Authenticity is one of those words everyone loves to throw around, but what does it really mean to live authentically, in your body and your life? 

In this episode, Michelle unpacks the heated debate around makeup, implants, and “toxic” choices, and why women often end up pointing fingers at each other instead of lifting one another up. 

She shares the difference between direct truth and judgment, reads real responses from her community, and offers simple ways to check in with your own embodied authenticity.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your choices make you “less authentic”,  this episode will free you from the rulebook and bring you back to your truth.

 Segments

  • Opening Story: The social media post that sparked this episode
  • Defining authenticity vs. embodied authenticity
  • The complexity of choice: makeup, food, implants & intention
  • Direct truth vs. judgment: the difference between honesty and cruelty
  • Reading responses from the Embodied Living community
  • Embodied authenticity in action: practical self-checks
  • Closing message: lifting women up, not tearing them down

This podcast is for the woman who's done with the pretending.
Done with the shrinking, the people-pleasing, the burnout badge of honor.
She’s ready to come home to her body, her truth, and her power.

I'm Michelle, a feminine embodiment guide, no-BS truth teller, and woman who spent way too many years living in her head, doubting her worth, and dimming her light.

This space is where we unravel the old stories and reconnect with what it really means to live as an embodied woman. Expect juicy conversations on:

đź’« Confidence, boundaries, and feminine energy
đź’« Healing the good girl conditioning and embracing your full self
đź’« Mindfulness, movement, tapping, and real-talk healing tools
đź’« Being a woman in a world that profits off your silence

Whether you're on a walk, in the bath, or hiding from your kids in the car (been there), these episodes are your weekly permission slip to drop back into you.

Let’s stop performing life and start living it.
