HI THERE. I’M MICHELE WATERMAN,AND I KNOW YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS
HOW CAN I SIT OVER HERE AND SAY SOMETHING SO BOLD?
BECAUSE I’M LIVING PROOF.
Twenty years ago, the odds were stacked against me. I’d made the choice to get sober and quit drinking, and during that first year, I got my ass kicked. (#realtalk)
My then husband was in a terrible motorcycle accident, suffering a traumatic brain injury right before our daughter was born. I got swept up in the river of postpartum overwhelm after learning our baby was born with a heart defect, and shortly after, our eldest was diagnosed with severe autism.
Y’know when they say you’re up Sh*t Creek without a paddle? I was stuck in the middle of a Sh*t Ocean without a life raft, and the hungry sharks were circling closer and closer by the day.
SO I TAUGHT MYSELF TO SWIM.
Every day I chose not to drink, and twenty years later, my small wins have added up to massive mountains that I’m proud of. (You can see my full fancy rap sheet below.)
Bottom line? I can tell you with complete sincerity that if you make the choice to change, this can (and WILL) be the moment that improves your life for good.
It’s up to YOU and the question is simply this: Will you LEVERAGE the gift of THIS precious MOMENT?
Let YES roll off your tongue my friend! And let NOW be the time you step up into your personal brand of excellence!

BREAK THROUGH THE B.S.
Rediscover who you are.
We’re force-fed a whole lot of noise that tells us who to be, how to feel, and precisely the ways we’re falling short. (Cue the most massive eye roll.) The time has come to ditch those old stories and step into a whole new world of empowerment, peace + purpose.
“SOMETIMES WE MISS OUT ON THE BURSTS OF JOY - OFTEN ORDINARY MOMENTS - BECAUSE WE ARE TOO BUSY CHASING DOWN EXTRAORDINARY MOMENTS. OTHER TIMES WE’RE SO AFRAID OF THE DARK THAT WE DON’T DARE LET OURSELVES ENJOY THE LIGHT.”
“I BELIEVE A JOYFUL LIFE IS MADE UP OF JOYFUL MOMENTS GRACEFULLY STRUNG TOGETHER BY TRUST, GRATITUDE, INSPIRATION, AND FAITH.”
“THERE IS NO JOY WITHOUT GRATITUDE.”
