Do You Have Five Minutes?What if all it took to feel good was just five minutes?In this week’s episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, I’m sharing my notes on how to build habits that actually stick and how to turn small actions into part of your identity by, in the wise words of James Clear (Atomic Habits), “reducing the scope and sticking to the schedule.”Because sometimes, five minutes is all it takes to feel good.

It takes just five good minutes to feel good!⁠Here is the full article with links to Atomic Habits and the recent Podcasts that feature James Clear as a guest (the inspiration for this episode).

What feels like fun to you but work to others?That question stopped me in my tracks.In this episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, I’m doing what I love most: sense-making. After revisiting Atomic Habits by James Clear one simple prompt kept following me around: What feels like fun to you but work to others?For me, the answer was obvious once I slowed down enough to notice it. I love consuming ideas, connecting the dots, and sharing what’s worth keeping. Books, podcasts, research, conversations; I absorb it all, distill it down, and pass it along to you. So this year, I’m leaning into that.In this episode, I share my personal “notes app” takeaways from my favorite manifestation and personal development resources, including reflections on identifying your WHAT, the neuroscience behind manifestation, and why over-consuming self-help can actually lead to action paralysis.Here is the full article with links to all of the resources mentioned in the episode.

In a world that glorifies hustle and burnout, choosing wellness can feel… well, rebellious.Huh? Rebellious? Yep! You read that right.When everyone’s chasing “busy” and “productive,” choosing balance takes courage. It means stepping off the treadmill of “more, faster, better” and deciding that you matter first.In this episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, I get to exhale with Kailin Bouse, a trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher, Reiki Master, and sound therapist, who shares her wisdom on calming the noise, returning to yourself, and learning to live a more present life.

Have you ever met someone who always seems to be thriving, no matter their circumstances? They’re resilient, adaptable, and completely unfazed.These people don’t just have technical skills or an advanced degree. And they’re not simply “lucky” (even if it looks that way).They’re in on the secret.People who thrive typically have what are called Meta Skills.I’ll be honest, the concept was new to me too. That’s why I knew I had to bring on Dr. William Ramey to explain.In this week’s episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, Dr. Ramey, a former U.S. Army Officer and Bronze Star recipient, corporate leadership coach, keynote speaker, and Executive MBA Adjunct Professor at Drexel University, breaks down how we can build and strengthen our meta skills (hint: practice, practice, practice) to move from simply surviving to thriving.We all chat about living in alignment, finding your why, and other goodness!Connect with the host, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Michelle Conway.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with ⁠⁠Dr. William RameyLearn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Orange Butterfly Effect.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

You know how this month we’ve been talking about wellness, adopting an athletic mindset, and training for life? Well, this week I want to zoom in on what might just be the most important piece of all: the finish line. Because let’s be real, how can you train with intention if you don’t know what you’re aiming for?Here’s the thing: I’ve got backup. Right on cue, The Mel Robbins Podcast dropped what I truly believe is one of the best episodes yet, an incredible conversation with creativity expert Debbie Millman about designing the life you want!Professor Millman shares a step-by-step process for what I like to call “finding your finish line,” and it feels like a treasure map guiding you toward the kind of life that’s been waiting for you all along.This week’s episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect is short, because I want you to give it a quick listen and then head straight over to The Mel Robbins Podcast. Listen to the conversation, download the workbook, and walk through the process for yourself. Then come back here next week and we'll celebrate together.And then?

We’re all athletes. Maybe not on the field, but in the arena of life. Whether you’re sitting on the sidelines, overtraining, or somewhere in between, welcome to the team. In this episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, I had the joy of chatting with Jerry Moyer, a former professional soccer player, college coach, author, and performance expert, about what it really means to show up as your best self.Jerry’s been on his personal improvement journey for decades, and he’ll be the first to tell you… he doesn’t have it all figured out. But at 62, he genuinely loves life. Why? You'll find out. Jerry shares how he reframed what it means to train for life—shifting from chasing peak performance to embracing optimal performance. Jerry is the author of Time to Fly: Finding the Courage to Take Flight, 32–0: Lessons Learned from an Undefeated Season, and most recently Ed & 8: Cleared for Takeoff. Across his books, you’ll notice a common theme: when you’re not sure what to do, just fly.
