hey guys
We're Brian Couple
hey babe
i'm michelle
I had worked as a stripper
for nine years
When I found myself at The Mind Body Spirit Festival in Melbourne with my then-boyfriend of six months. I was at a crossroads in the relationship. Even though we had incredible sex and palpable chemistry, I felt off. You know the feeling.
But I really liked him.
So I decided to let fate reveal our future. I found a Tarot Reader at the festival while he kept himself occupied with other stalls. To my surprise, the reader told me that he loved me. That he adores me and wants to have children with me. That he was the one who was waiting for me because I was the one who wasn’t all in.
That was a bit spicy, I know. It’s only ’cause I love ya and I know that you know that YOU’RE READY. You’re ready to stop with the bandaids and ready to resolve the core patterns that create anxiety, insecurity, and distrust in men.
…..and there I was,
Thinking about ending it All
So at that moment, I made the decision to go ALL IN. I figured the cards said it. It must be true.
I didn’t know this then but I think life has a funny way of telling you the things you need to hear, to lead you back to the most powerful truth of all. On the car ride home, he broke up with me.
The irony was that I didn’t really want to be with him and yet I was devastated. When we got back to my house I was piled up in a heap on the floor, sobbing and begging him not to leave. He assured me that his mind was made up and as he proceeded to walk out the door, I knew that this was it. I wasn’t devastated because he left. I was devastated at the endless loop I was somehow caught in; terrified that I was destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
I opened up Facebook to distract myself and saw a post from a woman sharing her experience at a Yoga & Meditation Retreat in Koh Phangan. She wrote that she suffered from severe depression but that this retreat was her saving grace. It just so happened that I had no stripping gigs booked for the next six weeks. I had the money. Everything lined up and all signs pointed to go.

I journeyed with my own
sexuality
and finally let down the shield of “the cool girl”, allowing the real me to be seen in all her glory.
I connected with my heart and my true authentic sexual expression. I let go of the stories I had around men. I stopped blaming and demonising them. Instead, I started to see them for their sensitivity, their hearts and their generosity. I saw how much they wanted to love, provide and protect.
At the end of all of this came a profound realisation. I had dedicated myself to becoming a different person so that I could finally be worthy of love. But what I had been ultimately looking for was there all along. Our journeys are not to find the answers we are looking for but to remember what we once buried deep within ourselves; what we have always known but perhaps have forgotten.
There it was, staring back at me;
Remembrance
My entire journey wasn’t about learning how to become more feminine, how to integrate the masculine or about becoming worthy. Everything I had done brought me back to the realisation that I’m worthy of love no matter what. It didn’t matter if I was a stripper, or what my attachment style was or even if I made mistakes. I am worthy of love simply because I exist. I am whole and everything is already perfect.
…..and in this state of love and acceptance of the self, in this state of remembrance, we are our most authentic selves. From here we attract the people into our lives who reflect the way that we feel about ourselves.
My signature program is called The Connected Woman, to remind women everywhere that what we deeply long for is simply connection to ourselves. That in every day, every moment and every interaction we have the freedom to choose to be our most authentic selves.
