Witness the remarkable journey of Michelle Niemeyer as she transitions from a burnt-out lawyer to a thriving health coach, all thanks to an unexpected autoimmune diagnosis. Michelle's story is a testament to how hitting rock bottom can sometimes be the catalyst for discovering a new way of living.
In this episode of RAW CHATTER, hosted by Vicky Midwood, Michelle shares her insights on the 'Art of Bending Time,' a concept she developed to help others reclaim their time, energy, and joy. Michelle's journey began with a gruelling career in law, where burnout left her feeling empty and unfulfilled. A subsequent diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease forced her to rethink her lifestyle entirely.
Through trial and error, she discovered that healing wasn't just about medication but also about adopting a holistic approach involving mindset shifts, nutrition, and movement. She enrolled in a health coaching program and emerged with a fresh perspective on life. One of the key takeaways from Michelle's experience is the importance of understanding what truly lights you up.
By recognising her own triggers and stressors, she was able to tailor her life around activities that brought her genuine happiness and fulfilment. Michelle emphasises the significance of breaking down the traditional constructs of work-life balance, advocating instead for a more integrated approach that allows for personal and professional growth. Michelle's story is not just about overcoming personal challenges but also about inspiring others to look beyond conventional norms and find what truly matters to them.
So, what lights you up? Are you ready to bend time instead of being broken by it?
