Key 3 - Emotional Alchemy – Feel It to Lead It

You were told emotions made you weak. That to lead, you had to be composed. That sensitivity was a liability. So you learned to hold it in. Push it down. Smile through the shame, grief, frustration, rage. But here’s the truth: Your emotions are not flaws. They are fuel. This Immersion is about reclaiming your full emotional range as a source of power, clarity, and embodied wisdom.

Hear how this work is shifting patterns, unlocking clarity, and helping women lead from their emotional truth with courage and presence.

It's not often that a person comes along and brings a whole new perspective to both your personal and professional life - but Michelle manages to do that in spade loads! When you're embarking on learning something that immediately resonates with you but, at the same time, makes you question what you'd always accepted as 'just the way things are', you need the right person at the helm. I'd like to share with you that Michelle is THAT person - not only does she know her stuff (and your stuff) but she works with you in a way that makes you feel that you're chatting with a wise friend you've known for ever (or wish you'd known forever!). Choose Michelle (in work and outside of work) to help you not only understand, but actually apply, the changes you need to make in order to live your fullest authentic life in every sense of the word!

I attended a Good Girl Deprogramming session a few weeks ago with Michelle and to be honest I haven’t stopped thinking about since. It’s difficult to find the right words to describe the session. I could say it was fun, interesting, challenging, informative, and it was all of those things, but I’m not sure any of those descriptions really do it justice. The concepts that Michelle introduces both in the book and the session, are at times difficult to face, but they are important and I left feeling like I’d been walking around with blinkers on most of my life and now I see the things that Michelle talks about everyday. I’m still reflecting on it all and I think I will be for some time to come. But one thing is certain, somethings started, awoken, changed for me. If you’ve read the book or attended the sessions you’ll know what I’m talking about and if you haven’t then I would highly recommend it.
