Some people date weekly. I date annually. Maybe biannually if the universe feels generous.

In this episode, I’m talking about a man I’ve known for almost two years and how we’ve only managed one actual date, which has turned into its own kind of romantic mystery. The pacing is strange, the timing is stranger, and I’m over here trying to stop using the word “and” like it’s emotional punctuation.

Somewhere in the middle of all this, I’m sorting through what “my type” even means anymore. Not the old version. The current one. (They might resemble one another.) The version shaped by real connection, steady energy, and the qualities I genuinely appreciate in the man I’m dating.

Meanwhile, in a fantastical dream state, my friend in Japan is living his best life, sending me voice notes about cherry blossoms and telling me to stop overthinking everything. He might be right.

If you want to see my witty comments added in post‑production, watch on YouTube.

Thanks for listening.

Michelle wades through the absolute circus of her love life, starting with BBQ Baddie, the man who had her ready to risk her dignity over a plate of brisket, followed by the poker friend who really should’ve shared more deets. She revisits the married men who thought they were slick, the lost love who tossed her painting into a dumpster like it was moldy yogurt, the age gap crush who keeps her pondering "what if?", and the personal growth she never asked for but got anyway. It’s petty, it’s pointed, and it’s Michelle serving smoke to men who earned every bit of it. *YouTube version has funny edits!!*

Which of my exes might get name‑dropped...um...drop kicked...? This episode dives into the past, the present, and whatever questionable future I’m manifesting. Grab your tarot deck, shake your Magic 8 Ball...if you're Gen X, or just press play to find out whether my childhood ride‑or‑die is dragging you. Keanu Reeves makes an appearance. And yes… size absolutely matters.

Welcome to the jungle. In this episode I am dragging my former red flags into the daylight and giving my growing green flags their moment to shine. This is the story of how I went from reacting to everything to actually understanding myself, choosing better patterns, and learning how to show up with clarity instead of chaos. I’m calling myself out, laughing at my own history, and showing you exactly how I went from “please don’t date me” energy to “okay, she has potential.” It is messy, it is honest, it is chaotic in the best way, and it is proof that you can outgrow the version of yourself you once thought was permanent.

You’ve landed on the Work Bestie Brittany episode of Intricacies of Michelle, the one where Brittany breaks it all the way down. Michelle…the real, the toxic, the eye of the storm, the comic relief, and everything in between.

In this episode, we laugh our way through the wild growth of the last two years, from chaotic coworkers to sister-level friendship. Brittany tells the truth, Michelle tries to defend herself (barely), and together we unpack how much can change when you find the right person to hype you up.

Come for the honesty. Stay for the unhinged laughter. Leave with a little more grace for your own evolution.

Tales From the Dating Crypt is where the bad, the worst, and the Devil incarnate all come out to play. This episode dives into the stories from my dating past, the ones that still make my friends gasp and clutch their pearls. It is chaotic, cathartic, and just the right amount of unholy as we laugh our way through the ghosts I should have left on read, and some of whom still haunt me.

In Episode 3, we flip the script.

This time, Joy, later-in-life-plot-twist-best-friend takes the mic to talk about me — the growth, the chaos, the goofy detours, and the plot twists that came with divorce, reinvention, and a whole lot of laughter.

It’s not just a roast (though there are moments). It’s a celebration of friendship, resilience, and the kind of midlife glow-up that comes with finally saying, “Actually… I AM hilarious and healing.”

If you’ve ever had a friend who saw you clearly (flaws, brilliance, and all), this one’s for you.

In Episode 2 of Intricacies of Michelle, we’re going back to where it all started — from my teen‑club dance‑floor era (yes, I had moves) to becoming the all‑purpose human for my family. It’s the story of how I became… well, me.
And this time, my mom joins me.

She’s not on video much, but when she does chime in, her timing is flawless. Her comments are part roast, part truth, and all love. She keeps me grounded while I spiral into my usual chaos.

Together, we talk childhood, clubs, dating misadventures, marriage, divorce, rebuilding, and what it means to carry the whole load until it’s safe to set some of it down.

If you love a good origin story with humor, heart, and a mom who can deliver a one‑liner without blinking, this episode is for you.
