    Embracing the Detour: A New Way to Look at Tarot Reversals

    Have you ever pulled a tarot card upside down and felt an immediate flash of worry? In this solo episode, Michelle reframes tarot reversals from a sign of regression into what they truly are: a scenic detour. There is nothing wrong, no failure, and no backward movement when a card flips. Instead, Michelle explains how these detours invite us to connect with the energy of the card before it, providing a beautiful path toward deeper clarity and comfort.

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the "right" things on your healing journey, yet somehow you’re still getting stuck in a loop of pain or stagnation? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I invite you to step out of the boxes you’ve been trying to fit into and explore what it truly means to Choose Yourself®. We often talk about self-care and healing, but the real magic happens when we learn to honor our own unique alchemy. When we ignore our inner wisdom, the universe has a way of sending a "Spiritual 2x4" to gently (or not so gently!) give us the opportunity to shift back into alignment. I share how choosing yourself consistently builds the scaffolding for deep inner trust, allowing you to connect with your capital-S Self—even when external circumstances feel challenging.  Plus, I share an exciting update on my forthcoming book (the dirty draft is done!) and a sneak peek into The Spiritual 2x4 Oracle Deck, with a Kickstarter campaign coming soon!  In this episode, you’ll discover: What it actually means to Choose Yourself® to build lasting inner trust. How to recognize when a "Spiritual 2x4" is trying to get your attention. The one simple question to ask yourself to ensure your spiritual practices are genuinely yours. Send us Fan Mail This podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services. -------------------------------------------------------------- Want more from Michelle?

    Logic Meets Magic: Navigating Alchemy, Faith, and Infinite Possibilities with Shylla Webb

    What if the very things that exhaust you are just invitations to change how you are dancing with life?  In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I sit down with my friend Shylla Webb of Inner Matter for a beautiful, messy, and deeply grounding conversation about what happens when logic meets magic and human meets divine. Shylla shares her journey from navigating childhood grief and a rigid religious framework to realizing that true faith isn’t about forcing black-and-white answers—it’s about leaning into infinite possibilities.  Together, we explore how to discern the difference between your highest self and your egoic mind, the profound practice of letting go of what no longer serves your capacity, and why shifting from a "grind" mentality into a state of flow changes absolutely everything. If you’ve been feeling frozen by choices, stuck in the hustle, or afraid to step into the unknown, this episode is your reminder to extend the same grace to yourself that you so freely give to the rest of the world.  "Why grind when you can flow? If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no."  Connect with Shylla: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InnerMatter Website: https://innermatter.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shyllawebb/ Send us Fan Mail This podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services. -------------------------------------------------------------- Want more from Michelle?

    Finding the Sparkle: Why Dark Humor and Blank Calendars Are Good for the Soul

    Sometimes life keeps lifing, and we get so caught up in the heavy that we forget to pause, connect, and celebrate. In this lighthearted yet deeply grounded episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I’m joined by my wonderful friend Tanya Smart. Tanya opens up about navigating an intense season of high work stress, the beautiful relief of reaching a finite end date, and what it truly feels like to welcome a summer of pure freedom and creative play.  Together, we explore the duality of stress and celebration, the healing power of dark humor, and why it is so necessary to protect empty space in our calendars. If you are feeling overwhelmed or are ready to transition into your own season of calm, this episode is a gentle invitation to lighten the heavy and find the funny in the middle of the mess.  Connect with Tanya: Explore Tanya’s creative writing and reflections on her Substack: @TFSmart.
