Hello Beautiful!

Have you noticed midlife has a sneaky way of making you play it safe?

And then every New Year, you try to push yourself into change with pressure… only to feel exhausted, discouraged, or right back where you started.

In this episode, we’re using the Curiosity → Competence → Confidence framework to show you one small change that grows real courage in 2026—without the all-or-nothing spiral.

This episode is for you if you’re a Christian midlife woman who wants to feel visible again—in your habits, your voice, your relationships, and even your beauty routines. You’ll walk away with a simple way to build confidence that doesn’t rely on motivation—just tiny reps and proof.

• Why pressure-based “New Year change” usually backfires
• How curiosity helps you start without fear of failure
• The role competence plays (hint: it’s really just proof)
• Why confidence is the result—not the requirement
• A simple 7-day challenge to build courage one small rep at a time

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!

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

Michelle
