You’re not the problem — you’re just running someone else’s code.

In this raw, grounded conversation, therapist and Human Design coach Tara Crowl joins Michelle to unpack how trauma, perfectionism, and “proving energy” keep ambitious women stuck in patterns that feel safe — but silently suffocating.

They explore what really happens when your business, career, or creative work starts to feel off… why authenticity isn’t a brand aesthetic but a nervous system state… and how Human Design can help you rebuild your success from alignment, not effort.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why do I keep repeating this pattern even though I know better?” — this episode will give you language (and permission) for what your body already knows.

• The truth about “fixing yourself” — and why that mindset keeps you stuck in the proving loop.
• How trauma shows up in your chart and blocks your creativity, confidence, and visibility.
• Perfectionism as a trauma response (and how to turn that energy into power, not paralysis).
• Why authenticity = flow — and why chasing strategy before alignment will always burn you out.
• How Human Design gives you the actual map to break old conditioning and return to who TF you really are.
• The art of “permission” — how to stop proving, start trusting, and run your business in a way that actually feels good.

A grounded, unfiltered take on what happens when “doing more” stops working — and alignment becomes your new strategy.

What do you do when the thing you thought was your purpose — your soul’s work, your reason for being here – just doesn’t fit anymore?

It could be that your work:

• Isn’t sustaining you anymore — emotionally, energetically, or financially
• Maybe the passion fizzled out
• Perhaps it’s just one area of your biz that isn’t lighting you up anymore…
• Or it could be you’re ready to pack your backs and go “Eat, Pray, Love”…

In this episode, Michelle debunks the “passion business” myth.

You’ll see how this truly plays out through a real client story, what alignment actually feels like, and how your purpose might not be what you thought.

You’ll learn:

• If “follow your passion” has become a trap for you
• 4 signs it might be time to pivot your business
• How to actually make that pivot

Plus, you'll get full permission to choose something that feels easier (and still lights you up), and no-shame advice for making the shift without losing yourself.

In this episode of Rebrand Your Brain, I’m joined by Soulicious Lifestylist Suzanne Armstrong for a powerful conversation on what it really means to trust your intuition and follow your soul’s calling in business and life.

We explore:

• What it means to be a soul-aligned entrepreneur
• How to recognize the clues your body gives you when something isn’t aligned
• Why overwhelm isn’t just “too much to do” — and what it’s actually telling you
• The connection between your body, intuition, and business
• Learning to trust yourself
• How creativity can unlock your authentic truth
• The importance of integration (instead of just collecting more information)

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in your business, this episode will inspire you to pause, listen inward, and realign with what feels true for you.
