What happens when a fiddle-playing, off-grid, freedom-loving spiritual anarchist invites you to her homestead—and hands you a loaded gun? You meet yourself in a way you never have before. And if you’re lucky, you come back changed.
In this electric episode of Fire & Soul, Michelle sits down with her soul sister and fellow sovereign rebel, Betsy Dewey—a philosopher, musician, homesteader, home-birther, and unapologetic truth-teller. They dive deep into a life well lived, from breaking free of mainstream narratives to creating a family rooted in love, liberty, and real-life connection.
What unfolds is a wildly refreshing conversation about reclaiming your power, questioning your assumptions, and choosing to live—truly live—in a world that often wants you numb.
In This Episode, We Explore:
How Betsy and her husband designed a sovereign life—on purpose
What home birth and homeschooling taught her about freedom
Why fear is the biggest trap of all (and how to break it)
Her unique approach to self-sovereignty: “Be the captain of your own damn boat”
The power of forgiveness, embodiment, and clean-hearted living
And what it really means to take life by the horns 🌱
Whether you’re brand new to the path of awakening or decades deep into your sovereignty journey, this one will light a fire in your soul—and make you want to ditch the screen, pick up a fiddle, and dance barefoot in the dirt.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
