Hello Beautiful!

If your holiday season tends to leave you feeling more frazzled than festive... this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Bethany Thomson, a functional dietitian and host of Nourishing Her Midlife Rest. Bethany helps women gently heal from burnout, autoimmune challenges, and chronic stress by honoring their body, mind, and spirit.

We’re talking all about:

• Why so many women feel sick, tired, or anxious during the holidays
• How emotional + spiritual unrest impacts your physical health
• A faith-centered framework for resetting your nervous system
• Small, do-able shifts to reclaim your joy, your beauty, and your presence in this season

Whether you're prepping meals, juggling a million events, or just trying to stay afloat — this conversation will leave you breathing deeper and remembering what really matters.

Grab your tea, hit play and let’s get back to living that beautiful life!

XO,

Michelle

Or maybe you’ve been carrying something heavy, wishing you had someone beside you who could remind you of the courage you already have?

If fear has been sitting in the driver’s seat lately, here’s the real reason: We were never meant to do this alone. You can love Jesus, know your purpose, and still feel stuck if you try to walk it out without the right people beside you.

And that’s why today’s episode is so special.

I sit down with one of my dearest friends in the whole world — Deborah.

She’s the kind of friend every woman hopes to find at least once in her life:

the one who sees the gold in you long before you ever see it yourself,

the one who refuses to let you hide,

the one who pushes you toward the life God has for you with boldness, honesty, and so much love.

You’ll walk away remembering that God uses people to sharpen us, strengthen us, and help us see what He put inside us long before we believe it for ourselves.

XO,

Michelle

Hello Beautiful!

Do you feel like you’re doing all the right things but still not living the life you want? Chasing perfection can leave even the most capable women feeling exhausted, unseen, and stuck.

In this episode, I sit down with Liberty Bain, coach and founder of The Gold Star Group, to talk about what it really means to live fully—and why small, consistent habits matter more than big, shiny milestones.

We dive into: - Why chasing perfection keeps us from celebrating what actually matters - How to practice progress over perfection—even on messy days - Real, practical steps to start living fully today - Why small wins are the real secret to a meaningful life

If you’re ready to stop striving for perfection and start living a life that feels authentic and full, this conversation is for you.

Grab your cup of tea and join us!

Hello Beautiful!

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I just don’t feel like myself anymore…”?

This week’s conversation is one I think will bless you deeply. I’m joined by the amazing Gwendolyn Searls—a minister, speaker, and founder of MakeUp Your Mind and Poetic Cosmetics.

Gwen calls herself a spiritual makeup artist, and when I heard that, I had to know more. But what she shared went far beyond beauty products. We talked about how healing, identity, and true beauty are all connected—and how God wants to restore what life has tried to wear down.

If you’re in a season where you feel invisible, discouraged, or just plain tired, this episode is for you. Gwen’s story and message are a reminder that it’s never too late to make up your mind and see yourself the way God sees you.

Here’s a little of what we covered: - What it means to be a spiritual makeup artist - How beauty can be a form of healing—not hiding - Simple steps to renew your mind and feel lifted again - Why your story doesn’t disqualify you—it qualifies you - How to step into your God-given identity with confidence

I know you’re going to walk away from this one feeling encouraged, seen, and maybe even a little more beautiful—inside and out.

👇 I’ve included all of Gwen’s links and upcoming events below so you can stay connected with her and the beautiful work she’s doing.

Michelle

Hello Beautiful!

If you’ve been layering products, chasing trends, or falling for another “must-have” that ends up in the drawer — this episode is for you.

This week, I share the real reason so many beauty routines don’t work (even when you're doing all the “right” things), and what to do instead. You’ll walk away with a simple approach that will help you stop wasting money and start building confidence in your choices — from skincare to style and beyond.

You’ll learn:

• Why the beauty industry wants you to feel like you’re not doing enough
• The truth about actives (and why retinol might not be helping you)
• My personal fall skincare routine (plus the one product she never skips)
• The 3-question filter to help you make better beauty decisions moving forward
• A mindset shift that might just change the way you see yourself in the mirror

This is your permission slip to make beauty feel simple again.

Grab your tea, hit play and let’s get back to living that beautiful life!

Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, moving into a new season of life, or just realizing that the built-in friendships from motherhood, work, or church aren’t there anymore—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Cecelia Curtis, host of The Friendship Tour podcast, for a powerful and honest chat about what friendship looks like in midlife—and how to rebuild the kind of connection that truly makes life beautiful again.

We talk about:

• Why friendship shifts in your 40s, 50s, and beyond
• The emotional toll of losing built-in friendships
• How COVID and digital life changed the way women connect
• Myths we believe that keep us stuck in loneliness
• Practical, real-life ways to build meaningful friendships
• Why friendship is part of self-care and spiritual growth

Whether you’ve felt lonely, hesitant to reach out, or just unsure where to start—this episode offers real hope and fresh perspective.

Hello Beautiful!

You don’t have to lose 20 pounds, change your whole wardrobe, or become someone else to feel confident again. In this episode, I’m walking you through a 4-part makeover framework designed specifically for Christian midlife women who are ready to stop hiding and start showing up — right now, exactly as they are.

We’ll cover: - Face: Skin, makeup & face exercise that lift without the needles - Body: Fueling instead of punishing - Style: Wearing what you want to highlight - Mindset: The most important shift that makes it all stick

I’ll also share a bit of my own story — and why weighing over 200 pounds doesn’t stop me from living fully, freely, and on purpose.
