MUVE Forward

In this episode of The Muve Forward Podcast, I’m sharing a deeply personal and honest story about how easy it is to fall into the trap of noticing everything that’s “wrong” in your life — and how shifting your focus even slightly can change your entire energy. This is a high-vibe, inspiring conversation about rewiring your mindset from lack to possibility, reconnecting to what’s already working, and remembering that growth often ha...

In This Episode:

• The importance of recognizing life’s seasons — and how winter is just as valuable as summer.
• My personal reflections on feeling “stuck” and learning to trust the process.
• The story behind Muve Life Activewear and how movement mirrors personal evolution...

If there’s one thing that shapes how we show up in the world, it’s belief.

Not skill. Not credentials. Not even talent.
Belief.

When we believe in something, truly believe, our energy changes. Our voice steadies. Our breath deepens. We walk differently. We speak differently. We stop waiting for permission and start taking action with confidence.

But when doubt creeps in? Everything slows. We second-guess. We hesitate. We shrink. T...

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Laura Federico, co-author of The Cycle Book, to talk all things menstrual health, fertility, and body literacy.

In this empowering solo episode, I’m sharing exactly what changed when I stopped drinking over five years ago — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. This is more than a sobriety story. It’s a call to check in with yourself and ask: Is alcohol actually helping me feel better? Or is it holding me back?

We get into:

• The physical healing I didn’t expect
• The spiritual side of drinking (and why they call it “spirits”)
• Why ...

In this episode, I’m getting honest about the scarcity mindset so many of us are stuck in — and how I’m starting to shift out of it.

Ever feel like you should be thriving — but instead you’re just tired, foggy, or not quite yourself?

If you’re in your 30s or approaching 40, you’re not alone. So many women are waking up to the realization that what once worked — the late nights, the drinks, the constant “go-go-go” — just… doesn’t anymore.

This is the episode for you if you're starting to feel the nudge to slow down, clean up your habits, and reconnect with wha...

Last night Michelle went to a yoga session with instructor Monique and it was more than just movement; it was a journey into the heart of love. Between poses, she posed a question that lingered: "If we can give so much love to others, why don't we offer that same love to ourselves?"​

This inquiry led us to explore the concept of self-love—not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Monique introduced the idea of "coatin...

The holidays can be a beautiful time of year, but for many of us, it also brings added stress—family gatherings, endless to-do lists, financial pressures, and an overwhelming abundance of food. If you’ve ever found yourself turning to emotional eating, feeling guilty afterward, or punishing yourself with restrictive habits or excessive workouts, know that you are not alone.

On this week’s podcast, I’m joined by Amber Romaniuk, an Em...

Life doesn’t always move in a straight line. Sometimes, we find ourselves in the messy middle—navigating change, uncertainty, and the in-between spaces where we’re not quite where we were, but not yet where we want to be.

In this episode of Muve Forward, I open up about my own life transition. I’ve faced big shifts recently—losing a steady job, building my activewear brand Muve Life, and trying to grow this podcast into something im...

Do you ever feel like you’re holding yourself back? Like you’re living a version of your life that’s smaller than what you’re capable of? If so, you’re not alone. So many of us fall into the trap of “playing it safe,” thinking it’s easier or less stressful. But is it really?
