with me since Season 1—thank you. You are proof that even in the middle of the mess, we are still glowing.

This might be the shortest episode of the season, but it's still real.

In this raw, unfiltered reflection, I talk about what it really means to "become her"-not through perfection or performance, but through presence.

Not with a blueprint, but with breath.

This one's soft. Short. And from the heart!

Sometimes even your healing becomes too small. This episode is about the moment you outgrew the life you prayed for-the version of you that was built on strategy, structure, and survival. We're diving into what it really means to surrender the plan, losses your grip on the blueprint, and evolve into a version of yourself that isn't controlled by fear, performance, or past patterns. This is about spiritual alignment over expectation. It's about walking away from what no longer fits-even if it once felt like everything you wanted-and choosing the unknown, because that's where your soul is pulling you now.
