In this episode, Michelle shares a heartfelt story from adinner with her long-time membership community, where she was showered with flowers, gifts, and warm congratulations for the journey toward international accreditation. After the celebration, though, she notices something important: beingcongratulated feels strangely uncomfortable.
Michelle unpacks why, touching on old achievement patterns,her growth in learning to celebrate, and the deeper truth that the journey itself has become the prize. She reflects on living so fully in her vision and partnership with Source that the outcome feels inevitable, almost like being praised for breathing. You’ll hear her speak honestly about gratitude,restoration after hardship, and the next-level mission behind the Certified Growth Leader program, and be invited to consider how ready you are to receive your own “congratulations season.”
In this episode, Michelle weaves together basic economics(supply and demand) with spiritual truth and everyday life. She explores the idea that there is a supply for every genuine demand, in love, health, abundance, and success; and challenges the stories we tell ourselves about why we “can’t” have what we desire.
Michelle shares real examples from her life, her coachingwork, and the Certified Growth Leader program to show how one aligned idea can change everything. She also talks about preparing for what you want (not what you fear), acting as the future version of yourself, and ignoring the naysayers who can’t see your vision. If you’ve ever wondered whether your “weird idea” or big desire is possible, this episode is your reminder: there’s a match for your demand.
After completing her international accreditation interview,Michelle reflects on the power of having others help hold your vision, especially when you’re tired, stretched, or stepping into something big. She shares why being reminded of who you are, keeping things simple, and receiving a bit of encouragement can make all the difference.
Michelle invites listeners to partner with her in holdingthe vision for massive, loving leadership through the Certified Growth Leader community, and reminds you that you, too, deserve people who hold your vision when life gets heavy. She also shares how the CGL program supports eachmember’s unique goals, strengths, and path forward.
In today’s episode, Michelle takes you behind thescenes of a major milestone: the long-awaited interview for Grow By 1’s international accreditation. After two years of deep work, building policies, upgrading systems, clarifying vision, and documenting every moving piece of thebusiness, and is stepping into a six-hour evaluation that examines everything.
Naturally, everyone keeps asking her: “Are you prepared?”
But today’s conversation goes far beyond an interview.
Michelle explores what preparation really means, spiritually,mentally, and strategically, and how your life always meets you at the level of what you’re preparing for, not what you say you want. This is where the coaching concept of “Beyond the Bullseye” comes into play: when you aim at a vision much larger than the immediate goal, your actions, energy, andexpectations shift into alignment with the future you’re truly building.
And yes, the Certified Growth Leader Program is officiallyon the move. Once accreditation is approved, the founding member price will increase. Whether you want CEUs, high-level training support, community, or help growing your speaking/training business, now is the time to explore ifthis program is right for you.
This episode will leave you grounded, empowered, and asking yourself the life-changing question: Am I preparing for what I say I want… or for something else?
In today’s episode of Change Your Thinking, Change YourLife, Michelle explores a powerful metaphor grasshoppers among giants.
Whether you’re starting a new health routine, changing arelationship pattern, stepping into leadership, or chasing a long-held dream, big shifts often come with “tormenting thoughts,” and signal that you’re approaching a place where your ego tries to keep you safe by convincing you you’re small.
Michelle shares personal, real-time examples from the lastsix months, including navigating strong personalities, transitioning off medication, and preparing for Grow By 1’s international accreditation process, to show how quickly we can slip into grasshopper mode… and how powerfully we canreclaim our giant energy.
She also shares an update on Grow By 1’s pursuit ofinternational accreditation and why now is the time to join the Certified Growth Leader Program before the founding price increases. If you’ve been feeling the nudge, this may be your moment.
Whether you feel like a giant, a grasshopper, or bothdepending on the day, this episode reminds you that your perception isn’t the truth, and your power is far greater than your fear.
