What if the things that make your soul come alive are actually breadcrumbs leading you back to who you really are?

Hot Mess Magic

Discover how to reconnect with your authentic self through forgotten passions and intuitive guidance. Learn to trust your soul's breadcrumbs in this personal development podcast episode about self discovery and spiritual awakening.

Episode Summary

Michelle shares her transformative week of rediscovering your authentic self - from watching her brother play hockey to exploring new towns and standing in an old theater. This personal development podcast episode reveals how authentic being naturally expresses itself through activities that light you up, helping you move from survival mode into your true essence. It's the perfect follow-up to Episode 5's "There is No Plan B" message, showing what Plan A living actually looks like in practice for finding your purpose.

Key Takeaways for Self Discovery Journey

• Your forgotten passions are breadcrumbs to your authentic self - The things that made you light up before societal conditioning kicked in are still part of who you are and essential for rediscovering your passion
• Authentic being vs. fear-based doing - When you're truly finding your authentic self, you gravitate toward what lights you up rather than what you think you "should" do
• Trust your intuitive guidance - That voice saying "go see the theater" or "explore this town" is your soul guiding you back to yourself through spiritual awakening signs
• Release shame and guilt immediately - These emotions only serve to show you where healing is needed for personal transformation, then let them go
• Call old friends for perspective - People who knew you 20+ years ago can reflect back forgotten parts of yourself you've lost touch with
