Michelle is one of those cool people who is unapologetically herself…. created her life the way she wants it & walks her talk. Growing up witches were either Bewitched or the Wicked Witch of the West, not the cool chick your friends with. That’s why I dig Michelle because she breaks the mold because her intention is to help people through her practices and craft. Listen in and you learn what it is to be a modern-day witch. Actually, I think most women are modern-day witches. Michelle is magical! SHOW NOTES: Michelle makes amazing talisman. A lot of people carry family and ancestral patterns. The deeper the wound the harder it is to remove. Being a witch for Michelle means: an inner knowing, making magic for healing, tuning into the earth and seasonal cycles. There is a magical and spiritual component to being a witch. The less apologetic you are, the less flack you get. It is all about boundaries.
