    Re: Marriage and Sex in the Age of Ozepmic

    Send us a text NYT Podcast The Daily put out an episode a few days ago titled: Marriage and Sex in the Age of Ozempic.  A bunch of you sent me this episode of me to check out. I am gonna be honest, never have I felt a podcast episode had so much cross over in the venn diagram of things I like to talk about. (You can check out the episode here: The Daily) The episode interviewed a couple whose relationship dynamic was totally turned upside down when one of them lost a significant amount of weight on Ozempic. While Rachael Abrams and guest Lisa Miller did a great job highlighting the unforeseen impact these drugs are having on romantic relationships, the couple still seemed at a loss to how they got here, and if they could get their spark back.  While I might not have all the answers, I felt compelled to share a perspective that I hope reaches this couple, and anyone else who might find it helpful.  *I also may or may not have harassed my one friend from high school who works at NYT to try to try to get this episode in the couple's hands, so I hope this reaches them 3  As always, send me your questions at Michelle@mishmindset.com  If you’re curious what that looks like in your own life, I take on a few private clients at a time reserve a personal 1:1 coaching session with me here Follow Michelle on Instagram @Mish_Mindset

    The Psych Hack that Changed My Life

    Send us a text Follow Me on Instagram @Mish_Mindset This is literally the best thing I have learned in my life. It's the formula I use with my clients to achieve things they never thought possible.  We all have a vision for what we want our lives to look like, how we want to show up, how we want to be seen, spend our time. But for many people, there is a disconnect between the life we are living and the life we want.  You might want to be physically fit, but don't go to the gym You might want to attract an amazing partner, but keep chasing the wrong person You might want to lose weight, but you still don't eat well You might want to start the business, but you don't take action  You might want to show up online more, but you don't post We all have our version of the frustration we feel when our actions don't match the vision we have for ourselves. The Reason? We try to make change at the wrong level. It's not about taking action, it is about rewiring the beliefs that prevent you from taking action. You aren't lazy You aren't broken You just weren't taught how   When you upgrade what your brain is saying in the background, your feelings shift, the actions stop feeling like punishment, and over time it hardwires into your identity. That’s the level where change sticks. In this episode, I’m breaking down the pyramid framework I use to explain this exact process—why most people keep failing, and how to flip the script so change feels natural instead of forced. This isn’t about “trying harder.” It’s about finally understanding the psychology of transformation. Once you see it, you’ll never approach change the same way again.

    If You Feel Stuck Listen To This

    Send us a text I talk to SO many people who feel stuck in their own lives. Some people do something about it, most people don't. And honestly, I don't blame them, because no one tells you what that process actually looks like- a dumpster fire.  In order to emerge a Phoenix, life will burn to the ground anything that no longer is aligned with you. But, if you know what to expect, and how to manage your nervous system, everything you want is on the other side of the chaos.  The past two years I have been a case study for this process. One year for my personal life, and one year for my professional life. This is everything that happened (at least what I can legally say lol), how it happened, and what to expect if you are feeling stuck in your own life. I hope this resonates with you. Share this episode with a friend, and make sure you're following me on insta so we can be friendsss  If you’re curious what that looks like in your own life, I take on a few private clients at a time reserve a personal 1:1 coaching session with me here Follow Michelle on Instagram @Mish_Mindset

    I got called a bitch...

    Send us a text Do I come off like a bitch? As a female with some level of success, it is a wright of passage for a series of people (usually guys) to at some point refer to you as a bitch.  For me, I would always scoff at the idea, because I am a former people pleaser, CANCER JULY BABY. How can a (refined) but (naturally) overly sensitive CANCER SUN SIGN seriously be mistaken for a bitch? It's literally impossible Unless you spent years building a "shell" to protect yourself and you didn't realize it until a few days ago when a friend called you out, and then you saw it mirrored IRL in the Alex Cooper documentary. (thanks universe)  Anyway, I am not a bitch (and you know this if you know me personally), but if you don't know me, I learned I may come off at the very least perhaps, "unapproachable". But it's not because I am, it's because of everything I realized this week that I word vomited to you in this episode.  So if you have ever felt misunderstood, or you had to prove yourself, or you felt like you needed to control the way people see you, this is for you. I hope it helps.  Let me know if this resonates — DM me on IG @Mish_Mindset (https://www.instagram.com/mish_mindset). And if you’ve got a friend who’s always being called “intimidating” (🙄), send this to her.

    Send us a text Wanna work together? Book a 1:1 Call  Work With Mish You know that moment where you put on the bathing suit, look in the mirror, and immediately start mentally negotiating with yourself like: “Okay, I just need to be really good for the next four weeks, and then I’ll finally feel okay in my body again”?

    F*ck Fear: a lesson learned the hard way

    Send us a text Before we get into the episode, follow me on insta so we can stay in touch   @MishOfNutrishMish Okay… so this episode starts with a little bit of a life update.  There’s something major has been going on behind the scenes with my business that I legally can’t talk about—but for a while it paralyzed me.   I had so many "what ifs" running through my brain, and I was scared I was gonna lose everything—my business, my money, my stability, my sanity. Until someone on my team who noticed I was losing my mind said to me: “Ok, Michelle, you’re on a need-to-know basis. If you don’t need to know, we’re not telling you.” And that changed everything. Nothing about the situation changed. It’s still unfolding.  But my perception of it did. And that’s what this episode is really about—how fear runs the show when we don’t realize it’s just a projection, not a fact. I break down: Why fear isn’t logical—it’s a leftover pattern from your childhoodHow fears like failure, abandonment, being seen, or not being enough show up in your adult life (yes, even in your job and dating life)Why your nervous system will literally defend your fear like it’s your identityAnd how to start rewiring those beliefs so fear stops making your life smaller than it’s meant to beMy intention with this episode is simple:  To show you that fear isn’t real. But your dreams are.  Let’s stop letting old programming run your new life. If this hits, DM me or share the episode and tag me—I love knowing what resonates.   If you’re curious what that looks like in your own life, I take on a few private clients at a time reserve a personal 1:1 coaching session with me here Follow Michelle on Instagram @Mish_Mindset

    What Your Favorite Jersey Shore Girl Says About Your Relationship With Control, Chaos, and Confidence

    Send us a text Before we get into the episode, let's be besties! Follow me on insta, and let me know if you're a snookie, jwow, angelina, deena or sammy   @MishOfNutrishMish We need to talk about feminine energy—and not the outdated, bubble-bath-and-flower-crown version. I’m talking about the real stuff: the magnetism, the chaos, the confidence, and the mess that happens when it’s out of balance. And who better to walk us through it than the icons of emotional expression, self-sabotage, and glow-ups themselves—the Jersey Shore girls? In this episode, we’re breaking down: Why Snooki might actually be the most energetically balanced queen of the castHow JWoww’s tough-girl act is all masculine shield, no softnessWhy Sammi wasn’t just “in love”—she was stuck in wounded feminine patternsHow Deena is all heart, no backbone (and why we love her anyway)And what Angelina could be… if she ever decided to heal instead of spiralBut this isn’t just a nostalgic character roast (although… you’re welcome). This is a mirror. We’re using these archetypes to reflect back where you might be operating from wounded energy without even realizing it—and how to shift into your soft, powerful, magnetic self without losing your edge. If you’ve ever: Felt “too much” or “not enough” in relationshipsStruggled to balance being strong with being softGot stuck in cycles of overgiving, overthinking, or overreactingBeen told you’re “intimidating,” “clingy,” or “just dramatic”…then this episode is for you. Let’s give feminine and masculine energy the modern-day PR makeover it deserves—one GTL moment at a time.
