34. Life Transitions, Daily Rhythms, and Finding Rest and Renewal in Your Everyday with Michaela Belle Parlett

The Fueled & Free Podcast

Today’s podcast guest, Michaela Belle, knows firsthand what it’s like to experience unexpected changes and pivots in life, and as her life has shifted, she’s also pursued various business endeavors along the way. From MLM to business coaching, to writing a book about divorce and healing from a narcissistic ex, she then created her signature program, The Savvy Single, which encourages women to positively embrace and enjoy their single life (rather than view it as a curse). Now, she supports women as a life coach by helping them get out of their anxious, dysregulated state, achieve peace and harmony in their lives, and ultimately, prioritize what TRULY matters to them.

Michaela and I talk about adjusting your expectations to fit your current season, and why daily rhythms matter so much in your everyday life. We also dive into the power of journaling and brain dumping, the idea of ‘bookend rhythms’ to support your morning and nighttime routines (because both of these matter), what a consistent nighttime routine can look like for your entire family, how to begin breaking away from the never-ending exhaustion and disassociation cycle we’re facing as a culture, and more.

Michaela is such a breath of fresh air and has so much wisdom to share - she definitely exemplifies what it means to find harmony in both her personal and professional life, and I know you’ll gain so much from this episode!
