WELCOME! MY NAME’S MICHELE

It's my core mission to show others that they have the power through faith & imperfect action to design a life they LOVE.

I focus on every aspect of empowerment – from creating a flexible work schedule to accommodate family & personal time, to igniting my clients’ passions and creating a lasting, impactful, financially secure legacy.

I want to see those with servant’s hearts gain greater confidence, financial success, and happiness within their lives. I develop my clients’ ability to create well-rounded lives; physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, financially, and within their relationships to themselves, their tribe, and their careers.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to help others.

I learned about the power of investing following a successful career in the insurance industry as a licensed agent. With a strong, unrelenting desire to run my own business, I eventually gained several more licenses and certifications, eventually running my own office as Financial Advisor.

Still wanting to make a more meaningful impact, I opened my own franchise with my high-school sweetheart & husband, Rocky.

After we established this business, I had an epiphany. I realized that after nearly 2 decades of conversations with women, in particular, who were grappling with financial or other difficulties, the majority that I had spoken with were really missing something. These women (and the financial/investment industry as a whole) were putting the cart before the horse. Let me explain.

Women, by in large, face considerably different challenges than men. I had been teaching this in my Wealthy Women classes for years. Women are often the primary caregivers for their children, their spouses, their parents, and even their in-laws.

Women would have smaller retirement accounts, less time off, and lower salaries due to time away from their careers. Plus women have less time to receive a critical education on finance & investments in the first place.

While women often handle the day to day household budget and checking account, they often choose to delegate the long-term finance & investment role to someone else, if at all. The reasons for this varies, but most often women, understandably, find that they have no more of themselves to give – both to themselves and to their future. It was frustrating to see so many women settle, because they saw no other way.

Meanwhile, our own life was about to get a major shakeup. Rocky and I felt like we had it all – self employed, happily married, living in our dream home we built, traveling, and working hard in our successful business. Then, after 10 years of marriage, Rocky’s mother passed away from an aggressive brain tumor, just before our first baby girl was born.

While one of us became lost, the other was reconnected to their faith in a deeper way. It re-ignited my thirst for learning, and prompted me to dive into neuroscience, metaphysics, religious practices, spiritual gurus, & life coaching.  A decade later we arrived home as Catholics:)

I was excited to eventually gain my coaching certification, which enabled me to offer mindset coaching – a key missing ingredient that I was unable to offer my clients before. I also used this new knowledge to improve our workaholic lives that were starting to impact Rocky and I negatively. Once I set in motion all the practices I had learned, Rocky and I started to transform our careers. We learned how to become more efficient, how to delegate & scale while working 3 days a week in the multi-million dollar business we designed, so we could create a life of true fulfillment.

Before I could gain serious traction with my new coaching practice, Rocky and I almost lost our youngest daughter to a grand mal seizure. The experience was truly traumatizing, and we learned shortly thereafter that she had epilepsy, mild cerebral palsy & later a rare genetic disease called ZBTB18. My experience as a mindset coach helped some with this challenge, as we were soon inundated with doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and regular seizures that kept us on edge constantly. We let ourselves experience the overwhelm, process the grief, and allow ourselves time to heal.

While that will surely be a lifelong process, the tools we were able to implement during tragedy & other major crises that have followed, have truly kept our family intact & saved us from emotional and financial decline. Not to mention, we were also saved by a whole lot of grace & mercy from God & His people who support us through it all.  The entire experience has given me a deep source of passion to share this knowledge (spiritual & scientific) with my friends and clients – to serve my community and especially women all over the world by offering educational materials, courses, community & one-on-one coaching to improve lives.

I’M HERE TO MAKE IT YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Don't let yourself let go of your dream!

Work with me to design a life you LOVE.
