Ep. 201: The Affair That Saved Her Life
What if the moment you were most judged for was the beginning of your freedom? In this unfiltered and soul-stirring episode, host Andrea Atherton is joined by spiritual intuitive and truth-speaker Michelle Ella Powell for a courageous conversation about healing that doesn’t fit the mold. Together, they explore the sacred unraveling that begins when we choose ourselves—even when the world tells us we’re wrong—and how pleasure, truth, and embodiment can lead us home to the life we were born to live.
Michelle opens up about surviving a decade-long, toxic, and emotionally abusive marriage to a sociopathic narcissist. This relationship left her disconnected from her truth, her power, and her body. But it was an affair — one that involved BDSM — that became the spark of her liberation. Far from being a source of shame, this relationship cracked her open, allowing her to reclaim her voice, her sensuality, and her right to safety and pleasure. Through BDSM, Michelle found a path to healing that honored her boundaries, restored her sense of sovereignty, and reawakened her spirit in ways traditional healing paths could not.
Now married to the love of her life, Jesse, and mothering two spirited boys, Michelle continues to walk the path of radical authenticity and conscious connection. She and Andrea speak openly about love's complexities, separation and reunion cycles, and the holy work of becoming. This episode is a reclamation song for anyone who’s ever been told their healing was wrong, messy, or too much — a reminder that the path to freedom is often wild, but always sacred.
