In this juicy episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, I sit down with love strategist and author Michelle Chung, joining us all the way from Australia, to talk about something so many ambitious, self-sufficient women wonder: Can I attract a partner who truly aligns with who I am—without dating burnout or settling?

Michelle shares her powerful journey from divorce to manifesting a deeply aligned relationship, and breaks down why core values—not chemistry or hobbies—should lead the way. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or wondering why love keeps feeling out of reach, this episode will help you look inward, release resistance, and reconnect with what really matters in love.

We explore why strong women sometimes choose to "shrink to fit" a relationship—and how to stop. Plus, we dive into feminine and masculine energies, soul-aligned manifestation, and what truly makes a relationship effortless.

✨ Takeaways:

  • Core values—not hobbies or chemistry—are the foundation of a lasting relationship.
  • Resistance, not bad luck, is often what blocks our manifestations.
  • You can manifest love, but only if you're emotionally available and open to receiving.
  • Feminine energy is about returning inward—not just looking feminine.
  • Strong women must learn to stop “leading” in relationships they want to receive love in.
  • Being clear on your non-negotiables helps you avoid settling or trying to change a partner.
  • Respect is a man’s version of unconditional love—it matters deeply in sustaining intimacy.
  • You don’t have to “be less” to be loved, but you do have to be aligned.
  • Releasing control isn’t weakness—it’s a path to connection.

💫 Whether you’re dreaming of your soulmate or trying to deepen the love you already have, this episode is your permission to stop shrinking to fit and start attracting the love you deserve—by showing up as your full, unapologetic self.
