Until someone on my team who noticed I was losing my mind said to me: “Ok, Michelle, you’re on a need-to-know basis. If you don’t need to know, we’re not telling you.” And that changed everything.Nothing about the situation changed. It’s still unfolding. But my perception of it did. And that’s what this episode is really about—how fear runs the show when we don’t realize it’s just a projection, not a fact.I break down:Why fear isn’t logical—it’s a leftover pattern from your childhoodHow fears like failure, abandonment, being seen, or not being enough show up in your adult life (yes, even in your job and dating life)Why your nervous system will literally defend your fear like it’s your identityAnd how to start rewiring those beliefs so fear stops making your life smaller than it’s meant to beMy intention with this episode is simple: To show you that fear isn’t real. But your dreams are. Let’s stop letting old programming run your new life.If this hits, DM me or share the episode and tag me—I love knowing what resonates. If you’re curious what that looks like in your own life, I take on a few private clients at a time reserve a personal 1:1 coaching session with me hereFollow Michelle on Instagram @Mish_Blum

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
