Interview with Michele Walsh Serial Entrepreneur & Coach - EP 96
Been in business since the age of 18, went from boss to broke overnight 15 years ago, reinvented my life and became a mindset and energy coach and now empower people to be emotionally and financially wealthy from the inside out.
From boss to broke and back!
Back in 2007, I’d been running a successful company for almost 20 years. However, working in an industry I hated left me feeling miserable and trapped, my stress and anxiety were through the roof. A voice was telling me there was something bigger out there for me. I had two choices: either walk away or have a complete breakdown.
Even though the thought of ditching my company was terrifying, in the midst of this chaos, there was a secondary voice that said “it’s all going to be ok, just trust.”
It was as if I had to lose everything, strip it all back so that I could find my soul’s purpose and the true meaning of how life could be.
The only meaning I knew before was outside of me – the external, the material wealth but that was at the cost of my emotional wealth and happiness. The more I acquired or achieved, the bigger the hole became in my heart.
In letting go it allowed my true path to appear. it was during a free weekend with the coaching academy that I had an epiphany – I knew how to bring out the best in people, especially women.
I started out as a generic life coach but I soon realised there was a common theme with my female clients – no matter how talented they were, they lacked the confidence to match their ability. When I shifted their energy and ancestral beliefs, their confidence skyrocketed and the by-product of this was effortlessly attracting more clients and income.
I wanted to live to my full potential and help others achieve theirs too and have a life full of joy, happiness, excitement every single day. Travel around the world, staying in luxury hotels, and experiencing the best life has to offer to match the exact same feelings I have inside – I am gifting myself with the richness of emotions – giving myself the freedom to be happy and joyful every single day.
Abundance/Wealth richness – living the fullest expression of life just being me! The truth of who I really am and unapologetically make lots of money too, be happy and rich.
Walking away from the corporate world and trusting I’d find my path, there was a darkness inside of me just eating away at me, stopping me live in the truth of who I really was. I had to be the person people expected me to be to fit into the corporate world – or so I thought. Eventually, the external rewards were never enough – the force of living in happiness and joy was just too great to ignore, I owed it to my soul.
Knowing I had a natural ability to bring out the best in others – a ridiculous thing, that the obvious had eluded me for all of my life. some part of me chose to ignore the facts until it was so blatantly obvious hit me like a meteor shower – that is when the next chapter in my life began. I knew what I was here to do – to help others live the best version of themselves and be true to who they really are.
Choosing to lose everything to gain so much more – I wish in the tormented days and nights that followed my drastic decision, I’d have held more faith. On the dark days, I felt myself sinking into the pit of fear like quicksand. But screaming louder was the voice, the inner knowing, “let go and let it all unfold with divine timing”
