    51. Soulchats with Michelle Casazza

    Meet Michelle! The stars aligned very quickly, and Michelle popped into my life at the exact right moment. This conversation is confirmation that we really are more similar than we are different even if it's in Ireland or New York! Michelle is helping women in the exact same way even though we are on different sides of the Atlantic! Watch us while we "do business" the right way! THIS is how real women, do real business. "On paper" we should be competition. But we know how energy really works. We are colleagues, confidants & collaborators who will raise each other up no matter what. That's how real women move through the world. Enjoy this very impromptu yet powerful podcast all the way from NYC! After experiencing burnout in the rigid, male-dominated corporate world, Michelle embarked on a transformative journey across the waters, seeking to embody a more feminine, flowing energy, and return to her true self. Her experiences led to the creation of Matria, a transformative ecosystem designed to empower women to anchor in who they are, so they can flow and grow in their self-discovery journeys. Michelle is a visionary coach who blends business acumen with an intuitive approach to self-discovery and empowerment. As a seasoned business strategist, community-builder, and passionate sailor, Michelle specializes in guiding women in corporate to find flow, and clarity, so they can build longevity in their career and in life.   Matria draws inspiration from the matriarch: a classic archetype representing the power and femininity of women. The name “Matria” invites women to embrace their full potential here and now, rather than waiting for their later decades to step into their true power.  Learn more at joinmatria.com and subscribe here to get Matria’s weekly newsletter.
