Hypothetically Intentional

Sometimes life keeps lifing, and we get so caught up in the heavy that we forget to pause, connect, and celebrate. In this lighthearted yet deeply grounded episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I’m joined by my wonderful friend Tanya Smart. Tanya opens up about navigating an intense season of high work stress, the beautiful relief of reaching a finite end date, and what it truly feels like to welcome a summer of pure freedom and creative play. Together, we explore the duality of stress and celebration, the healing power of dark humor, and why it is so necessary to protect empty space in our calendars. If you are feeling overwhelmed or are ready to transition into your own season of calm, this episode is a gentle invitation to lighten the heavy and find the funny in the middle of the mess. Connect with Tanya: Explore Tanya’s creative writing and reflections on her Substack: @TFSmart.Send us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?

Have you ever let perfectionism steal the joy from your own creative expression? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I sit down with Laura Marks, Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), life coach, and the founder of Indy Tangles. Laura shares her profound journey from traditional visual arts—where competitive exhibits left her feeling burned out and soul-crushed—to discovering the liberating, structured method of Zentangle. Together, we explore how repetitive, non-representational patterns serve as a literal pressure release valve for a stressed nervous system. Laura opens up about her ten years of work facilitating expressive art sessions for cancer survivors and caregivers, demonstrating how a single pen stroke can teach us resilience, presence, and surrender when life gets turned upside down. Whether you consider yourself an artist or haven't picked up a pen since childhood, this conversation is an invitation to step out of your rigid mind and drop straight into your heart space. In this episode, we discuss:Why traditional art spaces can feel soul-crushing and how to heal your inner artist. The definition of Zentangle and why it is different from aimless doodling. How non-representational art silences the perfectionist critic in your head. The beautiful way art leads to personal confidence and community connection. How to handle the "unplanned lines" we draw in our art and in our lives. Using simple creative tools to find instant pockets of reprieve and regulate your nervous system. About Our Guest: Laura Marks is a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), health and life coach, and the heart behind Indy Tangles. With a master's degree in counseling and a background in visual arts, Laura blends deep emotional connection with tactile creativity. For over a decade, she has facilitated expressive arts for the integrative therapy program at Hartford Hospital, helping cancer survivors and caregivers navigate health crises through the soothing rhythm of repetitive patterns. When she isn’t teaching public workshops online or hosting regional art retreats, she brings her regulating creative practices into her full-time work within a fast-paced law firm environment. Connect with Laura:Website: https://www.indytangles.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IndyTangles/Instagram: @lauramarks297Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/laura-marks-czt-29639185071Connect with Michelle:Join the Event: Aligned & Integrated Virtual SummitSoul Care Support: Tap into your highest alignment by requesting a spot on our Free Reiki Grid or booking a one-on-one Soul Growth Tarot Coaching session.Send us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?

In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, we are again honoring parenthood, this time focusing on Father's Day. Following our recent Mother's Day conversation about parenthood, we are turning our curiosity toward the experience of fatherhood —examining the expectations we place on parents and how we navigate our own upbringings. I am joined by my dear friend Javier Santana, a father of three daughters who chose to consciously process his relationship with his past so he could show up with complete, undivided presence for his family. Javier shares his powerful story of navigating the absence of his own father, the massive transition of moving from Puerto Rico to Virginia at age 11 without knowing English, and the incredible three-hour drive that ultimately allowed him to find true forgiveness and closure. Together, we unpack why true growth means moving past parental blame, how to step into accountability for our current choices, and look at the profound question every parent needs to answer: We always say we would die for our children—but are we willing to live for them? Connect with Javier Santana:Vida Brand Lab: VidaBrandLab.com  Vivir Coffee Company: VivirCoffee.com (Sign up for updates on the lifestyle brand launching later this year!) Send us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?

Have you ever felt like an expert in the language of healing, yet still feel trapped in the same old patterns? In this solo episode, I share a sneak peek into my upcoming book, Never Broken, Never Healed, Always Whole. Together, we explore the concept of the Avoidant Seeker. The Avoidant Seeker keeps us in the loop of constantly gathering tools, books, and appointments as a subconscious shield against doing the actual, internal integration work.I break down the vital difference between your lowercase "s" self (the part shaped by wounds and conditioning) and your capital "S" Self (your wise, authentic observer). If you are tired of treating your healing journey like a transactional demolition project, this episode is your invitation to pause, surrender, and remember that you are already whole.In this episode, we discuss:Why we treat healing like a transaction and expect others to "fix" us.The trap of "avoidant seeking" and why our humanness prefers a painful known to an unpredictable unknown.Understanding the Lowercase "s" self vs. the Capital "S" Self.A powerful real-life client story illustrating the alchemy of surrender.The structural rhythm of the Choose Yourself® journey.Connect with Michelle:Ready to stop seeking and start landing?

What does it mean to be truly authentic in a world that often demands we shrink to fit in? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle is joined by Sam Franklin, an intuitive life coach and soul guide who helps people reconnect with their truth. About Our Guest: Sam (she/they) is an intuitive life coach and soul guide who blends spiritual wisdom with practical tools to help people reconnect with their authentic selves. With a background in psychotherapy, they support those who feel “othered” through healing, empowerment, and cultivating self-trust. Sam creates safe, affirming spaces for transformation and invites those they work with to step fully into their light with confidence and purpose. In This Episode: Sam shares their deeply personal journey of coming out—not just in terms of sexuality and gender, but also "coming out of the spiritual closet." We explore the messy, beautiful intersection of clinical therapy and intuitive coaching, and how understanding our soul's journey through the Akashic Records can replace shame with self-compassion. Key Conversations:The Muscle of Authenticity: Why living your truth is an active choice you make day in and day out. Therapy vs. Intuitive Coaching: Navigating the "Venn diagram" of these two healing worlds. The Akashic Records: Using the "Library of the Soul" to understand deep-seated patterns and lifetimes of programming. Self-Protection vs. Self-Abandonment: Learning the wisdom of when to be loud and when to protect your peace. Leading from Love: Sam’s final intention for moving through the world with goodness and connection. Connect with Sam:Website: samintuitivecoach.com Social Media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube): @samintuitivecoachSend us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?

What happens when a methodical, analytical bank manager is visited by the spirit of her grandmother? For Jeanette Wilson, it was the beginning of a journey from the corporate world to becoming a leading voice in the complementary healing world. About Our Guest:Jeanette Wilson’s life took an unexpected turn at 31 when she began seeing Spirit. Prior to this, she was not "spiritual" or "open-minded"—she was a bank manager with two degrees, serving as a training manager for a very traditional bank in the North of England. During an NLP workshop, she realized that the voices she had heard since age six were not her own, but those of her grandfather, who had remained earthbound to look after her. Thirty-two years later, Jeanette is a renowned healer, medium, and author of four published books. She is the creator and star of the TV series Dare to Believe and tours extensively throughout the UK and New Zealand. Jeanette has two primary missions: transforming health and transforming education. She divides her time between supporting people with health challenges, mentoring healers to take their skills to the next level, and spending time with her family. In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle sits down with Jeanette to explore the incredible intersection of logic and the divine. Jeanette shares the fascinating story of her spiritual awakening, why she turned down a billion-dollar TV deal to stay in alignment with the divine, and the miraculous "spirit surgeries" she witnesses today. Connect with Jeanette:Website: www.jeanettewilson.com YouTube: @jeanettewilsonhealer Facebook: jeanette.wilson.mediumTikTok: @jeanettewilson2021Send us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?

In a world that often asks us to dwell in our wounds, what does it mean to reclaim our wholeness? In this episode, I share a personal reflection on the "slippery slope" of vulnerability and why the stories we tell—and the ones we choose to keep private—matter.I’m diving into the vital distinction between secrecy and privacy, and why I am choosing to set the record straight regarding my own history. This isn't just about correcting a misunderstanding; it’s about the responsibility we have as storytellers and listeners to honor the truth without sacrificing the people we love.Join me as I move beyond the "broken" narrative and introduce the core philosophy of my work and upcoming book: Never Broken. Never Healed. Always Whole.In this episode, we explore:The Myth of Being Broken: Why we are never truly "fixed," because we were never fundamentally damaged.Sacred Privacy: The difference between hiding out of shame and holding space out of self-respect.Clarifying the Narrative: A direct statement regarding my childhood experiences and the importance of protecting my family from false assumptions.The Healing Catalyst: How to navigate the infinite loop of healing with awareness, compassion, and courage.Send us Fan MailThis podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services.--------------------------------------------------------------Want more from Michelle?
