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

Hello Beautiful!

Have you ever felt like parts of your story are too messy, too ordinary, or too painful for God to use? If so, this episode is going to breathe hope straight into your heart.

Today I’m sitting down with my writing coach, Carolyn Wiley, to talk about the beauty God brings from the chapters we’d rather skip — and how writing your testimony can become one of the most healing and clarifying things you ever do.

We don’t reveal her story in these notes… you’ll hear it in the episode. But trust me — you will walk away believing that your story matters too.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover: ✨ Why your story is NOT too messy for God to use ✨ How your past can become the foundation of your calling ✨ The unexpected healing that happens when you start writing ✨ Why testimonies are powerful for YOU and for others ✨ One simple step you can take today to begin writing your own story

Whether you want to write a book, journal through your testimony, or simply understand how God has been weaving beauty into your life — this episode will meet you right where you are.
