Empowerment-Michelle Crean

Today 7/21 marks 11 years since I started my personal training/coaching business.

However for the past couple of years I have been pretty silent, not actively seeking new clients, sharing or posting, and I know many people have wondered where I have been and what I have been doing.

On this anniversary I feel guided that it's time for me to tell my story but to do so I have to take you back to the start:

My original logo for Empowerment reflected my target audience and mission: to empower women to prioritize their health and wellness. I utilized the gender symbol for women.

Over the years I had such a wonderful variety of clients, the majority of which became dear friends.

I loved the uniqueness of my business, being able to bring the gym to them, whether it was their home, their work, or outdoors.

During 2020 for obvious reasons I could no longer offer in person sessions so I transitioned to online training.

However it wasn't the same and my business took a hit.

But I started to realize that the real reason was because I lost my passion for personal training.

I still loved what I did but I realized that what I loved most about sessions with clients were our conversations, and they went way beyond physical fitness.

I feel it's accurate to say that every single client has told me that I was like their therapist and how good they felt after we talked.

That is what brought me joy and lit me up inside, being able to empower them by offering a safe space to be vulnerable enough to express their emotions and feelings, helping them to feel seen and heard.

But then came the realization that I didn't want to limit myself to providing that just for women because men also need such a space, and as a mother of two boys I felt it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge the masculine collective's needs.

This is when Empowerment was rebranded to the orange spiral, to reflect the feminine ENERGY that is present in all of us but has been repressed in all of us. The energy of our emotions and intuition, of nature and her cycles.

This focus on energy took my business down a more spiritual path which was actually perfectly suited for me as my educational background is in Theology, so combined with my professional background in health and wellness it blended beautifully, but I still wondered how to structure what I wanted to offer and what to even call it.

I wanted to help people understand the connection between their physical health and the energetic blockages created by unspoken thoughts, feelings and repressed emotions, and to empower them to realize they could literally create better health through healing.

This is when Intuitive Wellness Coaching was born.

And this is when Empowerment died.

You see this was when I missed the mark yet again, by responding to what I was called to do by focusing on DOING IT FOR OTHERS!

Everything that over the years I had tried to do first for other women, then for other people I was supposed to do for myself.

I was supposed to self-empower.

Not my physical body, but my spiritual body.

To realize that every change I tried to make on the outside was to feel better about myself on the inside...

And that the physical and mental symptoms and illnesses that I had were rooted in energetic blockages from unhealed emotional wounds.

I was supposed to heal myself.

To be my own coach and guide.

To learn how to turn my inner critic into my biggest cheerleader.

And to FINALLY believe that I am FULLY worthy of MY love simply for being exactly as I am.

Re-claiming our personal power to love ourselves unconditionally is the deepest form of empowerment.

If you have made it this far, I humbly thank you. Drop me a 🧡and let me know if any of this resonates with you and your journey, and if you were a client and you feel inspired to share a story of our time together I would love to hear it!

Much love,
Michelle

Pulled these cards and remembered this quote: ❤️✨🙏🏼

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson, “A Course in Miracles"

"One day you will tell your story of how you've overcome what you're going through now, and it will become part of someone else's survival guide"

That day is TODAY!!!!

I received a text from my friend Crystal because she wanted me to know that my posts often save her.*

She also told me I am the best therapist.
Every single one of my clients have told me the same thing.

People have been coming to me for advice or because they needed someone to confide in for as long as I can remember; even as a child.

It makes me come alive knowing that my energy offers others a safe space to let down their guard, that I make them feel seen, heard and understood without judgment, and that I can help them connect with their own inner guidance.

The thing is I am not a therapist. I don’t have any educational or professional experience to support what I do.

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, 🤣

Skills I have acquired over a very long career.

Skills that make me a nightmare for anyone or anything that might try to disempower you, make you feel isolated, or cause you for ONE SECOND to question or doubt your self worth.

Channeling Liam Neeson’s bad ass strength and the equally bad ass strength of vulnerability that Crystal’s text invoked in me, I knew that I have everything it takes within me, just by BEING me, to confidently step forward and offer my help to others.

CLARITY SESSIONS are an invitation to let me accompany you on your healing journey, to have someone to talk to, and to help gain perspective and see the bigger picture by viewing the situation within a spiritual framework.

These one hour sessions are open to people of all ages and can be done in person or virtually. Day and Evening hours are available.
You can purchase an individual session or multiple sessions.

Because I believe that everyone deserves help and support on their healing journey, I am very proud and grateful to be offering these sessions on a Sliding Scale rate or a Bartering arrangement.

Our mental and emotional health and wellbeing are SO so vitally important, and it is a disservice and disgrace the way our health care system is designed so that it is difficult to access services without insurance or the ability to pay. I will not be a part of that.

I want everyone to always remember that no matter how much you are struggling, or how dark it may seem, YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!

If you need someone to talk to and are interested in finding a time to do so, reach out to me. ❤️
Message me or email: [email protected]

Sending so much love, peace and light.
Michelle

MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR BODY

Make peace with your body today my friend,
for it has toiled for many years just to keep you alive.
It has grown, weathered virus and disease,
healed countless wounds and fought many unseen battles, to keep your soul intact for its journey through this life.

Yes it has changed but it has been changing since the day you were born.
And it will continue to change until the day you die.
Make peace with this.

Striving against this change, is like trying to blow away the wind. Futile, pointless, misery-making.
Your body has served you well and done so with your daily hate and disapproval.
It has suffered years of daily, hourly negativity, pulsing its way from your brain to your cells…
Not good enough, not attractive enough, not perfect.

And every day you thought it wasn’t perfect, it really, truly was.

It was keeping you alive, supporting your rash decisions, counteracting your foolish mistakes, doing everything in its power to stay in the game.
For you.

Make peace with your body today, my friend, say your apologies, right your wrongs and move on with appreciation.

You are blessed.

Look around you, not everyone is so blessed.
Not every one is breathing, walking, thriving.
And whilst you are looking around, see that nobody is perfect. The way a body looks, says nothing about its strength, its longevity, its endurance.

This is not a rehearsal, this is your one shot at a life well-lived.

Make it count.
