    Why She Stays: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and Building "The Hockey Village" with Sarah Becker

    What happens when you decide to stop letting old narratives dictate who belongs in the room? In this episode, Michelle sits down with good friend Sarah Becker, founder of The Hockey Village, to discuss her mission to transform the culture around women and girls in hockey. Sarah shares her personal journey from playing varsity and college hockey to facing limiting beliefs when coaching her daughter, being replaced as a head coach, and ultimately using that pain as a catalyst to build an inclusive community. They explore the importance of female coaches, the power of asking "dumb" questions in a safe space, breaking down complex equipment and rules, and giving yourself permission to show up differently.  Connect with Sarah Becker: Website: thehockeyvillage.comYouTube: @TheHockeyVillageFacebook: The Hockey VillageSend 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?

    Holding Opposing Truths: The Internal Landscape of New Parenthood with Sam Franklin

    What happens when a major life shift turns your entire internal world upside down? In this returning-guest episode, Michelle Aalbers sits down with intuitive coach Sam Franklin to reflect on the messy, beautiful reality of new parenthood. Sam opens up about the challenge of holding two intense opposing truths at the same time—like feeling overwhelmed while simultaneously feeling deep joy—and how we can reframe our spiritual practices when our routines are completely upended. Together, they explore the struggle with perfectionism, the exhaustion of sleep deprivation, and how children act as a mirror to our own shadows and soul growth.  Connect with Sam Franklin: Website: samsintuitivecoaching.comInstagram: @samsintuitivecoachingSend 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?

    The Layers of Forgiveness: Moving from Resistance to Relief with Javi Santana

    Why is "choosing to forgive" so much harder than it sounds? In this raw and organic conversation, Michelle welcomes back returning guest Javi Santana to explore the honest, messy journey of forgiveness. From processing childhood wounds and absent parents to navigating heavy betrayal, they break down why forgiveness isn't a quick switch. Forgiveness is a layered process of honoring your inner child, feeling through the grief, and learning to forgive yourself first. Javi shares his unique "3-hour drive" ritual that helped him release a decade of anger, while Michelle explores how true forgiveness allows us to finally take a full, deep breath. Tune in for a compassionate look at how releasing emotional weight isn't about excusing the past—it's the ultimate act of self-love.  Connect with Javier Santana: Vida Brand Lab: VidaBrandLab.com  Vivir Coffee Company: VivirCoffee.com (Sign up for updates on the lifestyle brand launching later this year!) 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?

    Sacred Closings & Sacred Openings: Navigating Seasonal Energy Shifts

    What if we approached the transition of a season not with chaotic rushing, but with deep, conscious intention? In this episode, I’m sitting down to reflect on that late-August energy shift—that moment when summer starts to wind down. The time of year when the back-to-school rush threatens to hijack our peace. Feeling a bit energetically depleted myself, I was doing the dishes this morning when a powerful realization hit: if I’m not intentional about how I wrap up my summer and enter my fall, my current joy is only going to be temporary. Inspired by a friend’s sacred ritual of "closing her garden," I explore what it looks like to create our own sacred closings and sacred openings. How can we pause, honor where we are, and prepare our mind, body, and spirit for what's next? In this episode, we explore: Navigating the collective energy shift from late summer into fallHow to protect your inner peace when your energetic battery is running lowThe beautiful metaphor of "closing your garden" for the seasonCreating simple, sacred rituals to honor life transitionsListening to what your mind, body, and spirit truly need right nowLinks & Resources Mentioned: Need Energetic Support Right Now?

    Checking In: The Art of Awareness and Personal Energy

    How often do you stop and check in with your internal energy before moving through your day? In this solo episode, Michelle dives into personal energy awareness—exploring how we experience our internal capacity, notice shifts in our physical body, and project that energy to others, even across a Zoom screen.  Michelle discusses the power of a quick daily check-in to assess your current state, align how you want to show up with how you are actually able to show up, and give yourself grace if your capacity is feeling low. Plus, she shares an invitation for you to try a simple, one-minute energy check-in ritual to better support yourself throughout the week. What is your energy telling you today?
