In this heartfelt episode, Michele + River open with a reflection on River's recent experience at an Indigenous wedding, setting the stage for a rich conversation on connection, tradition, and presence. They’re joined by poet and coach James Kerti, who shares his journey of using poetry to navigate personal transformation and support women entrepreneurs.

Together, they explore powerful themes of authenticity, vulnerability, and the delicate balance between being seen and staying grounded in one's truth. James offers thoughtful insights on honoring your gifts, staying aligned with your mission, and practicing self-compassion, especially in a world that often prioritizes performance over presence.

The episode closes with a deep dive into the role of creativity and human connection in life and business, reminding listeners that the most meaningful growth often begins with simply showing up as your full, honest self.
